I listen to talk radio only when I'm driving, and that means tuning in very briefly while running local errands (and then switching channels whenever commercials begin).
Wednesday at around 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time I was startled to hear a caller on Rush Limbaugh's program discussing how demographic change was dooming the Republican Party because of the declining numbers of whites in this country. He noted that 90% of blacks vote Democratic, and 70% of Hispanics and Asians do the same—and added that Rush had ignored this subject for the past 30 years.
Well. Rush angrily interrupted the caller, accusing him of reading from a text and making a speech, something he wouldn't allow on his show. He added that he felt uncomfortable from what he was hearing and was therefore cutting the guy off−and immediately did so.
