They are the political equivalent of Used Car Salesmen, in the worst meaning of the words.
I never listen to these folks. I find Rush Limbaugh an offense personality. I don't listen to offensive people.
I was out and about today and happened to realize the radio station in the car had ventured over to "Rush Radio." Beck was on there. He is a used car salesman.
To begin there is nothing honorable about what they are doing. They defame and hate. That is all that is going on with Rush Radio. There isn't anything valuable about the broadcasts.
They chronically contradict themselves. Beck contradicted himself at least three times during the time I listened to him while driving.
Rush Limbaugh contradicted himself several times. Example:
He stated, and I am paraphrasing. I really don't consider what they say as important and listening today was more a curiosity than any venture into information gathering. I don't consider them good journalists at all. But, I'll give you an example.
Rush stated '"Obama" doesn't have a policy for health care.' He doesn't address the President with respect, simply "Obama." But, that isn't the point really, the point is in the very next statement. The very next statement he said, 'Obama is angry that the Democrats in the House and Senate aren't getting his health care policy through.'
First the President didn't have a policy for health care and then the President was angry with the Democrats because his policy was voted through.
Which is it, because, it can't be both.
Then after he completely disorients my understanding of the English language he states, Democrats made him use the "R"word.
Really?
I didn't know anyone could make Rush say anything, yet alone the "R" word.
He then went on to explain 'The Code" of listening to his radio broadcast of which his savvy listeners are accustom to. It goes like this.
By stating the "R" word it was to set a trap for Democrats and make fun of them.
Hm.
Make fun of them. I think that is the point, isn't it? The "R" word is about making fun of people, regardless, if they are handicapped or not. And of course Sarah Palin whom 'called out' a White House person on the "R" word would understand that Rush is simply 'setting up' the Democrats to make fun of them.
This gets more and more pathetic as Rush and the Republican Language Rhetoric Rituals are cranked out on a daily basis.
One of the aspects Murdoch uses to protect his media from criticism when it comes to the use of language, images and whatever else he deems important to carry out his messages of hate, is that, "If we go down the path of regulating the words we can use in media, it is a dangerous thing."
Guess what Beck stated today during his radio show? 'You (meaning his listeners) need to stop the Democrats from using that language.' No lie. The King of Abusive Demeanor wants to have the Democrats control their language.
You know I could go on and on like this and make regular arguments about these horrible men, but, it takes too much of my time. I simply categorize them as irrelevant to real life in the USA. It is a sad commentary to their reality having ANY brevity to the political debate, because, the quality of any political media should be strongly based in facts and truth. Rush Radio is not about the truth, it is about creating bias and hate. And they are good at it.
This is a hideous waste of my time, but, I rarely mention the adversity they bring to people and it bowled me over today.
Beck actually stated government is NOT about protecting people. He much prefer, 'People learn the hard way.'
I always thought puppies learned the hard way when they play with each other and bite their siblings and push each other around.
BUT.
I didn't think people needed to learn anything but the alphabet, science, math and social studies, along with physical education.
Beck really complained today that the government protects people from learning.
Really?
Then what was the last quarter of 2008 all about? The Republican Philosophy of allowing people to be exploited because they are naive and hence needed to learn THE HARD WAY?
Hello, America? Do you have friends? Citizens need to ask themselves that.
THERE IS ONE OTHER THING.
Rush uses the same MO as the Murdoch jocks. Rush seems to think the President needs to debate him on health care and all the wrongful things he says will clear up instantly.
There is this personal animosity that has to be satisfied in order to resolve the issues President Obama faces according to these men. They USE that to call into their 'rant' the person listening or watching. It is a 'technique' to deceive the listener/viewer into believing 'that act' is actually possible by President Obama.
See, Rush and all the Murdoch folks are very powerful people because they are wealthy and have media access and therefore can make the President of the United States of America answer to them.
I am sure the poor, helpless and down trodden simply run to their side for satisfaction in life's inequities.
