Why do you think RW media nuts like Limbaugh & Cunningham are having meltdowns?

[Skidmore]

After the tantrums those hatemongers threw yesterday, this morning I heard Norquist trying to sell a bill of goods on NPR on the car radio. I'm absolutely loving this. Obama and Dean have been out there in some of the most impossible places working hard on pulling the center to the left. Those screamers of the RW media fear becoming irrelevant and losing their audiences as people turn away from an ideology that delivered plenty of haranging and little substance.

Now, this "discussion" on the war that the Rs are so anxious to have in Congress is equally telling as they try to make the Republican Party relevant by justifying continuing the war and protecting * and McCain as the standard bearer they are stuck with.

Folks, we need to talk to our neighbors and friends, even when they don't agree with us. We're tacking leftward now toward some sort of sanity that used to probably be defined as the "center" at one time. We can't turn our backs on people and belittle them forever. We need to work with them and put hatemongers like Limbaugh, Hannity, Cunningham, Boortz, and the minions of the 90s out of business.

1. I missed it - what did they melt down about yesterday??

It is always something, isn't it?

6. Cunningham was laying into Obama using racist innuendo before

introducing McCain at one of his campaign events. Cunningham was apoplectic at the possibility of an AA candidate succeeding. McCain apologized for Cunningham's racist statements and Cunningham went berserk against McCain during his radio broadcast. Limbaugh went off on McCain trying to protect Cunningham. Now I don't listen to these RW radio hatemongers, but followed the progression of this story in the news yesterday. Then I heard about the debate that Republicans in Congress all of a sudden are pursuing. I've been chuckling over it. It just makes me want to work harder for change, starting with getting Obama elected.

8. Don't Be Fooled - This Is Just An Act .....

their going off on McCain is to give him some protection from the dirt that is coming. After they went off on McCain - they continued their harangue on Obama. They can get away with it - as their audiences eat that up and protect them. This is going to be their M.O. during the run-up for the Nov GE.

2. Because they are S C A R E D

They know their 28% (or whatever the hell it is) loony base is going to have it's ass whipped this November.

They are fast becoming irrelevent and they know it full well. They are stuck with
a GOP preidential candidate that they hate. They have little or no clout, do they? And they say OUR party is in dissaray? Look in the mirror, fellas - YOU'VE got the problem, not us.

Personally, I'm kind off enjoying the panic in their voices, even though they'll deny anything is wrong.

10. I 2nd that. Like cornered rats. nt

3. Not at ALL. Nothing could be further from the truth....

The very BEST thing that can happen to the right wing hatermongers is for a democrat to win the presidency. They are praying to the GOD of Greenbacks that a Democrat wins the presidency because it gives them more hate to spew and they can get on with blaming all Monkeyboys blunders and crimes on the new president.

4. Because McCain doesnt generally spew as much Hate as they do..

5. I think they felt that the right wing had taking over the country

If you look at the history of this country and many around the world we seem to be more and more liberal. When you feel you know what is best for people it is hard to give it up. We have gone to wars over all this. People seem to want to run their own govt. even is the right wing thinks they know best.

7. I occasionally listen in

to the rightwing crackpots, and the more and more common meltdowns from the talking heads even in my local area are hilarious!

9. As Peggy Noonan said a few weeks ago in the WSJ: he is not OBambi, he is bulletproof. nm

12. Interesting Nooner is still one of your team. Not 3 strikes yet, huh?

[merbex]

11. They can count and they are seeing Democratic ballots flying into ballot boxes and people

lining up to participate in democratic caucuses and it is the handwriting on the wall....

The only thing they have left is the ability to fiddle with the code of the Diebold voting machines

[JimGinPA]

13. They Have Reason To Be Nervous

They see which way the wind is blowing. Their relevence is diminishing.

[Emit]

14. They are had by the short hairs

Despite that the image conjured makes me want to :puke:, as it relates to Limbaugh et al.

[DefenseLawyer]

15. I don't think Limbaugh is losing his audience

But it certainly isn't growing. He gets what, 10 or 12 million listeners a week? and not all of them are true believers I'm sure. That is a nice chunk of people, but still a small niche of the over all population. There will always be a subset of clueless right wing nuts that keep bacon on fatboy's table.

16. It's because they're losing support.

Since Hillary is losing. They thrived Hillary/Clinton hate over the past...forever. Now the Hillary's being pushed aside, they don't know what to do.

[BrklynLiberal]

17. They were always teetering close to the edge. It did not take much to send them over...

It is scary when your personal view of /un/reality is disturbed by the reality of the rest of the world.
