The rats’ success in these efforts depends almost wholly on the joe-sixpack public’s ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills.

I believe that liberals depend heavily on a low threshold of endurance in the general public for the disquiet which agitation on certain issues brings. If they have the support of the media, the impatience with the public will run in favor of the Liberals. I think we're seeing that right now and health care. I believe ultimately the public will just say, enough already, finish it!

I think that's why we saw so much front-page prominence to the alleged tortures at Abu Ghraib on the New York Times.

I think we see that in the Limbaugh case. If Limbaugh is attacked time and again, , no matter if the attack is baseless, eventually our Joe sixpack says, enough already from this guy. That is the real danger for Limbaugh, the public will not consider the facts of the matter but only seek to be relieved of the bother.
