If I hear one more person left of center come on a show and say that again, I'm gonna puke. He's neither. He's a provocateur and a purveyor of hatred. Period. A pariah. And he should be treated as such.

6. Shrine of the Little Flower on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, MI.
Know it well. Coughlin was an early Limbaugh, no question about it.

7. Like David Frum, a Canadian.From St. Kits. He graduated from St. Mike's at U Toronto.
Funny, U of T didn't mention him much in their anniversary celebrations...

9. Actually, from what I've read about Coughlin...
...he started out as a left-wing populist, then moved far to the right after his own political aspirations to elected office proved unsuccessful.

2. when they say he is an entertainer it is not really a compliment
it means he is not to be taken seriously. I have yet to hear any leftie call him a "nice guy"...if I do I will vote with the remote immediately.

4. yeah
I saw the end of Hardball with Margaret Carlson and Chris Matthews (though, it really doesn't surprise me) talking about what a great communicator he is, how many followers he has, etc. Um, Charles Manson was charismatic too. Just because someone makes money, is that really the only measure of how we can judge them? Considering the amount of time we spend on Rev Wright and the hand wringing over that relative nontroversy, I'm sick of Rush getting away with saying really hateful things....if he is such a great communicator, how come he isn't able to discuss politics without making really weird remarks about minorities and women? Oh, but then he's just an "entertainer"...

5. Who is saying nice things about pigboy? I haven't seen it. He's deeply, deeply disturbed.
I share the same birth year with the fraud, and so we grew up and went through many of the same experiences, from Sputnik to JFK to 1968 to Nixon resigning, etc. Even the same music.

Mr. Pilodinal Cyst is a deeply disturbed "human being" with resentments and fears we can only imagine. The classic bully, too, who wets his pants when challenged. I for one would pay good money if his three ex-wives would only collaborate on a book about him.

Never happen, though, because he is undoubtedly paying them millions.
