What Tom Perkins did to HP's Patricia Dunn comes to mind.

Every time a Liberal is critical and calls him a bigot or racist though... you guys call attention to him..

We all know the lengths some Americans will go to to get attention. Whether positive or negative, the attention is paid and he gets ratings because of that so yes, you guys contribute to his popularity by hating the man

Just ignore him, he is an idiot

Not all of the Rush fans are rednecks, and not all rednecks listen to Rush.

Rush claims to have 15-20 million listeners, do you really expect us to believe it's majority left wingers?

Most of his fans are right leaning. As long as dim witted reactionary yahoos exist Rush will have a following.

The same people who accuse Rush critics of being obsessed with him are the ones who constantly bring up OWS. What's good for the goose is good for the gander?

Reread my post and then comment... you are not paying attention. Libs don't listen to him but publicly criticize him.... that draws more idiots to pay attention because you guys rip him

Same thing with music, tv etc. ...why do you think non talent losers sell records or get viewers? Because of publicity... negative or positive

If a wingnut says we have a spending problem and someone on the left says we have a revenue problem, who is right? Neither is completely right or wrong. Nothing is absolute. The right answer is always somewhere in between.

My opinion is both are right. We need to realign our spending and taxing priorities. Get back to a real progressive tax system while shifting corporate welfare to social welfare. Free markets should need propping by the tax code.

Thank you for correcting your error and stating that it is opinion and not factual data.

BTW, my observations seem to indicate that "wingnuts" are quite plentiful on the left.

Given that there are millions of them and that there are no small amount of them here at C-D, I'd say you should look in the mirror before asking a question like this.
