Psychological projection

Limbaugh got to talking about how the left likes to kick him around.  Rush is really proud of that, but he shouldn't be.  Rush is really not the ticket, ya'll.

Here's why.  The left likes to kick Rush around because he really is a "harmless little fuzzball", just like he says he is.  Rush isn't going to hurt them.  But deep down in their heart of hearts, the left knows that the Mohammedans will cut their throats.  Because of this fact, they are scared absolutely shitless of the Mohammedans.  Because of their very great fear of them, they cannot stand up to them.  Thus, they need something to rage against, because they know deep down in the heart of hearts that something is really wrong, then they see Rush and Rush is their perfect scapegoat.

Psychological projection, or more accurately in this example, psychological displacement, occurs when an object of fear cannot be faced, so the fear is displaced upon a harmless object.  An example is the guy who cannot stand up to the tyrant boss, so he goes home to kick the cat.

Rush ain't the ticket because he cannot snap the left out of their funk.  Only somebody who they fear even more than Rush or the Mohammedans, can do that.

They don't really fear Rush, cuz they know he won't slit their throats.  Rush is also too fond of his gig to really risk his show and become a REAL political threat to them.  He's perfect for their needs, and frankly perfect for Rush, because he can pretend to be a hero, while not being anything like one at all.
