The only reason I watched 10 seconds of this is because it popped up on the main page. I'm far from a liberal, but anyone that listens to this guy, glenn beck, or ANYTHING on Fox news you really just need to go and kill yourselves and let people with a ounce of common sense take over.

People actually believe the things these hosts say? How sad.

The only thing Rush got right was when he said "We are fascists", now if only he had said that in 2001-2008 when the government was.

The problem is that modern liberals don't act like your dictionary version of it. Most versions of fascism come from the left, like Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Pol Pot, which lead to Socialism and Communism over a lot of dead people.

[minnbassman]

So what exactly did these two men say that wasn't true? I do enjoy the obvious editing to make it sound worse than it is, but what is factually wrong with their comments? Interesting that you use "the two minutes hate" as your title, stemming from 1984, as it warned against Communism and Socialism, which seems to be what you at Media Matters are all about. Is it supposed to be funny or true?

Hateful things about Bush? ahahahahahaha. The truth can hurt sometimes. What the conservative media is doing against Obama is hating him just to hate him. They want him to fail.

Queens, that was completely hypocritical. Lets entice violence against people enticing violence... Rush, Savage, and the like at Fox News need to be stopped... but in a civilized manner.

[Steve197201]

Gee, it's funny how you liberals didn't seem to mind when you were saying hateful things about President Bush during his term in office (and that was real hatred, not the common sense commentary we hear in this video). You guys are a bunch of loser hypocrites. Get a life.

These dudes are fuckin crazy, I mean they are totally misleading people. Man, the media in America is fuckin crap. It is misleading, they lie, put out innuendos, and are pretty partisan. MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News are all a bunch of douches. Whoever listens or watches these fuckin networks are being uninformed. What a fuckin tragedy. The only beacon of light, PBS. Hope they don't fall on the kind of crap the cable networks do.

[QueensNewYork7]

All these guys should be shot for treason and inciting dumb hicks to violence.

[skovronek16]

Rush must be psyched to have a democrat back in the White House. This guy profits a lot when Democrats are in the White House. Without foils he doesn't have a show.

"[Fascism is] a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti-conservative nationalism."-Roger Griffin, academic political theorist

Liberalism is a broad class of political philosophies that considers individual liberty and equality to be the most important political goals.

Do these people not have access to a dictionary or encyclopedias???
