How could that be? I thought the media was left wing?

Not A job.

I am an estimator and production manager for a business here, in addition to which I hold a real estate license and an auctioneer's license.

I do a lot of charity work as an auctioneer for groups such as the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, a couple of pet rescue groups, breast cancer, and the local food bank. I probably do eight or ten a year.

I have had a formal job of one sort or another since I was 13, and I'll be 57 this coming Valentines Day.

Welcome to the board, BTW. Sit deep and post often.

Yes, the oppressors, the liberal media...according to Fox, that spunky little guerrilla news channel, #1 in the US.

I love that Fox/Rush fans can swallow that apparently pleasant fantasy without feeling a jolt - that they're always oppressed, always victims... it works for televangelists too. Play that fear, play that rage - ka-ching!

SO STOP CRITICISING RUSH FOR HIS NON EXISTANT (he was at one time fat) WEIGHT PROBLEM. He is probably in better shape than most of you.
Have you SEEN the guy lately? I know the camera adds "10 pounds" but he is FAT. BTW, I'm 60 years old and weigh what I weighed when I got out of boot camp at 18, 185# on a 6' 1" frame.

Not only FAT, but a LIAR. Constantly playing "abridged" tapes to make his LYING point. Kind of like his clones O'Reilly and Hannity. If he's so RIGHT all the time why does he edit his enemies tapes.

Trust me, Obama says nothing by accident. He knew it would get big play. This is a black man that got elected in a racist country, with the most POPULAR "News" network spending 1/2 their time campaigning against him. When Obama is stomping Boehner and McConnnells d**ks in the the dirt, he can remind them, "I told you to quit letting fat man lead you around".

I continue to find it odd how much you people - who claim you loathe him - know about him.

Then there are those of us - those YOU people claim are Limbaugh's sheep - who don't listen to him, don't know what he looks like, and don't even pay attention. But WE'RE the ones who follow everything Limbaugh says and does?


It's really weird, actually.

And his airtime and miscues and blatant hatred helped give Obama the election. Thus that is a fair exchange and Obama probably figures if it worked before it will work again in 2012. Rush has a solid fan base but not enough to win with. Thus he becomes the Anti Victory. He should be congratulated as he has really been influencing elections the correct way since 2006. Notice I said correct and not right.

Just like Sarah Palin, we follow her and want to help her stay in the public eye. If it worked before hopefully it will work again. Palin in 2010.

Having Obama in the White House is actually GREAT for Limbaugh! This gives him unlimited material to rant about for the next 4 years.

And if Obama is dumb enough to take another little pot shot at Limbaugh, it'll create even MORE attention for the radio blow-hard.


How do you figure that this is BAD for Limbaugh?

All but talk radio.

What a whiner obama is. Did bush ever attack a private citizen, like mathews or olberman because he didn't like their vile hyperbole?
