• Limbaugh vs. Obama

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to AARON THOMAS on Mon Sep 19 18:21:00 2022
    Are you perhaps forgetting Rush Limbaugh and "Barack the Magic Negro?"

    Nobody except for Rush Limbaugh.

    Did you wrongly think that a few negative comments from Rush Limbaugh were going to influence an election?

    The people who listen to Limbaugh and are "influenced" by him were never
    going to vote for a Democrat, so the answer should be "no."

    The tendency of a person to listen to Limbaugh and the content of Limbaugh's show are two different things. Limbaugh's show offered conservative
    viewpoints, sure, but was also intended to keep the sheep in the fold.

    Exactly. So he was not likely to influence someone like, say, you to
    suddenly start voting against Democrats. He had a choir that he preached
    to.

    And what would happen if he stopped preaching to this choir? Well, he has stopped, and support for Trump and the Republicans is waning.

    Hence the past tense "offered."

    Although, I strongly suspect that our friend Gregory listens to re-runs every chance he gets.

    I have several books written by Bill O'Reilly he is welcome
    to have free for the asking. And yes, that clown is still alive,
    having his own podcasts. Just imagine listening to that voice
    all day, and all night ...

    Biden just isn't the spectacle that Trump was/is. Every once in a while makes a gaffe or falls off of his bicycle or something, but he's not say doing his own press conferences filled with outrageous lies and exaggerations.
    So when Biden steals someone else's life story and tries to make it his own, or tells a fib about his education, it is a "gaffe," but when Trump makes false claims, it is a "lie" and not just any lie, but an "outrageous" one.

    Biden does this what, once a year at most, maybe a few times in a decade?
    Trump did it day after day after day, and is still doing it.

    Proves a point I made to Aaron yesterday.

    Not so much. The frequency and degree of the lies are important, too.

    "Where's Jackie?"

    When Biden makes a gaffe, his critics make sure everybody knows
    about it. But nothing but praise when it comes to Trump ...

    It is only The Big Lie that really matters.

    Are you perhaps confusing Oprah Winfrey with Whoopi Goldberg?
