Lawrence O'Donnell, as is the norm, has his typically riveting and intelligent program tonight.

In watching the very informative discussion between Lawrence and Robert Reich and Howard Fineman, I was struck by something....in the midst of these highly intelligent and ethical men, correctly lamenting the illogic, insanity, and fundamental deceptions of rightwing economic cant, it was not mentioned that the principle reason why illogical, insane, and untrue policies have a constituency in the USA, is that Low-Brow, Rightwing, Talk Radio has its finger on the scale.

And if Trent Lott could see this 5 years ago, we should see it now and recognize it for the ubiquitous and profoundly destructive influence it has on driving the USA to ruin, as it is the primary force behind building a constituency for insane and evil policies, even as intelligent and good people in the USA underestimate the weight of its finger on the scale.

Much of this talk about "violent rhetoric" misses the larger point. Yes, there is much violent talk, but do not allow the focus on the specific calls to violence, ie, sharron angle'a disgusting and fascistic reference to "2nd amendment solutions" to divert your attention from the real thing that inspires fascist assassins, which is the manipulation of their audiences via the unyielding stream of inflammatory outright lies that would get the average listener riled up, let alone a mental case !

For months radio lout Steve Malzberg screamed 10 times a day that "Folks, Barack Obama HATES! this country and his WIFE HATES! this country".

And when for over ten years, every day, Hannity couldn't survive a fact check in the average kindergarten class, and when he violated Abner Louima with the equivalent of a verbal plunger after Louima had been worked over with a physical plunger, that was nothing else but Vile Poison.

Prior to low-brow, rightwing, dishonest, and hate fueled talk radio, the political culture of our country would have prevented Joe Wilson from screaming insults at the President of the United States in the midst of an address to a joint session (or anywhere else).

THIS IS AMAZING---FROM 1999 WHAT SCHUMER AND SUMMERS SAID ABOUT DE-REG !

Next time you see Charles Schumer denouncing the GOP for financial deregulation, SHOW HIM THIS !

Both he and Lawrence Summers both waxed triumphant in joining the GOP in the Rape of the American Economy.

So what happens?

Obama appoints Summers his chief economic adviser, and Schumer postures as having been against what he was ardently championing !

More pointedly.....GOP RICHARD SHELBY VOTED "NO" !!!

Liberal pundits seem to have completely and incredibly forgotten that Hans Blix and the weapons inspectors were ever sent to Iraq.

This is an open letter to Joan Walsh, editor of salon.com, after watching her (and Chris Matthews and the other guests) miss the point totally in the matter of Bush and WMD.

Dear Peter,

As somebody who has spoken to you on the radio in the past I was frustrated by Chris Matthews' failure to challenge your empty and deceptive boilerplate (a too polite term) in the matter of public health insurance.

As you unburdened yourself with the standard GOP bullshit about "government bureaucrats" being put in charge of healthcare, Matthews correctly confronted you with a polite demand for you to explain what you meant. You hastily retreated to a wind storm of comically panicked subject changing from which Matthews never recovered, enabling you to escape for the millionth time from even this minor scrutiny of your transparent (to a person of normal intelligence) and utterly immoral disinformation.

Specifically: In asserting by deliberate indirection that the choice confronting Americans is one between "government bureaucrats" directing medical decisions as opposed to citizens making medical decisions for themselves, you are being deliberately false.

All the fine progressive, ie., Truthful, sites and all the inspiring progressive speeches have been and will be for naught so long as low information voters flip on the radio in the car and think the Pure Filth at the link below is "News".

The underlying pathology of the American political system for the last 20 or so years is the Low-Brow, Right Wing talk radio of deliberate lies and dirty smears personified by Sean Hannity and his friends. These idiotic and morally diseased "shows" are nothing more than garish advertising in support of a political agenda of plantation economics, racism, and 2nd grade level fantasies of world conquest resulting in humiliation and mass murder of innocents as well as American soldiers.

The first question of the "debate" was "knowing what we know now, was it a mistake to invade Iraq?"

Romney ansered that we invaded because "Saddam did not allow the IAEC inspectors into Iraq.

This is, of course, a Total LIE !

Neither Blitzer not any of the other Republicans correct this rank disinformation.

Blitzer is a disgrace.

Many of the pundits and activists who went crazy when Don Imus made his offensive racial remark can be heard routinely yukking it up with the rabidly lying, low-brow, right-wing "hosts" who have brought about the degradation and humiliation of the United States through their willful dissemination of rank propaganda and their smearing of any leader, politician, commentator, or citizen, who dares deviate even one centimeter from Karl Rove's officially embossed neo-con orthodoxies.

As an American I Apologize to the entire world for the Cheap, Common, Lying, Fool who has pilfered and retained through trickery and LIES, the title of president of the USA.

I never thought I would say that I am ashamed of my country....but I say it now with Defiance, Anguish, and the most intense Indignation born of shame.

I am ashamed of the system of "education" which discharges blank slates of indoctrinated and obedient and arrogant clones of "conservatism" into the world, making it a worse place for normal humans.
