These people really are crazy. I'd say Fox News wanders the streets picking up homeless people muttering to themselves, but that would be insulting to homeless people. Re-education camps? Tyranny? Fascism? FEMA camps? Now do people get how nutso these guys are? Now are normal, sane Republicans finally ready to marginalize these people and reclaim their party?

As you can see this tyranny thing is being pounded into their head. They are being told we are going to lose our freedom, be stuck in camps (well, maybe just the republicans ). They are arming themselves for a revolution headed by Beck, Limbaugh and the rest.
Originally Posted By ecdc >>We don't have to reclaim it; the crazies have never been in charge.<< That must be why Republican leaders keep apologizing every time they mistakenly criticize the Rushfather. >>Can't say the same for Democrats, since apparently they're taking orders from a guy on Comedy Central who works with a sock.<< Apparently since when? I don't recall any Democrats criticizing Stewart and then apologizing. Or taking orders from him. Examples?
Originally Posted By ecdc For those who didn't want the full segment, Stewart also sums it up beautifully at the end. Why was it, he wonders, when they were in charge, that if you criticized the administration, you didn't love America, your patriotism was questioned, you didn't support the troops, you were criticizing America first? And now that they lost, it's all about how we're headed down the road to tyranny, fascism, and socialism. Wow. These guys sure know all about subtlety.

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <What confusion are you even referring to?> The liberal meme that conservatives take orders from Rush Limbaugh.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Since that was not mentioned in #1, and you came right in on #2 with the broad-brush "Can't say the same for Democrats, since apparently they're taking orders from a guy on Comedy Central who works with a sock," I think it's clear who's confused here. ecdc didn't mention Rush till #5.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 "The liberal meme that conservatives take orders from Rush Limbaugh. " No memo needed, please see public appologies to Rush from Republican leaders. No help needed from the Democrats. Nobody can same the same for Stewart.

Notice that the best they can come up with is the same old stew of fear-mongering and mock outrage. Reasoned argument doesn't seem to exist in their political arsenal. On the other hand, the hannitys and rushes and the rest of the right wing pundits are much more effective at playing opposition. For the last eight years they've had to be apologists for the bush administration and attempt to defend the actions of the GOP led congress. No easy task. So now it's so much easier to demonize your opponent than to defend your own side.
