Individualist Dittoheads

Speaking of kings, Rush also had some unkind words for Larry. On his program last night, King said last night: “[Y]ou can be individuals as much as you like. … Somebody has got to think for the masses.” This set Rush off, demanding to know at what point in American history has anyone ever thought of the masses. Rush said FDR might count as an example, but look at how people lived under him. Rush expanded on this later on, saying that the “masses” are “you faceless dorks who can’t fend for themselves,” and “elitists” like King who demand that the masses be considered. (This from a guy whose fans proudly call themselves “dittoheads.”)
