      The question, Rush, is what it would take to buy yours.

      OK, so according to Rush, Obama is an evil, tyrannical, meglomaniac dictator who will do anything to impose his will on the American people.

      You would think that any meglomaniac dictator who wants someone silenced would have that person killed. Call the CIA, issue an order, and that person will be dead before you can say "Who's more obese, Rush Limbaugh or Jabba The Hut? Discuss."

      But no. In Rush World, the meglomaniac dictator named Obama is SO EVIL that ... he publicly issues an "over the top goodbye" to the person he wants to silence?

        Consistency is not the trademark of the wingnuts.

        Believing opposite things and never seeing the contradiction in their thinking, projecting attributes to others they themselves have--they are striving mightily in those areas.

        Because Rush desperately wants the President to pay attention to him. The President's attention is a huge and valuable reward for him.

          I have stated before on MM that one of the major problems that the right has with President Obama is that they don't get the same kind of blind adoration and subservience from him that they have gotten from republican presidents. They can't call him on the phone, and they can't influence his thinking/actions. Their self-esteem has been dealt a major blow. That the president doesn't respond to their attempts to provoke him into saying something untoward shows excellent self-discipline imho. I think this is what is driving them nuts and causing them to become more outrageous/careless with their rhetoric.

          For example, I think that with every FB post or tweet she releases Palin is screaming to President Obama, "Look at me! Look at me! Here I am! I count! I'm somebody!" I remember that Mr. Moore stated in his article that after she and McCain lost the election in 2008, she went on a rant that included, "We're not good enough! We'll never be good enough for them!" She's correct. As long as she speaks before she thinks and lacks self-discipline, she'll never get my vote. It's too bad that she and the others don't know that his concern for the average American is greater than his concern for them. They'll be okay no matter what he does, but we won't, and the president seems to know this.

      I did hear the president say that he has known Ms. Romer since he was in law school, so the seconds he spent speaking about her were very appropriate.

      What's the price for your silence, Rush?
