Do wingnut pundits (radio & TV) really believe the crap they're selling?

[Cyrano]

Or is it just a convenient way to make megabucks?

The few Dem pundits you see or hear on radio or TV are usually columnists who go on these shows for -- well, I really don't have a clue why they'd take part in a food fight being run by thugs.

And I'm not sure how many right-wing pundits actually believe the slime that spills from their lips. But as far as I can tell, there are only two explanations.

(1.) They really believe it.

(2.) They're opportunists making big bucks by feeding shit to fools.

If people like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter, Hannity, Savage, and so many others really believe it, they're among the dumbest people on the face of the earth. And if they don't believe it, they're whores.

So what's your opinion about people like this? Do you know which are whores and which ones are just plain idiots?

1. I knew one of Coulter's exes, and she is a bona fide hypocrite - especially on moral issues.

She doesn't give a rat's ass about the prolife issue but she sure pretends to for the GOP ba$e she'S been fleecing for year$.

2. i think most are laughing all the way to the bank.

they know what fools their listeners are.

3. Even one RW host I've heard locally says Insanity is full of it

He makes jokes about the guy not believing half of what he says ... ?

4. Of course not. They're not stupid.

They are only amoral SOB's going for the big meal ticket.

5. In a way, who can blame them?

The Right are so gullible and weak minded that it's pretty easy money...

[Cyrano]

8. I can blame them. They're doing far more than making big bucks. They're

undermining democracy with every lie that comes out of their mouths.

The gullible and weak minded need to be educated, not exploited.

[gatorboy]

10. I agree with you.

Except on the education part. Some are educated. It's the built in bigotry of these people that the pundits feed on. Which makes most of them a lost cause.

6. Of course they don't believe it. Even the religious honchos don't

believe what they spout.

7. Coulter Minions

I joined Ann Coulter's forum...just to lurk...after the mid-term elections because I wanted to watch their little pointed heads spinning off.
I'm from Texas. We have Klan Klavens and I was still shocked at the shit that comes out of Coulter's mouth and even worse, her minion's. Those people are truly insane. I showed some of their posts to a couple of shrink friends of mine. They said Coulter and her minions are mean-spirited narcissists suffering from arrested development. Sounds right to me.
...and obviously, with my leftist conscience, I couldn't really just lurk and so now am banned...<g>

9. They're opportunists

who'd sell their own mother to a glue factory if they could make a profit.
