Limbaugh: How Furious Must Dems Be at Nate Silver for Harry Reid to Publicly Trash Him?

Rush Limbaugh took on the Nate Silver Democratic backlash yet again this week, pointing out that they have to really be furious with the statistician if Harry Reid is publicly speaking out against him. Because, as Limbaugh pointed out, liberals positively worshipped Silver as a god in 2012 who was keeping their very sanity in check, but now that he’s dared to suggest they won’t do so well this time around, they “hate his guts.”

Reid said Silver is “bad most of the time,” and Limbaugh used this to show how Democrats are now just “throwing [Silver] to the wolves.” He said, “They’re claiming that he’s a reprobate, rotgut, glittering jewel of colossal ignorance, no difference between him and human debris.”

And so the man who was a liberal hero in 2012 is now a “traitor,” because, as Limbaugh put it, Democrats can’t stand hearing someone go against their orthodoxy.
