Operation Chaos & The Listener Base: Ashe County Style

So--we're not the only ones in the High Country to note how Rush Limbaugh abuses the public airwaves for political and financial gain--from the Jefferson Post:
It is amazing to this newspaper that anyone still listens to Rush Limbaugh. The often drug-addicted self-proclaimed pillar of American morality is a guttersnipe, who pours his poison into the ears of all-too many Americans. A patriot? Limbaugh? Nonsense.
...
Limbaugh’s latest attempt to keep his ratings high is Operation Chaos, a deliberate attempt to disrupt our election system.
...
The tragic thing is that, apparently, some of his listeners are following his advice. Neglecting their duty as U.S. citizens, they are using the precious right to vote not to elect a candidate they support, but to disrupt and undermine our two-party system.

At his heart, Rush Limbaugh and those joining him in this unAmerican effort are fascists, not conservatives. They would prefer a one-party system, in which theirs was the only party.
...
Until we turn off these voices of division, whatever their politics, and start working together, we will not, as a nation, begin to solve our problems. As President Abraham Lincoln said, quoting the Bible, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” And our nation cannot stand for people like Limbaugh who hurt us all for their profit.
If you owned a business, would you want your ad playing during Rush's show? If listener sentiment has changed as much as is indicated by this editorial, you may just want to yank those ads...and find a show that doesn't stand for hatred to air your ads.

Democrats require a loyalty oath to vote, yet it's Rush who is the "fascist." Someone needs to read a book.

There is no "two-party system" in the United States, it is just that the two major parties conspire to stop the other political parties from gaining ballot access.

...and both Democrats and Republicans are pro-war; more than Greens and Libertarians are, for example.

there seems to be little difference between corporate democrats and republicans...how can anyone else even get elected?

Rush stands to lose a lot of money if the repubs lose...he's been carrying their water for a long time now. His ratings are tanking too.

Ok, now I'm scared. "Turn off these voices?" Should we censor Limbaugh? Wow. All I can say is.....wow.

Then you quote the Bible. I thought that was unconstitutional in a political discussion. Where do you get off preaching your religion to me?

Operation Chaos rolls on......

His ratings are so low, now they're only 50 times what Air America EVER had, instead of 100 times.

heh heh......

Randy Rhodes rules. After her unemployment runs out, she should take over for that hideous Goodman chick on Democracy Now.

Yeah, then Democrapy Now might have 300 people watching each week....that's like twice as many viewers as it does now!
