    Dittoheads...

    New Dimensions had several articles on Rush Limbaugh. This portion
caught my eye as his show has just started in this area and at the same
time this arrived.

    ND(P 21, August 91): You mentioned the dominant liberal media
culture. That brings up a very interesting point. What we call
"conservative" solutions are, in fact, historically the ones that work.
By any objective measure, they are more logical and scientific than most
"liberal" solutions. They are even more compassionate, in that they
actually work, and make people's lives better instead of worse.
Affirmative action is a proven disaster; welfare state, a proven
disaster; the high capital gains tax has been disastrous for the
economy; gun control is proven to actually benefit criminals and disarm
law-abiding citizens. Yet despite all the evidence, in today's dominant
culture, liberalism somehow manages to hang on to the moral high ground.
How do you explain this total inversion of values?

    RL: Gosh, there are a lot of answers to this, and many of them are
maddening and frustrating. First, let's look at college campuses, home
of the political correctness movement. You've got liberals who came out
of the '60s, who have become tenured, and who are now in charge of
curricula and departments. Then again, which kids go to journalism
school? The liberal idealists. Go to a journalism school, walk down the
hall, and ask the first student you see why he's there, and he'll say,
"I'm here to make the world a better place." These kids have an
activist's views of the media. Conservative kids, on the other hand, go
to business school, and get masters degrees. In other words, they're out
there working. You see this in the protest march for all these years
because conservatives and Republicans are out working. They don't have
time to march during the day."

    Suggestions for book titles for Anita Hill if she decides to make a
movie of her story; "My Left Foot In My Mouth", "Driving Miss Sleazy", "I
Wish I Had 3 Men And A Baby", "Desperately Seeking Clarance" and "From
Smear To Eternity."

    He was selling Congress Insurance to protect us from any silly laws
Congress might pass. The phone number was 1-800-CON-GRAB.
    ...and this plan will be especially viable should "Slick Willy"
somehow manage to slither into the White House in November, so....

------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Now yesterday in Washington, this as you know is the year of the
woman, a bunch of female candidates running for the Senate and for
Congress, gathered in Washington to have a huge fund raiser. They raised
$200,000, and they did it without having a bake sale outside the ball
room as people were walking in. They did it strictly on ticket sales.

    Now I want to read you some of comments that we have that some of
these women made. First off Senator Barbara McCulski(?) stood up (He goes
on to say she's not much higher than the podium itself and only her
forehead showed above. He also impersonates her voice as very rough.) and
says "We must seek our revenge for Anita Hill. We've got to have our
revenge for Anita Hill."

    (...) So they got revenge for Anita Hill on their minds, and just a
brief comment, (...) "If you believe Anita Hill, you are going to be
profoundly embarrassed and surprised when the truth about this woman
comes out." but this is the basis upon which these women are seeking
office.

    Now there was another woman named Claire Sergeant. She is from
Arizona, she's running against John McCain(?). I want to read you what
she said. "I think it's about time we voted for senators with breasts,
after all, we've been voting for boobs long enough." (...)

    We've been voting for boobs long enough... Now she's running against
senator John McCain. Senator John McCain graduated from the US Naval
Academy. He was a prisoner of war in Vietnam 5 and 1/2 years. He received
numerous awards, the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, the Purple Heart,
the distinguished Flying Cross. He lives with his wife and children in
Phoenix, and he's NOT A BOOB!

    If Allen Simpson or John McCain was out on the speech trail raising
money and said, "Please don't send us any more boobs to the US Senate,
and please don't send us people who bring 2 boobs with every person.."
Can you imagine the flak they would get?

    These women show up, make these irresponsible STUPID claims that have
nothing to do with the issues of this country and everybody runs around
laughing about what a good time they're having. There's a double
standard. While these women run around and talk about how unfairly
they're treated, and how unequal society treats them, they get away with
some of the most irresponsible, outrageous remarks that have nothing to
do with the issues.

    Nobody calls them on it.... except me... and will continue to..
(applause from the audience, lots of it...) as long as they make those
kinds of statements.

    One more thing before we go away. This is the year of the woman
right? I live in New York City, this show comes from New York City. This
is the Bethlehem, this is the Mecca, this is the Jerusalem of feminism.
And in the last 7 days, folks, 5 women have sought either a Senate or
Congressional seat from New York State or City. All 5 have lost.

    How can this be (some what sarcastic tone of voice) the year of the
woman? I'm confused? I don't understand? 5 women? Capital of Feminism?
Capital of Liberalism? They lose! We're damn lucky!!! But I still don't
understand it...

    MAKS> Well at least I know why there are Dittoheads. No, not just
this article. With an audience of 7 to 11 MILLION a day, no wonder he's
been labeled "The Most Dangerous Man in America." I like him!
