Rush Limbaugh - do you REALLY believe what he says?
Limbaugh deals in propaganda, character ination and disinformation. That's what he gets paid to do. Is he a true believer? Maybe. Does it matter? Not really. As with ALL of the right wing radio 'entertainers' he constantly lards all kinds of accusations onto the right wing's all purpose strawman, the 'far left liberals'. A 'far left liberal' is anyone not fully on board with the GOP/Teabag/Fox 'news'/Jesus party's corporate masters. This is an organization that has purged ALL of the Eisenhower/Nixon/Jerry Ford republicans out of the party. Any moderate republican is called a RINO...no exceptions! Oddly, politically, economically and socially the democrats are about where the the Eisenhower Republicans used to be. The idea that a large population of the people in this country are 'socialists', hate America and want to destroy the christian faith, teach kids to be gay in government schools and raise your taxes is just plain goofy. Yet this is the major theme of Limbaugh and his clones. The idea that Barack Obama is a non-American muslim who belongs to a radical christian church, hates white people, wants to take your guns and turn the US over to the UN is typical of the 'information' that pes for objective reality on right wing radio and FOX. This business of right wing radio isn't just something 'that happened'. Right wing radio is the semi-official Ministry of Propaganda for the GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News'/Jesus party, an organization whose one and only purpose is to pimp for the trans national corporations and the 5% of Americans who before the next decade is out will own 95% of all the wealth of this country. The end result will be a fascisti/corporation-ist 'security' state where poverty is institutionalized and hard right 'religion' will take the place of fair wages, good benefits, world cl education and decent retirement. If you believe that Americans should aspire to fair wages, safe working conditions, a clean environment, a robust social and physical infrastructure, excellent education, affordable HEALTH INSURANCE, and decent retirement for the elderly YOU are a 'liberal' in the dictionary sense of the word. You're not a 'far left liberal' in some pejorative sense of the word as Limbaugh suggests, You're not a socialist if you believe that corporations chartered by the United States should pay their taxes, and you're not a communist if you believe in fair play for the 95% of us that work for wages. All the more reason to bring back the 'Fairness Doctrine'. You may quote me!
