I heard voices outside, and noticed a neighbor washing his car with the radio blaring. I couldn't make out any words, but my first impression was that he was playing some of the old speeches by Hitler from the WWII era. I couldn't help but wonder why somebody would be playing a recording of Hitler's speeches, so I wandered outside to see what it was all about. When I got close enough to make out the words I realized it was not German at all. It was Rush Limbaugh. It really surprised me, because I was so convinced that it was Hitler's ranting I was hearing. The cadence and rhythm was so distinctively Hitler's that I just walked away shaking my head in disbelief.
Just thought I'd share that startling observation that had never occurred to me before.

A clean car here is the sign of a bad citizen.
Of course, having limbaugh on is the same kind of sign.

The RW speeches that receive the most thunderous applause from their base would be the ones that had the most distinctively similar and hateful tone and cadence.
Try it wit Trump's and Cruz's recent speeches.
