Rush is not as great a power as he thinks he is, I will agree that in radio, he has about 20 million listners, but that is little when you are looking at a national election. Or does everyone forget how he was going to make sure Obama would not win because he will tell the country not to support him and conservatives will follow Rush to rise up in large voting numbers in 2008 for McCain, great idea but no one followed Rush.

Now what Rush and the rest of the GOP have forgotten, is it is not only Dems losing their homes, their jobs, their retirement accounts and having no health insurance.

Yet all they offer is the same old thing, tax cuts to the top 1%, well if the GOP does not start looking at the people who live in their districts, they soon will find themself with even less supporters.

It's the country that is in trouble, and the GOP think the only people who are affected are Obama supporters, so go ahead kneel to Rush and his rants, no one else in the GOP is saying anything worth listening to.

I agree with OTW, the GOP lost alot of support from their base when they gave up the very things they promised they would not and now think no one remembers

Please list the TV/radio shows they host and the elected Democrats that support them?

You do understand there is a paragraph there for a reason? The religious fanatics I speak of on the left are private individuals I have encountered, not radio or TV personalities. I also do not consider Rush a religious fanatic, just an idiot.

Your reading comprehension needs some improvement. You can get fucking tired all you like. You see I have addressed your specific points, now how many times and topics have you just ignored mine?

You are a cheerleader and that is about it. The best you can usually do is copy and paste an article or say "yeah those are my thoughts.", and this is why I believe you refuse to answer many of the questions presented to you.

The thing is, folks, we seem to have turned a corner with Limbaugh: he USED to comment on the GOP... but now he's setting the tone, and policies for the Republican party. This guy, (whom no one ever cast a vote for, who has never once run for any offical position within the republican party) is now in de facto control of slightly less than half of the United States congress. You don't find this the least bit scary?

How about the fact that this guy who has the GOP by the ring in it's nose is an ex-addict?(Oxy contin, doctor shopping)

Or that he's self-described as a homophobe? (AS he did in 1992, during the Ammendment 2 battle.)

That he stands against a woman's right to her own reproductive system?

That he believes that fully automatic weapons should be available for teenagers. (He said that shortly after Columbine.)

And now, ladies and gentlemen, this fat, paranoid, homophobic, liar... has partial control
of the legislative branch. No one dares to disagree eith him, much less insult him. None of them have the backbone, the swine! (And they dared call the Democrats whimps... but at least THEY can disagree with Keith Olbermann...)

This is NOT going to end well for the GOP.... the question is: how badly will it maim the rest of the country, while the republicans try to find their asses with a flashlight and a mirror?

Vote against those that have the same ideals. If people vote in those that support Rush, then that is the power of their vote. What I find scarier is so many buy into the "us and them" mentality that keeps the two parties polarized to the extreme sides.

FR:

The Rush bashing crowd are absolutely hilarious.

There is so much self-congratulatory bullshit in this thread that a better example of closed minds, of people who criticize without a clue to what they are talking about ... who walk a "party line" of believing what "everyone else" says, I can not think of.

I personally have not listened to Rush for years. I have too much to do, and not the time during the day.

But unless he has changed in the last few years, his biggest shtick is to skewer the liberal branch of politics and philosophy by taking their positions to their extreme, in order to show their absurdity.

And his listeners "get it", while those who rant against him are offended, and then attack him on the basis of his humor. They are an example of the very absurdity that he mocks.

And they all fall for it. His audience of discerning listeners laugh at them, and their attacks.

The more you attack him, the more you prove his points.

Come on. Keep it up.

Firm

Right. His biggest schtick is to deliberately distort liberal positions and then attack the misrepresentations he's created. That's pretty much why people he pokes fun of don't like him - because he's intellectually dishonest and doesn't care how badly he distorts his opponent's position, as long as it scores him points.

Hearing Rush`s girb repeated here and presented as fact is really annoying and a huge waste of time debunking.

Personally,I like that Rush is the party leader. Couldn`t be better news for democrats.

Obama`s approval numbers are going up.This is the trajectory I like to see.

Fast Reply -

I was working at a radio station that had both FM and AM channels. One of the AM channels aired Rush. Now one afternoon there was an engineering malfunction and the switchboard lit up with callers screaming about the show being off the air. I explained that it was an equipment problem and that we would send an engineer out for repairs.
Seems simple and logical, no?

Instead the callers ranted and raved that we (the radio station) were purposely plotting and scheming to take Rush off the air. Huh? That makes no sense what-so-ever.

One old man was so loud I had to hold the phone about a foot away from my ears and wave frantically at a technician to go find someone who could do something about this NOW!

I have no desire to listen to his show or deal with his rabid audience.

While obviously a snarky attack, I'll address it seriously.

