"Why are Democrats so MURDEROUS?!1" (I kid you not.)

Yes, it's the local radio wingnut station, but this one isn't the weekday nutcases. He's a doctor, fergudness'sake, spends boocoo cash on a weekly two hour infomercial for his Wingnuttiness and half hour infomercials on t.v. channels. He has zero finesse and tact, has few callers, doesn't really want callers, only lets the occasional wingnut who agrees with him talk, hangs up on any dissenter with words about how brainwashed and enslaved by government dependence they are.

Of course, 99% of his vitriol is shot at Dems, but his bugaboo word is "state-ism" and throws in just about all Rethugs as "they're all the same, George (Shrub) is no different from Hillary CLINTON."

Actually, he hates everybody.

So today he was doing a spiel on statistics, first about yesterday's unemployment numbers compared to prior years and regimes, then about murder rates broken down by ethnicity and race, probably reading from NRA handouts.

I'd never heard him mention RAYGUN before, but in the unemployment part, predictably, RAYGUN was the only one who came out without his withering vituperation. He claimed that RAYGUN's numbers showed he was putting people to work while OBAMA is just increasing the numbers departing the labor force.

But in the gun part, he went down the racist --- I mean, "racial" -- divide, claiming that Whites own 70% of the guns, but Blacks and Hispanics commit much higher percent of the murders. After he went on for ten minutes talking about nothing but race and ethnicities, he wound himself up to say that none of this was really about race, that it was about POLITICAL PARTIES, and that the minorities committing the murders are all Democrats, and after riffing on that for awhile, ended with, "WHY ARE DEMOCRATS SO MURDEROUS?!1"

His "answer," fwiw, was "government dependence." But his hating everybody, his stiff-necked-ness, twisted around to say that the poverty Medicaid people really don't make money off the deal, that the Rethugs in office, like Chris CHRISTIE and the other Rethug governors are all in the game, can't do without federal cash and if they cut out all the Medicaid and stuff the minority recipients would all relocate to other states with more benefits.

Oh, and then he went on a rant against Eastern Elites, saying, "Why don't New York and Boston just GO AWAY?!1 Why do the South and West have to be afflicted with them?!1" Very reminiscent of "Will someone rid me of this priest?!1" (BECKETT)


Very occasionally/infrequently a caller sneaks in and calls him on his crap, like how he (the medical establishment) cash in on Medicare and other corporate welfare.

4. He's following Rush's method. And his statism, etc. is exactly what you'll find here:

You have found an unrepentant, refusing to grow out of the past, Reagan Republican. Read all that page, it's revolting. To teach this mindless repeater, and understand where he's coming from, learn that. It's all in there. Not an original thought since the 1980's.

You might want to research the biggest beggars, corporations and how they are destroying hearts, minds and bodies with their media shills and other things that promote sociopathic behavior. Be sure to give him a good schooling on libertarians, Ayn Rand and the rest.

Then ask him just what was so damn awful about FDR and the New Deal in practice, not some rightwing fantasy, and did he ever benefit from any of it. Tell him about the history of the Koch brothers after viewing the video or read the full transcript provided here at DU:

Thom Hartmann: Conservative Millennials, Boomers & Libertarians all being Conned

Quiz him on what is his idea of national unity, while keeping in mind that you're not speaking to an independent thinker, but a mindless repeater of right wing slogans, when he's so full of hate for fellow Americans. His philosophy won't make a strong nation, but one that will be cut up and sold off.

Good luck with it, but I don't talk to people that low down, they want to bring me to get stuck in their mental sewer and I'm not playing with them. But it can be a necessary work.

5. The government aid reason sounds about right to me.

I mean, I know if I were to get enough government aid and health care live comfortably on and take care of myself, the first thing I'd want to to do is jeopardize that and start killing people. It's common sense.
