Agreed. But that Overton WIndow you're referring to is, IMO, the direct result of the poo poo I'm talking about in this thread. It worked.

The claimed Overton Window maybe, but for those fans of the FNCU anything left of Reagan is Too Liberal For America. They are not the authority over what said window is.

And maybe even Reagan.

A quick skimming of searches for "qanon" turns up that he consistently thinks it's stupid. The earliest relevant result was from 2018

quote:

CALLER: ... Hey, have you ever heard of this person named QAnon? I never hear you mention it on your radio show.

RUSH: Have I heard of a person named QAnon?

CALLER: Yeah, he works the 4chan and 8chan.
[:newlol:] It’s an anonymous person, and I think it’s General Flynn, to be quite honest. Do a Google search on QAnon, it’s amazing, Rush, what’s going on in the dark web. Military intelligence is coming out. QAnon is a —

RUSH: I know what 4chan is. I know what 4chan is. Yeah, you’ve gotta be careful of this stuff. I cannot imagine Flynn would be doing anything right now given that he’s facing his sentencing in May or his imprisonment in May. We’ll see. Anyway, thanks much.

It also needs to be pointed out that the people who shot the guy were local cops deputized to be Marshals. There was one US Marshal on scene and he did not use his gun.

And just to hammer the point in, the police in this region are notorious for their tolerance of (and association with) white nationalist groups like the Proud Boys. It was a straight up revenge killing.

I can assure you that I did see it being forwarded earnestly.

I have to say though that it is happening less and less as people have become more aware of what they are actually about. There is less mindless forwarding of a zinger headline going on.

Rush Limbaugh says his lung cancer is terminal

Rip Testes posted:

No shortage of people willing to literally sell their souls to make millions so I expect a long list of applicants.

Thing is, Rush is actually talented and pretty good at radio, unlike a lot of these clowns. Plus he also pretty much invented this poo poo - the idea of a conservative "rebel" who tells us what the mainstrem media won't report - and now that's kind of passe and quaint or assumed. The imitators he's spawned include people who either try to raise the bar of outrage and over the top crazy/mean poo poo (Savage, Alex Jones), tried to temper it with being "reasonable" (Cain and Boortz) or otherwise just continued their normal FOX News poo poo (Hannity and Kilmeade).

I don't think the throne will be easily filled but there will be a huge list of applicants. My first thought was Hannity but then I realized he's probably already set where he is. I'm sure they could easily just move up his time slot though so I'm gonna go with him and then they'll bring in the new(er) guy for the 3pm slot.

EDIT:

Also, why do I think deep fakes are going to be the new fake news? Where Republicans are the main purveyors and consumers of it but will also be the ones claiming it was done to them. I stumbled across this article on it and I think it's going to be a huge problem sooner rather than later.

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/10/us/manipulated-media-tech-fake-news-trnd/

Ironic that everyone having a camera on them at all times and everything being recorded constantly is very shortly going to lead to MORE skepticism about irrefutable proof than less. "Having it on tape" was the goal of achieving irrefutable proof but that's going to end soon. Once they master how to make Scar Jo look realistic in a porn clip (since first things first) they'll move on quickly to AOC, Omar or Pelosi admitting to eating babies and that Qanon is real or some poo poo.
