Limbaugh and Beck are very intelligent, tonally and intellectually. Beck has used source after source to prove that you liberals are liars through and through. Limbaugh has pieced together your schemes for years using simple news reports. It's obvious that you don't listen to or watch either of them.
If they are intellectuals, then they are whores in the use of their intellectual powers. Both are off-the-cuff types, much like Sarah Palin.
Rush Limbaugh is a vile man, a drug addict and a bully. He seems to tell the truth because you would never believe anything that a liberal says. Glenn Beck is able to piece together little bits of information into wild conspiracy theories.
My arch-conservative father who once suggested that it would be a good thing if employers had control of the votes of their employees and that giant corporations would have formal representation in Congress -- that is fascist ideology! -- recognizes Glenn Beck as a nut. He can't stand Limbaugh, either.
Neither Limbaugh nor Beck was able to detect, and neither could find anything wrong with the dictatorial tendencies of Republican figures (most infamously Cheney, Rove, and DeLay) in the heyday of GOP control of the political process. Neither was bale to catch onto the falsehood of claims that the war in Iraq was started over falsehoods, and neither ever called Dubya for a war for profit.
Rubio has yet to win a Senate seat, and anyone who thinks that he will attract the votes of non-Cuban Latinos fails to recognize that Mexican-Americans and Puerto Ricans have very different political cultures from that of Cuban-Americans. First, many Cuban-Americans have Fidel Castro as a bugaboo. Second, Cuban-Americans are heavily concentrated in Florida. As a GOP nominee he could bring Florida into the GOP camp in 2012. As an anti-amnesty Latino he would offend the sensibilities of Mexican-Americans and Americans of Central American origin who want amnesty. The illegal alien might be an in-law for a Mexican-American.
Look -- we liberals are quick to abandon our own crooks and liars. We haven't defended
William Jefferson or John Edwards -- but you right-wingers have defended people like Jack Abramoff.
