You're right, i do listen to it everyday, i can't help myself. There was a dude on last week blaming the Africans for slavery and blamed JayZ for everything else. It just sounds so stupid i can't believe anyone with a brain could get into it without approaching it like a comedy act.
But the listeners are the same people who were listening 25 year ago. My stepdad started when Rush first got started and he's been dead for years. Suicide. I really do sort of blame talk Radio and the OJ trial a bit. It drove him mad.
Those people are in their seventies now and with voter ID the republicans are thinning their own herd while they thin ours and we have more voters turning 18 every day so the pendulum has swung left and the nation is playing catch up. Next presidential election will be the one where republicans show fear and start scrambling for fresh voters. It wont work because they hate everybody that does not look like them. We may have lost twenty years to their bullshit, but they lost the future with their hate and xenophobia. The Tea party dug their grave.
