Rushis what he is, a shill for the far right. He's good at what he does or he wouldn't have survived some of his personal problems or be so dominant. I don't listen to him because there are better talk radio shows out there.
Ed Shultz is a carbon copy of Rush and an even bigger shill for the far left. How anybody can buy his act is beyond me, but hatred and nastiness is extremely popular on the left. Look at Bill Maher, Gary Trudeau, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Laurence Odonnell, Chris Matthews, even creepy old David Letterman. Its also present on the farthest fringes of the far right with Anne Coulter.
But Rush is not a troll.
My head isn't spinning; it would take much more than Limbaugh to do that. I live around people who think like Limbaugh; I grew up with them. Limbaugh somes from a distinguished family in Cape Girardeau, and was lucky to find a calling for someone clearly born without the genes for intellect and propriety.
Limbaugh began his career in radio as a teenager in 1967 in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, using the name Rusty Sharpe.[2][4] Limbaugh graduated from Cape Girardeau, Missouri Central High School, in 1969. Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything", and "he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio. [end quote]
No, he's a professional agitator of liberals using facts. To see he make your heads spin is great.
What percentage of Rush's listeners do you suppose are liberal or democrat or leaning left?
At a guess i'd say its less than 5% and thats being optimistic, so i'd say the amount of liberal head spinning he's causing is negligible,
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?
In a world where Howard Stern is a millionaire because he talks about naked women on the air what do you suppose the goal is? If you guessed ratings and dollars you'd be correct. Rush is no different. He just chooses different subject matter.

Was it a liberal or conservative who started this thread?
I am a conservative and think Rush is over the top. I don't listen to him.

Is Rush Limbaugh essentially a professional troll?
