CNN host Rick Sanchez took a stab at the talk radio world yesterday, questioning why many Americans believe in economic conservatism usually defined by Supply Side economics.
Attacking “these guys on talk radio” for promoting the lowering of taxes on the wealthy, he later asked guest Georgia Tech Professor Danny Boston whether he was frustrated by radio hosts “who don’t even have a college degree” weighing in on this issue.
“If you listen to these guys on talk radio, some of whom make thousands of dollars if not millions of dollars– you know who I’m talking about– you will have heard this consistent narrative,” he says, as he explains traditional fiscal conservatism and free market economics.
Do we know who he’s talking about? Chances are it’s the three most listened-to hosts on the radio: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, all of whom are, as Rick Sanchez points out, fairly wealthy– not that Sanchez’s CNN gig makes him a pittance or anything.
It perplexes him, Sanchez explains, that people listen, because they act in what he perceives to be the opposite of their self interest.
He proposes the question of this contradiction to Professor Boston– suggesting that the people that disagree with him would necessarily think of Boston as “overeducated and stupid” on account of his academic pedigree.
This seems to imply that Sanchez doesn’t think much of the intelligence levels of the folks on talk radio:
Is that something that’s frustrating, that you know this stuff and can explain it, but yet the people who are really leading the charge in this country are the guys on the radio, many who don’t even have a college degree?
Rightardia comment: Less than 30 per cent of Americans have bachelors degrees and the Republicans have been dumbing up the high school curriculums for years by eliminting, civics, history, the arts and music classes. You can also get an associates degree today that is a two or three year technical or occupational degree that is stripped of humanities classes.
Corporations want productive drones that don't ask questions or agitate for better working conditions. Most Americans are unaware of the sweat shop working conditions and child labor that plagued this country at the beginning of the 20th Century. Many are also unaware of the causes of the Great Depression.
Some believe they may someday win the lottery and reap in all of those tax breaks the GOP has been giving to the affluent.

Media Matters: CNN calls out Fox News for lying about Tea Party coverage
The right wing appears to following the Adolf Hitler playbook on health care. Most right wing appeals are emotional and anti-intellectual. Rightardia has reviewed the low content diatribes of Rush Limbaugh and pointed out that most of rants include few facts.
Limbaugh prefers to discuss a listeners gripes about some specific problem and then suggest this tree reflects the entire forest. He fails to look at the bigger picture. He prefers to 'cherry pick.'
George W. Bush also used a page out out of one of the great German propaganda films, Triumph des Willens, when Hitler descended in an airplane to land a a large German rally. Bush's "mission accomplished' landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln in a Lockheed S-3 Viking was copied right out of the German propaganda film.
America now knows the mission is Iraq will never be accomplished and that al Qaeda recruited thousand of men because of the ill-treatment of Muslim combatants at Abu Ghraib and other locations.
As Adolf Hitler has stated:
"You lie": Rick Sanchez calls out Fox for its full-page ad falsely claiming CNN didn't cover tea party protests, adds "we expect an apology"

As Adolf Hitler has stated:
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.”
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”
“The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.”

"Birthers' psuedo-conspiracy is making the GOP look stupid
In their minds he is a citizen of Kenya, whose true citizenship has been covered up by an exciting conspiracy involving his parents, his friends, his in-laws, and government officials at all levels, from both parties, spanning several generations.
These are crazy people who must live in who live in Crazytown. Or maybe thy have gotten into some really bad LSD. Clearly these rightards are out of touch with the real world.
According to Wikipedia Barack Obama was born at the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, to Stanley Ann Dunham, an American of mainly English descent from Wichita, Kansas, and Barack Obama, Sr., a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya.
Snopes.com also confirmed that there are also birth announcements in two different Honolulu papers on Barack Obama's birth.
It is also a fact that John McCain was born in Panama and that his American citizenship is far more circumspect than Obama's.
