multiple executions gets cheers

people dying in comas as they are destitute gets cheers

poor people are poor because they want to be gets cheers

a gay combat vet who to serve his country gets boos

1. Isn't that being prejudiced against the hyena? It's insulting to call him a Republican.

Even hyenas take care of their offspring and they never cheer anything.

2. Used to be, they hijacked Bingo busses for the audience, today it's the WWE base

3. "today it's the WWE base"

that might be but from what I have seen the audiences are made up of people who for the most part
are older, white, and listen to hate radio & fox 24/7. Late last Sunday night I had to drive back from the
Akron area to Columbus, OH and I listened to a hate talker called Bill Cunningham spew the right wing's
talking points and even though those points were wrong I see in the reactions from the Republican debates'
audiences that they really are ready for "the raw meat" to be thrown to them.

Rush and Fox are effective because they tell their audience what they want to hear and what they already
"know to be true," so when Cain says some kind horse shit that the poor are poor because they want to
be poor it is like feeding time @ the gator farm.
