plus Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck... Always keep in mind that these guys (and yes, their equivalents on the Left) are not experts in political science and philosophy. They are entertainers first and foremost, and their job is to be provocative. The day they say "You know, today everything is copacetic" is the day people stop listening and they lose their jobs.

Yeah, but is the average conservative (or liberal or just plain "voter") an expert in political science or philosophy? You ever talked to an undecided voter 24 hours before election day? Whether or not those guys are stupid (and I agree that they are), they certainly have a constituency and are representative of a big chunk of the Republican party. Heck, anytime a Republican politician says anything bad about Limbaugh they wind up apologizing for it.
