Micheal Steele said it best, the man's an entertainer. Nothing more, nothing less.

Which he then apologized for I believe.

I don't find him entertaining unless you consider self absorbed bullshit entertaining.

He should know because he is an entertainer too. I always have a HUGE grin evertime he opens up his mouth.

Total BS. He's a political influencer (supporting evil) who tries to be ientertaining.

How do you keep listeners of a discredited idiot from abaondoning him a little longer? Tell them that the critics are really ignornt people who have never listened to the guy.

Bonus points for attacking the 'liberal media', repeating that lie as the 'big lie' technique demands, who make up the 'lie' that Limbaugh is as bad as he is.

Wonder how many Limbaugh followers have listened to the Thom Hartmann radio show?

A little longer? As in, like - the 21 years he's been broadcasting his show? Yeah, the article is full of ridiculous rhetoric, but 'tu quoque' is hardly a rebuttal. Much of the clips of Rush that are paraded through the MSM are taken pretty far out of context.

Surprisingly, I sort of agree with you on both points. As I wrote that, I realized that Rush has very long-time listeners and isn't in much danger of being cancelled for low ratings.

Rather, I was referring to the issue I think exists for some of his listeners who are more likely to get a clue, and I'd like to see that number larger than smaller.

It does seem to me that his foundation is weaker and weaker as he defends gargbage that's not as easy ro defend as when his side has a lot of power. Frankly, I think some of the psychological elements in why people listen to a demagogue like him are threatened when his team is out of power, though I admit as well that there are other factors that can help him keep them, such as if hey can make them afraid of the Democrats instead of being drawn to them as strong, the way such people under JFK between being passionate enemies of JFK and followers of groups like the John Birch Society, and those who supported JFK, as shown by polls I'seen reports of where a much higher percent of people claimed they voted for JFK than actually had.

For the hopeless Rush followers, there's not a lot to discuss.

On your second, point, Limbaugh is despicable, but I have seen where some of the attacks on him did indeed appear unfair and 'out of context' and I've defended him on at least one.

That one I clearly remember was the one where he wanted to see America go down under Obama, which isn't what he said or meant at all, but it was widely used.

While we disagree vehemently on several issues, Craig, I find more and more that we're not so different. Thanks for the reply.

Such delectable irony...

Rushology 101, Ryan. How many times have you heard His Imperious Corpulence say, "Now, let me tell you what he really means..."? Rush seems quite able to read the minds of the Liberals and interpret them for his faithful dittoheads.

Another Limbaugh contradiction in terms in "Rushology 101, Ryan. How many times have you heard His Imperious Corpulence say, "Now, let me tell you what he really means..."? Rush seems quite able to read the minds of the Liberals and interpret them for his faithful dittoheads."

But but but, if Rush is correct in saying Liberals are mindless, and only follow the marching orders of Lenin, Stalin, Hillary, and Obama, then Liberals therefore have no minds for Rush to read.

I have always wondered about Limbology. AKA the study of idiots named Rush Limbaugh.

 

[child of wonder]

BOTTOM LINE:

ANYONE who listens to pundits -- left or right -- is a tool who take the ENTERTAINMENT these people offer at face value. These loudmouth pundits laugh all the way to the bank while morons religiously defend them, buy their books, and their opponents holler in the media about them.

IGNORE THEM AND THEY WILL GO AWAY.

did Rush really say "In Obama's America, the white kids get beat up by the black kids who stand there cheering?"

Limbaugh is a great test for how stupid one is. If you defend him, you're a moron, plain and simple.

Also, sig (http://rawstory.com/08/news/20...need-segregated-buses/ if you think it's 'out of context')

Was waiting for this.

Great. Your sig has a quote out of context, so you link to an article, which you say is in context, which is out of context.

Read the transcript sometime, and you might figure out that the entire quote was deliberately supposed to be racist. It was sarcasm, Phokus.

What about his comment about Donovan McNabb being overrated because the media wanted a good black quarterback?

And the media wanted a good black president even though BHO is overrated.
