Why not?

Quote of the day for me.

I got a call from my mother yesterday and she was shocked that her sister (my aunt) was going on and on about all sorts of talking points about being against the health reform bills, anti-Obama, anti-this and anti-that. The words sounded to me just like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh...then I remembered, my aunt lives by Fox and those clowns. She was spewing all sorts of bigoted comments too (my aunt, NOT my mom).

Sheesh, these guys are the worst of the worst, the scum of society, race-baters and all. I'm all for Free Speech, but these guys should be squelched.

Nah, in the long run they're good for America. Really. People are learning. Getting very savvy to rhetoric and disinformation. In large part thanks to these guys. Watch over the next, oh, maybe ten years or so. Their audience will get smaller and smaller as more and more people catch on.

Hmmm, the audience seems to be growing guys, by leaps and bounds. It's the liberal rags, books, and shows that are scratching. Remember fellas, just because you don't like the truth, that doesn't make it less true.

And yet, somehow, we elected a Democrat for President and gave them both houses of Congress. Give it time. I'm talking on a scale of decades. People saw through it. Sure, now that the Dems are in control there will be a swing in the other direction. There always is. But it's short lived.

Funny thing about progress. It just keeps progressing.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

It was the Democrats year. By the way, "The only thing constant is change."...Aristotle.

Yeah, I watch them for laughs, just like the comedy channel. I'll bet you "dollars to donuts" that's why their audience is growing, people just want to see the whackos from Faux News will come up with next, I know that's why I watch them. Did anyone catch the Glen Beck parody on Saturday Night Live the other night? Obama/Aroma LOL!!!

I dunno. They may be up. They may be down. Don't follow them myself.

If you want to see something really interesting, find how many people actually watch one of these shows. Then compare it to a big broadcast show. CSI or Dancing with the Stars. As much as we go on about these guys, the numbers aren't as impressive as they'd have you believe.

Yeah, that's because the truth isn't as good as some of the stuff thay come up with on Faux & Limbo. The Dems/Libs don't make me laugh like Billbo, Hannity, Beck & Limburger. Those fricken conspiracy theories and scare tactics from those right-wing, nut-bags, now "that's" entertainment!

"YOU LIE"
