This is the only point I’ll agree with you on.
He is intellectually dangerous because he associates with the limited government ideology while supporting the neoconservative platform. He damages limited govenment by proxy.
I have only heard him speak on television ,But i would say he wins the title of Greatest BlowFart Ever! that spews popular opininion because he knows it puts easy money in his pocket.I have a friend that listens to him that just turned 65 yrs.old .He is always spewing the ideas he hears on Limpbaa’s show. It’s funny because this guy made his living doing work that was funded by gov’t programs and his wife is a doctor at a hospital that gets its money from gov’t funding.This guy gets all upset by limpbaa and he can’t even see that he is one of the people that rush is actually downing.I suspect a lot of his listeners are the same as my friend.
He is the conservative equivalent of Michael Moore.
Both of them are fat, biased blowhards. I just happen to agree with Moore.

And you know this first hand. I thought he was saving himself for marriage, guess I’m was wrong.
Rush Limbaugh is ruining the republican party, but not in the way most people will think.
I’m the only person I know that goes and searches for the full clip everytime something comes up in the news that “Rush said…” 90% of the time the things he says are things that make sense and I can somewhat agree with, but can easily be taken out of context.
For example, lets take the “I want Obama to fail…”
Rush wasn’t saying that he wants the US to fail. He was saying he hopes Obama doesn’t do the things Rush is worried he is doing. He is hoping he fails at getting the stimulus passed, at running up the national debt, and at pushing the country towards socialist practices.
Whether Obama is doing this or not doesn’t matter, but it was still easy for democrats to take these remarks out of context and run them through the media over and over for weeks.

I do the same thing. Most Americans would agree with Rush’s statement of “I want Obama to fail” if they heard the whole paragraph.
WOW.

The nature of my job has me on the road all day long. This means that I end up listening to Rush, then Hannity, then Beck or Larson before getting home.
I don’t necessarily agree with these guys, but I get a lot of news from them that I don’t hear elsewhere. If it’s big enough news, I’ll verify it before believing it, what with the nature of talk radio and all.
I actually get the impression that Rush is actually a pretty damn smart guy. I enjoy his show most of all. The guy is funny.
I didn’t particularly care for Hannity seeing him on TV, but he’s actually a pretty nice guy on radio. He takes the most calls from guys who don’t agree with him and is generally cordial with them. I think his is the less thought out show though. I don’t think he can back his beliefs up well.
Glenn Beck’s heart is in the right spot, and he’s very well read, but I don’t think he applies his knowledge practically to make the right decisions oftentimes. He also talks about the average man too much. I find the concept of the average man insulting. In my head we’ve all the potential to be great men, and to accept the title of average is obnoxious.
I think out of them all, the most reasonable guy is Lars Larson.
Savage I disagree with most of all, but damn if he doesn’t have a good voice for radio. Plus I don’t have to yell at the radio, he does it for me.
I just wish Adam Corolla was back on the radio…8-12 hours of political talk radio is a killer.

Get an iPod if you don’t have one. Carolla has a free podcast that has been on iTunes for a couple months now. Completely uncensored and usually very funny.
And if Rush Limbaugh is a conservative the word means nothing. From Rod Dreher’s blog, on Limabaugh’s CPAC speech a month or two back:
Here’s a transcript of the entire Limbaugh CPAC speech. Take a look at this passage, and please tell me what is conservative about it?:
"Let me tell you who we conservatives are: We love people. [Applause] When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don't see groups. We don't see victims. We don't see people we want to exploit. What we see -- what we see is potential. We do not look out across the country and see the average American, the person that makes this country work. We do not see that person with contempt. We don't think that person doesn't have what it takes. We believe that person can be the best he or she wants to be if certain things are just removed from their path like onerous taxes, regulations and too much government."
This is a comforting lie. It is Rousseau conservatism: the idea that man is born innocent, but corrupted by society, or government. Remove the chains of government, and man will return to his natural, good state, which is one of limitless possibility. This denies two bedrock truths of philosophical conservatism, which are that 1) human nature is fallen, and 2) man must learn to live within limits. A conservatism that is not founded on a conscious recognition of those two truths is a false conservatism, and has a shaky foundation from which to criticize liberal utopianism.
More Limbaugh:
"President Obama has the ability -- he has the ability to inspire excellence in people's pursuits. He has the ability to do all this, yet he pursues a path, seeks a path that punishes achievement, that punishes earners and punishes -- and he speaks negatively of the country. Ronald Reagan used to speak of a shining city on a hill. Barack Obama portrays America as a soup kitchen in some dark night in a corner of America that's very obscure. He's constantly telling the American people that bad times are ahead, worst times are ahead. And it's troubling, because this is the United States of America."
Got that? Any attempt to grapple in a public way with the sins and failings of America, the errors that got us into this ditch, is to be seen as unpatriotic. We must ever keep before us the America Idol, and the power of positive thinking.
Crack. Crack.
"The freedom we spoke of earlier is the freedom, it's the ambition, it's the desire, the wherewithal, the passions that people have that gave us the great entrepreneurial advances, the great inventions, the greatest food production, the human lifestyle advances in this country, why shouldn't that be rewarded?"
Pure, uncut Progressivism. It’s astonishing, really.

Yeah,not as funny as the Turkish TV show “black face” that ONLY you found absolutely hilarious.
If conservatives were true they would have attacked Bush more. Bush was not a fiscal conservative in the slightest. He took the worst elements of liberalism and mixed it with the worst of social conservatism.

Wishing someone to die is never funny. Especially when it is a joke made at a fucking White House dinner. Sykes was out of line. I ask you, what if it were Limbaugh that made a ‘joke’ like “I wish Michelle Obama’s kidneys would fail”? Limbaugh would be drawn and quartered.
That fact that the dear leader find this funny in the least shows just how ‘classy’ he really is.
I think public apologies are in order.

I stopped listening to Rush years ago. Not because I have a problem with him, just because I know his views on an issue. My time spent listening to him was maybe 1991 to 1995 or so.
One thing he has done that was not there before was provide a balance to the drivel from the mainstream media. He was huge a decade or more before Hannity, beck, etc.
Now if I’m riding around I’ll listen to Andrew Wilkow and Hannity on Sirius. I like Mark Levin, but his voice annoys me. There’s a guy on before Wilkow, I forget his name who I’ll listen to if I get out of the office early for lunch.
