Every time the left mentions Rush, he rings the register. When Obama went after him his already stratospheric ratings went through the roof.

That's fine. You and your friend Rush can celebrate his ratings and the money he makes, and I'll celebrate the fact that Democrats continue to win elections. I can live with that.

Didnt see this posted any where on here, just wanted to show people what the rich republicans think of you,
You really need to twist and contort things to come with your conclusions.

What Limbaugh was saying, was go on about your lives, be successful in what you do, improvise, adapt and overcome, and do not become a victim of the doom and gloom talk, by changing your day-to-day business practices. Do not give up and climb on board wagon of despair, keep pushing the wagon. The point is, do not participate in failure and hopelessness, keep trying your best to succeed, don't give in to failure as an option. If you listen to his show, you would have known this already. Yes, i have listened to his show, and I'm sure most of his audience did too.

Yeah, Rush wouldnt say anything to hurt your feelings. Why would he laugh about staunch Republicans losing their jobs? You've all been such good guard doggies. You're the means by which he makes his $400M. This so-called recession just means that the bottom of the angry-RW-radio-listener pyramid is only growing wider and thicker. Hey, just like Rush!

Condoning the death of someone for their words: a great platform of liberal tolerance.

Actually, you also sound like Savage. Perhaps you should be banned from entering the UK?

nah, we'll just monitor you

I beg your pardon. I go to great lengths and use a lot of time looking up and citing quotes at this forum. The poster's reference was so vague and obscure that it gave no clue to the quote. As for the quote itself, I see you're one of those who still prefers to misinterpret it. I dont know why you all do, I suppose to deny the truth of it even as you act it out.
