fuh2 wrote: Given the Bush economic meltdown last fall I find it amazing the GOP was able to get nearly half the vote. They got most of the middle class white vote too. THAT is proof of the Corporate media's immense power. They were able to spread toxic rightwing propaganda like the big banks were spreading toxic assets around the world.
Thom Hartmann, Progressive radio talk jock, would agree with you partially. He says he beats Rush in many big cities. BUT his total audience is very small compared to Rush's because most cities dont have a Progressive radio station at all. Boston and NYC for instance. Neither has ONE left wing radio station! Thom says that often progressive stations are very weak signal stations too.
A weak message and weak radio signal go hand-in-hand, if you're not getting the message to the people, what are you?! I don't listen to Rush, I don't listen to Thom, I don't listen to AirAmerica but what little I do hear from the left-wing media doesn't capture my imangination or attention at all. It comes across as whiney, paranoid, and frankly...hateful. More whiney, paranoid, and hateful than any right-wing message I've heard yet. And one thing for sure: While toxic right-wing propaganda and toxic assets were getting spread around the world I never heard, not once, a cry from the left/democratic structure that the sky was falling. It was only after the financial pendulum swung in the other direction that anyone cried "foul" and started pointing fingers, that much is written in history. Hopefully we'll all learn from this epoch in time and find a nice middle point to work from to sort out the future..

Yup... you are so correct again... what they lack in majority, they make up for in money...
edit— it is so ironic that it was Lincoln who said, "You can't fool all the people all the time..."
Lincoln was one of the first Republicans, but VERY Progressive. The GOP has changed a lot in 150 years. They became intimate with big busness in about the 1870's.

Yeah, you are completely correct... Lincoln represented the north, the Democrats represented the Confederacy... now, it is completely reversed... the Republican stronghold is in the South... they don't carry any of the northern states that Lincoln did... the Republicans use absurd wedge issues about social subjects that don't have anything to do with money to divide people these days... things like abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, etc... then they loot the national treasury... just look at Halliburton— Cheney took 72 of the headquarters to the Bahamas while he was CEO in the 1990s to avoid paying U.S. taxes, and now Halliburton has gotten filthy rich in Iraq... so Halliburton is paid with U.S. taxes, and they don't pay U.S. taxes... it is pure genius... but now the middle class cannot afford the luxury of voting on social issues like Clinton's infidelity... the middle class is broke, and now they are voting about the money, and the Republicans are doomed to be a minor party for a very long time, just like they were for a long time after the Great Depression... but they are very entertaining on TV these days, now that they are harmless...

For instance, since Lincoln, name ONE thing the Republicans have done for the middle class? You cant!
They do NOT want you to know this but they have been AGAINST every social advance of the middle class, like Social security, minimum wages (they were actually for a MAXIMUM wage for workers), 40 hour work week, paid vacation, Medicare, Medicaid, GI Bill for education, Civil Rights, womens vote and right to choose, and much, much more. Their only true loyalty is and always has been the very rich and giant corporations.

So you're not only okay with having a thread titled RightWingNutZ, but you actively want to post to it.
Uh huh. So much for lowering the rancor here.
I guess its only fair then if a few new threads are created devoted to highlighting LeftWingNutZ.
After all, that would be the fair and balanced thing to do.
Maybe I'll address that oversight after I get back from another fine evening of live music. Have fun with your hatred folks.
Why not just start the "I Hate Everyone Who Isn't Me" thread?
