Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, et al...prepare to see your hate-mongering careers come to an end

[mtnsnake]

sometime during the next 3-5 years because Barack Obama's message of hope and unity is going to trump your filthy message of fear and division.

I'm predicting that by the year 2013, none of you will have a job or be able to sell another filthy book again because the people just aren't going to listen to your divisive bullshit for very much longer.

I am so looking forward to the day that each and every one of you rotten Right Wing hate-filled scumbags never makes another penny again by spewing and pedalling such hatred. That day is definitely coming much sooner than any of you assholes think. You can still talk out of your ass, but the time is coming when nobody is going to listen to you fuckwads any longer, so prepare for your eventual demise, Limbaugh, you lard-assed hate-filled drug-ridden DESPICABLE BLOWHARD!!

[FarLeftRage]

1. Unless something drastic happens...

They'll still cater to those 25% of douchebags that listen to them.

[nichomachus]

2. I agree

someone needs to cater to the hate crowd. This election will only make them hate harder.

[Johonny]

17. Yeah hard to disagree

Most of the Hate group got their start hating on Clinton, who was more popular than Saint Reagan. These people pitch hate to the hate crowd. The kind of crowd that hates balanced budgets, winning wars, checks and balances and sex.

[jonnyblitz]

3. oh i don't know about that. the wingnut commentators thrived

under Clinton. I think they do better actually when their ilk is out of power and they feel under seige.

[Lorien]

31. Yep. They love to portrat themselves as victims and underdogs

even when they have all the power!

[Ishoutandscream2]

36. Yes. Actually, and Obama win will be the best thing for them

Lots and lots of hate to throw out there. It will be like the Clinton years for them.

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. are you kidding?

they'll do better than ever. They need a foil to spew their venom against. Defending Bush for eight years is not what they're good at.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. Actually an Obama presidency especially if it's successful will feed that hate

even more than it did during the Clinton years.

[LynnTheDem]

39. That's my fear.

I suspect the rightwingnut noise machine is going to go into hyper-overdrive.

[JHB]

40. FDR's success didn't stop their predecessors...

...so I'll wait until they're actually crushed, thank you, before declaring them dead,


Geez, you must know the Scary Movie formula for whan the bad guy is really REALLY dead!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

43. I've watched enough of them to know. Shit, Clinton's presidency was like crack

for these lunatics. I can't even imagine what effect an Obama presidency will have on them.

[olkaz]

6. I'm really sick of these bizarre naive posts.

The ridiculous racists aren't going away, so they'll still have an audience and plenty of advertisers.

Things will improve, but this isn't a freaking disney movie.

[mtnsnake]

9. If you don't believe Obama's message of hope & unity will trump, then go to PessimistsUnderground

and whine to your heart's content.

I for one believe that Limbaugh, et al, will have very few followers after Obama's message of unity gets through. It won't happen tomorrow, but it will happen.

[Jacobin]

10. Limpballs thrives when democrats are in office

His ratings and income soared during the 1990s when he could whine, wail and gnash his teeth over 8 years of peace, prosperity and a budget surplus.

I live in deep deep red territory. These people are not going to be washed away by unicorns and rainbows. They will continue to rage.

But, I think that this is a historic day and I look forward to washing the neo-cons out of power.

I voted at 6 this morning and it felt really really really good.

:-)

[mtnsnake]

12. That's the way it's been, but no other Democrat has preached the message of unity like Obama

That in itself gives me hope, Jacobin, that his message of hope and unity will get through to enough naysayers that they'll get sick of hearing fear and divisiveness from Limbaugh and his ilk. :)

[olkaz]

15. Right.

I'm not being a pessimist here. I think you might be misunderstanding our enemy.

They'll adopt a bunker mentality while the Republican knife fight over the blame takes place, and they'll be fired up in 2012.

Obama is the right choice, but you're putting some pretty ridiculous expectations on him.

[mtnsnake]

19. I'm not putting "some pretty ridiculous expectations" on Obama

I'm putting some expectations on the general public that they'll buy into Obama's message of unity enough that enough of them won't bother with Limbaugh's message of divisiveness that it will put him out of business in due time.

[olkaz]

25. You're parsing words then.

I'm done talking about this, it's silly.

[Hansel]

16. Agreed. Wingnuts hate merchants are slidding down the right side

(no pun intended) of the product life bell curve. Every product has a life cycle and their's is coming to an end. Why else do you think Hannity and Limbaugh are trying too hard, and the Morning Joe crew have morphed into the mourning Joe crew? Their livelihoods are on the line and they know it.

Obama will set a new tone in the country and advertisers are going to go where they get the most bang for their bucks. Fear mongering has made these morons popular and fear mongering will come to an end when Obama is president.

[mtnsnake]

22. Thank you!

Very well said, Hansel, and of course I can't agree more. :thumbsup:

[Arkansas Granny]

7. They aren't going anywhere. What could be better for them than a Democrat in office

to focus their hate?

