Now I know what Rush Limbaugh's voice reminds me of: Jim Jones.

[Lex]

The paranoia, the hubris, the delusion, the pessimism, the unfounded fear, the loyal following whipped into his belief of his lies and fantasy.

Terrible, frightening stuff.

1. come to me my babies. nt.

2. never made the connection before

I think you're spot on...too bad so many drink his kool-aid.

[susanna]

3. What a frightening (but apt) perspective.

I can think of many times I have said that his listeners are "drinking the Kool Aid." I think a lot of my understanding of what he is must have been subconscious until your post. Wow. That is really terrifying. And what a valuable insight it is.

4. Yes, I can see that.

Very frightening.

5. Wait until he get his followers to drink the kool-aid. n/t

[Lex]

6. He convinces them each day that

the government's gonna get their guns and
the government's going to make their life hell
take their Bibles
poison their children's minds

much of the very same stuff Jim Jones made his people afraid of, to control them

[hughee99]

7. I was referring to the "final" kool-aid he gave them. n/t

[Lex]

8. yeah, I got that

I do realize that's where the reference originates. Thanks.
