Yesterday I went around the dial as I went about my daily work and listened to a sampling of the right wing talk show host. To my surprise, one of them- Neil Boortz- seemed to accept the results and said that he was willing to give President Obama his due. I was actually shocked because Boortz is usually a vile racist andc was one of the worst offenders before the election.
On the other hand, I heard nothing but contempt from Hannity and Limbaugh. Both of them sat there and stewed and pouted all afternoon. Hannity was promising "conservatism in exile" while rush just pouted for the most part.
My feeling about them is basically that America is going a different way now. Reaganism is dead. We are headed in a different direction now under the leadership of President Obama. Hannity, Limbaugh and their followers have a choice to make- they can either get on board or get left behind. If they choose to get on board, President Obama has stated that their ideas will be given a fair hearing. No they won't get their total way on many issues but their influence can have an effect on how issues and policies are dealt with if they are sitting at the table.
On the other hand, they can sit in the corner and spend the next 8 years pouting and crying like spoiled children that did not get their way. It is totally up to them whether they want to be a part of the new America or not.
Beck was not "canned". He was offered a better job at Fox. Conservatism is by no means dead. It is strengthened. Lived through the 70s? If not, you might want to read up on it. History repeats itself.
[SIZE=3]I turned on Hannity leaving work yesterday and it was so great. He was practically in tears, screaming he is a “conservative in exile” and going on about us being communist and that 53 million people don’t agree with Obama’s views. I remember in 04 when bush got 59 million against him and he put down the same argument from the left by saying “too bad, you lost” but now…[/SIZE]

Hannity has gotten on board, I was shocked last night. He said that he will give him a chance and admitted that he ran a brilliant campaign and congratulates him, he just wants to see the real him now that he is off the campaign trail, because the Rev. Wright situation still bothers him... which is understandable, but I was put off by the fact that he was able to be that civil
