This silly poll shows something the creator had not intended. It shows how many liberals are on this Forum.

With Rush being the number one radio talk show in the country, it is obvious that the vast majority of Americans have a positive view of Rush. And why would that be? It's because he is right. He is honest, he dishes up the truth, and he is very well informed and insightful.

But the libs want to cling to their uninformed positions, and watch idiots like Chris Matthews, Katie Couric, and the rest, who parrot each other daily, and who haven't had an original thought in decades.

Is it any wonder that the liberal media lacks the kind of audience Rush has, or Fox News, for that matter?

Not at all...It shows how many think Rush is a rude misinformed moron...I don't have to be a liberal to figure that out.

Since he is the Number 1 most listened to radio talk show in the entire country, it would seem like there are a majority of Americans who disagree with you and the rest of the libs on here, wouldn't it?

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.
Rush is exactly like Faux News...every right winger goes to them and nowhere else. That's why they have the audience they do.

Huh? What makes you think he's leaving the country? Why would he do that? He has never even hinted that. See, you libs make stuff up.

Well when you think about it Rush and the folks at Fox News really do have great jobs. They can just make things up all the time without the pesky burden of proof or fact and without thinking too much

I doubt the poll talk about liberals, so much as those that rose to the bait of a Rush Limbaugh poll.

As for Rush, I find him to be an mildly revolting, sneering, hypocritical blowhard, who excels at spinning any situation to the same source. A multibillionaire who can ape the poor white man's indignation better than anyone. I doubt he believes 1/4 of what he says; it is all in a days work.

The man has talent though. His voice is clear, he rarely skips a beat, and sometimes he is pretty funny. I had to chuckle one day when I was listening to him on a long drive. He somehow started off talking about how Obama, and Alena Kagan were such academics and intellectuals that they were horribly qualified for their jobs, and on it went for 30 minutes or so. I had to be impressed on how he could turn obvious intellectual credentials for immensely important jobs into a source of scorn. I think he knows that most of his audience is of low educational attainment, so playing them off as the Ivy League elites was a shrewd play! Now, I would very much like to hear what he said when John Roberts or Antonin Scalia were nominated. I am sure he was fawning on about their intellectual mojo...

I have to admit, the dude is one of the greatest bull**** artists in the world.

It almost makes me want to watch...almost.
Almost?

What you don't know, of course, is that the pro was very delighted to work with Rush (he, Rush, was invited), and they were very pleased with the results of their instruction.

But, you'll never say that ... right?

Shock, surprise.

Most people can not listen to talk radio during the day. Most liberals, who are often college-educated, don't feel the need to listen to a bloviating ass every day. That is why liberal talk radio fails. We get bored to death by listening to some ranting bozo. I bore myself. I love my wife becase she sweeps the floor with me in arguments all the time. And guess what? I learn something new!

Discussion is a much better way to learn than to listen to paid schills like Limbaugh. I always wonder what possesses someone to listen to a spin doctor like Rush who does their thinking for them. It is like intellectual baby food.
