36. Truth, reason or logic has nothing to do with it. I used to listen to him, to see how bad it was.

I'd hear the callers, young guys mostly, call up and say with all the enthusiasm of the most zealot Paulbot,

'You are my Hero! You are my God!'

Rush never corrected any of them. Same kind of lapdogs call in to the Alex Jones show, a big supporter of Paul.

Cults don't listen to reason and filter out all opposing facts. I won't bother with my little quote about facts, but that's irrelevant to those who will be voting for Romney and against Obama for daring to cross the Reichwing. All they have is hate and abuse.

Other than that, how goes it Aerows? It's been a while since we met on a thread. Hope things are going good.
