4. Watched for 3 minutes
He is a screaming idiot.

He used his middle finger on his right hand to point to himself.

many stutters, smirks, ahs, and shoulder shrugs

he clearly hates to talk to the press

"Kim Jung Il and I can never have personal relationship."

6. The Filthy Five, unprecedented corporate power and money . . ..
. . . and about 50-60 million or so people that share the same brain who deserve to wear that shirt along with him.

There it is.

7. NO, it starts with less than HALF of the registered voters actually VOTING.
Voting Days should be PAID HOLIDAYS, and Non-Voters should be taxed at a higher rate for not participating in the government.

14. Who needs a party guy standing on the corner in podunk when you can have a gasbag on the radio?

Telling people how smart they are for agreeing with him and how dumb the opposition thinks they are.

I worked a while in rural Ohio and did a lot of traveling from one place to another. RW AM radio, country music, and religion are the only stations that come in there. I used to eat it up. Then I actually traveled and saw how they are pushing nationalism and corporatism to people who are strongly instructed to ignore any opposing voices as "unpatriotic", "unmanly", and quintisentially "naive"...and that even neutered mainstream corporate media is "slanted to the left." It is presented as "news that better informs you" when it is nothing but propaganda. There was and is no opposing voice to it.

When I heard about the military incorporating it into their radio programming I knew it was officially FUBAR.

17. yes what he troops there are hearing on the radio has an effect on what they think
themselves living through hell and with the likes of rush limballs telling them what is really going on there. What a sham this all is. The poor Iraqi caught up in all this bush madness is who I feel for. We Americans should know better than to allow this to happen to begin with and especially to allow it to continue.

12. Because BushInc was let off hook for its crimes of office throughout the 90s instead of
getting the further scrutiny and accountability requested in the massive BCCI report.

That report was handed to Bill Clinton who spent the 90s siding with Poppy Bush and cronies like Jackson Stephens and protected their secrecy and privilege over the American citizens' right to open government accountable to the people.
