It's not only Republicans that listen to Rush, a lot of free minded Democrats do to and agree with him.

They are un-patriotic and disgusting and TREASONOUS in their hatred of America.
Oh wow. Another example of the braindead or uneducated.

I remember listening at the time when Rush first made these comments and he made it very clear he wanted Obama's policies to fail and that in the larger frame of mind he did want Obama to succeed for everyones sake. Just didn't want him to succeed with his policies.

And many of us don't want him to either. We don't support rewarding failure and punishing success. We don't support turning over control of our lives to the government. We don't support porkulus packages.

I think what is scary is when people who have opposing viewpoints to the left wing agenda are called "treasonous" as you put it. I'd be very concerned about people who can't accept or debate other viewpoints and who believe in a group think one thought society.

What? Every time I deal with government bureaucrats it's always poor service, excessive paperwork, long lines, B.S., etc.

I have yet to interact with one government service that isn't slow or inefficient or just outright absolutely useless. Ever.

The private sector is what drives the economy. It produces the goods and services we use. The free market and free will is what inspires creativity and productivity.

Rush is a lard assed rich pig that does not relate to or care about the common person. He gets paid well to shill for the Neocons and the idiots that believe him should be sucked up into the ether or down into the depths. They are a waste of oxygen as they are supporting an ideology and people that do no give a rat's butt for them or this country.

Now why would I want to listen to a potty mouthed person like yourself instead?

For those that don't know Rush worked almost 25 years of hard graft before he made a decent penny from radio. He also took a risk on a new format in 1988 on AM radio which was dead and revitalized a whole industry of talk radio. I don't begrudge him any of his success. Don't see why anyone else would either.

I definitely don't consider it news but I like Bill Maher.Reason I like him is that if someone is doing a crap job,guess what,he's going to say it.
If Fatty Limbaugh sees a democrat in any political office,he's going to put them down.The guy is a political racist.I usually prefer democrats but I will always side with the guy who is doing a good job but unfortunately republicans have had a bad record lately.
