11. Have you ever listened to Limbaugh, or Hannity, or O'Reilly
or pick any old RW talking head, on radio or TV, it doesn't matter which. I think they're all pretty much the same.

They talk just like that ALL THE TIME. They shout, shriek, and screech. They openly and constantly insult anyone they don't agree with in the crudest terms that they can use without being thrown off the air. They lie constantly, and many of their listeners KNOW they're lying at least some of the time and they excuse it because "liberals lie ALL the time about everything, so what if lies occasionally for a good cause." Also, they cut off and/or talk over people who are trying to express an opposing view, rather then let them have their say.

These people think it's acceptable to behave in this manner because they see and hear this behavior every frigging day on TV and radio. People are imitative beings; that's how we learn. These people happen to be imitating some of the rudest folks around.
