Crowder still seems like he's young enough to maybe come around the other side. He seems really disillusioned by GOP politics. For as much crap as the GOP gives Dems about being young starry-eyed idealists they sure require a lot of that from their followers. Maybe instead of being head over heels for Obama like a lot of young people were he got suckered into being an Alex P. Keaton type.

The Michael Savage-to-afternoons announcement on those Cumulus-owned stations that had Hannity was made official today. Also Gretchen Carlson is resurfacing on Fox News with a daily show in the 2PM hour: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/09/25/fox-news-channel-to-debut-the-real-story-with-gretchen-carlson-on-monday-september-30th/204958/

I think that's the first time I've heard a fox news type say 'dog-whistle racism' ever. Is it an intentional attempt at muddying the water or are they really *that* isolated from dialogue?

I think it, at least in part, stems from the growing conservative consensus that it is now straight white Christians that are discriminated against. What with the war on Christmas and immigrants/minorities becoming a larger part of society republicans keep pushing that liberals are the real racists, against both whites and blacks, for different reasons.

I hate whites because of my bleeding-heart liberal guilt and the fervent belief that Western Civilization is the root of all evil in the world. I hate blacks with the "racism of lowered expectations" by thinking they're so inferior that they can't succeed without affirmative action. Or I use government programs to keep them pacified and under whitey's thumb.

I guess this falls under "Great Americans": Shellie Zimmerman has told the press that her totally innocent (that's what not guilty means) husband went on a "victory tour" without her.

Phone posted:So I haven't heard anybody talk about Rush today, I'm guessing that the usual group of people who are brave enough to weather his never-ending stream of bullshit have all chomped down on their cyanide filled molar? I listened for a little bit today and the thing that stood out for me was a new term I hadn't heard before. "Info-babes", particularly "info-babes" from MSNBC because I guess the left wing news outlets like to put pretty faces and big tits on camera to deliver the news and that's sort of their thing or something. It's really weird, not only because FOX does exactly that as a matter of practice, but Rush also likes to make fun of Rachael Maddow, Chelsea Clinton, Janet Reno, Hillary and basically all lesbians for being "ugly" and "mannish" or whatever so I don't even know. The Atlantic I guess set up some sort of "Women in Politics" seminar or something today and rush said "can you imagine how many 'ball restraints' were present at that meeting" or something to that effect. Yeah, it was pretty hilarious. I know that I want my news delivered to me by fat, cigar smoking, oxycontin riddled, deaf, sweating blowhards, but I'm funny that way. I had to turn it off after 5 minutes, since I don't want my exposed to it. He's 2.5 and likes classic rock. When he heard Rush he said "listen to guitars, please?" so "Sweet Child O' Mine" it was. You really don;t have to listen long to hear an outright lie, distortion of the truth, logical inconsistency, self contradiction, racist dog whistle, out of context quote or misleading statistic. Al Franken used to play a game with it and see if he could make it to the airport before Rush told a lie. He never did. Try it. Listen for 5 or 10 minutes and see if you don't happen upon one of those things. Another lady called and said "I am just so interested and obsessed with the truth and the only place I can go to hear it is your show". That's when I turned it off.

I think it's a combination of conservatives always being the last to know or learn anything (Well of course interracial marriage is OK) and the whole " New Country Music Video Looks Like Old Rock Video" thing.

Cumulus just wants their own lineup of talk shows to pump out to their talk stations and any suckers that are willing to carry them, but the Limbaughs, Hannitys, or even Levins are expensive. So out come the bargain brand knockoffs like Geraldo, Huckabee and now Savage who sued to get out of his last contact with a syndicator. I'm sure he's just Hannity insurance that cost less than the 15-20% or so of Hannity's tab they were picking up as part of a joint agreement. Geraldo is.....odd, Huckabee can actually be charming sometimes with his good 'ol boy schtick, but for the life of me I can't think of another 6 hours block of unpleasantness that can stack up to Savage and Levin back to back M-F. It's like they're actively trying to push people away from these stations.

OK, so apparently Glenn Beck thinks that Ted Cruz is some sort of saint. Can't make this poo poo up... http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/09/27/glenn-talks-to-sen-ted-cruz-for-the-first-time-since-marathon-21-hour-anti-obamacare-speech/ quote:Establishment Republicans like Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and others have expressed they will side with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats in voting for cloture, a move that has been quite perplexing for Glenn and most conservatives. Glenn said that Cruz is the only politician in Washington "doing the right thing and fighting for the American people." Yes, because apparently the right thing to do is destroy the entire system out of spite over a thing a Democrat did.

He also kind of whistles right by the fact that you aren't just flipping the bird to the LAMESTREAM PEEDIA by saying who cares lets go for it. I swear there's another somewhat important group of people who have already been polled and confirmed to think that it's their fault. They were either called the general public or voters or something I think?

During the 2000 primaries, though, I seem to remember at least a few vocal conservative voices really hating on McCain, though. I think Limbaugh, especially, hated him. But I wonder how much of that was due to talk at the time of him being seen as a sort of moderate Republican which made him more appealing to liberals.

I don't think moderate had anything to do with it (regardless of if any stances MCCain took pre-2000 were moderate). It is just that establishment support lined up behind W. Bush the moment he announced. All serious contenders either dropped out, and McCain was the only one who was left who wasn't a complete joke.

As an example of willfully lying to his callers and his audience, Herman Cain took a call yesterday asking about how the ACA exchanges work and wondering if you have to wait until tax time to reclaim the money. Herman told him he did.the NYTimes posted:The exchanges are likely to be most attractive to people who qualify for subsidized coverage. Individuals with low and moderate incomes may be eligible for a tax credit, which can be used right away, like a gift card, to reduce their monthly premiums. So either Herman was lying or this successful businessman, who I assume knows a thing or two about tax returns, is too stupid to know what a "tax credit" means.

For some unknown reason, Mark Levin is on CNN right now. He's not screaming or yelling, but he is totally doing the conservative thing of spewing out a lot of words and then dodging the questions he is asked when the questions poke holes in the things he just finished saying.

It's fun watching the true believers who are unfortunate enough to be blessed with intellect and a smidgen of personal integrity squirm under the weight of their own cognitive dissonance. Eventually they embrace it, and when that happens we get little gems like Shep Smith, and now Wallace. "Go gently caress yourself, Tucker" is all he wanted to say.

Sometimes, I feel bad for McCain, because he seem(ed) like a guy who had genuine conservative beliefs that were probably at some point defensible, but he (and the rest of the country, really) was just constantly being dragged to the right by the nutjobs and he could either go along with it or go down in flames. While it's romantic to think he should go down in flames to stand up for his principles, I don't know that that would be the best thing to do in practice (as he might be replaced by someone who is really a nutjob at heart, etc).

That's not the function he serves at Fox. Fox is run by the rules of some incredibly deeply entrenched misogyny. Chris Wallace will keep his job forever because, as a male, he is seen as having more integrity than the female hosts who are "just reading the news." So they have the females play traffic cop on air between the "real" news people who are the men. Also, him shutting down Tucker Carlson in that clip is neither here nor there. The guy is rarely actually objective, and he seems more miffed that Tucker Carlson wants him to bloviate about identity politics instead of the dumb beltway bullshit that he expected to be talking about. Basically the thinking going through his head in the clip is, "Those kind of dumb rear end comments are the reason you're tossing instead of being tossed to."
