I really shouldn’t feed the Rushtroll
but the fact that he has so much influence makes this all the more baffling.
Andrew Sullivan posts an exchange from Rush’s show where you can see how crazy he’s gotten. Look, I remember hearing the guy at a friends house pretty regularly as a kid, and he’s always been crazy. But, you know, it was a mild kind of crazy – or at least that’s all my young mind could pick up on.
This shit is real crazy son. Subtle crazy, but still crazy.
I don’t see how he can have any pretense at being any kind of serious commentator, or even a serious Republican…but maybe he’s ok with that. Maybe he’s incredibly self aware and the entire thing is an act almost beyond the bounds of Colbert to satirize.
Comment #1 on the root link:
So this guy is NOT a republican because he doesn’t want the US to torture people? OK Rush. Once again, proving to the world, you’re an idiot.
I think it should be obvious by now…but people still adore the guy. Is it just because they are angry? Are they clinging to whatever presents itself? I mean, there’s always going to be that fringe, but the Right fringe is getting BIG. Is it bigger than the Right itself these days?
Sounds like a good argument for a 3rd political party finally…Dems/Reps/Trolls ftw.
