Why do you folks listen to his show. I'm guessing he would go out of business if the lefty hate mongers would stop listening. They must make up half his audience as much as they know about him. He has you folks sitting on the edge of your rockers every day while you hope for a gotcha statement to come out of his mouth then you can run off to media matters and spew your venom. It's beyond pathetic.

Probably because his main lemming like audience is easily riled up.
Perusing the topic titles in the political section of CD its quite evident that Rush and his ilk are definitely having an impact on the themes of most topics as hate, venom and vitriol seem to be the order of the day along with the ever present common denominator from the rightwing of "the sky is falling"
Yup Rush Limbaugh as professional troll is a very apt moniker.
As for Liberals being upset at what he says? I'd doubt any Liberals have listened to any of his claptrap in years and really couldnt care less or take seriously what the troll has to say.

Occasionally watching something = infatuated? Reading is fundamental.

Oh, I get it, this is the same technique you guys pulled with Sarah Palin. The more we ridicule Sarah Palin and Limbaugh, the more popular they get right? Yeah, ok, if you say so.

If I don't fall for Limbaugh's jedi mind tricks what makes you think I'll fall for those of his lemmings?

Other right wing hacks, like Hannity and O'Reilly seem to have some sort of interest in dialogue, but Limbaugh appears to be in it just to get people p!$sed

Yes, Rush has found it very lucrative to be divisive and contemptuous of others. What a great job! You get to get wasted on narcotics, then pontificate about what terrible people the "others" are. That's the thing about Rush...he loves nothing more than the sound of his own voice. It doesn't matter that he's an intellectual midget, a liar, a felon and a drug
addict...he keeps people listening because he makes them feel okay about hating other people, other countries and other groups. That doesn't require dialectics or logic, only the permission to freely degrade, belittle and diminish those who disagree with his skewed vision of America. And yes, to express their hostility.

Not me. You couldn't pay me enough to listen to or watch him.

I've caught bits and pieces of him over the years, and from what I have heard, I came to the conclusion a long time ago that he doesn't have a kind or decent or compassionate bone in his body.

Even if he did, you'd have to go through lots of fat to find it.

Then stick on your Foster Grants and buy a used dictionary; I'm not about to "dumb down" the way that I write...particularly when someone tries to insinuate that having a broad vocabulary is a bad thing.
