How to Understand Rush Limbaugh

It’s a long read as far as internet attention spans go, but it’s a pretty good piece on El-Rushbo.

Haters hate away.

All pundits are media clowns paid to stir up shit in the medial. Rush appeals to mainstream conservatives for ratings.

I agree with the article that talk radio is a sign of the times and simply is an echo chamber of people’s feelings. And in a way it’s probably a lot healthier for everyone concerned to have these feelings talked about on the radio (or somewhere). As the author indicates free speech can me messy.

And I would be remiss if I did not remind my liberal friends that they never said a word when the MSLM was castigating Bush. Calling him Nazi and blaming him for every possible sin imaginable.

As each of us who cling to a certain political ideal go forward we should keep these words in mind:

“If freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

Funny or not they both speak the truth. Political correctness has seriously damaged our free speech. And it has been brought to us by the liberals.

Geez it is like a Republican ( LOVE IN ) in here. There may be some truth that political correctness has damaged our society but our Society has been damaged by the rhetoric Rush , Glenn and Sarah spew

True tolerance = when a lesbian commentator makes fun of the art of women juggling men’s balls in their mouths, accompanied by a horrible misconstruing of a movement in our country’s early history.

The whole point of this, which you missed, was that both sides do this shit.

Pit,

Just curious, if I were a newscaster and I had a picture of Rachel Maddow on the screen with an accompanying label of “Rug-Munching Dyke”, would I be given a pass if the sole reason of my broadcast was my disagreement with Maddow’s opinion ?

I am not sure I understand your question , but if you were a journalist and called Moddow a rug munching Dyke , I would question your intelligence, although true, it is distasteful and serves no purpose. I would probably not read much of your work
