This might make sense if his criticisms of the left were invented partisan scandals like this is.

Precisely why they keep reenlisting in record numbers.

Indeed, he's an expert at fighting through the democratic lies launched at him on a consistent basis. Just like his millions of listeners, it's laughed off, we don't expect much out of the liberals. The dems aren't much more than fodder for a quick joke at the water cooler.

I'm not laughing at the fact that this is such a mindless cliche peddled incessantly by liberal sheep, but because it's so ironic that the left's sheep, who've manufactured this "scandal" from go by mindlessly regurgitating Media Matters propaganda, are always the first to paint people as Nazi followers any time they object to outrageously false left-wing smears.

I went to the daily show last thursday, and it was the first time I've seen it in the past couple years. It's still one of the funnier shows out there, though it seems to have shifted away from the news focus they used to have.

In the last six months, the U.S. Army is seeing 15 percent more soldiers re-enlist than expected

This is the type of stat designed to make a person feel good, but it is completely meaningless. What was expected?

"As of 2005, Arbitron ratings indicate that the Rush Limbaugh Show has a minimum weekly audience of 13.5 million listeners, making it the largest radio talk show audience in the United States. Such high ratings have been a consistent hallmark of his show.[12][13] [14] A three-question survey from the Pew Research Center found that 48% of regular listeners had a high knowledge of current events, compare with 39% for NPR listeners and 38% for the Daily Show, and had the highest percentage, 56%, of hard news consumers"[15]

Rush Limbaugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


MINIMUM weekly audience of 13.5 million listeners.

Liberals can't be trusted with any type of news story.This one is no exception, Mediamatters and the liberals have "Dan Rathered" it.

Yep, it's been "Rathered".

The next sentence answers your question:

Quote:
This continues a trend that began in 2001. Every year since then, the rate at which existing soldiers have re-enlisted has increased.
The fact that the re-enlistment rate has increased every year since 2001 is pretty remarkable.
