Summary
Thom connects the dots between conservative attitudes toward universal health care and equality to their racist, separatist perceptions. ~~~ Author Ian Reifowitz joins Thom- Ian has studied the eight years of Rush Limbaugh's transcripts recorded while Obama was president, and found a story fundamentally tied to stoking racial resentments. ~~~ Thom reads from 'The Tribalization of Politics' by Ian Reifowitz. ~~~ Thom leads a fascinating discussion with callers on the corrosive effect of racism on American culture. ~~~ Thom reads from 'Talk Radio's America' by Brian Rosenthald. ~~~ Plus- did Bolton get caught lying to the British about the danger of the tanker they seized? Iran-watcher and former Republican Congressman Bob Ney of Talk Media News joins Thom with the details.
