The past couple of months, I've gone back to listening to all the AM talk shows (not Laura Ingram - they have moved her from her morning time slot. Not sure when she is on anymore, but that's OK, she got on my nerves). It just cracks me up to hear these folks and all the kool-aide drinkers that call in. Today, I heard some guy say that the reason the market/economy is going down the tubes has nothing to due with Fannie/Freddie or sub-prime or credit or the like. The reason? Investors are worried about Obama being elected. According to this "expert", you can tie the collapse in the past few weeks to when it appeared that Obama was going to win. As that became more and more likely, investors are selling more and more. And of course, the host of the show agreed with him.
It also seems as if all the radio hacks have gotten the talking points to stop calling Obama a liberal. That isn't extreme enough, Now he is either communist, a socialist, a terrorist or some combination of the 3. It's so obvious that the word has gone out to change the labels en mass it's funny.
However, it's not funny enough to keep me listening. I can't take it. And even if I agreed with the far rightie mentality, I don't think I could listen to this stuff all day, every day. So I'm back out....I'd rather listen to Dallas Cowboy talk, as sickening as that is.

That there is some subsonic secret rightie network in which talk show hosts and others are given their talking points is an old leftie paranoid fantasy. I wish we were that coordinated. Having said that, is there an echo chamber effect? Yep, just like there is on the left.
What I don't understand is that somehow the left ALWAYS has talking points when 2 or more people say the same thing. Hell, Hannity always throws out "talking points" to anyone on his show. But, the right never has talking points. I guess everyone on the right just says the same things, uses the same terms on the same day all on their own. Please....
Don't ask me to defend Hannity bc I won't. Hannity doesn't speak for a lot of us.
