Good to know we won’t be seeing you to quote any more right-wing talking points since you won’t just repeat what you’ve heard, base things you say on snippets you see on TV or a blog or just heard from someone else.

Honestly, I believe you do. But I also believe that what this guys says is largely true; that there are a lot of people that don't have the first clue about the guy but think they do because of the snippets they see on tv or on a blog or what they've heard someone else say about him. Is it just impossible for you to believe that people could disagree with Limbaugh? Sean D.
