Republican Caller Tells Limbaugh: "You're A Brainwashed Nazi" (Audio included)

Jason Linkins, The Huffington Post. 10 April 2009.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/07/republican-caller-tells-l_n_184244.html (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/07/republican-caller-tells-l_n_184244.html)

The caller, Charles, identified himself as a Republican and a veteran, who "really didn't want to see Obama get in office." From there, he let loose, especially on the torture issue, telling Limbaugh, "We're not supposed to be torturing these people. This is not Nazi Germany, Red China, or North Korea." He then added, "I hate to say it...but I think you're a brainwashed Nazi."

Wow. 74 pages of comments. I read all the ones on the first page at least- good reading. Does anyone take that clown seriously anymore? Sarah Louise is correct- without controversy there would be no show. He's a paid actor, nothing more.

Ah, but like another actor not so long ago, he's now "the head" of the Republican party. Of course, maybe they just got the body parts turned around when they gave him that title.

Limbaugh has a huge following.  And I think most of them wear armbands of the American Flag with the swastika in the blue field.  JMHO

Limbaugh has a huge following

Not really, he has a large following for a talk radio host, but 2 million listeners, out of 300 million people in this country is not huge.  Less than 1% which in statistics land = insignificant.  He gets coverage in the 'echo chamber' of the modern media which does little but quote itself, but in reality, no one is really paying attention.

Tekla its closer to between 15-20 million people a day.

No Janet I dont wear any nazi inspired/confiscated symbols.

I suggest reading the book "Liberal Fascism, by Jonah Goldberg.

And also "Liberty and Tryanny..., by Mark Levin.

Both are promenient American Conservatives and Jewish as well.

On a personal note I tend more to the Libertarian brand of Conservatism.

Y'all do what ya care too, just dont expect me to pay for it.

There is precious little evidence that they thought it out at all in the first place.  "Welcomed into Baghdad like the liberators were in Paris."  OK, not exactly.  "The war will pay for itself."  OK, wrong again.  "A few weeks, months at most."  Strike three, you're out.  Matter of fact, its hard to find anything they are were right about, or really thought out in the first place.  The trouble with assuming that you are god almighty right about everything all the time, pretty much precludes that you will ever really try to think it through.  Doubt is not always a bad deal.
