Con men, like Rush and Beck, are one reason the Republicans are in such dire straits today because they don't care about winning elections, they care about separating rubes from their money. They've discovered there is a fortune to be made by keeping a small portion of America under the illusion that they are always under attack from Mexicans, ACORN, or Planned Parenthood, or gays, or takers, global warming hoaxers. It doesn't matter. They don't want a majority, they want a mailing list. A list of the kind of gullible Honey Boo Boos out there who think there is a war on Christmas and that the socialist policies of our Kenyan president have been so disastrous that the end of the world is coming.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...eir_money.html
I'm not exaggerating. Go to any right-wing website and you'll see ads for prepper bags, for water purifies and survival seeds -- also known as seeds. And for years, Beck, Hannity and other radio hosts endorsed Goldline, a company that sells gold coins to frightened old people for twice what they're worth. Why not just hogtie your audience and steal their disability checks? After all, we are talking about people who will spend actual money on a children's book by a fat adulterer and a peroxide blonde from another dimension.
