Rush Limbaugh, Intellectual

Limbaugh is a fool and a liar. Having a strong opinion doesn't mean you are right. Ignoring facts that conflict with your ideology doesn't change reality. All of that does, however, keep your audience ignorant and enraged. Because the Right looks to the likes of Hannity, Coulter, and Limbaugh for information it dooms itself to an ever shrinking portion of the intelligent public debate. I figure about 20 percent of the population is so paranoid, xenophobic, and ignorant that they will believe anything these charlatans say and that is bad news for the Republican Party.
