Is Rush Limbaugh still relevant?

[nehalem256]

LMAO, surveilling and infiltrating pacifist anti-war groups who pose no threat whatsoever (i.e. no probable cause) IS bullying you bitch idiot retard.

Do you even know what bullying is?

HINT: If I don't know I am being bullied, I am not.

Also, its not like there is a history of anti-war people engaging in terrorism...

1970 May: In reaction to the U.S. invasion of Cambodia, Kent State shootings, and Jackson State killings a Fresno State College computer center is destroyed by a firebomb. While reaction to these three events was massive, most were peaceful.[16]

1970 August 24: Sterling Hall bombing at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in protest of the Army Mathematics Research Center and the Vietnam War, killing one. Bombers Karleton Armstrong, Dwight Armstrong, David Fine, and Leo Burt claimed the death of physicist Robert Fassnacht was unintentional but acknowledged that they knew the building was occupied when they planted the bomb.

1970 November 21: Bombing of the City Hall of Portland, Oregon in an attempt to destroy the state's bronze Liberty Bell replica. The late night explosion destroyed the display foyer, blew out the building doors, damaged the council hall, and blew out windows more than a block away. The night janitor was injured in the blast. The crime remains unsolved, though a number of local anti-war and radical leftist groups of the era remain the primary suspects.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you have to bring up shit from the 1970 you fucking bozo. These are PACIFIST anti-war activists, holy mother of god, you retard.

Yes, surveiling and INFILTRATING pacifist anti-war groups IS bullying you god damned retard. Maybe the government should send spies and infiltrate your group, pretending to be one of you, and see how you like it. Holy shit, you brains are literally made of shit.

You made one a US Senator, one of the others a television star.

Neither are strident, bigoted, and dumb like rightwing media personalities, are you that stupid? Yes.

Nowhere NEAR as strident, you idiot, not even the same galaxy. Glad you aren't questioning the fact that rightwing media is bigoted and dumb though.

Do I really need to explain to you why the 1980s and 1990s did not have lots of anti-war activists in the US... ^_^

If they do a good job of infiltrating my group how would I know?

And perhaps more to the point how do you know if a group is pacifist unless you investigate it?

By your "logic" we should be investigating churches, since some of their members have a history of bombing abortion clinincs.

He claimed that anti-war groups were pacifists. I refuted his claim by showing that for the previous major war anti-war groups engaged in terrorist actions.

This does not even get into the possibility of other lesser crimes they might engage in.

Whether or not churches, or certain churches also deserve investigation by the FBI is a different issue entirely. Do you have any evidence that no churches are under investigation by the FBI?

I know precisely one person who takes him seriously. Everyone else seems to agree he's a quack.

So no, not all that relevent.

Well, it depends on who you hang around with. I know a person who takes him seriously too. However, I've also come across various places, small businesses, for example where they have had him playing on the radio and the general impression which I got was that the proprietor took him seriously.

Also, while there is at least one "lefty" radio host who is as strident as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, he is nowhere as well known.

Additionally, I can't think about any talk show host on the left that any political analyst would say instills any sort of fear in members of the Democratic Party....

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politic...publican-leaders-are-afraid-of-rush-limbaugh/

ABC’s George Will told me Sunday on “This Week” that GOP leaders have steered clear of harshly denouncing Limbaugh’s comments because “Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh.”


“[House Speaker John] Boehner comes out and says Rush’s language was inappropriate. Using the salad fork for your entrée, that’s inappropriate. Not this stuff,” Will said.

“And it was depressing because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. They want to bomb Iran, but they’re afraid of Rush Limbaugh.”

Who knows though.

That probably has something to do with the fact that no liberal talk show host has 10 million listeners.

For obvious reasons a talk show host with 10 million listeners is going to be more feared than one with 100,000. Further it suggests that Limbaugh is willing to use his listeners to affect things.

In short to be "feared" a talk show host has to have both popularity and balls. It should be obvious why such people are missing from the left.

 

[zsdersw]

Limbaugh is willing to use his listeners to affect things.

Listeners, drugs, it's all usable to him.

 

[soulcougher73]

Was he ever?

 

[monovillage]

Was he ever?

Of course he is, if not, why would Obama reference him in a speech on 4/28/13 within the first few seconds? Saying that Rush Limbaugh isn't relevant is just whistling past the graveyard for lefties.

Your probably mistaking rank misogyny as having balls (which is not surprising because you seem to consider a woman choosing to have a child out of wedlock abuse of a male)... and it is obvious why there are no left leaning talk show hosts who follow that persuasion.

Fuck off with that shit.

 

[Incorruptible]

I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh but it can be argued that he is still relevant. Why did obama attack him then? Obviously he is a threat to obama which is why he worked so hard to attack him with the sandra fluke incident which was grossly misrepresented. They didn't even use the full quote.

He is as relevant as every single post you have ever made here, which is to say, not at all.

 

[Zorkorist]

Of course he is relevant.

It is, however, getting harder and harder to be economically conservative today.

The Communists and Socialists have won.

I'm downright giddy, thanks for asking.

Just a bit worried that we might have mist an -ist or -ism in there somewhere.

Rush will fill me in on Monday I'm sure...

I had no idea you liked black penis.

who said I liked it? I don't.

 

[Incorruptible]

Why don't you tell me who, on the left, is Rush Limbaugh's, Mark Levin's, Ann Coulter's equivalent. The only hack is you.

It's amazing that someone like Frank Luntz could have so much more self awareness than the fucking bitch idiot conservative morons here on ATPN. There IS no leftwing version of these clowns.

Says one of the biggest hacks on here.
