Rush Limbaugh listening habits?

Whats the Fascists obsession with Rush Limbaugh?

It would be like all the democrats running around and being crazy about Alex Jones..

Both are radiohosts, need no more mention on a political forum. (so why the f*** have 100ds of threads about Rush Limbaugh?) I just shows that republicans are more extremists than democrats, or that there are far more republicans on this forum than democrats.
 
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:

Yes- he's a hoot! :mrgreen:
From listening to him, I get the impression that he's more of a libertarian than conservative, at least on the ideological side of politics. What is really unique about him (to me) is his ability to think big and speak simply.
 
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.

We have him on our local AM radio. He is pretty good. Opinionated but not a loudmouth. Another good one on that station is Bill Bennett. He has class.

The thing about Liddy is that he has lots of good life experience and education, and is genuinely intelligent. I don't think Rush is as intelligent as he is clever, and Hannity is just an idiot.

Yes, Liddy definitely has a leg to stand on, having actually served time for the Nixon debacle. He is a respectable gent. Rush is just a radio personality with lots of opinions and a big mouth, in my opinion.
 
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.
He bills himself as a conservative first. Nevertheless, if someone can put up a viable candidate that is conservative, he'll probably support them. He knows that the Republicans are the only game in town right now.
 
I don't know how ot answer it - I listen to him when my husband's home during hte week and wants to listen to him.

I would never listen to him on my own and when my husband does listen to him I usually find something fun to do - like baking bread or mowing the lawn, etc etc.
 
I started listening to Rush in 1988, and reliably through the first half of the 90's. I'm busier now, but still find time to listen occasionally.

That's how I know it's total bull crap when the Messiah Worshippers claim Rush said he wanted their demi-god to fail.

Rush said that if what their Messiah wants is bad for America, then he wants the Messiah to fail.

Since everything the Messiah wants is bad for America, I want the Messiah to fail.

If you don't want your Messiah to fail, you want America to fail.
 
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.

You know, despite the predilections of posters to this thread, there ARE radio talk shows and stations that don't focus on politics. Most of them have online streaming. If you'd like to know about a few stations, let me know.

One non-political radio show I enjoy tuning into is Coast-to-Coast, which comes on late at night. I put it on while I'm laying in bed to sleep or to listen to while I'm playing video games. It is HIGHLY entertaining, especially if you're into conspiracy theories.

Coast-to-Coast AM is teh shiznit!! I only believe about 30% of what I hear on it, but damn if the rest isn't entertaining! I used to listen to that on my drive in to work when I had a third-shift gig.

My one complaint is that they make you pay to podcast it.

I believe about 10% of that show. Too unbelievable if you ask me.

The one thing that stands out in my mind when I was listening to it is that Noory was way out in front of everyone else on Colony Collapse Disorder.

As for the rest, I treat it like sci-fi radio.
 
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.

Yeah, I caught Rush as I was part way through my transition from Commi-Lib to Conservative.

To the Libs out there... show your tolerance and that you are open minded.
Listen for a few weeks. What's it going to cost you? Nada.
What it will do is challenge your beliefs.

Rush does a great job explaining the right wing viewpoint.

You might have to eat crow now and again as he makes fun of Libs, but man up... Conservatives have to listen to Obi virtually everyday (except when there is a real crisis) and have to digest heaps of Obi's verbal diarrhea.

I've listened to Rush enough. He turns me off, I turn him off.
 
I used to listen to him, but now he is just a blow hard with a huge ego. I make it a rule to not listen to blow hards as well. I think as soon as Obama had gotten elected he went off the deep end myself.

Thanks for the info. :thumbs:

:rofl you seriously make me laugh! thanks!
 
No, it's true. C2C talked about the bees dying off very early before anyone else was. It's cool in that it catches on to stuff like that early.

On the other hand, I'm not liking the show as much lately. It seems that it has started to turn political, as many of the shows I've been listening to lately are about the New World Order in one form or another. I don't mind listening to those theories, I just don't want to be slammed about it constantly.

How early? Since I'm a hobbyist beekeeper, I'm wondering how long it took for beekeepers to catch on to the problem.
 
I listened to Rush a few times and won't in the future.


Well I dont like his style, even though sometimes he has good and honest points his whole attitude just drives me away. I would prefer less screaming, less blaming, and more honest and real debate between Americans of different ideas.
 
I believe in much of what he says but not 100%. I listen to him when he is being interviewed more than anything. I used to listen to him for years but he's just too fast paced. You have to know his personality and like his style to love the guy.

I know plenty of people that listen to him religiously. I would rather listen to Hannity on the radio or Michael Mendez.
 
My response would have been a combo of the last two. I have listened to his show, and I've gotten the jokes, even found humor in some of them from time to time (he may be an "entertainer", but he's no comedian). But I also think he's a scumbag.

You see, a lot of what he says I can agree with. Granted, there's a lot I totally disagree with fundamentally, but my views and his are not always in conflict. Maybe 50/50.

What makes him a scumbag in my eyes, is exactly what Martin Kaine was talking about. The way he tweaks liberals. His approach is that of a piece of ****.

I feel that he and his cohorts on both sides of the arbitrarily-created American political divide are the real problem in this country. He is a part of a system I abhor (the American two-party system of big and bigger federal government).

But I'm an extremist. My view of how governemnt should be is perhaps one of the most extreme views on this forum. Nobody really realizes it because my views surrounding the individual issues don't sound extreme on the surface.

But I want the system that exists now to fail. These polarizing douchebags actually inhibit my desires by focusing everyone's attention on psuedo-issues that would become meaningless on a national scale if my worldview were realized.
