Seriously just keep snopes and the political fact check sites as a bookmark. Saves SO much time.

my husband is the SAME way. He listens to Rush religiously, and takes everything from FoxNews as golden. He's just about learned to not bug me with Rush talk....

I'm conservative, but I've found that there a certain things (gay rights, for example) that I have a liberal stance on...

It's weird how quickly people can lose their moral compasses when they get whipped up by morons like Rush. I think that people also lose a hold on reality. I can respect other peoples' opinions because in the end, none of us really knows what is going to work. We can guess, we can look back to past recessions, we can surmise, but none of us have a crystal ball. Our opinions could be wrong, and the other side could be completely right. It's pretty hard to come back from death threats when you have egg on your face!

This!

And we WANT our 40 acres and a mule still. No black person is going to purposely tank the economy! :p:rolleyes:

^^^ I agree. With black people disproportionately affected by poverty, this argument falls flat. Why do people even invent things like this to say? Who is logical that sits around and agrees with this? It's enough to make a Vulcan's head explode.

Nm....the people who keep him on the air. I don't even think HE believes himself. I think he just likes money and panders to bigots for his supper. He's the same guy who paid Elton John to sing at his wedding and Elton is the same guy who showed up and did it. C.R.E.A.M.

I'm sure not only does he not believe it, I bet he KNOWS it's not true! It's not possible for any political pundit to think that the recession started after Obama took office. It's just not possible for anyone with any kind of education to think that unless they were on drugs for the last few years, have dementia, or have never read any news source. No matter what political beliefs you hold... it's just utter fabrication of recent history/current events.
He should be taken off the radio NOT because of what he says, but because of the impact he has on his listeners. His listeners who believe the absolute lies and conspiracies that he comes up with and those listeners then base their votes off those lies... It boggles my mind how irresponsible it is to knowingly exploit the trust his listeners give him.

He and Glenn Beck are an insult to journalism.
