2020 Election
Quote: ams288I’ve listened to his show while stuck in a car with my dad before.
Rush did not magically convert me.
It takes a couple weeks of solid
listening. I've heard countless
converts call in over the last
30 years. Most of them were
forced to listen at work, or their
spouse had it on all the time.
They all said they hated Rush and
had a low opinion of him before
they listened. He makes so much
common sense it's difficult to
argue against him. Which you seldom
hear the Lib media do because they're
to terrified to listen to him. Especially
in election periods.

So, you're the product of Rush indoctrination?
I see how that turned out.
Quote: rxwineSo, you're the product of Rush indoctrination?

Absolutely. Rush taught me how to
listen to other media with an open
mind. Libs listen to their media with
a tightly closed mind. That's why
if you expose them to anything right
wing, they run around the room
screaming 'Make it stop! Make it stop!'

I would say Rush and STRATFOR have taught me the most about thinking critically over the past 25 years. Rush gets very happy as callers point out what they have learned when the media tries their same old tricks.

That’s just the Oxy kicking in...
I know very little abut Rush, I don't really like any of those guys on either side.Quote: EvenBobIt takes a couple weeks of solid

But that kinda sounds like brain washing to me.
Quote: AZDuffmanI would say Rush and STRATFOR have taught me the most about thinking critically
Rush has always preached critical
thinking. Doubt everything until
you see proof. It used to tick me
off that there would be a big story
and Rush never mentioned it till it
had been vetted as true. Totally the
opposite of what modern media
does now.

Did you see what he said today? Liberals said we need an anti-lynching law. Rush said he did not realize lynching was still legal! How well he plays these fools.
Quote: AxelWolfI know very little abut Rush, I don't really like any of those guys on either side.

Not at all. Brainwashing is saying the same thing over and over so you get life's losers crying that the GOP is holding them back and the cause of all ills in society. They can't explain why, they just repeat it.
Rush listeners take apart bad arguments of others and make their own good ones.

lol, yeah, like this story
You're a good lil soldier.
Quote: Steverinoslol, yeah, like this story
This is a blow to me, I thought Rush was
100% right all the time. Can you rock my
world and point me in the direction of
the perfect people you listen to?
(Rush says he's right 98-99% of the time,
he's claimed that for years)

According to the source above, he's right about 17% of the time. Admittedly, 40 stories is a small sample size. It's probably lower.
Quote: SteverinosAccording to the source above,
LOL! Fake news. Notice they don't give
the correct data when they say Rush
was wrong. That's because they can't.
All they do is accuse, with no evidence.
Or just sit there and say it's fake. You're a good lil soldier.

I clicked on the first one about
climate change. Their answer
is the opinion of is CC nutjob.
Sorry, fake and really funny
news.
Quote: MintyMy question is now more than ever how can we hope to convince anyone of anything politically if they just declare thinks they disagree with fake news?
Right? It's kinda like everyone who disagrees with me is just a racist Nazi.
Stop trying to accomplish things politically and you might find yourself, and everyone around you, a lot more happy.

Yeah I think you're right. On the other hand, the feeling of accomplishment from changing someone's view is huge, and even just learning from them or teaching something is invaluable, in my opinion.

Click and read the link. They have Trump at 3 to 2. The "field" (read: a Democrat) is more favored to win.
It's obvious that Trump is the most likely individual to be elected at the moment. Everyone should know that.
Quote: MintyMy question is now more than ever how can we hope to convince anyone of anything politically if they just declare thinks they disagree with fake news?
Maybe if the media wasn't constantly writing fake news...
What if the news started to change what happened at events from years ago? Starting with your small local newspaper reporting about a fire 40 years ago at some house. You were there, you saw what happened. The news source changes the story; how it started, who was involved, and other minor things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
These little things that don't matter start to add up. The local election shows the winning candidate with 50.9% of the votes instead of 50.45%. The shooting at ABC high school resolved at 11:35am as a suicide by the shooter after SWAT came into the school instead of 11:00am. Little things changing here and there and over time it adds up to a big issue that we don't question.
I feel the media has so much power at the moment, being able to show us what they want us to see, instead of actually what happened.

It was obvious that Hillary was going
to win in 2016. It's meaningless.
Quote: RSMaybe if the media wasn't constantly writing fake news...
Big part of it is most things are boring and the media needs to make them look less boring. I saw a demonstration where they made a small crowd of Kurds look like a huge crowd. Since then I never trust pics of crowds. I learned that those "we went back to find out more" stories on news mags are fake, it is all shot at once and the follow-on segments are ready if the story had legs.

