As opposed to the Republican boogyman, who is a wealthy and greedy corporatist businessman who doesn't care about the poor, yet is also an uneducated racist trailer trash redneck who clings to his guns and religion (somehow that makes sense).

Republican's #1 enemy = Liberal boogieman

Rightwing radio constantly talks about the "Liberal boogieman"
- He hates America
- Dreams of living in Europe
- Loves foreign dictators
- Doesn't work, lives from welfare and has a Phd degree from a Ivy League college (somehow that makes sense)
- Keeps on having kids to get more money from the government
- Has never owned an American flag but has a collection of Che Guevara shirts.
- Smokes marijuana
- Has some tongs sharpened up in case that his girlfriend gets pregnant
- Hates everybody that makes more than minimum wage
- There's a few more that I'm sure I forgot


AS STUPID AS THIS SOUND...

Rightwing radio talks about that "Liberal boogieman" every single day to prove that republicans are right.


And that's why they always talk about "Liberals" but never have the balls to have a debate on their show with a "Liberal".
There isn't a conservative boogeyman as well?

-Owns guns
-Owns more than five guns
-Secretly respects the KKK
-Hates all that science stuff
-Loves him some Jesus
-Listens to Limbaugh, Savage, and Hannity for political commentary
-Loves Ted Nugent
-Watches FOX News and thinks CNN is part of the worldwide liberal/Jewish conspiracy
-"Goddamn illegals!"

That description fits the control freaks of the religious right more than anyone else.

You're not? Huh...liberals talk as if they were, at the very least, from a different world.

(no offense intended, my brother is a liberal, and I love him dearly, regardless.)

This is just so much baloney.

I'm self employed. In my work, I get around and I meet a lot of people. Many are well educated conservatives. I have yet to meet one of them that does not listen to Rush (if not every day, as often as they can), and most watch Fox news.

Your assertion would leave one wondering why it is that Fox News Channel is making minced meat out of all their competition, time after time after time. Their numbers are way up there. The other can't even touch them.

This is a plain fact. It's also fact that Rush has listeners in the millions, and is still growing his audience.

If you've ever listened to Rush at all, you would realize the vast number of his listeners are educated business people, but he appeals to listeners from every walk of life.

This is because he makes sense. He proves daily that Americans are conservative.

Else, why don't any liberal talk shows garner the kind of audience that Rush, Hannity and Glenn Beck do? It's a no-brainer.
