a politician speaks Truth to Morons. Freshman Democrat Alan Grayson from Orlando:
“Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we’d all need pain killers.â€
… and–a 2010 candidate quoted at Down With Tyranny:
“I think the newly elected junior senator from Minnesota said it best: Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot. It speaks volumes that Rush continues as the mouthpiece of the Republican Party, even as the party implodes into electoral insignificance in most parts of the country. It also reveals the true values of the GOP in that this convicted drug addict, serial racist, gay-bashing closet case, and insulter of our troops, continues to have such a messianic hold on the party rank-and-file. Screw Rush Limbaugh and the dittoheads he continues to ride in on.”
It’s about time Democratic politicans adopt this tone, rather than the inoffensive “Oh ha ha ha that Rush is quite the entertainer” crap that you heard so much during the mid-nineties. Occasionally someone will ask why I pay any attention to the right wing hate talkers, as if they will simply disappear if we ignore them. The answer is simple: they will not disappear if we ignore them. They spread hate and ignorance every day, and to whatever small extent I can counter that, I will.