I'd take Secretariat over a "field" of American Pharaoh and Justify and the Dems do not have an American Pharaoh or Justify
Quote: djatcHere's something that I explained to a few people and it sounds tinfoil-hatty but:
What if the news started to change what happened at events from years ago?
Ever notice how priceless arts and ancient texts and world philosophies all sorta share the same nexus in the Mediterranean? Why when you hear "pyramid" do you think of Giza and not Aguateca? Why when you hear "aqueduct" do you think Rome and not Peru? Why when you hear "socialism" do you think of Marx as its father? You know the Aztecs lived under Socialism for hundreds of years before Marx' birth, right?
We had Statue of David and Sistine Chapel and gilded halls, too. It was all destroyed, melted into Spanish coin, and now there's no one left to tell the story.
Not meaning to compare Fox News to the Spanish Inquisition, but your comment did start my day off with a belly laugh. "Imagine if the news changed" lol. Yeah. Imagine that XD
Quote: FaceNot meaning to compare Fox News to the Spanish Inquisition, D
Here's why Fox always beats the competition
hands down. On Wed night, about 8pm eastern,
the Chicago police said they were arresting
Smollet. FoxNews immediately had it on as
breaking news and covered it multiple times
till 11pm.
Want to know how many times NBC and MSnbc
mentioned it Wed night? Zero. They completely
ignored it. Fox doesn't spoon feed it's
viewers what they think they want to see, they
actually report the news.

Yes, because the Smollet news is SO important and affects so many people. /sarcasm
A significant portion of Fox News viewers are old old white people who hate any "brown" person. The Smollet story is like catnip to them. So of course Fox is going to overplay it.
How many times did Fox report on the white nationalist whack job who was planning to murder a bunch of Dem politicians and talking heads?

I don't watch CNBC so I wouldn't know. Bunch of old guys always have it on in the locker room and the gym and it looks boring AF.

I suppose CNBC is boring to Lefties as they actually discuss capitalistic ideas thereon
And there's a consensus: He's an idiot.
Quote: SteverinosGive me a break. The idea that CNN or MSNBC is not reporting on the Smollett story after he was exposed is absolutely ridiculous. It's been widely reported on.

They were covering the Smollet story like it was a presidential assassination or something the other night.

MSNBC does not cover Smollett hoax charges on Wednesday prime-time shows.
Ridiculous is denying how upset the media is about this.

They can't believe they fell for
the soon to be rich Covington

gone wrong? The media is
devastated that all the good solid
'evidence' they had of bigotry
on the Right was snatched
from them.

Like someone else brought up, they would be happier if the guy was really attacked.
Seems like he is an opiate addicted, disturbed man. As far as him being a "domestic tarist" IDK?Quote: ams288Yes, because the Smollet news is SO important and affects so many people. /sarcasm

No automatic weapons or bump stawks. Looking at his gun assortment, none of them are particularly more assault worthy than any hunting rifle or shotgun. No one can shoot more than two pistols at a time. Bfd.
A disturbed individual hooked on tramadol, is concerning. Like all or most all of the mass shooters we've had, it seems some form of SSRI is involved. Other than that, this guy was active duty CG, prior Marine, why shouldn't he have guns? He didn't shoot anyone, or threaten anyone that I'm aware? He had Pelosi on a hit list, but who could blame him for that, lol ?
The charges against him are for non prescripted prescription pain meds, while collecting firearms and writing drug addled thoughts on his computer. Not really that big O news . At least in the Smollett fiasco, someone was injured.
Now go read the last two pages over again.

These two sentences are enough for me. Add in the targets and we get to say any law authority who knew this before a shooting about anyone is going to be grilled and fried for ignoring it.
Uh oh. Dem suburban white women are just doing as their men say again!

"dem" is slang for "them." Same as saying "dem wascally wepublicans." Humor to show how silly Hillary sounded when she blamed suburban white women.
Added "white" because "suburban" is code for "white." A liberal dog-whistle if you will. We all know this.
Quote: petroglyphDo you feel the same way about alcoholics?
Yeah, sure, your words "disturbed" has to be in there. Then also targets of real people.
Alcoholics likely kill someone with a car by accident before they get around to killing someone intentionally with a gun.
Not that I know what can legally be done in all cases.
Let's say you have a neighbor you know has many guns. You see him regularly acting irrationally. You hear yelling, and threatening people inside his home even though no one is there but him.
Your call. You like that kind of neighbor?
