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.

That show has to be pure profit. What does he have have? 10 employees? Biggest production expense is buying Rush the latest Apple gizmo.

Clinton learned to not to take on Rush.

Obama is too stubborn to learn that. Watch Rush pass 30m soon.

Sounds like they had a good plan. They seem (early yet, I know) to be more incompetent than the Carter administration and that is real incompetent.

Nearly doubled. And with no advertising effort on Rush’s part.

You can’t BUY publicity like that.

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

you never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel

I will never understand why people think Obama is a genius. Tom Delay and other whipping boys can't fight back. Rush has three hours a day to make his case...Hello

That alone is enough to make Rahm Emanuel and his Obama-girls Carville and Begala whimper and whine.

As they say in Hollywood: any publicity is good publicity.

Are the Democrats listening to Rush to whip themselves in a frenzy... are are they listening to Rush because he is starting to make some sense?
