Why don't you watch the entire Town Hall Meeting @ link above. And everyone should, because the left media will never let their audience know the truth. They either edit it, or just don't allow the audience to hear it. The sickest thing is, the left wing media knows and counts on the stupidity of their own uninformed viewers / readers / listeners. |

OT, I have tried to watch Hannity. The logical twists and projections and lies made my head hurt trying to keep track of the fallacies. Then the attitude, the deliberate arrogance in an attempt to foster stupidity in the audience is pathetic, like watching someone train a chicken to kill. Watching the deliberately generated fear leads to the weak generating arsenals. It used to encourage anger in me, but no more, now I pray for wisdom like rain to fall and each to accept according to their capacity. But expose myself to more of that evil? No, thank you. |

So I went to your link and saw how Rush filled up time in his show. An excerpt: "..I thanked him and went on to the next call and the first words out of that next caller’s mouth (it was a woman) were, “Ditto to what that guy just said.” So “ditto” actually means, “I love the show. Please don’t ever go away. It’s too important. It’s too crucial.” And then part of it also means, “And you’re always right, and don’t stop being.” But it really more is an expression of gratitude for the existence of the show, which I’m sure you meant as well." But it is a, to be kind, a misdirection, to be exact, another out right self serving lie. It's a wonderful example of the practice to *educate to ignorance* that Rush took to a fine art for his listeners. Take a word and make it mean what you want at the moment. Someone listening thinks now they know what ditto means, it means you love the show. Webster: "...the history of the word ditto starts with Italian: some early 17th century English speakers noticed that in Italian, ditto or detto was used to refer to a thing mentioned previously. The Italians had cultivated ditto/detto themselves, with its origins lying ultimately in Latin dicere, meaning "to say," but English speakers were happy to claim it for their own. So great was the obvious utility of ditto, in fact, that English speakers put the word to use in ways the Italians had not thought to do. Adjectival use quickly followed the adoption of the noun use, and by the second decade of the 18th century, ditto was also functioning in English as an adverb and as a verb." |

The video of Rush's show that day describing how listeners started saying Dittos Rush, is quite fascinating considering this current day. And the loss of Rush a few years back. After Rush gets through the Ditto stuff, the caller and Rush discuss Human and or machine elements in the Electoral Collage, during the 2016 election between Trump and Hilary. And why we must keep the human element. BTW I know the word "ditto" was not made up by Rush, just used all the time by callers, to save time. But thank you for the history of "Dittos" origin, I did not know that. But then again, never had the inkling to look it up. |
