But these people are seriously seriously fucked up. I mean, really fucked up.

Well said.

I mean, SNL couldn’t do a better parody of a political party, yet these folks are serious.

One other thought comes to mind; Rush & crew are doing us a tremendous favor.

Their ratings are up, so all is well in their small minds; the good of the country is not and never really has been their concern.

So, they will continue to howl in the wilderness and continue to alienate independents and brown people, which will insure their irrelevance for many more elections to come.

I actually kinda wanted to post something on the media, since that was the subject of my first post, and one of my favorite themes. But there was just too much material converging on this for me to ignore.</p> Thanks, PD!

I’ll read them later. But these people are seriously seriously fucked up. I mean, really fucked up. Makes me think of people who argued that concentration camps build character.</p> I suppose this has been said many times upthread. I’ll read them later.
