I didn't realize there was ever a time a liberal used the term
"dittohead" as anything but a dismissive insult. Sorry if I
misunderstood you. I certainly don't take offense at being confused
for one. I see no shame in having conservative views, listening to
Rush's show, or agreeing with some of his ideas.

I wish I could remember where the quote came from, but I can't.
Recently a caller to a show (believe it was Oprah, but maybe not) said
something like "I had a harder time coming out as a conservative than
I did coming out as a lesbian."

Admitting you're a conservative or a Rush listener is sort of like
admitting you used to watch Hee-Haw. Millions more did it than will
actually 'fess up to it. And for the same reasons.
