Anyone else noticed that hate radio is really freaking out

7. I think limbaugh only believes about 25% of the shit he spouts

He does it because he knows it gets the hicks all worked up and keeps his name in the spotlight. The fat druggie was a failed morning zoo type DJ who discovered a new schtick and is milking it for all its worth.

Beck? Another ex-DJ but more cynical than fat boy. I think he probably believes about 10% of what he says.

Coulter is even worse. I'm not certain she believes anything but she's learned how stay "relevant" by saying ever increasingly outrageous crap.

Hannity is a special case. Lacking the mental capacity to think for himself, he says whatever he's told to say and probably believes 100% of it, because they pay him big bucks to say it. His listeners are being just as cynically manipulated as limbaugh's, only the words are coming from Hannity's puppet masters rather than directly from him.

These propagandists have figured out that Americans are the most gullible and naive people on earth and a lot of money can be made by exploiting their fears and biases.
