Sorry, one more example. Here is Rush Limbaugh today on the Hannity show, re: Obama:
"Look, he's my president. The fact that he is historic is irrelevant to me now. That matters not at all. If he is going to enact a far-left agenda -- look, I think it's already decided. Two trillion dollars in stimulus. The growth of government."
OK, first - where are the facts? He uses the term "far-left" like it's a given what that means. Truth is the far-left can't even get a seat at the table in America. Doesn't exist as a viable political force - especially compared to say Europe or Latin America. In fact by calling someone especially centrist as Obama "far-left" it skewes the entire conversation. It frames it in absolute utter bullshit.
One could go further and state the actual facts that the largest growth of government JUST occured under a conservative administration. Ditto for the $2 trillion dollar stimulus program. An administration that Rush championed.
It's just utter bullshit and isn't based in facts at all.
