Let's say I'm a Dittohead...

Let's say I'm a Dittohead, tuning in for my daily 3 hour dose of hate. During the commercial breaks I hear PSAs for all these "liberal" entities (UNCF, Feeding America, etc.), all the while Rush is assuring me he's not losing any advertisers.

What do I do?

Do I keep listening, and perhaps infect my brain with liberal propaganda?

Do I turn off Rush, and lower his ratings?

Do I doubt Rush's assurance that he's not losing any advertisers? Will this doubt cause me to question some of his other words?

Can you imagine how lost they must be when left to their own thoughts?

That's why they were listening to him in the first place... they needed the hot air to fill the black hole sucking all the air and light out of their skulls.

started they were all the AD's that they could get at the time. It was hard to take and I'm a liberal. I can't imagine dittoheads can take this for very long.

I imagine that they engage their internal rage against liberalism in all its forms during dead air. Their bloated fartsack of a leader is always blameless, so it must be the fault of liberals and the namby-pamby corporations who caved to their demands.

airing of PSAs for "liberal" entities as PROOF POSITIVE that liberals have a ton of money to advertise for their endless "bleeding heart" charities.

One can pack in a lot of manufactured truths (i.e. lies) in 20+ years of having airtime.