The point is that he skewers your beliefs. No one likes their beliefs skewered. However, when it is conservative beliefs skewered, it's just "good fun" and we are suppose to take it.

Many "libs" seem to have a very one dimensional sense of humor. Hell, I'll go even further. Ideologues on either side have a problem with humor that skewers their beliefs. But it's the more "liberal" side that seems to have a higher number of black/white ideologues who can't take a bit of satire.

Witness this thread.

Gee .... what ... maybe 5 callers ... 10? .... 20? .... Out of how many millions of listeners?

And on that basis, "all" people who listen to Rush are "deranged" (rabid) ....?

Aren't you a proponent of the scientific method?

It`s already widely established and old news that Rush distorts anything he can to spin a topic.

You`ll have to show examples of the folks you mentioned doing the same.

And as far as I know,none of those people get standing ovations and speaking gigs at dem events,like the Rush`ns gave him at the recent CPAC meeting.

Oh and Firm,Rush`s defenders are far far more hilarious and provide a never ending stream of comedy material.Only a comic writer could make such crap up.

Rush and the cons provides it for free.I also thank you for the same reasons.

After Steele`s comments,lol,a parade of rush`n brown nosers formed to salve Rush`s ego.Rush trashing Steele after ,was also pretty funny.Awww poor put upon Rush...awwww.

It`s comic theater at it`s finest.

I will just sit back and watch Obama do his job and skewer every belief rush has:) To see him apoplectic is a divine shiver in itself, but then Im comfortable with my ideology.

further condescension will be ignored

Two of the best weeks in radio was Rush`s show when Bill Clinton 1st won the presidency.

And the other best,most entertaining week in radio,.... the 2nd time Bill Clitnton won the presidency.

Oh boy,I couldn`t wait to hear him squirming and crying at noon.And the rush`ns he calls ditto-heads,his listeners?lol.......Hearing their pathetic angry whinny complaints was a comic buffet.

Mega dittos,Rush.

The more we attack Limbaugh, the more we prove his point that we are a bunch of godless commie vermin .

Actually, the more we attack anyone, the more important they become, because of those attacks. Not saying ignoring a threat is the way to go, but by now all the vitriol in the news has probably increased the numbers of people listening to his show, in turn increasing the "base" of listeners, which increases his ratings, increasing his "authoritah" (Cartman; Southpark), and therefore his income potential.

On the other hand, he at least is visible vs George Soros, who prefers to hide in the background and just write checks.

And more people too,will see him as the tumor he is.

They will become informed about folks like Rush, in powerful positions, who don`t have their best interests in mind.

And will get insights as to just what`s out there.An hour of hearing Rush`s listeners should scare the be crap out of anyone w/ a pulse and provide a high impact education.

Folks should know where this whacky shit is coming from.

Personally,I`m for sunlight, full venting of everything and full exposer,so good faith folks can separate the wheat from the chafe.

There`s a lot more Americans interested in things political than in the past.I think that`s terrific for nation and for both parties.

It`s partly because of recent history and also the connectivity that only the internet can provide.Youtube,news outfits, both mortar and brick but also internet based outfits like Politico,Salon,Slate or a rightest one like NewsMax brings the world to us, easily and when we have the time to read.

I thank Al Gore for inventing the internet(just wish he didn`t create global warming) and connecting us all together.

Post all you want. I'm not justifying anything he says, does or believes. Just as I won't justify anyone's choice to abort or keep a baby, anyone's choice to hold candlelight vigils at the execution of a serial murderer or dance in joy, anyone's choice to suck a cock or lick a cunt. Personally I would be quite happy if both sides would shut the fuck up and go on about life.

Since no one is going to do that though, and since every opinion is defended by the Constitution, I have no issue with him airing his in a market that support it.

I gotta say "High 5" on that, Stranger. Seems like some don't want to live up to the First Amendment (US Constitution) except when it applies to their opinions.

This thread just keeps going on and on with no expected value other than a vent space for so many. Maybe we need a "Vent" icon so we know that this is just a bunch of people blowing off steam and hatred so perhaps they won't kick the dog.

Too bad they won't...and they won't get away from personal attacks vs ideological attacks. Oh, and that they can't get over their Bush-hatred. Like I've said before "MoveOn.Org" is really "StuckInThePast.Org" Even though Obama is President of the US.

Of course, we *could* follow the tactics of the "Left" and go on a rant about how Big-eared "Stinky" is now our president. (Stinky...his policies smell...) Or we could have said "B.O. -- his politics stink" or "Big Red" for his "communist associations or "TerrorPal" for Ayers or..."TP, our Teleprompter President" ... the friggin list goes on.
Or we could pick on Al Franken, though that's not really fair...failed comic, failed talk radio host, and can't even win an election without counting some ballots twice and getting "oopsie, left these in my car trunk" ballots.
