6. Cover reads as follows....
ENOUGH!

A conservative's case against Limbaugh
----by David Frum


Of course, I just like seeing this blow hard racist fuck with a sticker over his double chin that says ENOUGH!

10. I'd like to see them move away from the far right. I really would.
But I can almost certainly guarantee that Mr. Frum was before and will be kissing Limbaugh's ass again in no time flat.

14. A conservative's case against Limbaugh
The article is by David Frum. The operative paragraph is this one:

"In the days since I stumbled into this controversy, I've received a great deal of e-mail. (Most of it on days when Levin or Hannity or Hugh Hewitt or Limbaugh himself has had something especially disobliging to say about me.) Most of these e-mails say some version of the same thing: if you don't agree with Rush, quit calling yourself a conservative and get out of the Republican Party. There's the perfect culmination of the outlook Rush Limbaugh has taught his fans and followers: we want to transform the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan into a party of unanimous dittoheads—and we don't care how much the party has to shrink to do it. That's not the language of politics. It's the language of a cult."

http://www.newsweek.com/id/188279\

I'm sure most of us have a collective "Well, DUH!" to that one.

34. Well spoken Warpy......
Well spoken. We need at least a 2 party system to place further checks in the system.

We have not had a healthy 2 party system since Eisenhower, maybe Kennedy. This cult of personality needs to go-it is not the sign of a healthy party or system and dare I say it-I mean including Barack Obama. Talent and ideas need to be continually cultivated. Congress needs to think of the country first, local needs next, and reelection last.

17. I just read that article at the dentist's office....
Appropriately enough...

The gist of the article being that the conservatives are making a huge mistake following Rush Limbaugh. More of a cult than anything else.

25. Do you really believe that powerful interests, and their propaganda distro outlets...
...actually care about what the public wants?

They don't. They're in the business of shaping and guiding public opinion, not reflecting it.

For the Rush Brigade this is just more proof that the media is liberal and is out to get anyone who isn't.

41. Tiny, cold, hateful, soulless piggy eyes
my neighbor is a journalist for a British news agency and he covers both the Democratic and repug conventions. He says that after so many years on that beat he can peg a repug just by looking at their eyes. He says "it's like looking at a flat, featureless wall. NOTHING gets in there. They've made up their mind long ago and facts will never change it". You can see that very phenomenon just by looking at that photo.
