With the recent Limbaugh news, has anyone seen "The Brainwashing of my Dad"? [View all]

It’s an excellent documentary on YouTube that details the impact Rush Limbaugh has had on the Boomer generation. It’s filmed by a daughter watching her dad change as a person the more he listens to Limbaugh and watch Fox News, then how he changes back into the loving father he used to be once they cut Fox and Rush out of his life.

I’d highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it.

Mine too. Limbaugh twisted conservatism into abject hatred of Dems. Demonization and derision. JudyM Feb 2020 #13
