Yes, Rush Limbaugh is a lot like Jim Jones. George Bush was a lot like Hitler. America treats its illegals just like the Nazis treated the Jews; and when I was 10 years old, my teacher was just like Atilla the Hun, and my father was the meanest man on earth....
That's like saying conservatives hate Olbermann because he exposes the conservatives schemes and lies. Do you realize how rediculous that sounds?
Well, then, why do you hate Rush? There must be a reason. Spell it out. I think it's spelled, "c o n s e r v a t i v e" though.
The man has a great radio show, informative, with good commentary from a conservative perspective. Rush, Sean, Glenn Beck and the handful of other Conservative "talkers" provide the necessary balance to the leftist garbage that we get bombarded with everywhere else.
You don't like him for exactly the reason I mentioned, and for no other. That's why you refer to him as a "blowhard".
Liberals aren't satisfied to have an opposing point of view on the air. Especially someone with an audience the size of Rush's. They do not like the 1st Amendment if it means opposition to their agenda. This is why they want to shut down conservative talk radio, and they are going to try to do it. But any attemp they make to do so, I think will be there undoing.
Who is "Olbermann"? Perhaps a liberal "blowhard"? I don't know who "Olbermann" is. There is no one on any station in my area by that name.

So the solution to left wing garbage is right wing garbage?
I don't know if I'm right on this, but it seems like there are two kinds of Conservatives: There are "thinking" conservatives, Like Will, the late William F. Buckley, and the National Review, who are able to philosophically articulate conservatism in a way that makes it look like a legitimate, intelligent ideology.
Then you have the "entertaining" conservatives, like Limbaugh, Hannity and the like. Who entertain and appeal to a lower audience. Limbaugh has some philosophical basis for his beliefs, but Hannity is just a living, breathing talking point for the GOP. He'd make a great propagandist for any third world dictatorship. I actually think their shows dumb down conservatism and make it look stupid when it isn't. I'll bet Hannity and Limbaugh have never actually read Adam Smith.
BTW nononsenseguy: Keith Olbermann is a liberal blowhard commentator on MSNBC. He's the left wing "entertaining" liberal just like Limbaugh is on the right.
Soooo - you're saying that Jim Jones is better than Ted Kennedy???
Hmmm - I guess forcing hundreds into suicide is not as serious a transgression as being a liberal Democrat...
No. The original poster compared Rush to Jim Jones. As if Rush is some evil person like Jim Jones. I am saying that before you compare Rush to Jim Jones, you should consider the evil in their own party - Kennedy's homicide and Byrd's KKK membership. Rush is a talk show host and has yet to cast a vote on a law that affects anyone in this country. Kennedy and Byrd have been voting on laws for over 40 years....
Gotta give Rush credit when credit is due...recently, now that Bush is no longer president, Rush has discovered the concept of checks and balances. Slowly, he's learning.
Deaths attributed to Rev. Jim Jones: 909
Deaths attributed to Ted Kennedy: 1
Deaths attibuted to Rush Limbaugh: 0
Looks like Kennedy has more in common with Reverend Jones than Limbaugh does....
Limpdick was a cheerleader for Iraq since Day one.....I'd put him ahead of Jim Jones.
