Glenn's breaking off to create his own media enterprise separate from Fox makes a lot more sense when you realize he's a paranoid megalomaniac weirdo.

"I had a horrible mysterious illness and was brought back from the brink of death" also fits Beck's religious huckster model to a T.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his blindness. Seriously though, I bet it’s half true. This comes back to the "male Oprah" idea behind Beck: it’s not the severity of the illness that counts, it’s the (perceived) sincerity of the revelation of suffering. It lets him humanize himself. And he gets to cry. A lot.

They didn't have a big problem with Herman Cain for the 48 hours he appeared to be a real thing and Allen West is a tea party patron saint. Inconsistency and hypocrisy are absolute pillars of todays conservative movement, a lot more so than racism. To even survive as an engaged part of their base requires you to be able to hail something/someone one second and decry them as pure evil the next. Juan Williams was a race baiting boogeyman right up until NPR fired him, then he was a hero. War vets are supposedly one of their sacred classes too, but they had absolutely no problem with the entire party wondering aloud whether Beau Bergdahl and his family were a secret Taqqiya-terrorist cell just because Obama had something to do with him.

Limbaugh just said the state's that raised the minimum wage will lead to businesses hiring more illegals. And somehow that's a problem of the minimum wage and not businesses purposely breaking the law and screwing honest Americans. Conservatism in a nutshell.

People are starting to filibuster comment sections on any sort of national news item with this Jonathan Gruber thing: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapot...rom-the-public/ Has there been a decent, non-Rush response to this yet? I read most of what he said and it's pretty hosed up that he would just straight up say that in a public area while he's being recorded. And it's getting spun as "hahaha you are okay with your own leaders calling you a stupid voter!" because I don't think we should immediately overturn the ACA.

Maybe there's something to all those herbal supplements or SUPER MALE VITALITY things that he sells on INFOWARSLIFE DOT COM. Or maybe I just need to start drinking large quantities of WAKE UP AMERICA coffee.  I'm starting to think this is what's been keeping me down all along. I've been feeling so fatigued all the time lately. It might be the chemtrails they keep spraying over this place. Maybe I just need some WAKE UP AMERICA coffee.

The truth is irrelevent. Remember, Cokie's law. quote:I can't help but be reminded of something I like to call Cokie's Law, after Steve Roberts wife. It comes from the Village maxim, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's out there," which was based upon this quote from Cokie Roberts back in 1999: They twist poo poo dishonestly and disseminate it through right wing media channels, then it's picked up by legitmate news orgs, and presto! Yes it's a lie, but people believe it now, so whatcha gonna do liberals  .

I mean, as much as it's fun to bash Fox News anchors, she did pretty much play that off about as well as one can. Just keep going and don't draw any more attention to it. It seemed like an honest slip.

quote:RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday on the program we spent some time sharing with you the guts and details of the story by Dan Balz in the pathetic, increasingly inconsequential Washington Post about how the Democrat Party's been hollowed out the past two elections. That the old Jurassic Park dinosaurs kept winning and winning and now they finally lost and all that time no Democrat bench was developing, no youthful replacement Democrats. And Dan Balz is very, very worried here that, with these resounding two defeats in 2010, 2014, that Democrats, for all this talk about their association with the youth vote, don't have any. Obama succeeded wildly into turning America into a socialist nanny state where the poors get free food and housing *willfully ignores all the homeless and starving people that still exist in America* quote:RUSH: Here's Clarence in Philadelphia. Hi, Clarence. I'm glad you waited. You're next on the program. Hello. Can't let a single program go by without mentioning illegal immigrants, can we? quote:RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number one. Last night it was Comedy Central, and it was Colbert Report. I always do that, the Colbert Report. And it was time to make fun of your host, El Rushbo, for my take on the meaning of the election. Yeah I don't think Limbaugh gets The Colbert Report. I am under no delusion that Limbaugh himself actually believes that they were cheering for him, but apparently some of his moronic listeners unironically believe this.
