Rush Limbaugh's Rant

While sitting in class I heard a classmate's computer sound as though it was in a war with someone. The word said with venom was "Obama" The tenor of the voice was familiar and as I honed in on the speaker I identified the voice as belonging to Rush, an old friend of mine.

I heard all kinds of "Marxism, Depression, More Government, big government" I was beginning to become afraid. Then I remembered it was Rush. In the large classroom that contained the male student and me, I felt threatened. Rush's tone was evoking immediate action to anger and I felt like either I should be angry or I should be afraid of the anger. I had to choose because this booming male voice required a response. I remembered it was Rush.

He is paid by stirring up people. He is an agitator. His motto is "Scream at people and they will do what you say and think as you do." This is abuse and only women seem to recognize it for what it is. Other men bond with this fight/anger mentallity to get people to be on your side. It works on the school yard.

Is Rush a fear-monger? Yes. Does he rile the masses to violent thoughts? I believe so. Was I afraid for Obama and fearful of being black? Yes. Is this what this election season will be about? Yes. Should we all be afraid? Yes.
