2. limbaugh and the talk radio monopoly are paul revere in reverse

most democracy -loving americans don't realize this guy is just the point man for a large scale propaganda machine that feeds talking points and one liners and framing to limbaugh and hannity and sons every morning and by the end of the day they've been pounded into the earholes of 50 MIL people to form a bandwagon of prechewed material the rest of the lazy celebrity corporate media is all too eager to swallow.

ignoring the talk radio monopoly's influence on politics the last 20 years may be the biggest political blunder in human history considering the time we have lost dealing with global warming while the reagan bush bunch used limbaugh and sons to sell us into this disaster.

hate speech or free speech, whatever, the radio monopoly, even now increasingly undercut by internet, makes real democracy impossible, enabling corrupt and ignorant politicians (and limbaugh/blue dog dems) with a fake, misinformed, easily roused 'constituencies' of dittoheads that turn red state magastations into a national network of political powerhouses.

there are no bigger political correctness cops and censors-by-threat than these local and national loudmouths who hide behind call screeners to protect them from real criticism and truth telling while claiming free speech privileges from their well protected monopoly (much of limbaugh's 600 station empire was subsidized for him, and in many cases his show is given away free).

real democracy and bipartisanship in america is impossible until the monopoly is broken up or americans start getting obama's back by calling complaining boycotting and picketing their LOCAL limbaugh/hannity stations and their local sponsors.

we wouldn't be in this mess if not for limbaugh and hannity and sons selling it to large areas of the country with no alternatives for politics and current events while working or driving- large areas with a disproportionate number of senators that will now lead the way obstructing obama and democracy.
