"We have to be entertaining and not just grim … right-wing radio can be entertaining. Rush Limbaugh, for example, has a kind of bombastic but funny presence. But they have a different kind of audience. Just like the right-wing political community or clergy based based … where a CEO or minister will order their flock to do something and when they're kind of top down authoritarian — look at Bush.
"When Limbaugh says something –there are weapons of mass destruction, and any soldier who comes back to America and protests is a phony soldier — his 'ditto heads (that's what they're called),' say, 'yes, sir, that's right.'
"You saw how a super-majority of Fox listeners and conservative radio listeners believe there (are) still weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So they're uneducable."
Yeah but something something something, then they've already won, no? I don think Rush is bombastic AND funny; it's his bombast that is funny. Extremism of sorts is always funnier than measured consideration. That's why Archie Bunker was funny. It's why Morton Downy Jr. was kinda funny.
Why would you argue against people who claim that Obama's a Muslim? Just force them to say that Muslims are evil people who eat children and they want to kill them all and that's why it's a problem that Obama's a Muslim.
After 8 years of this country having George W. as a leader (8 years and all of which I lived abroad), I'm convinced that a significant portion of the US population is just beyond stupid.
I love that you used a DJ Logic album cover for this blog post ;)

Rush Limbaugh is quite funny when his party is out of power. When the right holds the Presidency than Limaugh freaks me the fuck out.
Limaugh = Limn-baugh
Well, ironically it's when his party is in power that he has no sway… so you got that going for you.
Silly, it's the media that is covering up his Muslimnity. Don't blame the truth soldiers.
The only Christianity B. Hussein believes in is Muslim Christianity.

The whole thing is a comment on the massive failure of public education in this country.
yup
These astonishingly obtuse people of which you speak; they're called 'creationists'. Also' 'fundies', and often 'whackjobs'.
And the people who were giving GWB two thumbs up to the very end? Yeah, them again.
If we all lived in Afghanistan, those same people would be screwing goats and throwing rocks at any 14 year girls who got accused of literacy.
Well you can't prove a negative. Statistically speaking that is. I'm not sure that makes sense.
