I bought a bicycle from a fellow who owns a shop in my neighborhood. He seemed a little off when I bought it, then when I went in to tune it up I noticed he was listening to Rush Limbaugh.
OMG!

More likely, he is a well informed, bright and very savvy entrepreneur that understands the real world better than you do.

Later, for one of my clients, I had two mountain bikes sent over to be tuned up.

He lied to my face about being late even though I was standing outside of his still closed shop looking at my clock (on my iPhone). Turns out anyone who owns a business and has no qualms about piping a fringe, inflammatory political view point through their shop speakers is, in fact, demonstrable moronic and, therefore, not to be trusted.
LOL! You're a trip!
For your information, Rush Limbaugh is hardly "fringe," and he is certainly not "inflammatory" in his political viewpoint (though perhaps to you, since you obviously disagree with him).
You need to settle down, take a deep breath, and realize that not everyone agrees with you (thank God). A recent poll indicates that there are probably more people that agree with Rush than there are that agree with you. Is it any wonder that he is so popular, and his audience keeps growing?

Kinda moronic to make a judgement like that based on a sample size of one individual.
Just an obervation- when I walk into any business and they have FOX News on the TV in the business, it really makes me question whether or not I want to do business with them. That tells me this business is owned or managed by somebody that hates our President and is on the far right wing nutcase fringe. I usually go ahead, buy what I want, and leave. But I do think about it but until this week never said anything.
I took my nephew to the dentist and the dentist had FOX News playing on the TV in the waiting room. A waiting room is not like a store where I can be and out quickly. It is a place where I am forced to wait for long periods of time to see the dentist (or doctor). I was a bit offended and I told the receptionist after 10 minutes "I don't mind waiting but I would rather not be subjected to right wing racism and ranting while I am waiting". I asked if the channel could be changed and, to my surprise, she handed me the DirecTV remote and told me to put it on what I wanted!
Well beings there were 2 other people in the waiting room, I did not choose the Speed Channel but I did change it to CNN Headline News. I think everybody appreciated that! BTW I know I mistyped dentist but I cannot edit the headline.
So the Communist News Network is better?
Oh, you were offended, tough nuggies, truth be told you would rather be watching Rachel Madcow or that complete buffoon Chris Matthews.
OH? Really? You have researched this, of course. Can you provide the data from your research?
You're forgetting the basic premise that no matter what a right winger says or does, the lefties in general will jump their case and find fault with it. If a repub said the sky is blue, the lib's would want to fund projects (using other people's money of course) to tint it orange and get their lemmings to repeat the word orange over and over until they beleived it!
