Middle east is jumped up more now that usual.

I can only take so much Limbaugh. The man is a full time propagandist. His devotion to truth is non-existent.

There is an interesting distinction between 'nuisance' and 'threat', yet both can be annoying.

Threatened?! I say wake up people. The man traffics in half truths, day in and day out. It is the minds of his ditto-heads who are threatened.

He was right on the excesses of the welfare state, and that's about it.

If you look at who is behind ethanol you will find large corporations
like ConAgra and and GM.

Ethanol is not a liberal idea !

Rush is extremely biased toward the right wing conservatives.
He is most defiantly wrong in trying to claim that all of the woes of
the country are the fault of liberals.

His perpetual attempts to polarize people into two groups
liberal and conservative
is a very base and ugly thing.

How different is he from a racist, or sexist ?

The things he says are disgusting on a human level.

He is not talking politics, he is talking hate.

He is not a wise political sage.
He is a disgusting hate monger pandering to the rest of the hate mongers
of this world so he can make a buck.

He is making lots and lots of money off of the backs of people who are
not smart enough to realize they are being pandered to.

If you think his fat, drug addicted ass gives a siht about you or the
conservative party, you are a fool.

He has repeatedly shown that he has no compassion for anyone.

A true conservative would not destroy the US economy by creating and flushing a trillion dollars down the toilet in unnecessary war.

All the while your own country's infrastructure is crumbling.

But your friends are getting rich.

The only ones who still think that W is a Conservative are Democrats. He fiscally abandoned the Conservatives a long time ago.

You've got to give him credit for one thing. He's united all of us against him.

What's scary to me is that there is a bunch of these guys, and they have an audience. I heard this Savage guy the other day and the haters that called in were so wound up that it was eye opening to just how many disturbed wackos there must be out there.
What's the demographic or IQ's of people that buy into this infantile crap?
They walk among us.

I used to listen to the ill-fated Err America before it crashed to see what the other side had to say. Let's just say that there are disturbed whackos of low IQ on either far side of the aisle. The only difference is that one side is able to make money doing it.

That appears to be the case. Why is that? How is it that people like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Hannity make millions of dollars when their commentary is of such poor quality? Limbaugh is illogical and dishonest. O'Reilly is a buffoon. Hannity is dishonest and mean-spirited, although he does have an impressive natural ability to advocate for his position. I disagree with 99.99% of what he says, but I would hate to be on camera trying to debate him.

Back to the point, though, what does it say about our country that such mediocre talent is rewarded so generously? Does quality mean nothing?

Maybe its all in your POV.
No one holds a gun to anyone's head to make them listen to Rush. No one force radio stations to carry his program. Yet, he is, by far, the most listened too, and therefore most sucessful at his profession.
All of which puts you in the minority.

I do find it rather interesting how much hate the ( oh-so-accepting_ left can hurl at Rush-or at any Conservative who can effectively communicate. The party of "we have to accept everybody, and be tolerant of their views and their differences" shows no ability to do that with regard to Rush. In fact there are attempts to use the power of the government to shut him down---by the supposed supporterd of fee speech.
What it shows me is the hypocrisy of the left--You have freedom of speech as long as you speak leftist propaganda. If you speak righist propaganda, you must be shut up, or libeled, or thrown in jail, or somehow discredited.

Instead of the ad hominum, challenge what he says.
