"Nut job" is just so "Frontier Psychiatrist" . . . "you're a nut, you're crazy in the coconut!" “Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot” true, but not so engaging or amusing as either.

The $$ trillions spent on the bank bail out, 2. The $$ billions for cap and trade, 3. The bail out / state intervention in the motor industry 4. The proposed healthcare reforms which were initially sold to the electorate as 'more coverage for less money'. And we know where half truths for good causes lead to don't we? 5. Quantitative easing ........... (AKA inflation). The unprecedented levels of state intervention since Obama was inaugerated is why the reaction is more muted. Sure the recession has to be responsed to forcefully but these are things not seen since FDR was in office - when Hitler and Stalin were in power as well. Whereas calling George W Bush 'Hitler' is a bit like calling Ann Widdicomb 'Myra Hindley'. So, why has the response to Limbaughs ‘tirade’ been much more muted?
