Re: OT: Rush Limbaugh wants America to FAIL

Rush Limbaugh is a traitor to America. By saying that he wants Obama
to fail is the same as saying he wants America to fail and to hope for
that in a time of national crisis (like none we've ever seen before in
our lifetimes) is downright treason. Rush Limbaugh should be tossed
out of the country on his ass. In fact, he and Anne Coulter are both
treasonous and both should be given a one-way ticket out of the
country permanently.

They're both clowns, with the accent on entertainment. Coulter's fairly bright, but she takes the stance that best sells her shtick. Limbaugh, well, he's a hypocrite, exaggerates and tries to do what Coulter (at times) does with intelligence, but mainly yells louder (and over and over and over again) to an audience that is more primed than ignorant (in the true sense of the word). Facts are useless to either of them unless they back up their *shtick.*

I doubt either one could care less what they're saying as long as they can have an audience. On this level, they remind me of has-been rock stars that make it on rep and by replaying nothing but their old hits.

I saw/heard Coulter interviewed 'live' in Canada, and the versions that were aired in Canada and the US were cut radically different. The Canadian version made her sound patronizing, arrogant, mildly ironic, rather obtuse about Canada and much less bitter than 'usual.' The US version was spliced in such a way that she seemed to be a Messiah preaching to the godless leftists. It was very, very amusing.

Limbaugh I've listened to perhaps a dozen times (in brief doses), and I consider him to the Jim Jones of right-wing politics. He's frequently wrong, misrepresents at will and has confused talking with farting. I hesitate to pass any coherent judgment on his audience.

Just my .84% cent's worth
