He's paid to get an audience. He does that by giving political commentary and being funny. Both can be accomplished through political satire.

I used to listen to him, (it's been a long time) but he would make me laugh out loud at times. It's just a shame that there are people on both sides that only get that type of humor only when it agrees with their opinion/beliefs and call for investigations, fines and lawsuits when it doesn't.

His intentions aren't to be funny, but to sway public opinion...he is the face of the GOP which is clearly indicated by how scared they all are of him...it would be completely different if he chose to use facts for his arguments, but clearly he doesn't because the facts don't back up his ideas...

he is more of a whore than Ms Fluke...

I would certainly agree that he is attempting to sway public opinion. However, that hardly precludes being humorous. There is a lot of humor spread throughout his show.

I guess humor is relative...if I find myself listening to him, and it is on rare occasion, I find that if I laugh it's usually AT him and not WITH him...to each his own, right...

Sonny, you need to check the list of CPAC Keynotes. Not a comedian in the lot. All "leaders". This year, it's Caribou Barbie.
Sonny, You're dancing like a ballerina and just can't address Al "Smalley" Franken or Colbert... think skin maybe be an understatement. No more jokes unless Top Cat decides to excuse it ... hypocrite is a word lost in your limited vocabulary.

You right wing apologists are hilarious.
You progressive hypocrites are not hilarious ... unless it's another progressive of course.
 
Re: 'Rush Limbaugh Show' Broadcasts Five Minutes of Dead Air as Sponsors Continue to

Yes, that seems rather obvious. For example, I don't think I have ever found Maher funny even though I get what he is doing. Many on the left disagree with me.

To attract the audience he does, Rush would have ot bring more to the table then just swaying public opinion. He has to be entertaining / humorous. Otherwise, why listen?

What's next with you? Rubber and glue? I feel like I am talking to a 12 year old.





The Good Reverend plays down to his audience. :pimpdaddy:
 
Re: 'Rush Limbaugh Show' Broadcasts Five Minutes of Dead Air as Sponsors Continue to

Bull****. Limbaugh is a self appointed leader of the republican party. To suggest he is something other than that is turd polish. Maher is a comedian. Period.




Wrong. when I went after that moron michael moore back in his heyday, I downloaded his movies, forced myself to watch them before pontificating on his bloatness.... You should get your information on rush from other than Media Matters.


I am not a fan of his show, he is over the top and the moral conservativism position of he and his callers is too much for me. That said, I find it tiresome I have to correct his biggest detractors from thier glaring and collosal ignorance.
 
Re: 'Rush Limbaugh Show' Broadcasts Five Minutes of Dead Air as Sponsors Continue to

The absurdity of the Limbaugh denials on this site are pretty freaking amazing.

First the apologists claim he's a comedian. Epic Fail
Then they claim he's funny. Epic Fail
Then they deny he's a republican party leader. Epic Fail.

The hits just keep coming.



You mentioned 12 year olds before, Making false claims and declaring victory to me seems rather peurile.


Rush is about as "funny" as Maher. both are political commentators. and do comedy and satire. Sorry you wish to make an excuse for the sexist vulgarity of "your side"...

And you don't find refering to a woman politician and commentator as "barbie" sexist? I think we see where the disconnect lies.

The woman was testifying about a friend who needed progesterone to control ovarian cysts, had the medication denied under her health insurance plan, and is now suffering from early menopause due to lack of treatment.

And some of you cavemen are defending the man who called her a slut and a prostitute, and continued to go on and on about how much sex she must be having.

So you don't think the loss of 90+ sponsors will hurt his 2012 bottom line?

/facepalm

I don't think to a man worth 64 million, that it matters. :shrug:

1. she was not "testifying".

2. Her friend is made up. the pills are prescribed for medical reasons.

3. PP would have given her imaginary friend the pill for a hell of a lot less than she claimed it cost. Many times, free.

4. her imaginary friend would have a very lucrative lawsuit to persue if true.

5. What about "cavemen" who think it's ok to suggest a 14 year old got knocked up by A-rod, or that calling paling a "c--t" and a "twat", if humorous.



feigned outrage it feigned.
 
Re: 'Rush Limbaugh Show' Broadcasts Five Minutes of Dead Air as Sponsors Continue to

feigned outrage it feigned.


But as I recalled you were upset about Letterman, so where is your posts about being upset at Rush for calling her a slut and saying that she should be forced to make porn for taxpayers to see?

It's likely that the friend is not real, since George Town does cover BC to prevent ovarian cysts. If the story is true, she has a hella big lawsuit available. However, even if it is true, she had many options available, beyond just forcing religious organizations to cover something they are against for religious reasons. Having said that, i, and I would bet that almost everyone, would support a law requiring that all insurance must cover BC when medically necesary to prevent cysts and similar signifcant medical problems.

Use the search feature, try words like "abhorrent", "sexist", "dirt bag".....


Come back and share your findings. :doh

Sonny, You're dancing like a ballerina and just can't address Al "Smalley" Franken or Colbert... .


Let's start with Al Franken. Er, Senator Al Franken to you. You see, he is a real politician. Like him or not, he got elected.

As to Colbert, really? You actually compare Colbert to Limpy? Weak. Really weak. You righties are desperate to paint Limpy as something other than a revered leader. I can't blame you for that.
