Useful Fools

CBS MarketWatch headlines “Ads rushing out of Limbaugh show.” Certainly might be a worthy subject (were it true)… but a reading of the piece reveals the author to be a left wing ideologue. Clearly he would love for Limbaugh to be taken down a notch.

Read on….

A few choice tidbits… Without irony or quotes, he call Rush “the king of reactionary talk radio.” Reactionary? Is that an objective journalististic term? Reactionary is a Marxist code word for “bad guy.”

Then we have his quote from an organizer of the protest:“”Don’t call me anti-American. I served this country.”
Gee, that’s nice. So did I… but it hardly adds to the discourse - and of course Rush didn’t call that guy an anti-american anyway!

Reacting to a statement from Limbaugh’s syndicator, we find “The audience number is likely exaggerated.”

Then we hear about an aill-fated right wing attack on NYPD blue (one of my favorite shows), with the phrase “Christian Right” (as it normally is used) replaced by: “Christian” right, seeming to imply that the Christian right isn’t really Christian. Oh yeah?

Most telling, we find:“What makes this attempt particularly interesting is that progressives typically eschew ad boycotts both for free speech reasons and because it is a favorite technique of their ideological opponents.

Really, now? “Progressives” more or less invented the boycott. And they have been trying periodic advertiser boycotts against Rush for many years.

The good news, of course, is that these intellectual gnats will once more be swatted down by Rush, with half his brain tied behind his back!
