No, it's a pretty obvious point. It's easy enough to have 3 free hours in the middle of the day when you've been retired for 15 years

Anyone whether on the far right or left that continues the division of our country is deplorable, IMO.

The real owners of our country love guys like Rush. People like him are very successful in keeping the masses battling with each other while the ruin of our country continues under our noses.

Rush Limbaugh Mocks Chinese President Hu Jintao - The Note
Most people don't understand the rush says and does a lot of things just to get the liberals all riles up. His arrogance as an example. i know people that know him personally and say he is not like that at all in real life.

He is great at satire. He usually takes real quotes and uses them against the person that said them.

he has been charged with saying many things. Most are found to be untrue.

Pep call him racist and quote something he has said. After investigation it is found that either he didn't say it or it was taken out of context. Many of those that hate him aren't aware that his call screener that has been with him ever since he has been on the radio, Mr. Snerdly, is black.

He has black substitutes all the time. So much for being racist.

It goes on with every issue he accused with.

Most who trash him have never read one of his books and have really listened to his show. Yoy really have to listen for a while to understand him. 15 minutes won't do it.

On a personal not, I notice you had one of my posts deleted. Some people can dish it out but, can't take.

He has a huge audience. No liberal that has had a talk show has had anywhere near the audience, and none have lasted very long. There is a reason. Think on it.
Dumb sells. Always has.

He's the poster boy for right-wing talk radio. You either love him or you hate him. I hate him more because he's a prick (and for his mockery of Michael J Fox back in '06) than because of his politics.

Rush is a fat, ugly, extremely shallow, callous, arrogant, cigar-smoking pompous bigot, whose only 'talent' is a big mouth, and the propensity to use it. The only people more stupid than him, are his mindless sheelple followers.

I think Limbaugh is just another opportunist that found a way to make shockjocking really profitable. The man has made so much money in all this, he really has no stake in the stuff he's for or against.

Instead of really encouraging and informing his listeners about how and why the Chinese are kicking our asses economically, he'd rather just resort to childish antics. He's definitely not helping.

20 million Americans is hardly the majority. It's only 6% of the population.
