Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Hannity, Savage, O'Reiley.. etc are worse than racists

[Peacetrain]

These public commentators are who are using race flame bait to build a following and feed their coffers. They pretend to be "news people" or even just commentators on the political outlay of the day.

When in reality, they are nothing more than 2-bit celebrities making a buck by exploiting racial tensions with lies and innuendo.

They use half truths to paint a lie to people who are already so wanting to believe the lie.

They are fully the equivalent to the media manipulators of Hitler, Pol Pot, any fringe political entity that tries to gain power, by abuse and fear of whole groups of people.

Make no mistake.

They appeal to that base instinct in humans that those who hold ideas, culture, race, that is different than their own are a "danger" to their way of life.

And they do it for the almighty dollar.

They are racist but so much worse.

1. They are a verbal lynch mob...despicable...nt

[Solomon]

2. I agree except that they tell whole lies, not half lies.

And they just make shit up.

3. They're smart enough to know what the truth is,

but the lies they spread better suit their political needs. They know they do harm to America - that's their intent.

[Peacetrain]

4. I know it is their intent..and if there was ever a cause to reunite the rifts in our party

it is to not let these people win. To expose them for what they are at every turn. What is growing under that rock of right wing talk radio, and TV, is horrific.

5. Those "commentators" incite.

They have no interest in commenting on the day's events, but are dedicated to driving down Obama's popularity and support...hoping, in the process, someone will do something stupid and take care of their object of contempt.

They have their talking points down pat.
