I didn't listen to it but it sounds to me like he was just encouraging people to quit letting the media influence them so much.

What's sad is that a legion of dittoheads will take this advice without even realizing the irony behind it.

Was Rush pushing a particular candidate or asking for people to make up their own mind?

No irony at all if he wasn't pushing a particular candidate.

Saying "Don't vote for this candidate" is just as influencing as saying "Vote for this guy". I'm not quite sure who Rush is pulling for here, but I would have to guess Gingrich.

I was thinking it was more along the lines of why vote for these guys just because the media tells you to. If you have legitimate reasons for doing so - good for you...

I'd have to say the same. Profile fits the previous peopel he carried the water bucket for.

Rush has his zealot disciples. If you are a circus tent traveling evangelist or a talk-radio schlock jock you will appeal to the great unwashed. They need their belief systems spoon fed to them.


The bottomline: Learn to critically think for yourself!

Why is Moe sporting an icon that looks like he lost a bet for a game that didn't happen yet?


Both he and IMHO think they are putting the gris gris on the Saints.
