Vick, and Rush daily runs a "less than honest" radio show that brings votes to one party and not the other... which one has the greater effect in your life? There is a great difference... one lied for 2 hours, one spouts half truths every day for years... yup, there is a great difference.
Colin, it isn't just about "seeing things your way"... there is alot more to it.
I remember last summer driving across the US, listening to Rush (AM radio travels further) and trying not to laugh out loud that anyone would fall for his actions. He was complaining about how democrats had done "this thing" (don't even remember what it was) in the house and how it was a shame, a disgrace, a national tragedy that the minority party couldn't accept their being the minority party and how they whined and called people names and blocked legislations and how they were wasting taxpayers money and keeping the president from running the country. Yet, he forgot to mention that not more a couple of years ago, the tables were turned and the republicans did the EXACT same things... at that time it was "standing up for the rights of every decent american"...
It is high brow horseshit. It is deceptive, it isn't being honest, and it changes how people vote. Considering how small the margin was, it could be said that Rush's "opinions" changed the way the race turned out. I know that Rush claimed that big and loud for months...
Michael Moore can't claim that, now can he?
