Entry: How Clinton-Hating Dumbed Down the Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/how_clinton_hating_dumbed_down_the_right#16626 Post contents: When the conservative movement let people like Limbaugh and Coulter become its standard bearers, it committed suicide. Gone was the proud intellectual tradition of centuries. Instead we got sensationalism, shrillness, and simplification. Dumbing down to the lowest common denomitantor, to the point that Howard Stern, who never pretended to be more than he was would call Limbaugh a plagiarist. Tell me, what respectable intellectual movement choses as a standard-bearer a Howard Stern clone? I despair of seeing an intelligent voice from the Conservative side, and end up watching Olbermann who is not afraid to appear smart. And then, isn't it ridiculous to harp so much about Monica Lewinsky and the blue dress and Clinton's lies, only to be rejoined that at least Clinton did not lie to get us into an unnecessary war, unlike the Idiot-in-Chief, and how come no one impeaches Bush for those lies?
