They are the both different sides of the same coin.

No, they are not. Rush makes completely ridiculous claims as truth, like Obama is somehow responsible for Mark Sanford's affair of the past year, or that Obama caused the recession. Seriously, I saw clips of his radio show where he actually said those things. I suppose it's a good thing we have proof the recession started before he was elected...

The Huffington Post is admittedly a more left of center news source, but they do not make ludicrous claims like that about the right.

They are no different. But because you are a leftist you can't see it any more than someone who supports what Rush says.

I entertained this idea for a minute, wanting to be open-minded, but I can't see how you can say that and not see the difference. Then again, if what you say is true I will never be able to see that difference. This is a tactic used by both sides, and what makes me wonder if all of us are wrong or none of us are wrong.

Still...really?

It is a reality that no one shares.

Yours, or others.

Neither side will see the others.

It will always be us against them.

You all are as wrong as those who are the same or different.
