Sure Sykes and Ziegler provided for a very valuable piece of historical documentation. I want to applaud your work on this one. <br /><br />The fact they are doing this out of "never Trump" and have faced the wrath of their lemur listeners. The ones they nurtured into hate mongers and found Trump performed a hostile takeover of their investment of this hate on demand they took for granted.<br /><br />The old adage, 1st I recruited the willing with falsehoods and told them Democrats is to blame for all their earthly ills. <br />2nd, I gave them liberals as their next enemy to harass.<br />3rd, they began coming for random progressive enemies on their own and I enabled them and gave them comfort.<br />4th, The trains to the concentration camps were running on time. Until, a Pied Piper<br />turned me into the enemy. With no other conservative media to turn for help.<br /><br />5th, As a political refugee I turned to the liberal main lame stream media I spoke vividly to hate and never trust. I turned to the enemy for appeal.<br />Because their was no liberal, progressive radio/ media left to help.<br /><br />Sykes has stated his listeners turned on him because he is "Never Trump". But Sykes is a big reason Walker and his wrecking crew were mobilized. So Sykes tries to tell his following audience (hate mongers) "facts". Which they are incapable of hearing. Let alone considering. Trump is not a true conservative. Sykes Of course, being the true conservative Poohbah. But they were -edumicated- by sykes of being a good conservative? They (his listeners) don't trust me and there is no one media that they will listen to as a source of fact. He is only conserved they do not look to him for the final word. Fall from the golden throne must hurt. Sykes advertisers anyways.<br />I guess sort of like explaining climate change to science denier (for Christ) james Inhofe. or, when the blue eyed blond haired superior race noticed Hitler did not fit that description and began to question it?<br /><br />This piece delivers important insight of the corporate/ republican long term agenda at destroying political opposition outside of the ballot box by any undermining means.<br />Your tip jar button inviting.<br /><br /> Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-16128109823739293862016-08-25T01:35:24.976-05:002016-08-25T01:35:24.976-05:00RUKidding said...

I can see I am not the only one Sikes ,Ziegler, Hannity et al spent their pre paid contracted Free Speech careers trashing, undermining, questioning our patriotism and demonizing as a "hate bullseye".

Mainly trying to say that Sanders supporters are EQUALLY as crazy and chaotic as Trump supporters. Give me a break. I voted for Sanders, and quite honestly, I wasn't that upset by most (not all) of their behavior at the D convention. These people had some justified concerns, and they voiced them. That's what's supposed to happen in our country with the First Amend amongst other things. Party conventions can be raucous without dwindling into chaos, which is not what happened.<br /><br />Let Sanders supporters push for what they believe in. Frankly, I welcome them with open arms. What are they pushing for? Better banking regulations? Like this is comparable to shrieking about building a Wall between us and Mexico?? I won't bother to go on.<br /><br />Yeah yeah, a couple of these greedy rightwing cesspools have had some kind of Come to Jesus moment, but they're all Shocked!! at this very unusual and utterly unpredictable "transformation" of their party's voters <i>over the past twelve months</i>. Cut me a break.<br /><br />Just witness these same droogies shrieking and ranting at Town Halls in the summer of 2009 demanding to get their country back from the horrid CommieMarxist Kenyan Usurper. These are the SAME frickin people that the Kochs paid chump change to astroturf into believing... well I frickin don't know what they were supposed to believe. And I'm sure this Charlie Sykes and John Ziegler were in there riling these racist bigots up to go to their weird astroturfed "grass roots" rallies and yell about whatever the hell it was they were yelling about. Really it didn't matter. It just made a lot of noise and a lot of cashola for the likes of charlatans like Sykes, Ziegler and their ilk. All of them GOP-fluffers. All of them inciting the mob to be racist shitheads.<br /><br />Now suddenly Sykes and Ziegler can't believe how these Republicans are behaving? What? After 8 frickin years of the GOP obstructing every single thing because a darkie's in "their" White House... refusing to even meet with a lawful nominee to the Supreme Court because the darkie Democrat nominated him? Delegitimizing everything and anyting the D party does based on the notion that ONLY the GOP can RULE the country, even when they also espouse the notion that they HATE the govt and it should be drowned in a bath tub?<br /><br />Ziegler and Sykes are surprised at the rabble THEY roused? They can kiss my heiny and STFU for the good of the nation.<br /><br />And yes, all the pundits listed should be shorn of their hair and put in stocks and made to atone for their dreadful Anti-American behavior. These are not patriots. These scum sucking bottom dwelling parasitical whores, who I hold fully responsible for the reprehensible MESS that we are presently calling a Presidential campaign, where the GOP candidate is clearly unhinged and clearly not all competent or knowledgeable or capable to be the US President. Thanks for sweet fuck all you lousy bastards.
