Rush won. Fluke is still a slut, and he’s still on the air.

LOL! You think Rush “miscalculated”??? Really. We all know the Rats have these operatives scattered everywhere and they are waiting for them to be needed to credate a diversion. Did you ever see a photo of a tank? Did you wonder what all those little cylinders pointing at odd angles were? Those are smoke grenade launchers. When the commander realizes he is in trouble he “pops smoke” and disappears.
The Rats use these operatives like Fluke to create a distraction when they need to control the news cycle. A complicit media knows this and helps out. Rush knows it, too. This time he jumped in and escalated things so that it would get LOTS of attention. We all knew she wuold eventually be outed as the Rat operative she is and the news cycle would “flip” on the Rats. It is “Rush Judo”.

Relax. Rush knows what he is doing.

Wow! You just ignorant, or not paying attention? Rush kicked butt. Obama's whole orchestrated campaign, including the Fluke put-up job has back-fired completely. Obama lost support among both women and men over the past week.

The American people are not as gullible as you and the left seem to believe. They saw through this transparent attempt to deflect their attention away from the bad economy. Obama's approval numbers are now the lowest in his short, unremarkable history.

The Rats set a trap. Limbaugh fell straight into it.

He’s a moron.

I'm afraid the Fluke fiasco exposes what I see as Rush Limbaugh's problem: declining relevance

Really now... declining relevance? Is that why the left is so doggedly trying to force him off the air?

Rush won this battle... big time. There's no denying it.

Produce 1/100th the empire Rush has, and I'll take your comments seriously.

Moron like Bill Gates was a moron.

The American people ARE as gullible as the writer claims.

I submit that if you went down to the street corner and asked passers by what folks thought of Rush Limbaugh, a fair majority would view him negatively.

This is because the middle American OVERWHELMINGLY receives his worldview from MSM on AM radio, FM radio, television news, television entertainment, print news media, all from local and national outlets pulling content from national and international wire feeds.

Rush is on three hours a day, and the middle American on the street does NOT listen to Rush. He listens to his favorite country music or classic rock station which pushes a liberal, progressive, pro-Obama worldview to our middle American every hour at the top of the hour. 24 hours a day. Seven days a week.

If there were 100 Rush Limbaughs, they would not compete with the worldview push that Middle American Voter receives from the overwhelming push of news to local and regional outlets from national and international sources.

Rush was right to call Fluke a slut and prostitute. She is. (Actually, she is more like a pimp, but....)

But Rush does not win the battle of public opinion in this case.

The Rats set a trap and fell in it themselves.

Rush’s ratings are up. Sleep Train and Carbonite are down. Maher has gone as white as a sheet. ‘Edgy’ left-wing comedians have been cancelled. The buying power of Rush’s listeners has been reasserted.

Granted: this didn’t seem like a win at the time - but then neither did Agincourt.

Rush won this one. Pure and simple.

It was actually an amazing thing to watch. The last thing the left wants is a vetting of The Slut, or the misdeeds of the left.

I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you left off the sarcasm tag. ;-)

Seriously? Rush had a GREAT show yesterday analyzing the results of the weeks-long contraception debate and it’s KILLING the Democrats. They have an 11-point loss on this subject, and Obama has lost ground with women. Go Rush. Hit Fluke again, harder.

Yeah right already. Tell Hillary to hit her magic reset button. Lesson learned. Even if you take his characterization as false it knocks him down to what? 94.5? .6?

I disagree. I think they might SAY they do, but in the way that a lot of people “say” they are atheists. Every one I’ve ever met - face to face - once queried on the subject admits they are really “agnostic”.

Also, Rush is not running for political office.

Rush doesn’t need your advice. He has been and continues to be number one in his field and has the millions to prove it.

When you have his success then maybe you can tell him how he should do things.

There was so much wrong with what that Fluke lady said and the phony set up of the Democrats, making it look like a Congressional hearing, and the choice of her as the birth control spokesperson, and her claim of $3,000 for contraception while in college. [just to name a few]

But Rush went charging after her sex life. He went at her as a slut, "she's asking us to pay for her sex!"

It was very bad

Het there “Battle of Tours”, Rush has a Radio Audience of over 20 Million, for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. How big is YOUR Radio Show? I DO NOT THINK that Rush needs advice from the likes of YOU!
