Classic conservative tactic there. We don’t support Democrats that bash women all the time, but if you say we do, then it makes sense for you that we’re hypocrites.

Truth is most Dems rail against Dems or Reps that bash women, but you just don’t want to see it. It’s Republicans who support Reps and condemn Dems for doing the same things. Rep cheats on his wife? Reps say it’s between him and his wife. Dems condemn him. Dem cheats on his wife? Reps and Dems condemn him.

That’s why Republicans say “DEMOCRATS EAT THEIR OWN”, because we do and Reps don’t. It’s a well-used Republican phrase. You think all those Republicans are wrong? They’re not.

Republicans can speak freely all they want. And they do. Nobody’s freaking stopping them. But when anyone, Rep or Dem has their speech so filled with hate, they can still speak freely, but it should be OFF the airwaves.

The public airwaves are supposed to be for things that benefit the public. He does not. He twists and lies.

The whole world knows very well that Republicans are the hypocrites and their policies are poison. It’s only in this country where so many people are so clueless about the big picture, that Republicans can seem legitimate. The majority is not always right, but when the entire world thinks you’ve been duped and you think the entire world has been duped, you might want to seriously reconsider who’s right.

Bleeding heart liberals are so upset because our hearts are bleeding.

I have listened to him. Much of what he says makes good sense if you don’t dig too deep.

Why liberals hate him so much is because his world view [where blacks are lazy and immigrants want
our jobs and poor people feel entitled to handouts] doesn’t match a liberal world view, and doesn’t match the facts.

His world-view matches SOME of the facts but not MOST of the facts, but you’d have to go look up a bunch of things, each with multiple, reliable sources to discover that, and doing that is a lot of work.

The facts are that MOST
blacks are hard-working, but you won’t hear Rush talking about most
blacks being hard-working except as a preamble to talking about lazy blacks looking for entitlements.

Most immigrants are here, even
illegal immigrants, because our companies tell them they’re wanted here,
they advertise at the border on THEIR side of the border, then they pay
them less than minimum wage to work the jobs we don’t want. They’re
simply not taking the good jobs, not even the half-decent jobs. But you’ll only hear Rush talking about immigrants taking our jobs, not about what DRIVES THEM TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, our companies inviting them in.

MOST of the poor aren’t looking for handouts. The poor are mostly
trying desperately to be self-sufficient because it hurts their pride
to take a handout. It’s embarrassing as heck to go down to that office and have the social worker treat you like a sack of poo. So most people use up their last dollar and borrow some from family before they put themselves through that. Most people on welfare ARE EMPLOYED, but their employers won’t give them enough hours or pay to make ends meet. They WANT more hours but the work isn’t there to be had. Doesn’t sound so lazy then. That’s what the facts say, that most people getting a handout want to work MORE, not lazy bums.

But you won’t hear Rush talking about MOST of the
poor being hard-working, only about SOME of the poor who feel entitled. It’s true. Look it up. Most poor people are hard-working and want to avoid handouts, and they do avoid handouts, until they’ve been told no at their zillionth job interview, and their 20 hour/wk job just isn’t paying the bills, and when there’s nothing they can do and their savings is gone, then their relatives aren’t doing well either, then they take the handout and keep looking for work that isn’t there.

How can you complain about immigrants taking our jobs AND about poor people not having jobs? If the lack of jobs is the immigrant’s fault, then the poor non-immigrants aren’t just lazy, the job was taken from them, right? And if the poor people could have jobs but are too lazy, then taking the vacant job isn’t a fault of the immigrant, right? So which is it? The numbers tell the truth. Immigrants are taking some of the jobs, but very few. With or without immigrants, the overwhelming majority of the problem persists that there just aren’t nearly enough jobs. The truth in facts is that immigrants aren’t the problem and poor people aren’t the problem. Companies are the problem, lobbying to get laws ripe for sending jobs overseas.

This is a resource-rich country, with a ton of wealth, but the income gap is among the worst of industrialized nations. In other words the rich are very rich and the poor are very poor here, relative to each other. Blaming immigrants or the poor is just naming scapegoats.

Who is he trying to help and lift up? The poor? Women? Blacks? With
tough love? Bull. There’s no love there at all, only derision, mocking, hatred. Yes, I have seen it. You can
see it in his facial expressions. It’s not subtle, but you don’t see it.

What hurts the most for liberals is that we have to choose between
thinking almost half the country can’t see what’s right in front of them, and if they only knew what kind of a guy this is… and thinking that half of the country ignores what kind of a guy this is because they can and do feel what he’s all about, and they like it.

It makes you feel good when he talks about lazy poor people and people who feel entitled to government handouts. There are SOME people like that. You’ve probably met some. When he bashes them for being that way, you feel superior to them and it feels good.

…until you become poor and you’re not lazy. But still the parts about people looking for handouts makes you feel good… until you use up the rest of your savings and your family, friends, and neighbors won’t help you anymore. Then neither of those things he talks about feels good anymore.
