You know how the wingnuts are always mocking us with accusations of being victims-snowflakes-selfpiteous?!1 Well, it's more like *they* do a projecting job of their own because they are always WHINING about how they are so disdained, mistreated, and shunned by us mean Libs?
And the "mighty" LIMBOsevic is the #1 practitioner of the fits of self-pity. I started monitoring him when he first was syndicated, when the local genteel talk radio was taken over by him and after him the whole wingnut yak jerk line-up.
So I've noted his episodic fits of self-pity, like what BecKKK turned into actual weeping fits years later.
The one he did today wasn't as extreme as many others I've heard him do. But it was a sample.
*******It goes something like this:
He starts out by claiming that he and his wingnut ilk are SO mistreated by us, that it doesn't matter and never will how much *success* and accomplishments a wingnut (him) racks up such as being the top radio personality ever or how many stations carry him because we Libs will always look down on him. Also, he says, it doesn't matter how much GOOD he does, such as how many MILLIONS he has raised for charity, we will never accept him as a good person, that his extreme philanthropy will never matter. And then the long list of what we will ALWAYS call him and all the wingnut flying monkeys, that we call them racists, homophobic, misogynists, etc.

Why does he care what we think? I mean I know he doesn't really and his little stunts are designed to reach out to his dittohead loser followers to empathize with him. However, if any of them had half a brain they would ask the same question. "Why does Rush care if he is accepted by the left?" Why is it so sad that he can't just be recognized and loved by the other side?
I don't care if right wingers like me. If I were a radio personality making millions by espousing left leaning ideas (YEAH RIGHT!) I wouldn't care one squirt of piss that right wing people did not support me or "recognize my accomplishments.
It is ultimately a strategy, but it certainly shows the weakness of their self concept.
