Whether you like him or not you have to admit he’s spot on with nearly every issue. Everyone that tries a takedown gets handed their ass....unless you know of anyone who has won?

Rush routinely plays his own sound bites from where he makes a prediction, or a point, and then it comes to pass, EXACTLY as he said it would.

Anyone else do this——“No”

Would You Agree That Rush Limbaugh Is the most astute observer of politics in our life time. [?]

No.

I would say that he is a manipulator. He is not a journalist, but a propaganda mouthpiece.

A couple of weeks ago, in May of 2019, my neighbor had his car radio blasting for some reason, and I could hear Rush Limbaugh, still bloviating about Hillary's emails. In 2019.

Plus, wasn't he the guy who said that predictions about Hurricane Irma hitting Florida in 2017 were fake news, then evacuated his own fat ass the hell out of there?

Doesn't drug addict Limbaugh take a hard line on drug addicts? I.e., wants to lock up all drug addicts (except drug addict Limbaugh, of course).

Rush is very astute. Anyone who thinks he is a manipulator of facts is biased. He is a student of history which helps him understand events and political dynamics. The left doesn't like him because he brings the truth out of the shadows and into the light.

They just assault his character like they do every other right wing pundit.

And I am not sure anyone ever claimed he was a journalist. Sad people don't know the difference.

I listen to Rush on occasion but I can only take so much of him and his "bloviating" (that is a great word to describe him, thanks Ellise) . He is so self serving and the callers only serve to feed his ego. Rush does have his finger on the pulse of politics and he is often correct with his predictions but he is just so smug about it.



He does offer a unique perspective on politics but I wouldn't call him the most astute observer of politics in our time.

Spouting populist drivel and convincing good people it's ok to be bad. One of the most divisive and harmful figures in public life ever.

I would agree that
Rush Limbaugh is one of the biggest, most obnoxious blowhard around.
I guess to his people he is great...good at spewing his propaganda around.
