What is Wrong With These People?

Noted White House hand-maiden Hugh Hewitt recently said the following on CNN:

HEWITT: "No, that's not right, because talk radio, when you look at Rush, at Sean, at myself, at Laura Ingraham, Michael Medved, Dennis Prager, we all conduct ourselves appropriately on the air, or the FCC will smack -- smite -- smack us down.---So, I think what we have got is basically a monopoly on responsible new media on the center-right side, and talk radio is responsible new media, even though that fever swamp on the left, the Michael Moore-disease-ridden Democrats on the left, they don't want to admit that, so they won't. But, in fact, talk radio is quite responsible."

Here's right wing talk show host Neil Boortz on Cynthia McKinney, the congresswoman involved in the incident on Capitol Hill:

BOORTZ: For instance, or for goodness sakes, jump in and I'm gonna say -- I'm gonna start out with something controversial. I saw Cynthia McKinney's new hair-do. Have you seen it, Belinda? SKELTON: No.
BOORTZ: She looks like a ghetto slut.

Here's right wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh on the young black woman allegedly raped at Duke:

LIMBAUGH: They're -- they're busy. They're busy. The Reverend Jackson is in New Orleans. He's leading a big march there tomorrow. The march is -- what is it called? The -- the march for the right to return a protected vote and reconstruction. He's trying to -- they got problems down in New Orleans. They don't have voter base, and Sharpton's working on a New Orleans deal, too. He's trying to figure out how he can get involved in the deal down there at Duke where the lacrosse team --
CALLER 1: Yeah.
LIMBAUGH: -- uh, supposedly, you know, raped, some, uh, hos.

A listen to the tape shows even Rush is disoriented and shocked by this unintended sharing of his real point of view.

One can only hope that when and if the tide turns in 2006 and 2008, it will carry out this disease of right wing talk. They are even more dangerous to the future of the country than the administration they shill for. They've long since jettisoned any sense of decency, morality, or principle in favor of blind obedience to the Leader, and the country is sure to look back on them as the Roland Freislers of their time.

A few weeks ago I was listening to Sean on the radio at his outrage over "hollywood" dabbling in politics. He's calling the hollywood outspoken "idiots" then within the same breath gives praise to Ronald Reagan, going so far as to say: "I'm not a conservative republican, I'm a Ronald Reagan republican." And Ronald Reagan was Hollywood as is Arnold Schwarzenegger. I guess to some degree the two, politics and hollywood, make good bed fellows.

One can only hope that when and if the tide turns in 2006 and 2008, it will carry out this disease of right wing talk. and I certainly hope so too.

The reference to Roland Freisler is so on point. Since everything is being recorded, there are many that will be embarrassed when the dust settles...
