Ruining the GOP (Rush Limbaugh is a "monster")
Toledoblade.com ^ | March 12, 2009 | Editors

Today, however, he (Rush) has morphed into a monster.

REPUBLICANS, at least those close to the paranoid fringe, sometimes allege a “great liberal conspiracy” out to do them in. If that’s the case, consider this for a left-wing plot: Democrats artfully maneuver to make the voice and symbol of the GOP an immensely overweight, bullying 58-year-old disc jockey with a criminal record and a history of drug problems who flunked out of college.

This is a man whose ratings are down by 6 million listeners from their peak, who has been divorced three times, and who was once detained by drug enforcement agents for attempting to bring in illegal Viagra from the Dominican Republic. He is best known for cruelly making fun of the homeless ("are they room temperature yet?"), a prominent actor suffering from Parkinson's Disease, and most recently, for saying in a time of national crisis, that he wants President Obama to fail.

By the way, nearly two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of - as you have guessed by now - Rush Hudson Limbaugh III. The bad news for Republicans is that he does seem to be the de facto leader of their party. But what is worse is that Democrats have had nothing to do with putting him in that position, although they are too-reveling in it. Republicans have done this all alone.

Rush and the EIB network are showing a profit.

Rush has a huge and growing audience.

How is the Toledo paper doing?

We really should be careful to always follow the good advice liberals are giving us. We would be much better off if we always did as they say.

Rush IS a monster! (In the “monster hit! monster phenomenon! sense of the word.)

He’s also “phat”...

It’s obvious that who ever wrote that is on drugs themselves and doesn’t listen to Rush at all. I also like the personal attack the writer dishes out. Let’s not argue the merits of his ideas and positions but call him names to tarnish him.

If we want to use the Demoncrat’s argument, a drug using, lying criminal disc jockey college drop out is running circles around the elite Demoncrat elite. That’s just gotta piss them Ivy league douchebags off big time.

It’s funny how demonized Rush is. My moonbat friends use the word “hate monger” etc to describe him but they’ve never even listened to him. Whereas I have listened to Olbermann and Matthews etc. Rush isn’t even extreme at all but I guess they aren’t about to listen and find out.

I see whoever wrote this drivel wasn’t proud enough to put their name on it. And Toledo has so much to be proud of...

I refuse to click on the links to these lefty crap holes,
but what I would like to ask is:

“Who the hell is this guy, and what are his
credentials to make these statements?”

He sounds a little jealous that Rush has a national audience
and he's stuck in Toledo....LOL

I know we aren’t supposed to use Present_ent Barack Obama’s middle name (Hussein) but how about the Toledo Blade’s middle name (Gay)?

So if Rush kills the economy, signs a trillion dollar bill, destroys the stock market, and appoints tax cheats for his cabinet... will his numbers get better?

Oh yeah, typical oldline 'rat toilet paper. Has circulation a mere speck of Rush's listenership. Dogturds who mean nothing, union thugs preaching to the choir. Toledo is represented by baby killer Marcy Kaptur, if that helps at all. These people really belong in Meeshagin, not Ohio.

Wow, these people sure sticking to issues. I don't even know if Limbaugh is a member of the GOP. I'm not. There is a big difference between conservatives and the Republicans of the last 8 years.

“This is a man whose ratings are down by 6 million listeners from their peak...”

ACtually I just read that Rush’s audience has surged to 25 million since Democrats foolishly attacked him.