[Marsala]

8. They'll flourish, but...

...more people in the middle may see them for what they truly are. Those who continue the politics of division will find themselves marginalized.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. They made all their money during the '90s

And they'll make good money during the next 8 years giving a voice to the discontents. What they'll lose is power to do anything about it.

I honstly don't know how they kept their shows for the last 8 years, with little to bitch about. Wait'll you hear them now.

[stolivodka]

13. Sadly, Rush did way better when Clinton was in office than he does today.

He even had a TV show! I think that, secretly, guys like Rush and Hannity are really happy about the prospect of an Obama win, because they know that it'll be just the kick in the pants their waning careers need.

[mtnsnake]

30. Rush flourished under Clinton. He helped get Bush elected, but the hate-mongers failed this time

All the hatred and divisiveness they spewed over the last 4 years failed to prevent Obama from being elected. People are already starting to override Limbaugh's message of fear and hatred with Obama's message of hope and unity.

What worked for Limbaugh so well in the 90's may never work so well again because almost everyone is smart enough to see the results of what happened when they listened to Rush's bullshit. They've been taken for a ride.

[Crowman1979]

37. The Internets are putting an end to every RW nutjobs career.

[neomonkey]

14. Man oh man, I hope you're right. But I think you'll be disappionted

These scumbags thrive on being the unpopular victims. For all the shit they may say about "victim mentalities", they are the biggest offenders. And with Obama and a Democratic-led legislature, they will find victimization easy to come by. "Oh woe is my lardass," yells Rush. "I'm surrounded by socialists and liberals." And there will be a fringe audience who feels the same way always willing to lend an ear to these cretins.

[whatchamacallit]

18. Uh Huh...

:crazy:

[TheZug]

20. Unfortunately, an Obama victory is probably good for their business.

It's always easier to bitch at the people in charge than defend your own terrible guy.

[mtnsnake]

23. That's what I thought at first, too, but then I thought how powerful Obama's message of unity is

I even posted last week that an Obama victory would probably mean more money for the hate-mongers, but upon thinking it over, I re-nig on that and am thinking that the hate-mongers audience is going to grow much thinner under an Obama presidency because of his message, not in spite of it.

[TheZug]

26. Well, I'd be happy for you to be right.

[LostinVA]

21. Nope -- they will be worse -- they got their start under Clinton

[meow mix]

24. i agree - but fox will be instructed to alter thier stance?

because people will lose thier tolerance for these filth.. they'll have less audience.

and all they want is money at the top.

[mtnsnake]

27. "people will lose thier tolerance for these filth.. they'll have less audience"

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

Limbaugh's message has done nothing to get another Republican elected, so not a single Republican listener of his can say that Limbaugh helped keep Obama out of the White House.

[AzNick]

28. I believe they will actually flourish nt

[mtnsnake]

29. Their message over the last 4 years did not prevent Obama from becoming President

and that's one more reason why I don't think they'll flourish.

[AzNick]

44. Two different things....

I believe that them being in the opposition will actually help their ratings.

During the Clinton years, the RW talk radios really took off and flourished.

During the Bush years, it was the turn of the LW talk radios took off, even if they were handicapped by lower advertising revenues (for partisan reasons).

[BamaTideFan83]

32. Are you kidding?

They can't wait for an Obama presidency. Can you imagine how hard it has been having a Republican president in office and still trying to stir up controversy to discuss? They're thinking they can do their shows with 5 minutes of prep time. It will be a 4-year vacation for them.

[Beacool]

33. Nothing is going to change.

If anything, they'll spend their time regrouping their troops and gearing for the next election. Conservatism is not going to die simply because we elect a Democrat to the WH.

:shrug:

[mtnsnake]

34. I didn't say conservatism is going to die.

Nor would I believe that for a milisecond.

Rush isn't about conservatism.

[Beacool]

42. True,

but they are not going anywhere. Actually, they will probably do even better under a Democratic administration than they did under Bush because they'll have plenty to gripe about.

[drumwolf]

35. Sorry, but I'm joining the "you're being naive" crowd here.

IF WE'RE LUCKY, they will lose their power to influence the general political climate of this country over the long term. But the segment of the American population that thrives on hate and ignorance, and gives Limbaugh and Coulter their audience, is not going away.

Sorry, but you are horribly naive. I'm going to guess that if you'd been around in the '60s, when the Civil Rights movement was in full swing fighting for the rights of blacks, you would have gloated that the segregationists, Jim Crow supporters, and neo-Confederates were finished. Wrong! They didn't go away. They morphed into the current GOP base that fuels the careers of Limbaugh, Coulter and Hannity.

The lumpen part of our population isn't going away anytime in the foreseeable future.

[madeline_con]

38. Are you SERIES?!!

A Dem in the White House would be a non-stop bitch session for all those morans!

[Blue For You]

41. Yeah, I don't see those clowns becoming productive members

of society. They'll continue spewing hatred for the Queen Esther/Sarah lovin' freeper-types. Don't forget it was during the Clinton years when OK City happened, and another nutcase sprayed the White House with automatic gunfire, and another RW-idiot flew a small plane into the White House (barely missed it and he died on the scene). These are the types Rush and Co. preach too.
