Rush Limbaugh: Leader of the GOP?

CaptainHaplo · 01-28-09, 10:03 PM

Rush is a success - because the FREE MARKET has a demand for people like him. Like him or not - if he didn't have an audience - meaning people who either agree with him or at least like him and his views most of the time - he wouldn't be around.

The hate you see spewed at Rush is simply because the Democrats - being the "inclusive, understanding and accepting" people they are - cannot stand for anyone with different views than their own to have a voice. Its ok to have an opinion - as long as it agrees with theirs. Otherwise you should be shut up, shut off, shut down and probably gassed (as most true liberals abhor guns).

After all - if they weren't afraid of different ideas - what would it matter?

And yes - expect to see the "balanced viewpoint" legislation come up again soon to do exactly that - shut down the opposition.

If you're mean the Fairness Doctrine I don't think it has a chance of passing although there are those in the Democratic Party who strongly favor it. Their network a few years back, America on Air, or something like that (can't recall it at the moment) failed and they seem to want a free ride.

As I said, I just don't listen to Rush. Not the content as much as the way it is delivered. Other hosts are okay though.

Enigma, I am sorry I missed your point. I thought you meant with wanting Obama to fail it also meant wanting America to fail. Not the case with me and I am sure not the case with Rush. I watched an interview with him concerning this and it is what he explained as well.

I believe that the point was that a politician had exhibited a propensity for dual countenances:hmm:

The fairness doc was out of hand however, The airwaves need changing. Moderates are being flushed down the toilet compared to hard line wackballs who use the public airwaves to rille up the ranks ignorant. On BOTH sides.

The problem with that is who decides what is moderate or hard line left or right? That's a big issue as I'm sure some of the things you and I consider moderate will be considered skewed to one side or the other.
