Rush Limbaugh: Tech bloggers 'hate' Apple
Apple, that icon of left-leaning Silicon Valley whose board of directors includes former Democratic Vice President Al Gore, is really a symbol of the Republican Party.
Rivals Google and Samsung, meanwhile, are more like Democrats.
Got that?
This analysis comes courtesy of Rush Limbaugh, the conservative talk-show host, who ventured into the unfamiliar world of tech punditry last week. On his radio show Friday, Limbaugh went on a curious rant about how tech bloggers are overrun with liberals who hate Apple -- not unlike, in his view, how the mainstream (translation: left-wing) media covers the GOP.
"I would venture to say that 9 out of 10 bloggers writing high-tech hate Apple. Apple is the equivalent of the Republicans on these blogs, and Google, Android, and Samsung are the equivalent of the Democrats. They're perfect, they can't do anything wrong, they're ideal, and everybody hates Apple," he said, according to a transcript posted on his website.
Limbaugh added this opinion of tech bloggers: "I'd say most of them vote Democrat. Most of them think they're young and hip, pop culture hip. That's high-tech, of course it would be. Republicans to them are probably aliens from Mars, racists, sexists, bigot homophobes."
The right-wing commentator went on to accuse pro-Google, pro-Samsung bloggers of "faking data, faking news to make it look bad for Apple when it really isn't." He added that a small minority of pro-Apple bloggers are starting to write about this "media bias," even though "they don't understand it."

a far less objectionable fat repuke.
His FWD.US has made several deals with repuke devils. What he really wants, surprise 
, is favorable tax treatment.
