Rush Limbaugh listening habits?
 
I listened for three hours a day as often as I could from 1991 to 2005. I pretty much went cold turkey in October 2005 when I began to re-evaluate my political beliefs.
 
I don't think he's a scumbag, but I don't listen to radio. If I did I wouldn't listen to political talk radio
 
We only have Rush on AM here. I hardly listen to am talk radio or any other talk radio for that matter.

When, by chance, I am in a place where Rush can be heard, I do listen. He's the same Rush everytime. Idiot. :roll:

But ya gotta admit, it's kinda like a car wreck, can't help but look. When he is on the air, and I can hear him, I just HAVE to listen. :rofl
 
I listen every weekday, 11am cst until 2pm cst.

Need a hedge against inflation? Call Goldline now!!
 
Not so much that I view him as a scumbag, but rather that I just see him as a noise-maker and ignore him.
 
My mom used to watch him when he had his own half hour TV show back during the Clinton years. Maybe I was just too young to realize it, but he seemed to make more sense back then. Nowadays, he seems to be way too full of venom than full of sense. Now, he mocks liberals just because they are liberals, which is idiotic to me, so I don't listen to him at all anymore. Instead, I listen to a local talk radio station when I'm at work.
 
I listen sometimes, when there's something going on worth listening to.

He's a little too "jersey-oriented" (ie stuck on Republican) for me, in general.

I prefer to listen to his show when Walter E Williams is subbing, or that Brit guy whose name escapes me.

Wow, that's a hardcore habit. What do you do for a living, drive truck?
 
Never.

I used to listen to Sean Hannity a LONG time ago, but never could stomach Rush. I tune out blowhards as a general rule.

I listened as often as I could, which wasn't every day. I started listening when I was twelve, so that meant I could listen to the full three hours in the summer and hear the "best of" on Saturdays during the school year. I also set the VCR to catch the television show when it was on so I could watch it after school. Of course during college it was easier to catch more of the show because of the way classes fell.
 
You listened to talk radio at 12?

Yikes.

I was too busy skateboarding and practicing my pre-teen angst. ;)

I'm actually opposite. Limbaugh at least knows how to be a radio broadcaster and entertainer. Hannity just drones on for the full 3 hours about the same thing generally with his annoying voice.

Walt is a good one, always has some interesting stories and thoughts. Makes me want to take a random mason class just to have him as a professor. The brit guys not bad either, been on a lot recently.

Ever since CBS radio flipped my talk station to sports here in DC killing the greatest radio show ever, my middays while going to and from lunch have been left in dissarray as its not just either political talk or sports talk. With the abyssmal year the redskins are having and the fact I have sports talk on as background noise in the office, I'll generally flip over to Rush occasionally while going to and from wherever on my lunch break.

So maybe a total of about an hour a week

I was a geek. I wanted to be an adult when I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult I wish I could go back to being a kid again ....

Yeah, I agree about Hannity. That's why I *used* to listen to him. I don't listen to any talk political anything any more. I read quite a bit but the radio talk has lost it's luster for me.

Hannity is nothing but a cheerleader. Rush is at least original, but Hannity has never had an original idea in his life.
 
I honestly think a lot of the people who dislike Rush do so because they don't give him a chance or the ideological divide puts them off. The later is a perfectly acceptable reason. If I were a liberal I would most likely hate him. A lot of people miss the subtle sarcasm and the intional tweaking he does. Often when a female caller gets on he asks them their name and he says "You know "______" is one of my top ten female names". I have heard him say that about at least a hundred different names. :lol: Also, when he calls feminists "feminazis" or he calls news women "info-babes" a lot of people get all bent out of shape and think it's sexist.

Not only do they not get the joke, but they don't get that the joke is on them. He tweaks liberals like that all the time. The people that get offended by it are exactly the kind of people he wants to offend and the rest of us are laughing at the joke and the people that are all sandy crotched about it. :lol:

If you dislike Rush Limbaugh because you have listened and just don't like the show, fine, but if you don't like Rush because of something someone else said or wrote, you might be missing out on something you would really enjoy. He doesn't just talk. His parodies are hilarious. Radio is still free. Give it a chance.
 
I'll bet Rush has to have a bodyguard. So many hate him.

I used to listen to a Denver talkshow host, Alan Berg. He was a raging liberal, similar in style to Michael Savage. He used to rail on and on against guns and hunting. He ended up getting gunned down, I don't think they ever caught his killer.
 
How many people listen to this woman:

Dr. Laura

I've tried a few times.. just can't get into it. As soon as she talks about a woman's "role" I have to find a trash receptacle and speedily vomit inside it. If you've ever listened to her, you'll know what I'm talking about.

She makes some good points, when she isn't being a subserviant ass kisser and religious zealot - which isn't enough times in a broadcast to give a decent listen.

Exactly. Rush comes on strong and never lets up, and if you don't appreciate the subtleties of his sarcasm, his show will either go over your head, or piss you off. What I like about Rush is his willingness to just be himself, no apologies, and call it the way he sees it. I would like the same things in those on the opposite side of the ideological spectrum. I value honesty in self-expression over pandering any day of the week.:)

As for Walter Williams- I love it when he subs. I would vote for him for president (or any other office) over any politician I know of. He's another person whose jokes go right over the heads of many.

Yes, I like Walter Williams and I also like Mark Stein. Have you ever heard Walter talk about the time he bought his wife golf shoes for Christmas?







So she wouldn't slip and fall while washing his car in the winter time. :lol:
 
I miss listening to G. Gordon Liddy. I think he's on satellite somewhere these days. I don't line up with him on all of his politics, but his badassity more than makes up for it.
