Democrats nearly double Limbaugh’s audience

by Dan Spencer

Saturday, March 7th

The Democrats’ conspiracy to demonize Rush Limbaugh, directed from the Obama White House, has the talk radio icon laughing all the way to the bank.

Friday’s U.S. News Political Bulletin reports Rush Limbaugh is a clear winner this week:

His ratings have nearly doubled since his feud with the White House burst into the media limelight.

Byron York asked Rush about the effect the Democrats’ plot has had on Rush’s business:

The latest numbers I have are for January, well before this kerfuffle began, and they are through the roof — six shares in NY, for example. There are daily ratings taken now in about the top 15 markets but I have not seen them yet. All I can tell you is that as of January, we booked 80 percent of all our 2008 revenue and we’ll be over 2008 by the end of this month.

According to Talkers Magazine, since the Democrats’ conspiracy was put in motion, Rush’s audience has grown from 14 million to 25 million.

As Chris Matthews said the Democrats’ plot is a great stimulus program.

The more the Obamaists attack Rush, the more powerful and credible Rush becomes, the truth is on Rush’s side....

I fear for Rush’s personal safety and freedom. We are dealing with a jackal-like enemy here that will do anything to prove its point. Keep in mind that Carville and Begala are behind this—just as they were among the architects of Arkancide.

After a post-election hiatus from talk radio, I started listening again two weeks ago.

Rush is positively in top form!

Bravo, congrats, and MEGA-DITTOS, Rush!

1) a huge number of converts to conservatism or

2) a huge number of RAT listener deaths because their heads exploded.

Sooo, there IS no downside..

Whatever they are paying Rush, it’s not nearly enough.

$400 million over 8 years.

Rush could have Obama for lunch and wouldn’t need a teleprompter.
