What is so amazing is that everyday, the right-wing hate mongers go on their respective radio shows and rant about the biased news media and that they are there for the “truth”. And then the individuals that listen to this “garbage” and can’t think for themselves, but buy into this vituperative “hog-wash”. Hook, line and sinker! It is so sad to hear them call themselves “ditto-heads” when the likes of Limbaugh, or one of Codpieces talking heads throws them some “red-meat truth”. Let’s just look at three examples by using topics that we all should be concerned about. That being the health and welfare of all our citizens, national security, and patriotism! As it relates to the first, it is amazing how Limbaugh attacks the issue by assailing Hillary Clinton and then telling his flock, “The latest poll shows that 80% of the people surveyed like their insurance coverage. So this proves that Hillarrry is lying to the public with her agenda. The people are pleased and don’t want Hillarry’s social program” And the “ditto-heads” call in and tell Limbaugh that it is so great that “he” tells them the real truth, and then castigate Hillarrry for lying to the public. And you know what? If I had been asked on this Limbaugh poll, I would have affirmed what the 80% said, thus making Limbaugh be telling the truth. But what is so amazing, the “ditto-heads” that buy into this position and Limbaugh’s spin is that he has avoided the “real” issue and misleading the “dittos” that can’t think and see through his “flim-flam”. Notice he that he is saying that 80% of those who “have” insurance are pleased, when the real issue is the millions that don’t have any insurance or health care. So if Limbaugh’s polled had been directed to those in which the issue applies, then he would have gotten 100% that said they didn’t like their insurance coverage because they had no insurance coverage. But the “dittos” love him all the while that he has to deceive them with how he frames the issue and the answer. Now to the second one and how Limbaugh addresses the latest example of how our national security is being protected, when in reality it is being weakened because when one challenges the lies, Limbaugh has to defend and tell his “dittos” more “flim-flam”. I speak of the current issue of the outing of Ambassador Wilson’s wife and the fact that she was playing a role in make our nation safe by her undercover work as a CIA agent. Forget for a moment that Limbaugh doesn’t attack Wilson’s wife, but rather goes after Wilson with the charge in his radio show that Wilson was the one who revealed his wife’s name. Over and over he rants that it was Wilson who revealed his wife’s name and thus he should be the one held for treason. And again, one the surface what Limbaugh is saying has the ring of truth, but again it is “flim-flam” that the “dittos” eat up and show their anger. However, the “dittos” would know it is “flim-flam” if they would only think for once in their live and realize that Wilson did mention his “wife’s name” after Novak revealed to the world and our enemies that, “Yes, Wilson’s wife is a secret agent for the CIA and she is attempting to protect the citizen’s of this country.”. An idiot should know that Wilson’s wife’s name wasn’t the issue, but rather the fact she was a CIA agent. The last time I checked, everyone at birth is given a name and birth certificate and sure Wilson mentioned her name …AFTER Novak told the world that his wife was a CIA agent. But again, the “flim-flam” works on the “dittos”. But to my favorite example and that is the issue of patriotism and the automatic charge that if anyone questions Codpiece and Cheney, they are accused of being un-patriotic and a scumbag. So let me quote for you “wingers” what I think is the most unpatriotic example of how a “real” scumbag works in deceiving “dittos”.” “..You fly down along the Mall and see the monument to George Washington, a structure as grand as the man himself. To the north is the White House, where John Adams once prayed “that none but honest and wise men may ever rule under this roof.” Next you see the memorial to Thomas Jefferson, the third president……Then you cross the Potomac, on approach to the Pentagon. But just before you settle down on the landing pad, you look upon Arlington National Cemetery, its gentle slopes and crosses row on row. I never once made that trip without being reminded how enormously fortunate we all are to be Americans, and what a terrible price thousands have paid so that all of us…and millions more around the world..might have freedom.” Why is it that “scumbags” and crooks have to mention pray, honest and wise men in conjunction with serving in the White House? If Bill Clinton has uttered these words, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and all the “dittos” would have assailed him with an attack on the nerve of this man to blaspheme all those men and women who gave their life so that all of us could have freedom. Forget for a moment that this was Dick Cheney uttering these words and for a person who is so concerned about a terrible price to be paid but when given the chance to serve he had better things to do. Forget that Cheney avoided the military, but never forget that he is a scumbag to utter these words about such a patriotic site. Now watch the Prolife, the Watson, the Jallen attack me with…”idiot” “TexasDud” and most of all that I’m the unpatriotic one to assail Cheney over this speech. Go ahead….attack me with you “ditto-head” limited vocabulary. I dare you!!!!!!
