27. That's where it got a BIG shot of adrenaline. Hate radio.

Allowed to metastasize all over the country from the poison excreted by limbaugh at one station - that suddenly got great ratings (so the resulting conclusion from management and friends in national programming - CLONE THAT! Spread it EVERYWHERE! Either by piping his show in over some network servicing all the small markets in America or replicating him with some cheaper local sound-alike/rant-alike). Easy ratings, and VERY easy money.

And the "great unwashed" folks who finally found THEIR views showcased by the big fat loudmouth on the radio suddenly felt justified. THEY were the mainstream. THEY were the coveted demographic. THEIRS was the "opinion of record."

WRONG!!! They were just the loudest. And they LOVED-LOVED-LOVED having that reprehensible, un-American, resentful, grievance-nursing, hate-everybody-who-doesn't-look-like-me mindset "legitimized" - given validation, a voice, and a seat at the table. When it should have been kept in the back corner of the basement closet in a taped-up file box, where it belonged.
