There are plenty of dummies that listen to Rush (and to most commentators, really, on either side), but I think a major part of his audience is the upper-middle class Republicans that aren't quite rich but managed to achieve something in their lives. These are your arrogant boss, the stay-at-home moms, etc. They aren't millionaires, and most will never be, but they still think the American Dream (TM) is alive and well and that their success is due only to their hard work. Luck, the color of their skin, the station of their parents, etc., means nothing.

LOL!! You libs are all alike! Hey,you sound just like this snob - "And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

I don't like the things Rush says or does (pretty close to hating him), but the fact he can get rich off spouting opinions is something in itself.

He's just good at his 'job' and gets rewarded handsomely for it.

Also how bigoted of someone to insult someone simply because they weigh more then you think they should.
I don't care how fat or not he is. It's his narrow little brain that bugs me!!!!

"Known drug addict Rush Limbaugh had a pretty severe meltdown about a month ago, when he heard that women have lady parts and sometimes they need medicine to make said lady parts act in a manner that doesn't cause them unending horrible pain."

HUH??? Are you talking about, becoming pregnant? Pregnancy is not a disease. When a woman has sex that is the normal course that the body does. If it does not do that then the body is not working right and many go to fertility doctors to find out why their body is not working.

Unending horrible pain----oh please----LOLOLOLOLOL.

I just wasted the time to read this whole thread thinking that I may find something new about how bad Limbaugh is. I found that your OP had quite a bit in it and then it just turned into a let me tell you all the things I have found at Media Matters, Think Progress, HuffPo or Kos so everybody can see them. One thing I found plenty of time was that since I listen to the man a couple of times a month I am really not very educated since only morons do such a terrible thing. I didn't learn one damned thing that left leaners believe about the man since you people have done it all so many times before.

I think I won't get very excited about any more of your bash them threads. Nope I have seen it all more than enough times so won't bother you anymore on Bash Rush threads.

Those libs somehow thought that his choice of words about freeloader Sandra Fluke (her last name rhymes with 'duck') would get him removed from the air.

They wish.

Limbaugh, showing his complete non-understanding of the way sex works, went on tirade after tirade about Sandra Fluke, who he surmised was having lots and lots of dirty sex with lots and lots of guys because she is a college co-ed and also happened to use birth control. Children who were near his publicly broadcast radio show or in the car coming home from school with their republican parents got to listen to an obese 61 year old man fantasise vividly about forcing Sandra Fluke to make sex tapes and put them on the internet.


Here's a fun compilation video that may or may not exist when you click on this link!

Now, in a sane society, Rush Limbaugh would not be listened to by anyone. He's vile, pathetic, worthless, and he has been thrice divorced, not even living in the same house as his third wife. Some would assume the fact that he doesn't seem to know how sex works and the fact that he has no children with any of his four wives, and the fact that he was busted for carrying someone else's viagra back from one of the most horrendous child prostitution capitals of the world means at the very least, his junk doesn't work.

But Rush Limbaugh, despite all these faults, is a champion of free speech. Which is why he has decided to scrub the internet of his ignorant tirades. Is it because his attack on Sandra Fluke cost him a ton of sponsors? Is it because it reveals to people that he doesn't understand how sex works? Who knows, either way, YouTube decided to listen to Rush's DMCA complaint and pull a video splicing together 53 of his most outrageous comments about Sandra Fluke.

Rush is apparently unaware of the Barbara Streisand effect. Demanding someone to remove something from the internet is the sure-as-hell way to get the video blasted on the jumbotron at times square.

[MOD CUT]

Now Rush Limbaugh got off pretty easily, he lost a lot of sponsors, but the heat for his craziness died down and maybe that's why they decided to go after the videos now. I say it's time to turn the heat right back up. Share this on Facebook, pin it on Pinterest, tweet it to your followers if you wanna be so 2011. I think a lot of the people who listen to Rush haven't actually sat down and listened to this. You can't be a human and listen to this without saying to yourself "ugh, this guy is really gross."

Don't be ashamed to call a blimp a blimp, and let people know the truth about Rush Limbaugh. This is the kind of internet activism even the most Limbaugh-sized of people can participate in without leaving the comfort of their caves.
Wow, is this a farce!! Limbaugh is obnoxious, sensational often. He's also got a 'spot-on target' finger on the pulse of most of his issues. Smart man, who is a person needed to inform sooooooooooo many 'Rio Linda' types in America.

Even racist rednecks need a hero to look up to. Rush is their man, 3 chins and all.

Rush is one of the very few voices of reason in the liberal controlled and run media.
