Reply #7: I heard that here in Texas too. [View All]

I listen to a lot of wingnut talk radio. Even here in Austin It's all conservative crap with one micro FM militia/conspiracy station. Really retarded stuff, yet somehow I can't stop listening. I do hear more people calling in to disagree with the Hillary/Obama/Democrats suck narrative than used to, but still the majority of callers are the same wingnut fucktards they have been for years.

The slurs on Obama by Clinton are not resonating with the Right-wing crowd. Don't get me wrong, they hate him, and they love any Democrat on Democrat catfight, but they don't care what Hillary says. They don't care what bitter-gate or orange juice-gate the pundits' are rattling on about. The caller's complaints for the most part are just ditto-head blither that could have come out of the speaker one, two, three, five, nine years ago. Their hearts are not in it like when they thought conservatives could win forever, but they aren't giving up.

Here's the standard script:

Clinton is a ruthless, power hungry, liberal feminazi cypto-fascist. (I know, don't try to make sense of it)

Obama on an angry, stealth-muslim, liberal commie n****r. (sorry, but that's what they mean)

They both want to raise your taxes, give the money to lazy, criminal darkies, take your guns away, unleash fags and dykes to teach your children to be fags and dykes, prevent you from being christian, give your job to Mexicans and simultaneously lose the war on terror while hating America and the troops.

On the militia/conspiracy radio they add that both Hillary and Obama are New World Order globalists who want to merge America with Canada and Mexico and let the UN raise your taxes, give it to Jewish Bankers then, poison the water and food supply, take your guns away, put your kids in camps where fags and dykes teach your children to be atheist fags and dykes, prevent you from being christian, give your job to Mexicans and simultaneously lose the war on terror while hating America and the troops. ...and Go Ron Paul!

It doesn't make any sense, it never has, it never will. These folks are immune to facts and reason.

For that crowd, that's as sophisticated as it will get from now until November. It's going to be God, guns and gays and hate'n brown people turned up to 11. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

There is absolutely no reason for Obama to pander to these people. (I don't think he is.) They will never ever vote for him no matter what he says or does. He's not losing any points in the polls because the AM hate-radio demographic hates him and always has. There are no "swing" voters to lose there. Most sane people are already going to vote Democratic in 2008. The Libertarian NWO conspiracy types at least hate Republicans too, but they won't crossover to Obama.

The good news?
Obama will win in a closer election than it should be if our Nation was sane. The Democrats will make huge gains in the House and Senate.

The Bad news?
The Talk radio cranks will be saying the same shit next year and the next and next...
