re: #94 HappyWarrior

You know what a lot of it is, I think? The Bubble. One Wingnut I know talks about hearing Rush on the radio for the first time and thinking, “Hey, this guy says what I’ve only been thinking!”

So, the problem is that prior to the advent of Rush and Right Wing Hate radio, a lot of proto-wingnuts didn’t have anyone to validate their hatred and bigotry. The Right Wing Noise Machine not only provides ‘evidence’ for them that everything is as they think it is, it also makes it okay to think and say things that you really should be ashamed to have thought.
