    Re: Who makes up Limbaugh's audience?

    Ever heard Carlin's take on ol, Rushbo. He doesn't go into the Domincan boy thing but he covers the Cigars. I would post it but it's pretty descriptive.

      Just from what I've read here on the forum, I'd say its mostly enraged pinko wannabes. . .

      I can't think of a single conservative that I respect that has posted a thread or link that originated with praise for Limbaugh.
      Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

          the same as saying that Reverend Wright's words control the attitudes of our President.
          One would not have been heard of more than a few blocks away had not the President been present; the President repudiated the remarks.

          The other has the widest-circulation talk show in America and the principal Republican candidates affirm his remarks.

                    Ahh, but he did not originally repudiate the remarks, not for the first 20 years in that church, nor in the speech that gave Chris Matthews a tingling down his leg. He finally repudiated it when the media storm could not be settled. To Rush's credit he apologized withing 5 days whereas it took President Obama years before it cause a cognitive dissonance for him.

                      I can issue this same advice to these woman that probably were the ones to say do not listen..

                      But that's what is nice about being a liberal one's stance varies on the situation.

                        Oh. As to the original question, which was actually less a question, and more a lead in to some hind sight benefited and slightly inaccurate boasting...

                        The only people I know who listen to Rush, are liberals.

                          I never hear his voice, except when some other media outlet plays a clip. Or when the excavation guy comes to dig up our septic tank, and has the radio blasting in the cab of his backhoe.

                          I grew up in a right-wing nut home and have been surrounded by right-wing nuts most of my life, here in the rural western U.S. Thus, I can predict virtually every word that issues from Rush's fat mouth, because I've heard it in endless variations for decades. It doesn't make any more sense now than when I first heard it during John Birch Society meetings at our house, with a Nevada congressman (Walter Baring) dozing off after two bourbon highballs.

                          As Mr. Shakespeare wrote, I would sooner listen to my dog bark at a crow.

                            Can you at least understand or recognize that there are plenty who feel precisely the same way about, say, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, or the cackling "left-wing nut" (to borrow your term of endearment) hens on "The View"?

                            And that this does not make such people evil, stupid or ignorant; just merely viewing the world differently than you?

                              They are, in my experience, often stupid, ignorant, or both. Evil? Who knows? That's not my call.

                              Your assumption seems to be that everyone is programmed by some media source or other, but I don't listen to Maddow, Matthews, or MSNBC either. I do, however, know the difference between right and wrong.

                                I see. So those who don't want to listen to Rush Limbaugh or other right-wing talkers are sensible, intelligent and enlightened. Those who don't want to listen to left-wing talkers are stupid, ignorant or both. Gotcha.

                                Not at all. Although I often hear commentators on the left whining about how conservatives and Republicans "take their marching orders from Rush"

                                So then you'll agree with me that this was wrong:
