: Essentially Contested AmericaFox-News and Rush Limbaugh: Enemies of Democracy
By Robert Justin Lipkin
Nor can civil society tolerate admonitions to game the electoral system by urging voters to cast their votes strategically in an opposing Party's primary in order to help select a weaker opponent in the fall.
This is a travesty of republican democracy, the theory of self-government that embraces elections to help generate the reflective judgment of the community. Strategic voting is anathema to any authentic system of self-government.
If Fox-News and Rush Limbaugh weren't already such monumental disgraces, they certainly are now. While their inmprecations are protected speech, to deny the destructive force of such speech, the people--media, politicians, and citizens--must deny these anti-democratic forces a platofrm from which to attack our constitutional traditions. Shunning them politically may be the only solution.
