Name a Republican who takes cues from Limbaugh.

I thought the Limbaugh challenge was to see how many ho hos and hotdogs you can eat in 20 minutes. Looks like Limbaugh takes that challenge pretty often.

The person who asked the question asserted that Republicans take cues from Mr. Limbaugh. Evidence is lacking. Do you have any to offer?

Your mother is smart, its like teaching babys not to eat their own poop. Poop bad!

I HEARD what the guy said, it was played over and over again all over the news and internet....how could someone NOT hear what he said or the manner in which he said it which was sinful and dispicable. That is what the problem was...he didn't just call her a quick name, then go onto the rest of his feeble brained show, he had to go on and on until it became more and more disgusting then he did it again the next day and actually became a PERVERT he was so excited about the thought of that young lady and what he was saying about her. That is beyond sick.

The power of the purse ALWAYS works....I've been boycotting since the 60's.....I know how well it works.

He is beginning to work on our behalf....unknowingly. He's too arrogant to notice.....such a nice Trojan's horse ass.

I agree. I look forward to many more years of Rush broadcasts. He does a lot of good for us.

I'm not a fan of boycotts in general, especially these days when one lame email forwarded x1000000 can convince half the country that something is true whether it is or not.

HOWEVER, I have no problem with anyone contacting Rush's sponsers and voicing their displeasure. There really isn't a question about something when the guys says it himself on the air, over 50 times.
