Sigh, I wish I was a RW Republican!!

[Beer Snob-50]

I tend to listen to all different points of view on many subjects, hence my (sometimes frustrating) listening to that blowhard Sean Hannity yesterday. Listening to some callers, a common thread has been their proud proclamation that they do not listen to or read any news sources except faux news and their ilk (rush, sean, ollie north). It is no wonder that the republican party can keep these people in the dark like they are. All their news is force fed to them! I sometimes wish I could be a sheeple like that, I would probably be a lot happier. No stress from stupid things like the truth.

1. Nothing new there.

Ignorance is bliss. :)

2. No you don't.

A man woke up on a bench... he had no idea who he was, or any memories at all, really. No identification or anything either... the only thing he had was a small lamp in his hand. Instinctively, the man rubbed the lamp, and out popped a genie.

"You have one wish, master."

"I wish to know who I am," replied the man quickly.

"Funny," the genie laughed, as he disappeared. "That was your first wish."

3. Ignorance IS bliss...

4. True

You'd have a sense of warmth and security knowing the tough guys in the administration are keeping you safe and secure. You'd have the proud feeling of knowing your country only does what's right and good in the world and makes no mistakes. You'd have the satisfaction of knowing that in a world of "us" and "them," we are righteous, freedom-loving people doing God's work and everybody else is a terrorist.

Of course you'd be wrong, but you wouldn't give that a thought.

5. exactly!!

It is frustrating knowing the truth! One women yesterday was saying how she doesn't watch the news because hannity keeps saying how the news networks only tell about the fighting and the deaths and how bad things are, but on faux, they tell about the brave soliders and the feel good stories. I want to slap this stepford wife and tell her to think for her f**king self.

7. Was it Barbara Bush?

You know, the woman who doesn't want to trouble her "beautiful mind?"

6. Hannity is the absolute worst.

I'd rather listen to five hours of Limbaugh than one hour of Hannity, and I don't say that lightly. Hannity is a blowhard who is out of his league, and if he were paired up against someone who would fight on H&C, he'd be exposed for the mindless, uneducated asshole he is.

8. I'll stab myself with a spoon before i listen to an hour of either (nt)

[Commendatori]

9. Same here, but I hope you know what I meant (n/t)

10. I do, don't worry

I just felt like saying that "for the record"

Couldn't resist... =D

13. I think it is scary

at work every day there are a bunch of white men crowded around Fox News on TV in the lunchroom. On the rare occasion I actually can EAT lunch I get there first and make sure the station is on anything but Fox - these guys look visibly upset. I think it may be a cult of ignorance.

15. It is!

They throw feel good news, patriotism, and the flag at you constantly and say blantly bad things about their opposition and slowly your brain starts leaking from your ears.

14. Make sure to drink kool-aid while listening.

They're a bunch of Zombies running to the cliff and don't even know it.

16. Stupidity has a certain charm ...

Ignorance does not. - Frank Zappa (poorly paraphrased I'm sure)

AWOL has plenty of both, which is why half the country loves him, and the other half loathes him.

Everything is fine all the time and they get to eat as much movie popcorn as they want along with their kool-aid.
The economy is booming!
Everything is going well in Iraq!

The pResident is infallible!
