(590 posts)43. That's my experience, too...
although I see some relatively smart (or educated) people, e.g. doctors on down, who also subscribe to TB mentality. To put it mildly, they've been programmed and there's precious little rational media to say they're wrong. They don't seem to recognize the contradictions or consequences. That's where losing personalities like Stewart make a huge difference. Also, to be a RW hate spewer doesn't take a lot of brain work, kinda like we used to (in the music biz) chide musicians who went to CW because of the money. (that was nearly half a century ago, so don't take offense)
