People flock to them because they tell them what they want to hear.

Everything bad is caused by liberals = crazy talk.
Most liberals live in the city, make more money, pay
more taxes, have lower unemployment and higher education.

Rush's program is entertainment not educational. Don't take
him too seriously.

Rush wins again.

Anytime he can create a buzz, especially negative press from the left, he gets the publicity on which he depends. You are part of his cadre of loyal supporters. He should reward you with a subscription to "The Limbaugh Letter", in hope that you will continue to give him free advertising.

Quotes by tankdriver: "It's because liberals are diverse, and conservatives are not."
WHAT???? You have got to be kidding me! You don't know many or any conservatives do you? We have more points that we can agree on, true, but conservatives are very diverse and we come in different colors and races too!

"There hasn't been more than two kinds of Republicans in 60 years. There are more kinds of liberals than you can shake a stick at. One can't pander to a diverse group, one would spend too much time talking about a slew of topics - only a small portion of which any one listener would care about."
You don't know many Republicans either. Who would have thought there would ever be a group of law abiding, gun toting log cabin Gay Republicans? Not me! I know that most Republicans find more in common than liberals will. I'll agree with there are more kinds of liberals than you can shake a stick at. But in my experience living in areas of the country heavily liberal, I can honestly say that although they pretend otherwise, liberals really don't like much, especially each other! This was my personal experience living in places like San Francisco, Seattle (the worst place ever), Los Angeles, New York, etc.

"Liberals are generally smart enough not to blame their counterparts for everything. Liberals spread blame among many. That makes for a more difficult show, and one would tend to sound like a ranting lunatic."

Since when have liberals not blamed their counterparts for everything? RODLMAO! With liberals spreading the blame around to many, who could argue with them sounding like raving lunatics! They sound like it because THEY ARE!!! The blame goes around with a flame suit on, but there is hardly ever any real facts to back up their baseless arguments! That is what makes them sound like lunatics who are full of crap!

"I would only hate to debate any of those guys if it was on their own show. Let me pick the cameraman, producer, and editor and I'd take any one of them on."
Now there we can TOTALLY agree! A liberal on his own show will never let you make your point without shouting you down! This is why Al Franken couldn't make Air America pay it's bills. His constant raving and ranting led everyone to believe that he was and still is a bitter and sour individual. I've seen very few liberals ever back up an argument with facts, including Al Franken!

I believe that Air America really backfired. It convinced a lot of people that being a conservative isn't really bad and definitely numbers of conservatives are growing as well as Republicans. True liberals and Democrats are growing smaller in number everyday and I firmly and solidly believe that this is why there is so much pandering to the fringe element out there, they need all the bodies they can get!

The one thing I can honestly say that I like about Rush Limbaugh is that he gives everyone the oppportunity to come on his show and debate with him without fear of reprisals or talking down to them.

I know many conservatives, and hold many conservative positions. Conservatives are inherently not as diverse as liberals. Liberalism can encompass more than conservatism can. See Bot's description of conservatism. It's not a value judgement - one could argue that diversity isn't so great. It's just the nature of liberalism.

I don't know what a log cabin Republican is, but as mentioned in the Bush PBS series, Republicans have either been Eisenhower Republicans or Goldwater (aka Reagan since he's revered now) Republicans.

That's kind of the point. Liberals have plenty to disagree about amongst themselves. If two conservatives have plenty to disagree about, chances are one of them isn't really a conservative.

Make up your mind. First you say they blame their counterparts, then you agree they blame lots of people. Which is it?
I think you have liberal confused with conservative. Either that or you've never seen/heard O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and Hannity.

No fear of reprisals or condescension? Plenty of fear of creative editing, interruption, strawmanning, and Limbaugh's ability to turn off the mic whenever he wants.


The claim made no mention of the word 'democrats'.

Quote: Both! The liberals do not see a distinction here. Anyone who does not agree with them is a counterpart. This does not have to have any fact basis and it can be random and change at the drop of a hat and on the turn of a dime!

I guess I see your point about 2 kinds of Republicans either Eisenhower or Goldwater/Reagan since I happen to be the latter and mostly Goldwater.
Trying to argue the basics and values of Libertarianism with a liberal is like beating a dead horse!

I don't like Hannity much, but I have been on the Rush Limbaugh show where we had a fairly heated disagreement and the man treated me with a great deal of courtesy and respect! He gave me plenty of time to answer and make my point, pointed out where he thought I was mislead and never turned the mic off or interrupted me and yelled over me!

I believe the term "Log Cabin Republican" came about due to the fact that some folks, in the "gay community" believe strongly that there is a distinct possibility that Abraham Lincoln (therein, the tie to "Log Cabin") was a participant in a "same-sex" relationship with one of his confidants (sp?) during the Civil War...-

Conservative-thinking, gay folks that are Republicans have formed their own group as an adjunct to the Republican Party and they "adopted" this name ... "Log Cabin Republicans" - sorta' sneaky, isn't it?

Now, keep in mind...that freakzoid from Iran, President "Ineedahandjob" has pronounced that there are no homosexuals in Iran.

If the Repos can welcome gay-folks, does that make the Reps better than Mr. Ineeahandjob and his ilk in Iraq?

I would HOPE that everyone on this thread would, AT LEAST, agree to this statement!

I think he would also include an Operation Chaos bumper sticker and T-shirt for Berkeley residents.

I have to comment on the title of this thread.

It is ironic ( at least to me) in that the originator was incorect in his analysis of Rush, and therefore was advertising that it was his analysis was incorrect.

I am not sure I accept the definition of a conservative as a promoter of the status quo. I know that is a pretty much accepted description, but I don't buy it.

In my world, a conservative is one who favors small government. Also a person inclined to self reliance, as opposed to those rely on government or a "village".
With government spending at unprecedented high levels, and with no prospects if reigning it in, A true Conservative is a basher of that status quo.
With government run ( read liberal control) of education and the disnal state of the "graduates", a Conservative is a basher of that status quo as well.

I could go on, but is it necessary? Have I demonstrated that conservative does not necessarily equal one who wants to preserve the status quo?
Maybe I am a radical conservative?

I agree that a conservative person doesn't necessarily want to preserve the status quo. I think that a conservative person favors traditional values and the traditional way of doing things, which is why W is not conservative.
