29. Absolutely - Rush Limbaugh and the other haters

Mon Jun 12, 2017, 10:49 AM

I have a lot of respect for Jimmy Carter, but I don't believe he has ever tuned into conservative talk radio shows. If he had he'd be more aware of this groundswell of hate & misinformation that's been going around for the last 30+ years.

Rush Limbaugh has become a multi-millionaire, but where does he get his dough? I'm sure it's coming from the Koch Brothers, the Scaife Foundation and other extremely wealthy bigots who are working this angle. Your suggestion of boycotting is very good but you're preaching to the choir.

How to get the word out to people who aren't on DU?
