Limbaugh Incites HATE

Talk show fear monger and neo-con elitist Rush Limbaugh explains how HIS radio works. This old film clip, probably just as Limbaugh was just honing his act, was installed on YouTube a few months ago and is just now making the rounds virally because of Limbaugh's recent accusations againt the Obama White House for starting the current economic slide (thus throwing a bad thing- the current economic state- against a "good thing"- the Obama White House- in order to incite anger and fuel a knee jerk reaction from callers, who in true radio talk show host guile, he them berates and makes to look stupid because his opinion (however flawed in logic) has been totally thought through when the caller is merely calling off the cuff and unable to combat a more fully informed (again, however hopelessly flawed the logic) opinion. Here's the interview, pre diets, pre oxy-cotton addiction, pre fame, but with full ego attached:



The kind of fear mongering radio that Rush has been in the midst of is not new, but has seemed more and more mean spirited and polarizing the older I get. I stopped listening to Rush a good year or so ago (at least remotely seriously) when he was talking up Sarah Palin and anyone with any curiosity at all who did ANY research on Palin and the enture McCain campaign saw it for the wack-job that it was- it also swore me off the Republican Party and made me rethink most of their sad dogma (that and the blatant religious angle- but that's a whole other argument).

I'm NOT saying that Keith Olbermann's performance is better (Keith being listed as a "hero" in an earlier post), or more entertaining (when you understand the spin), it's just that, as with Rush during the Clinton administration) his opinions seem to be backed by more logic and facts, as least as i am able to find them.

So, beware and take ALL these pundits on TV and Radio with a BIG grain of salt. They're just spinning for ratings just like that guy who spun plates on the Ed Sullivan Show- think of every plate, bowl, and egg as a fact and a trail of logic...
