As a conservative (who is NOT a fan of Rush Limbaugh) I must acknowledge that yes indeed it started with Bush and before November of 2008. Though, I must admit, I dont agree with how Obama or Congress has chosen to handle the economy up to this point.

Which is perfectly fine. I don't think that we as a country have to agree with everything our elected officials do. I am offended, however, by some of these awful pundits and talking heads attacking our President as unAmerican. It's hateful. Disagree with his politics, but don't impugn his patriotism or intent.

Speaking of unAmerican did you see that facebook group a few months ago wishing the death of President Obama? As you said, it is one's right to not like or disagree with any sitting president, but to wish their death? I'm sorry I find that to be VERY unAmerican!

I totally agree. I did see it. I have lots of friends who send me emails and links to things that I find very questionable. 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!

So THIS is where my father is getting his opinions. Every day I speak with him, it's a new conspiracy theory.

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...

Mine too...but I knew where he got it from since he's listened to Rush since he started broadcasting.

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