Here's the thing about Rush, Coulter, Hannity, etc, for me
I practically never join in on threads about these slugs or the talking heads like Mika, because both individually and collectively, they're a bunch of boring idiots. I can't get outraged by their spew because they are fucking idiots. And with the exception of the biggest, fattest idiot, I don't think they're all that influential.

Now the corporate media as a whole, that's another story.

1. The people who listen to them are the hardcore 20% that still thinks
Bush was a good President. You will never be able to reach them with the truth. They prefer to let others do their thinking for them. I try to remind a co-worker of mine that Rush, Coulter, Hannity etc. are not news commentators but entertainers. They make their living from spewing garbage and they don't have to tell the truth.

2. Their danger
lies in their audience, who exist on diets of hate filled ignorance.

3. They are just noise. Their listeners are to lazy to get off their asses and vote.
They should be ridiculed at every opportunity.
