Such a party is always a danger to any democracy, because it always has big money behind it. Those with money have common interests, and naturally want control. The republican Supreme Court has made the party even more powerful with its Citizens United ruling.
Limbaugh and Fox are the voices of that party, speaking to the lower classes on behalf of the wealthy. Who hasn't figured that out yet??
Those afflicted with rightwingitis will never figure anything out. They only know what they have been told!!!

And that's worse than tinkeritus how?

The need to always try and put forth a solution to everything is as much a disease as ideological strongholds.

The more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.

So has the word a$$hole.

I wonder if anyone has ever told the clown doing all the talking that Limbaugh keeps saying he is not a part of the GOP. I guess not but then look at the kind of people he associates with. What a group the token conservative, Cupp, got in with. She is one brave young women getting into that bunch alone.

But Limbaugh is vital to the GOP's angry, racist, willfully ignorant "base." You know, the guys who keep electing teabaggers in the primaries.

Just wondering if someone on the "right" used these same words to explain people of the "left" would it be racist..........

Rahm Emmanuel referred to as "uncle ruckus" & Wasserman-Schultz as a "token".......I mean really would this have sent some of you over the edge????
Truthfully I would call them the same thing if they had done what what the above has done. Considering it was quite obvious what their role were in the republican party, to attack the president in such a way that only another black person can without being labeled as a racist and after their usefullness is no longer needed they would disappear. I mean do you really think that the democrats were responsible for herman's short presidential run?

What bothered me as a blackman living in America is the fact that they allowed themselves to be used. I think that it is funny that many of you complain about black social issues, crime, mass incarserations, drugs, welfare ect but look what our children have to look up to...bufoons to be used at will and paraded around by the poweres to be

MSNBC always calls O'Reilly and Hannity Republicans, yet O'Reilly has always been a registered Independent and Hannity has been a registered Conservative. Not sure about Limbaugh... I don't listen to talk radio or radio in general.

It has to do with the AMAZING number of Conservatives that have the EXACT same talking points as these guys.

If you don't think it's true then you either are not paying attention you've selectively chosen to ignore it.

This is a lengthy article, but good. It is what Andrew Sullivan was talking about--if you had watched the whole show. It is about the GOP's media cocoon and what they can do to overcome it.
They don't want to overcome it. The GOP and the American Conservative Movement is totally driven by IDEOLOGY. They don't give a damn about reality, if they did they wouldn't be so blatantly out of touch with the rest of the American people.

Anything that impinges on that media cocoon threatens their aspirations of a 1950s era America.
