RP>On 02-10-98, R.ANDREW HOOTON I declared to ROBERT PLETT:
RP>
RP>RHI>RP>Nine years, eh.  If you want anybody here to believe you've
RP>RHI>RP>listened at all, much less nine years, you first need to 
RP>show you
RP>RHI>RP>know the meaning of the term, "Dittohead".  Frankly, from 
RP>what
RP>RHI>RP>I've seen, you haven't a clue as to what it actually means,
RP>RHI>RP>something that is well known
RP>
RP>RHI>The name "Dittohead" came about after a woman came on and told 
RP>Rush
RP>RHI>"Ditto" pertaining to her agreement to what Rush was spouting 
RP>on
RP>RHI>that particulard day and all days previous.
RP>
RP>Wrong!  The term "ditto" was used by a caller expressing agreement 
RP>with
RP>a previous caller who had praised the show and said they hoped it 
RP>would
RP>never go away, and has meant that ever since.  A "Dittohead" is 
RP>quite
RP>simply an avid listener.
RP>
RP>Neither term is an expression of agreement with all the things 
RP>that Rush
RP>says.  That idea exists only in the minds, such as they have, of 
RP>certain
RP>of Rush's critics, a fact that makes them immediately obvious, as 
RP>you
RP>made yourself obvious by your own incorrect usage.
RP>
RP>RHI>Detractors of Rush coined the word "Dittohead" to designate 
RP>that
RP>RHI>these people, like yourself, blindly follw his spouting.  Rush 
RP>tried
RP>RHI>to put a spin on the detractors to make "Dittohead" an 
RP>acceptable
RP>RHI>term for the Mobius Strip Rush fan club.
RP>
RP>What Rush's detractors mean by it is immaterial - I asked you what 
RP>it
RP>means to Rush and his listeners, and you blew it.
RP>
RP>RHI>I used to say, like most Dittoheads, that Rush was speaking 
RP>openly
RP>RHI>of what I, myself, thought.  I have an adversary on another 
RP>talk
RP>RHI>line that constantly says that but he quotes the Rush Limbaugh 
RP>party
RP>RHI>line as you do.
RP>
Again, so sayeth our God, Rush. Even YOUR writings and YOUR arguments all
belong to Rush.         Bob                                          ---
