1. AM radio listeners don't need no stinkin' logic

They believe that Mark Dayton narrowly won the Minnesota governorship because "all the illegal immigrants and people on welfare voted for him. People with jobs voted for Emmer." Yo, are 51% of the adults in Minnesota illegal immigrants or welfare recipients?

They also believe that government employees contribute nothing to the economy and just "mooch off the taxpayers." Do they really believe that government employees don't buy anything in the private sector? (Oh, there are government employees who have the option of buying only in government-owned stores: they're called "military personnel." But military personnel are automatically good in the right-wing mind, just as military spending somehow doesn't contribute to the deficit.)
