  I haven't listened to him in years bro... read above what I said... it doesn't say I listen to him...

  Then how in the blazes do you knowthe veracity of your claims about him? I have heard him occasionally during lunch hour on the local AM. He does not at all sound like your description.

  Ships, if you don't listen then you can't know, so let's just say, he's not in the least bit freaking objective, his show is one straw man after another, he's uneducated yet talks about things he knows nothing about, he thinks he smart yet he's as dumb as my dog scruffy...he appeals to those in the Republican party that are just like him, African American hating, non educated fools... all parties have folks like that who vote, but his listeners quote him verbatum-they actually think what he says is all true.

  Dawg, being that you are bashing a radio personality you never listen to, it sounds to me that you are just about as unobjective as you claim he is. I see here a claim that he is:

  1. Unobjective ( an unabashed Conservative radio show need not be)

  2. Stupid (This "idiot" runs what is probably the most successful and influential radio show in the country, so much so that an election could turn on his opinion, as your original post evidences)

  3. Racist (please present evidence).

  Just turning the mirror Dawg, I think you are a good guy, even if I don't always agree with you.

  That is not a sign of intelligence or lack of it. The fact is he says things that easily debunked and he presents them as undeniable. That is a sign of low inteligence, or at least laziness.

  » Political commentator, radio host, college drop-out, alleged
  closet homosexual, and, as recently revealed, synthetic heroin
  drug addict, Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is probably the best
  known neocon personality in American radio.
  
  Born in Cape Girardeau, MO, in 1951, Limbaugh spent many of
  his formative years pursuing a career in radio.
  
  After using his pilonidal cyst - a congenital birth defect - to
  avoid military service in the Vietnam War, Limbaugh briefly
  worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, PA and Kansas City,
  MO. Fired from both jobs, he worked as a wiener salesman for
  the KC Royals baseball franchise, eventually slithering back into
  the radio business.
  
  In 1971 Limbaugh attended Southeastern Missouri University,
  where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated affair
  with Elliot Sanders . So gay is Limbaugh, guarantees Sanders,
  that, "none of his marriages was ever consummated." Many of Limbaugh's fans staunchly deny the man's alleged
  homosexuality, and Limbaugh himself says the rumors are
  politically motivated lies. However, one is forced to doubt
  Limbaugh, who has a history of denying and balking at rumors
  that are later revealed to be true. His pilonidal cyst, his
  pseudonymous career in Pittsburgh radio, and his addiction to
  Oxycontin are all facts which Limbaugh initially denied or
  concealed.
  
  After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limbaugh
  moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
  with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
  great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
  mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
  Rush mocks today), would later died of AIDS.
  
  Through his ties to Woodruff Limbaugh was given Morton
  Downey, Jr.'s spot on KFBK News Talk 1530 a.m. Within
  twelve months Limbaugh had become the most popular radio
  personality in Sacramento. In 1988 he signed on with EFM
  Media Management, working from New York City.
  
  For a short while Limbaugh plateaued, until the success and
  enormous popularity of a Democratic president provided him
  with a reason to whine.
  
  The popularity and charisma of President Clinton enabled
  Limbaugh's hate-filled show to appeal to millions of bitter
  American conservatives. Limbaugh's unique combination of
  prevarication and histrionics provided a sense of unity for
  otherwise incompatible demographics, such as Klansmen and
  Wall Street stock brokers. For years Limbaugh fooled his audiences into
  believing his whining was something much more noble. By the mid-90's Limbaugh's promoters had co-opted his show
  to enough nationwide syndicates to claim Limbaugh was the
  "most popular radio personality" in the country. Technically this
  was false. However, the free handout out of Limbaugh's show
  to any station that wanted it resulted in Limbaugh being the
  most listened-to man on a.m. radio.
  
  Inspired by Clinton-induced vitriol, Limbaugh paid a ghostwriter
  to author for him See, I Told You So (1992), Nanny Nanny,
  Boo Boo (1993), and I'm Rubber. You're Glue. Whatever You
  Say Bounces off Me and Sticks to You (1994).
  
  After miserably failing on television, Limbaugh spiraled into
  depression, eventually becoming addicted to pain pills
  prescribed to him for his pilonidal cyst (a.k.a. "Butt Boil"). For
  nearly eight years Limbaugh abused Hydrocodone, a synthetic,
  stronger version of heroin.
  
  In effect, Limbaugh spent nearly a decade stoned off his
  bleeding backside, and ultimately built up his tolerance to levels
  requiring dozens of pills per day in order to, as Limbaugh once
  confided in his maid, "get my buzz on."
  
  A textbook example of the damning effects of drug abuse,
  Limbaugh's addiction precipitated a swift drop in weight,
  deafness in both ears, and a marked decline in mental faculties.
  He also became increasingly paranoid - requiring his provider to
  meet him at night behind restaurants, next to dumpsters,
  where he'd hand over cigar boxes stuffed with "cabbage" (cash)
  in exchange for some "little baby blues" (pills). Limbaugh's
  desperation peaked in 2003, when he groped his provider in an
  attempt to check her for a wire tap.
  
  By late 2003 the whole world knew of Limbaugh's drug
  addiction, though by virtue of their lack of character the
  majority of his fan base remained loyal listeners. Limbaugh's
  show remained popular, despite the rapid rise of Liberal Talk
  Show host Al Franken and the dogged attempts by the Bush
  administration to shut down long time talk show staple Howard Stern .
  
  In May 2004 Rush's third wife, Marta, grew tired of never
  having sex with her allegedly closeted homosexual of a
  husband, and so asked for a divorce. Limbaugh complied after his
  desperate wife agreed to never reveal the true nature of Rush's
  sexual perversion.

  Here, in his
  "Jeff Christie"
  phase, Rush
  Limbaugh
  worked under
  an assumed
  identity, as do
  many self-
  loathing, closeted
  homosexuals. After
  being arrested for
  soliciting a gay man in
  Pittsburgh, Limbaugh
  was fired from KQV
  radio, according to
  numerous sources

  Wow yet another scandal brewin Ididn't know he was gay.

  I'm not a Limbaugh fan, but will give credit where it's due. The man is a master propagandist. Makes the GB look like rank amateurs.
  
  But there is one thing for which I will always resent him. Whenever I am discussing music with someone and mention that I'm a Rush fan, I have to explain that I mean the BAND, not the radio commentator.
