CSPIN open lies. A woman just called and compared the netroots & talk radio

According to her, the intertubes are jealous. Rush is a god, he always tells the truth, and he is fair, even-handed and reliable. The intertubes cannot compete (although she admitted to getting ALL her news from Rush) because they don't tell the truth, while Rush does.

This is the state of our nation.

1. Let us assume for a moment that she is correct

I must then wonder where all the conservative angst comes from relative to bringing back the fairness doctrine. If she is true then conservatives should demand its reimplementation post haste.

2. As a nation, we're easily fooled.

In the 50's, most people thought Joe McCarthy was OK and that the races should be separate. Today, alot of us think that torture, government secrecy and government eavesdropping is OK. We're easily manipulated.

5. This caller seems...

a little too easy to manipulate, if you ask me.

What was it that Lou Holtz said about newspapers during LSU-Florida?

"You got the front page for people who want the news, the comics for people who can't read, and the editorials for people who can't think"

4. Imagine getting "all your news" from Rush Limbaugh!

The Comedian isn't even a journalist, just a rich blowhard! The woman you describe is a mindless sheep, one of many who take up space in our country. If she thought for herself, her brain would explode.

I must say, the quality of America's citizenry, already low by international standards, continues to decline. We have become a nation of idiots, led by a criminal.

We are pathetic!

7. Actually, she's not much different that most people were years ago.

If you asked them why they always voted Dem or Pub all the time, they would say "Because MY FAMILY always has, or because MY DAD does!" Straight party line voting was VERY POPULAR! I sometimes think a lot of the Ditto Heads simply view Rush as a father figure.

6. She was a beaut, alright..

"Rush and Hannity are telling the truth..." LOL. Every single word coming out of their mouths is a lie including, "the", "a" and "and".
