		<description>I have listen to Rush in the past and caught him lying so many times that I quit listening.  The problem is that my brother-in-law and I have a relationship that was friendly in the past but he now listens to Rush.  He has come up with some crazy ideas since listening.  Rush is being a wedge in the family.  It is like my b-i-l is a zombie and keeps returning  to the program. It&#039;s like Rush is giving him a daily anger fix.   The bad part is he is an intelligent person but is in bad company.</description>

		<description>@#4 (fletc3her): They don&#039;t &lt;em&gt;yet&lt;/em&gt; have the power to confiscate our 401(k)&#039;s.  But until a few years ago, eminent domain was limited to public projects until the Supreme(ly dumb) Court ruled against the Constitution and extended eminent domain to include seizure of private property for private projects.  Once the government gets a notion into its head, watch out: there go our freedoms.

@12 (kasinca): pot calling the kettle black, that.  After your poisonous invectives, you call his audience &quot;morons who hate&quot; - priceless.  Long live liberal hate - it&#039;s better than conservative hate.  Whatever.

@#18 (tom): ditto the above.  You did a good job being pathetic, bigotted, shallow, mean, insulting, and bombastic yourself just then.
 
@#14 (unbelievable): You missed the statistic that also correlates being &lt;em&gt;undereducated&lt;/em&gt; with being liberal. So, being under- &lt;em&gt;or&lt;/em&gt; over-educated tends to make one a whining lefty.  High school and college undergrads tend to lean right.  Perhaps it&#039;s because the overeducated can&#039;t bear to leave their lefitst universities and so pursue advanced degrees, and the undereducated don&#039;t know any better than to vote for the hand that feeds them.  Clearly, then, it&#039;s not how &quot;educated&quot; a person is, but how indoctrinated.

@#19 (barfly): Conservatives can&#039;t compete without total control of the mike?  Oh, yeah, let&#039;s hear it again for the underwhelming success of Air America. Yawn.

@#36 (unbelievable): wow. talk about mentally unstable...

@#85 (Game Of Life): &quot;The US just caught up with the rest of the world&quot; - riiiight. Europe has elected all those minority leaders.
 
@all: These posts are (generally) quite sad.  I&#039;ve not seen such collective ignorance and hatred since the Nazi&#039;s antisemitic propaganda films.  Sure, you all crow about &quot;tolerance&quot; and &quot;diversity&quot; - until someone disagrees with you, then it&#039;s all about &quot;shut them down&quot;.

You don&#039;t truly believe in free speech until you defend that right for someone with whom you disagree.

So - prove me wrong by respectfully welcoming a differing opinion, or flame me for that opinion and prove me right.  Your call.  Meanwhile, I&#039;ll be getting the fire hose.</description>

		<description>All the criminals in this country missed out on the easy bucks and it&#039;s legal too. All you have to do is throw together some right wing talking points - they don&#039;t have to be true - and start ranting about those liberals and just like that wing nut station will pick you up and you&#039;ve got it made.

And you too can sit your fat ass in a chair all day and make millions while ranting to your brain dead audience about how you&#039;re going to shut down all the government programs and make America a better place. Of course you won&#039;t have to worry about money because you&#039;ve got your millions, unlike your faithful audience.</description>

		<description>Turn him off. Make him irrelevant. I yrge you to stop quoting these rightwing moderators and thereby hal;ve their readership: &lt;em&gt;I only EVER read this crap when I visit progressive sites.&lt;/em&gt; 

I would be very happy if you all would just drop this &quot;we need to know what they&#039;re saying&quot; line since the campaign is over. They are powerless.

They are trying to hold their &quot;pundit&#039; credentials and fire up their &#039;rump&#039; but that&#039;s no reason we need to give credence to these &#039;entertainers&#039; posing as American political geniuses.

Shut them down. IGNORE THEM.</description>

		<description>&quot;In any case, the government doesn’t really have the power to &#039;take&#039; everyone’s 401-k. Those are just bank and brokerage accounts which have a special tax status. You might as well say the government is going to steal everybody’s checking account while you’re at it.&quot; (fletc3her, comment 3 above).

Stealing everybody&#039;s checking accounts is exactly what former Sen. Phil Gramm set in motion in the late 1990s when he inserted a provision in a massive appropriations bill that tore down the Depression-era law that kept banks and investment firms separate, with &quot;investment banks&quot; being the result.

