Kathy Shaidle has this up on her blog. I’m not a Rush Limbaugh listener so I’ll take his word for the decision to stop using MSNBC clips. I don’t know what sort of ratings Limbaugh is pulling these days, but I doubt his audience has much of an overlap with the nutters who watch racists like Chris Mathews glorify the Klu Klux Klan every night. I’ve tried to watch some of their offerings just for laughs, but it is so over the top absurd I switch off after a few minutes. If I were trying to mock moonnbat culture I’d create skits like Hardball and characters like the mentally disturbed lesbian.  I suspect a fair bit of their audience is made up of people looking for clips to post on right-wing sites.

Anyway, the ratings collapse is something. The public appears to be growing weary of the lunatics. This happened at the end of the last round of crazy in the late 1970’s. Even hod carriers in the press corp were openly mocking Jimmy Carter by the end of his term. Anecdotal evidence suggests ObamaCare and the stagnant economy are wearing down public support for the crazies. The health insurance madness is probably the biggest factor. Everyone seems to be talking about how they are getting screwed now.  Throwing people off their insurance and jacking up the rates even higher than in the past is a good way to piss off even diehard Obama voters.

These liberal spasms seems to have a defined end. By the end of the 1970’s, the public had put up with riots, war and stagflation at the hands of ridiculous posers and filthy teenagers. The staggering incompetence of Jimmy Carter was the finishing touch on that liberal spasm. Maybe the looming disaster of ObamaCare is souring the public, maybe it is just fatigue with a stagnant economy. It is probably a combination of things, but this spasm is running out of steam and it is showing up in the rating of the Moonbat News Service.
