Born the day Rush Limbaugh mid-wifed Newt Gingrich's Contract For (On) America, RWTRR lived a healthy and wealthy life duping a great portion of the America public into voting against their own best interests.
Right wing talk grew larger and louder over its lifetime, adding names like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Dennis Prager and many more imitators. They each spent three hours a day catchphrasing words and thoughts - no matter how rickety their evidence (if any) - that the mainstream media would give equal time and space along side the truth.
All of a sudden, the truth was only worth 50% of any issue.
Enabled by a gullible mainstream media hoping to hitch itself to the growing Lords of Loud audience, the Rove-inspired red-herrings were greased up even more by talk radio's band of Professor Harold Hills and shoved charmingly down America's throat. And, as with all great con men, these snake oil salesmen sold hole-cloth, betraying the public trust and making fistfuls of dollars doing it.
To be fair, they had to. It's was a Catch-22. If they had trusted their audience with the truth, they'd have no audience.
But November's election and the ISG report finally drained life-giving oxygen from a lying heart. Not only did the public begin to understand they were being duped, but even the FOBIJB (Friends of Bush including James Baker) could no longer ignore the tide. Of course there will continue to be FOBIL (Friends of Bush Including Lieberman), but they will sustain escalating losses, just as the LOL are losing audience in droves.
But the one-two punch of November's mid-terms compounded by the Iraq Study Group's revelations, knocked a terminal hole in any credibility right wing talk may have had left.
Limbaugh admitted he was shilling for Republicans who didn't deserve to be elected, then attempted to hush the death knell rung by the ISG by recasting it, oh so hysterically, as the Iraq Surrender Group. Get it? He changed one of the words. Second-rate comics who are dying on stage always go for the insipidly obvious and as with the comics, it never gets the audience back.
Hannity has gone off the deep end calling everyone else but himself wrong. He persists on telling liberal callers that we found WMD even though Bush doesn't seem to have gotten the same intelligence Sean has while Curt Weldon and Rick Santorum were voted out of office whipping the same dead horse.
Beck asks an American Congressman to prove he's not working for the enemy.
Prager believes the same Congressman holding his bible will bring down American civilization.
O'Reilly can't drum up many recruits to fight this year's War Against Christmas, and how many times can you hear "look at me" with out re-tasting last night's dinner?
And Savage...? Well, just "Savage."
Oh, they'll keep some listeners, but they'll be talking to a choir who doesn't care that they're hearing to a bunch of cloutless charlatans who never had the balls to serve our country but have no problem sending other families into life-changing horror; fans who don't care their heros had it wrong, and had it wrong over and over. And when it came to the war...dead wrong.
Now any relevance these cascading Lords of Loud might once have had, if not dead, is on life support. And if there are some in the legitimate media who still choose to give these mongrels of misrepresentation any time, space or air, they do it at the risk of their own relevance.
Right-wing talk show relevance was never married but leaves behind soon to irrelevant offspring: Dick Morris, Bernie Goldberg, Tom DeLay, Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, David Limbaugh, Bill Kristol, Michelle Malkin, General Tommy Franks, Oliver North, James Dobson, Whitewater, Swift Boaters, Flip-flopping, Terri Schiavo, The buses, Outing covert agents as appropriate government behavior, WMD, Saddam's close relationship with bin Laden, If you're against the war your against the troops, If you're against the President's policies you're against America, Activist judges are making laws, "Making progress," Tax relief
What do "Right-wing talk shows" have to do with Al Gore's sock puppetry with carbon credits??? (Other than perhaps exposing it?)
Lefties lie; it's all they have.
In any case, Steve is wrong. Right-wing radio will become irrelevant once the lefties make it illegal by re-instituting the "fairness doctrine". I'm pretty much afraid that's a matter of time....
Yeah it took me about 30 seconds to figure it out and another 10 to find out where it came from. (Found a unique phrase and googled it.) The main tip off was that at least the guy had the words spelled right. That convinced me it was more than our regular drive by lib.
That sight doesn't mean anything to me, but it looks pretty moonbatty.
It turns out that Blood and Gore built Generation Investment Management...David Blood and Al Gore
[url=http://www.generationim.com/media/pdf-ft-08-11-04.pdf]Blood and Gore launch new firm[/url]
Sound familiar?
Generation Investment Management US, LLP (Generation US) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Generation Investment Management, LLP, a London based, privately held institutional investment management firm, which is in business to manage the financial assets of "institutional investors, such as pension funds, foundation, and endowments, as well as those of select high net worth individuals." The former US Vice President is Chairman of the Board. David Blood, former Goldman-Sachs Asset Management CEO, is president of the new firm.
The firm's [url=http://www,generationim.com/]website[/url] states that the choice of London as the base of global investment management operations was due to time zone considerations. A more realistic and less ethereal view would be that the choice was a combination of convenience and the frightful question of US Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
The firm's motto, taken from Cornell Professor of Management Stuart Hall, is "Capitalism at the Crossroads."
The firm's corporate buzzword is "Sustainability." "Diversity" and "values" also figure prominently in the firm's corporate propaganda.
There is no mention in any of the press releases or corporate websites that I could find of trading in carbon indulgences... uh, credits.
So...what Al Gore is doing with carbon credits would be [i]self-indulgent?[/i]
Your sense of humor(?) is positively sinful.
