"Who Needs High School or College When You Can Listen to Rush Limbaugh"
From the GOP's National Council for a New America town hall meeting with Jeb Bush, Eric Cantor and Mitt Romney. The questioner has obviously been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. He managed to cram in almost every right wing anti-Obama talking point that's out there in a matter of just a minute or so. He also apparently thinks that listening to right wing radio is a substitute for...going to school.

Q: I have another question on education and kind of to disagree with what you said Gov. Bush. I really think the past is important and I think we do emphasize science and math over liberal arts like history and I'm looking at Barack Obama who is basically the hippie flower child of Saul Alinsky who's a long dead hippie. And I guess like, yes math and science are important but what does it matter if you have highly productive people who, because they have no grasp of what's happened in the past, they're willing to let people who are going to create a marginal tax rate of 60 or 70%, I mean they're, is it surprising that Barack Obama was elected and he goes around apologizing in every country he goes to, when people are spoon fed years in high school and college of anti-American history? I mean quite honestly I think people learn more from listening to Rush Limbaugh's show than they do in high school and college. And do you have a response?

Hear that GOP, that's your base. You must be so proud.

These guys who listen to him are so ignorant and dumb and no wonder, they get their education through the rantings and ravings of Limbaugh and company.

8. Their Problem is they re-write the past.
How about this for the "past".

Anything done for the common good, and the good of
all Americans was done by Liberal Democrats sometimes
a few "liberal" Republicans. Oh, yes, they have
purged even Moderate Republicans from their party.

Their Revisionist history is for people who earn
over 75K annually.

11. There they go with "Saul Alinsky" again.
Whoever decided to implant that talking point in their empty noggins did a fabulous job, because its coming out everywhere. Even the dimmest trailor park conservative now is including Saul Alinsky in their cafe banter. They don't have a clue about him but they know the name now, thanks to Talking Point Central.

A fine Imperial Storm Trooper will he make. Move along. These aren't the two Jedis we are looking for.
