Does Limbaugh use Fascist techniques to lead his listeners?

Question

I once read transcripts of Nazi propaganda that was used on radio broadcasts in the 1930's by propogandists promoting Nazi thought. It was horrible how the word Jew or Jews was used: as some form of uniform group of people's that were dedicated on the destruction of thought, business, and proponents of moral decay in the west.

Obviously today's American popular conservative media and their ardent listeners are not advocating the murder of Liberals, but, I am reminded of the similarities, very, very, much. What say you?

Answer 1

I agree. He and the Fox talking heads use the exact same techniques as the Nazi's did against Jews. Except the buzz word isn't Jew anymore, it's been replaced by the word Liberal. Make no mistake about the gravity of this situation. Limbaugh and Fox talking heads are Nazis.

Answer 2

Maybe the left should take lessons, Air America is bankrupt and a ratings disaster.

So why is the left trying to push a "Fairness Doctrine" in congress to force radio stations to take Air America liberal shows, even though they are ratings disasters. Isn't that more "Fascist" by government forcing you to hear what people do not and is also a smack against the liberal mantra of free speech of letting the public decide, I guess they do not want those who privately own their programing have the freedom to chose. But is that because the left knows what is better for you.

my suggestion turn the dial.

Answer 3

Maybe they both used the same tactics that they got from somewhere else. In fact they that is the case. The Nazis, and Rush, and even H. Clinton use propaganda techniques, but these techniques are just a combination for rhetorical forms of arguments, logical fallacies and observations, exploits if you will, on human psychology.

Answer 4

I don't waste my time on listening to that clap trap from Limbaugh, Hannity, or Coulter. Yes, they do use the Nazi techniques whether it is their intent or not. It is obvious by the posts on this board of their listeners.

Hitler and his henchmen were masters at propaganda and propagandists have used their examples as guideline ever since. It was effective then and can still be effective now.

Unlike Germany in the 1930's and 40's our media is not state owned and we have a big enough variety of views that the hate spewed by Limbaugh and the other hate mongers of conservative hate radio can be counter acted with truth and common sense put out by other sources.

Answer 5

So now we're comparing Nazi propaganda radio with talk show host Rush Limbaugh. A regime responsible for the deaths of 60,000,000 people is being compared to the Rush Limbaugh Show. If we were to use your logic, then no one should be listening to anything, because evil is just a relative term.

Answer 6

I love the way that libs throw the words "nazi" and "facist" around like they know what it means! Please! I don't adovocate the murder of liberals, but I confess it would please me greatly to b*tch slap one. In fact, I can think of a few specific libs I'd like to start with now....

Answer 7

Honestly, I think more people that hate him listen to him than people that like him. All you guys do is boost his ratings and interest in him.

If you don't like him, don't listen.

Answer 8

I thought it was a chip implant. It allows Rush to turn off his listener's logic and reasoning, while increasing their endorphins of anger, fear and anxiety.

Answer 9

I think he does...

I also think Rush is a loser...I think he is so far right we can't see him any more...Thank god he is on Radio and not in Congress or some thing,,,

And yo Rush, Donovan Mcnabb is the man regaurdless of his color...you bigot

Answer 10

Yes.

The similarites to Hitler's propaganda radio are amazing.
