Krugman: 'The madness of the GOP is the central issue of our time'

[certainot]

38. there's no question- it starts at the local RW radio station. 1200 of them, repeating

think tank-coordinated pro-corporate propaganda.

if they can scream it over and over from every corner and stump in the country for years, decades, and no one gets in their face then it is true, and the madness is acceptable.

but it's ignored by the analysts like krugman because they read and watch, and there's nothing there to read or watch. or we blame the symptoms, like fox TV, or money in politics, which we could regulate if we hadn't ignored the radio and allowed the party of lincoln to be turned into the party of limbaugh.

and the left get our internet ass kicked by it because we read and watch and would rather listen to a scratched barry manilow CD from under the car seat on the way to the protest than what the local and national blowhards are blasting from 1000 radio stations to cause the protest in the first place and what they're saying about the 'stinking' protestors for weeks afterwards to negate most of the benefit that might have come from the protest in the first place.

considering the time lost on global warming, ignoring the talk radio monopoly that's been working for the GOP/ALEC/koch's/rove for the last 25 years is the biggest political mistake in history.

the amazing part is that it depends heavily on our own state funded universities even while it attacks and works to defund public education, by sticking their sports team logos all over those megaphones - here's a ;list of 70+ universities that endorse 170+ limbaugh stations- https://sites.google.com/site/universitiesforrushlimbaugh/
and that's just some of it.
