Rush and all conservative radio hosts love to incite rage and get their followers all riled up. Why is that?
Because their listeners have low intelligence and even the most basic intellectual conversion is far too difficult for them to figure out. They instead play to the most basic of human emotions with hate and fear.

I don't know any conservative intellectuals who listen to him, it's usually the more ignorant "birther" types and less the William Buckley types.
Not in the strictest sense, but in the sense that he seems to engage in trollish activities, such as flaming. It seems like every comment he makes is meant to incite, which seems very trollish.
So is he a troll?
Absolutely. Rush couldn't get through the junior college in Cape Girardeau, so ended up as a sports announcer. He blew that gig, but learned quickly as a talk-show host how to tap into the "Good Old White Boy" schtick. His covert racism emboldened people to indulge, to paraphrase, "the malignant angels of our nature." Limbaugh is to some degree responsible for the deterioration of our social fabric and the dehumanization of individuals and groups of people. He cynically manipulates his listeners, while being a hypocrite of the first order...wonder where he gets the illegal Cuban cigars? Same place he gets his Oxies?

What .. may I ask is intellectual conversion?
Just asking because I find these kinds of conversions .. difficult!

He doesn't even seem to be interested in opening up any sort of conversation or education. It's just trash talking. Kinda like Savage.
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

Geeze .. The use of such big words makes it difficult for those of us with lesser intelligence to follow.
In the future .. could you please use 'littler' words?
Standing in the light of such brilliance .. blinds us all!

We have a socialist man-child as President, so what could he possibly flame that shouldn't be flamed in that direction.

Limbaugh has been flaming for decades, long before Obama, and Obama isn't the only person he flames.
