The Usurper: I'm not a big fan of Rush. But do like Hannity but don't watch him much. O'Reilly is my hero. My favorite is Glenn Beck. He used to work for CNN.
BTW, ad hominem is a useful rhetorical style and many people use it. I try not to direct it at the people I'm debating but at those they support (much like you did below although more subtlety). When I said "dumber than rocks" I was referring to the democrats in Washington (specifically) and the democratic party more generally -- the leadership.
I don't think that is any different (an not nearly as bad) as you (and those that hold to your nutty views) when you accuse President Bush of treason. That is what you are saying. You've already come to your conclusion and you've no problem with throwing that accusation around. So you'll excuse me if I don't feel too bad for saying your theologian and any other conspiracy theorists you admire are nut heads, whack jobs, fruit cakes, imbeciles. I could go on.
I do disagree with this, "irrational, yet effective (for unthinking people) tactic of Ridicule." for a couple of reasons. For one, I think ridicule can be effective when one is dealing with lemmings. But a better point is how hypocritical the statement itself is. While discrediting those that would ridicule others, you ridicule them for being unthinking and irrational. So you have fallen into your own hole.
