Finally, a leading Repub says about Rush "He's just a damn radio host"....

[240 is Back]

Wait, none of them have done that?

 

[Soul Crusher]

Wait, none of them have done that?

 

Just the most popular host in the nation with 20 million listeners.

BTW - Democrat Jim Cramer is under attack now from Gibbs.  Is Cramer just a right wing lunatic too?

Evan Bayh called on Obama today to veto the spending bills - is he wrong?

Maureen Dowd said "I have been had" about Obama - is she a right winger?

OH NO!!! They haven't stated the blatantly obvious......THE HORROR!!!

Of course, a bigger concern might be why the Obama administration is more obsessed with Rush Limbaugh than it is with Osama bin Laden.

I think you said it elsewhere. But, it needs to be reiterated. The people are becoming enraged about all this spending. And, now it's ALL ON OBAMA......no more blaming Bush for the country's woes (which Obama and crew love to do, as of late, when they get taken to task about this issue). We know Obama inherited a deficit. He's not getting slammed for that. He's getting slammed for spending more money in six weeks than Bush did in six years, primarily via a "stimulus" with more swine than a chain of Texas BBQ restaurants.

Hell, 54 MILLION people chose Obama as their leader.  that's TRIPLE what Rush has.

apples and oranges, your ignorance and lack of logic seems limitless

[Soul Crusher]

Ha ha.  Rush is a radio host and gets these listeners weekly.

ZERO convinced enough people that he was not GWN, that they would get a welfare check, and the "Hope & Change" was comibng to vote for him on one day.  He had the unions, the media, and every sad sack interest group behind him.  

Zero does not want a prolonged fight with Rush.  Zero will get decimated.

Obama got 1 to 2 million people to show up at some events.
Obama had millions watch his "info-mercial".

How many people can Rush assemble in one spot?

My point is that Popularity does NOT equal correctness.  Hell, If Bin Laden had a radio station, you'd have a hundred million crazy idiots listening every day, right?  Does that mean he's 5 to 10 times better than Rush?  Of course not. 


Audience size does not equal accuracy of content.  Can we agree on that much?

You contradicted yourself within your own post.  Nice.

My point was that people you'd consider WRONG are able to outperform Rush.

Therefore Rush - who may be right on any things - is in no way dimished by the numbers of others.

Sure - and your constant posts about audience numbers, polls, etc, does not mean Obama is correct on what he is doing.  Got it???

I agree audience means nothing.

Obama got 54 million votes, but it doesn't mean his economic plan is good or bad.
Rush gets 20 million listeners, but it doesn't mean his message is good or bad.

I get tired of hearing "So and so has X million listeners, which proves to you how correct he is".

hell, Satan could get a radio station, and most of Earth would tune in to hear what he had to say.  Doesn't mean he's a good guy.

It just shows that Rush is not just some radio host.  He has more listerners on a daily basis than the cable shows have viewers, so he is to be taken very seriously

Obama is making a massive mistake by taking on Limbaugh..

 

[Dan-O]

Whether you love or hate Rush (and I agree he can be an arrogant, obnoxious prick) he's still right (read: correct, accurate, on the money) the vast majority of the time.

And you did contradict yourself big-time by attempting to negate the point you yourself made early on in your thread.

But the simple fact remains--wayyyy more often than not Rush is right on the money and THAT'S why people listen to him ALL THE TIME versus just assembling to vote for one guy one one day because that guy offered them pie in the sky--because the truth resonates with listeners all over America.

Really?  Obama's begging for it.  Think about it tho. Which man will more americans deal with?  A minority who wants to help poor people in a time when there's a LOT of poor people, athletic and healthy, with zero criminal record, who is the epitome of anti-Bush sentiment, who champions a welfare cause in a country where the majority of Americans seem to support it?

Or a fat bald rich guy with drug please, who spent 8 years carrying water for Dubya?


Repubs would benefit from a Pawlenty or Crist being the voice of the party right now.  Allowing a fat obnoxious rude "shock jock" to do it WILL NOT serve them well.

At the very least, can we agree a polite, well-spoken person would serve the Repub party goals more than a blubbering, sweaty drug felon spitting into the mic while saying he hopes Obama fails?

Nonsense.   The gOP needs a verbal machine gun like Newt, not some little patsy like Steele.

[240 is Back]

because the truth resonates with listeners all over America.

20 million out of 305 million people?

That's 6.5% of Americans.

More American than that subscribe to athiesm, homosexuality, and American idol each week.

See why we can't just assign value to numbers?

I agree steele is a wussy.

I'm thinking a machine gun was what they had in palin, an attack dog.  Mccain was tough too.

instead, people chose the calmer, cool and collected guy who didn't spit venom.  that was obama.  Agree or disagree with him, he brushed shit off his shoudler while palin screamed about 'pallin around with terrorists for crowds of angry rednecks.


I think a calm, likeable guy like Pawlenty or Crist delivers an alternative mesage (which many agree with) without being angry.  personally, I don't want an "Angry" leader.  Do you?  usually it's the angry people that lose their cool in situations.  If a guy can't keep his cool in debates and in interviews, how good will he be under real presidential pressure?

Palin and McCain dont have the verbal skills like Newt.  Newt, when he gets going, is unbeatable.

Look , my favorite historical figure is Patton.  He got crap done asap and kicked butts and was angry. 

i dont like sissy panzies like steele, Crist, Pawlenty, etc.  They are mushy fags who get run over by everyone.

angry ppl make good appointees and advisors.  They are of course, very important.

However,
Presidents are cheerleaders, the velvet glove to the USA and the world, while the iron fist works behind the scenes.

Who was the last ANGRY guy to win the presidency?

Bush 1 and 2 were very soft spoken.
Clinton, laid back and hitting on chicks.
Reagan, class act.
Carter, soft.
Fored, bumbling.
Nixon, angry behind scenes but sweet public face.

Face it, in modern times, people elect someone with a moderate personality.  pawlenty or Crist SHOULD surround themselves with newt and other fiery people.  BUT when it comes to the voice of a party, it's the people with CONTROLLED EMOTIONS that win elections.

The same wonderful argument is made by the religious. "Well Christianity has X number of beleivers".....Little do they realize that means nothing and does nothing in establishing their false claims of a mythical sky god.  At one time the majority of people thought that the earth was the center of the Universe, it sure did not make it true. Keep up the good work 240 of keeping some of these intellectual midgets in line by using their own tactics against them.

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.  Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.

It is the most destructive force, mental virus that has ever ruined and continues to ruin the world.
