Rush Limbaugh is Not Polarizing

Last night, Conservative talk show host/ringmaster Rush Limbaugh told Jay Leno that he is not a polarizing figure and that everyone who listens to him agrees with him. Riiiiiight.

His evidence for his claim was to state, "Obama is polarizing . . . look how divided the country is right now."

Watch the video:

But what Rush doesn't seem to understand is that the country really isn't that polarized, especially on health care reform -- a new poll today states that 65% of Americans want a public option and only 26% oppose it.

That doesn't seem too polarized to us.

In fact, on February 27th 2009, Rush stated, " . . .Obama's not polarizing, no liberal is polarizing." So what's changed now?

It seems to us that as hacks like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck begin to become more and more out of step with what real Americans want, their feeble attempts at fear-mongering are not holding weight any longer.

In fact, "newsmen" like Glenn Beck are shifting further and further to the fringe of the right-wing, and as such, make easy targets for late night comedy:

We say keep on talking crazy, Glenn.

The only people who take you seriously are already Republican voters, and after all, we do enjoy a good laugh.
