If they were smart they wouldn’t be lefties.

If they could they would use the “fairness doctrine” to shut down conservative radio. Nancy Pelosi has literally stated this. Their own radio programs, such as Air America, always flop because they’re not entertaining and seldom tell the truth. Liberals have yet to name any lies told by people like Rush.

My congratulations on 25 years of driving them nuts. I sympathize a little with Smerconish's disbelief that literally everything 0bama does is wrong. Of course it's hard to believe. Can we seriously state that a President of the United States could possibly be so incompetent, unqualified, bitter, hostile, and divisive in everything he does? Everything? Absolutely everything?

Yes.

Next question?

Anyone who is still hiding out from the fact that the President of the U.S. is an illegal alien is on a slippery slope to irrelevance. The day is coming when people will be remembered for whether they strove to bring out the truth, or to run away from it.

I enjoy listening to Rush, but he is wrong on several issues, the left gets his show, they just lie about it to demean to show.

He is wrong about GOP leadership and they cave or betray their core values, no Rush they are socialists who have lied about being conservatives, they support the socialist/fascist agenda to a T.

Rush really, really tried to become an Establishment Republican, but they apparently turned him down.

Are you too young to remember that Rush used to say that illegal immigration was no big deal and was the sign of a healthy economy?

Rush is a broadcast genius. He is a super salesman. He is a niche marketing man. He was a rock'n'roll DJ (awful at it). He is not a political philosopher and doesn't pretend to be. His audience pretends he is, which is a key part of his genius.

I just wish more of his audience would actually vote. Even Rush tells them that "Turnout is the answer to vote fraud." Which isn't quite true, either ... but it would be a start.

But WTF, I'm a good sport, I'll tune in when he mentions Sheriff Joe and the CCP. I don't expect him to endorse him or his findings,just cover him as a newsworthy item. Ditto Hannity, Levin, et al.

Rush pretends to be right on many issues. He is a radio talk show host not an expert, but tries to be.....

Why yes, Elsie, as a matter'o'fact. It's called the "Kenny Bunk VFW Bar Poll." While I cannot scientifically state that it has garnered world-wide acclaim, it is a frequent topic of conversation ... at the VFW.

When serving as the duly elected Judge of Elections it came to my attention that while I had to keep an eye on the illegally registered illegal aliens working at the chicken packing plant, I could rely on my vociferous "conservative" compadres at the VFW Bar to somehow completely miss the election. No absentee ballot, no show up at the precinct, no nothin'. In fact, the louder the "conservative" the less likely ....IMNVHO of course .... of the yahoo in question actually voting.

AHA! Anecdotal evidence, you surmise. No, Elsie. In my area, FAR fewer people showed up to vote for The Mormon Milquetoast than showed up to vote for GW.

Since I am no longer in office, (vox populi and all that) I have issued dire threats to the subjects of my scientific poll.

Either show up at the polls and be counted in Fall '14, or I will personally visit your home and administer a Louisville Slugger Neurological Treatment to your thick "conservative" skull." Of course, I may drag offenders to their precinct first, THEN throw'em a beatin'. In the meantime, I making sure that every "barroom conservative" I encounter is actually registered. Many, dear Elsie, are not, you know.

That's my DATA!

Twenty-five wonderful years of pure excellence - that's amazing...

When I see men like Rush Limbaugh holding back the horrors liberal elites would inflict upon us I feel the country's been blessed.

Thanks Rush... let's go for another twenty-five...

If he were merely incompetent but well-intentioned he would get something right by accident but give him a clear cut choice between a French Silk pie and a cow pie and he will take the cow pie every time.

Normal people take Limbaugh’s schtick of “I am the greatest”, “You don’t need to think, I’ll do that for you” and other bombastic boasts as being just that, a bunch of jock like bravado.

No problem there unless one is an elitist metrosexual who was never in a locker room or around real men; in that case they take it word for word as gospel truth unable to discern and dismiss the bravado from the actual message.

True.

Sometimes anecdotal 'evidence' is right on the money!

Actually I think plenty of lefties have no idea or get what Rush is talking about....because they don't listen long enough.

That said...there's plenty on the right..that don't "get" him either.
