On October 28, 2008, on the web site of the perpetually outraged--and routinely fact-averse--radio host Rush Limbaugh, there were these headlines, representing segments of his show that day:
“Socialist Obama Cannot Uphold the Constitution He Has Dismissed.”
“Explaining Socialism to Kids.”
“McCain Starts Sounding Good.” The sub-headline read: “The senator is out there battering Obama’s socialism.”
“America’s First Socialist Failure.” The sub-headline: “The real story of Thanksgiving.”
And referring to one of his callers, that day:
“Suzanne Stuck in Socialist Vermont.” Sub-headline: “If Obama wins the presidency, we’re all Vermont.”
I guess when you’ve got nothing of substance to talk about, this is the kind of foolishness you rely on.
