Not Limpballs, he always turned me off he was so full of hate for everyone.

But idiots like Laura Schlesinger (calls herself Dr. Laura a fake doctor, gave family and emotional advice, she has a PHD but no medical license) and Dave Ramsey (a Christian financial advisor who scammed people and lost a suit over it.)

There were others who spewed out blatant conservativism, cruelty, hate and bigotry behind giving advice. So, it wasn't just obvious ditto heads who were being fed this brain rot.

It was a concerted effort by the filthy-rich to brain wash as many people as they could. Clear channel took over most of the radio air waves and small stations through out the US. They promoted people like Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. It was everywhere you turned.

And honestly I fell for some of it. Until I found The Thom Hartmann Show. Honestly, if not for him I think I would have fallen under that spell of hate conservatives love to ignite in people.
