Rush Limbaugh Abortion Idiocy Revealed

Saturday, January 19, 2013


Whether the troops are (arguably) his biggest fans, I'd offer to you that that is more about their being a captive audience.  "They know they will be told the truth without the leftwing media propaganda" is a silly claim to make, considering that left-leaning radio personalities Thom Hartman, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Mike Malloy, are also on the AFN.  What would that say about their fans?

IMHO none of these political talk shows should be on AFN.  

As studies have shown, the worst informed citizens are those who watch Fox.  I'd guess that that's true for Limbaugh's fans, too.  In my own family, "the" Limbaugh fan is badly informed and falls into all of the other categories one expects in a Limbaugh fan - White, registered Republican, high school education, no college, enlisted in the military right out of high school under parental pressure (non-war time) because he had no direction and no interest in school (nor the grades).  The military would "train" him for a trade.  All that he learned in the military was routine, drinking and camaraderie with other males over sports.  He's a fanatic football fan and square dancer, works for his father-in-law in an appliance sales store, voted for Romney, hates labor unions (all he knows about them is what Limbaugh tells him), and can't understand how he got in to this family.  

He thinks everyone else in the family (all professionals, college-educated, most with graduate degrees) is a brainwashed id-jit.  I've told him, "Don't tell your parents I told you, but you were adopted".  He wasn't, but he actually prefers to believe it, and badgers his parents to tell him the truth so that he can find his "real family", who must be conservative Republican.  His father now tells him that he wasn't adopted, but that he was dropped on his head as an infant.  It's as good a reason for conservatism as any.
