i have for the longest (well since 2001 anyway) asked myself the question are these folks for real?
Yes, Numan, some of these folks are for real. Beck is the only one I am still ambivalent about. Mostly I decide he is a huckster. I think he found an easy paradigm to swindle people.
I like listening to Limbo when he is trying to spin some topic. He anxiously starts looking around for help, but Snerdly can't help, he starts fumbling with the topic, he may go in one direction and retreat in the opposite, he shuffles the papers of misinformation, starts wildly gesticulating and arrives at some conclusion which he finds satisfactory. Sometimes after a break and after he has thought about the nonsense he just conveyed, he will offer a different analysis which he claims is more to the point. Yikes ... and the ignorant simply swallow this crap
Hannity on the other hand is incapable of mounting any intellectual argument and simply resorts to his litany of lies.
Political paranoia is intellectually debilitating. Once they have entered the realm of the irrational, their only solace is the delusions which shape their mind.
