I'll have some of what he's having.
I haven't hallucinated in decades!

What makes you think we haven't listened to him?

He was sort of provocative and interesting in the early '90s. He hasn't had a new idea in almost 20 years. In 2006 he admitted that he'd been pushing the Republicans even though he didn't believe in them. Why would you continue to take someone seriously after that?

They would rather hate without knowing.

Because the msm says so.

Come to think of it, isn't that prejudiced?

Well, chris matthews, rachel maddow and chris o'donnell are sold as "journalists".

Rush, Hannity and the like ALWAYS say that they are commentators, with a conservative point of view.

Does anyone expect intellectual honesty from the left?

If it was the subject that Rush objected to then he should have simply addressed and commented on THAT, however he didn’t. He attacked the young lady, her parents, and others with his disgusting and inappropriate comments. He’s lost 7 sponsors now and a good number of listeners.

I’ve never enjoyed listening to him and on those rare occasions that I heard him, he literally made me ill with his comments. I simply believe he is a mentally sick individual that has gathered the attention of the far rightwing conservative republicans. I’ve also stopped listening to all the other talkhosts on the local talk radio station because of him; I now enjoy music more than ever before.

He was a DJ at a local station in Cape Girardeau in the early 70s, he sucked then, he sucks now.
I'm in Cape at least twice a month and they must not be to proud of him either.

Obviously you don't watch the Daily Show.

Were you around when he was on the radio back then?
We used to tune in just to laugh at him.