Thus, gamblers running investment firms this decade could use funds in a bank&#039;s checking accounts as &quot;collateral&quot; for their shaky/get-rich-quick investment gambles...with the recent mortgage/Wall Street/home-lending meltdown being the result.

401(k) and IRA retirement plans, pushed by and enacted into law by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, were the first Republican &quot;privatization schemes&quot; involving retirement, as the culture of corruption and greed Republicans sought to whittle away at Depression-era fixed pension plans.

We have all now seen what happens when retirement funds are tied to the performance of the stock market:

Senior citizens losing tens of thousands of dollars of their 401(k) retirement. Banks holding IRA&#039;s on shaky financial ground, requiring a taxpayer-funded, let-future-generations-pay bailout. And Fortune 500 companies deciding to not honor their &quot;fixed pensions plans&quot; because of their stock being devalued to almost junk bond status.

And the driven-insane-by-greed Republicans want to complete the destruction of the middle-class, unions and &quot;fixed pension plans&quot; by privatizing Social Security, turning it into another Wall Street gamble...with no assurances that future retirees will not experience what present retirees are enduring, with their retirement &quot;nest eggs&quot; evaporating right before their eyes.

Heckuva job, Republicans. Now go find some other country to ruin. Go find some other senior citizens to destroy. Oh right, look what their incipient insanity has done to Iraq. Why haven&#039;t many Republicans been consigned to a padded cell somewhere by now? Not only have they endangered the twilight years of our nation&#039;s hard-working senior citizens, but they&#039;ve endangered the collective economic future of their own children. Crazy is as crazy does.</description>

<p>Thus, gamblers running investment firms this decade could use funds in a bank&#8217;s checking accounts as &#8220;collateral&#8221; for their shaky/get-rich-quick investment gambles&#8230;with the recent mortgage/Wall Street/home-lending meltdown being the result.</p>
<p>401(k) and IRA retirement plans, pushed by and enacted into law by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, were the first Republican &#8220;privatization schemes&#8221; involving retirement, as the culture of corruption and greed Republicans sought to whittle away at Depression-era fixed pension plans.</p>
<p>We have all now seen what happens when retirement funds are tied to the performance of the stock market:</p>
<p>Senior citizens losing tens of thousands of dollars of their 401(k) retirement. Banks holding IRA&#8217;s on shaky financial ground, requiring a taxpayer-funded, let-future-generations-pay bailout. And Fortune 500 companies deciding to not honor their &#8220;fixed pensions plans&#8221; because of their stock being devalued to almost junk bond status.</p>
<p>And the driven-insane-by-greed Republicans want to complete the destruction of the middle-class, unions and &#8220;fixed pension plans&#8221; by privatizing Social Security, turning it into another Wall Street gamble&#8230;with no assurances that future retirees will not experience what present retirees are enduring, with their retirement &#8220;nest eggs&#8221; evaporating right before their eyes.</p>
<p>Heckuva job, Republicans. Now go find some other country to ruin. Go find some other senior citizens to destroy. Oh right, look what their incipient insanity has done to Iraq. Why haven&#8217;t many Republicans been consigned to a padded cell somewhere by now? Not only have they endangered the twilight years of our nation&#8217;s hard-working senior citizens, but they&#8217;ve endangered the collective economic future of their own children. Crazy is as crazy does.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5334000', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>While we help the US and the world to be a better place under President Obama&#039;s administration, their type will be useless.

Their overt racism will be marked with a big fat boycott. They will lose ad money faster than a speeding bullet and their ditto audiences will be insignificant.

They don&#039;t get it. The US just caught up with the rest of the world. It&#039;s a different world. 
I&#039;m still amazingly happy and proud for the US.  

Their nastiness, lies, racism, immaturity etc, isn&#039;t a proud trait to have any longer. It doesn&#039;t work. 

Repugs are embarrassing.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Unfortunately, this is just a fraction of the endless lies and distortions Limbaugh spews on a daily basis.  He is truly a sad and pathetic person, but he also has millions of misguided listeners and is paid hundreds of millions of dollars, which gives him enormous power.

He will retain this power until he leaves this earth.  The only way we can even attempt to muzzle him is to immediately react and respond to his mendacity.

And, obviously, that goes &quot;DITTO&quot; for Hannity, O&#039;Reilly, Coulter, Ingraham, Beck, Savage, et al.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
