GOP: Even Bigger Pussies than We Thought?

As usual, it's amazing to me how right wingers cow-tow to media blow-hards like Rush, Hannity et al. And just to kick things up a notch, today we saw a GOP Congressman basically crawl on his hands and knees to Rush, begging forgiveness for not baking him any tittycakes this morning. Most people would be embarrassed by this, but you can almost feel the seismic shift of millions of his listeners putting their fists in the air, a la "Fat White Power!!"

Cause what's funny is that nobody holds these people accountable for being even remotely right about anything - it doesn't matter what someone like Rush says and that between shows he actually gets proven 100% wrong; by his next show the audience is jacked up, ready to hear and cheer whatever he says next. Again, leading one to reflect how EMOTIONAL these listeners are. But the past few days of seeing that GOP congressmen are actually terrified of someone like Rush Limbaugh says a lot in terms of what these congressman feel they have to offer as leaders, and how well they know their own audience constituents.

And now once again Bernie Goldberg is on O'Reilly, screaming and crying re: the Big Three news anchors are "slobbering" over Obama, of course thanks to the media's (say it with me) liberal bias. Goldberg has crafted a career now out of screaming about the left-wing bias that has taken over television....while on, what do you know...television. Hmm.

Matter of fact, even as I'm watching Goldberg cry, I see this chart:

Chart by way of HERE.

Obviously, this chart is a small piece of evidence that would dispute the notion of the crazy left-wing bias Goldberg rails against even existing. Except once you've spent ten minutes listening to these shows and it's listeners, you realize that it SIMPLY DOES NOT MATTER if it's true or not. Doesn't matter. I've said it 100 times: if there's a left-wing bias, they're really bad at it. Cause none of this shit ever gets called out, it just goes on. Cause the right wing has wisely discovered what's true - facts may well outlast emotion, but not RIGHT NOW. And as long as you keep up a constant stream of RIGHT NOW, the truth will just hafta wait.
