A long-time friend of mine posted a link on Facebook about Rush Limbaugh blaming the recent Empire State Building shooting on President Obama. Some literal shit from his mouth about Obama creating an anti-boss atmosphere, yada-fucking-yada... Obama's fault...
Whatever it was, it was a stretch even by his ridiculous *standards*. I mean, deny climate change and all things scientific but draw clear lines between tragic, extremely local violence and the president. That's not a no-brainer. That's a no-brain.
I responded to my friend that Limbaugh had less respect for his audience than we had for him.
He really does. They are the ones who have to listen to that shit AND believe it AND repeat it as if it were true. That's a tall order unless you are a fucking idiot. You have to be to believe Limbaugh. You can't listen to him and forgive hysterical hyperbole because it's a fraction of his message. It IS his message.
The GOP is off the rails because of crap like this. From Palin to Bachmann to Akin- well, gosh there are so many republican whack jobs to mention that even using those three as the highlights of the low lights just doesn't do justice. They will take anybody these days. People in the threads will quote, promote and defend anybody if it might advance their agenda even a fraction of a metaphorical inch. I don't think I've ever made a "drink the Kool Aid" reference here or anywhere but...
Sheesh. I think they're making it with salt.
