What do all these people have in common? Mark Levin Sean Hannity Tom Sullivan Matt Drudge Roger Hedgecock Glenn Beck Answer: They've all had their careers assisted by Rush Limbaugh. Levin, Hannity, Drudge, Sullivan, Hedgecock - have all filled in for Rush. Rush grants interviews to both Glenn and Sean. Why? Surely Rush doesn't need the publicity... And surely it helps the "others" more than it helps Rush. Actually it's very...

Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Eric Cantor, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, said his party needs to be inclusive and criticized some comments by talk-show host Rush Limbaugh as inappropriate. “The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,” Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing today.

GOP leaders have been loathe to criticize Rush Limbaugh -- but House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is taking issue with Limbaugh's claim that President Obama's push for health care was comparable to Hitler's stranglehold on Germany. Cantor, the highest-ranking Jewish Republican elected official in the country, told Bloomberg News that his party needs to be more inclusive to regain power. “The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,” Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al...

Democrats have some thinking to do after Tuesday's elections, but Republicans don't have time to think. They're too busy trying to survive the party's internal purge and avoid being shipped off to political Siberia. Will loyal members inform on others for harboring suspiciously moderate views? Will anyone judged guilty have to wear a sign saying "Republican In Name Only" as penance? Will there be re-education camps? Will deviationists face the Enhanced Interrogation Technique of being forced to listen to the wit and wisdom of Glenn Beck, at ear-splitting volume, for days on end? Or worse: When Sarah Palin's memoir, "Going...

Here is video of Rush Limbaugh today on his radio show giving his take on the Election Results from last night. Limbaugh said he is yet to see information on "how many votes Barack Obama saved or created." He said Obama's candidate losing in New Jersey is like "Stalin being defeated in Moscow; it's like Castro being defeated in Cuba. . . . " Limbaugh also commented on a post by Markos Moulitsas at Daily Kos which he said essentially advocated the idea that Democrats lost in New Jersey and Virginia because they were not "socialist" enough. Limbaugh said that...

Is Bill O'Reilly the new moderate voice of America's right? That would seem to be the case after Bill O' took on Rush Limbaugh, the fire-eating grand poobah of everything right-wing. O'Reilly took exception to Limbaugh's claim that President Obama was trying to deliberately destroy the economy. In an interview with Fox News, Limbaugh said Obama represented the most "radical leadership" in the history of the country, and that the economy was "under siege" by Obama. Limbaugh also said Obama had "not done one thing to revitalize the economy." In response, Bill O' asked the logical question — but one...

had a four-hour dinner once with Rush Limbaugh at the “21” Club in Manhattan, back in the days when I was still writing profiles as a “reporterette,” to use a Limbaugh coinage. He was charming, in a shy, awkward, lonely-guy way. Not a man of the people. He arrived in a chauffeured town car and ordered $70-an-ounce Beluga, Porterhouse and 1990 Corton-Charlemagne. But he was not a Neanderthal, though he did have a cold and blew his nose in his napkin. He talked about Chopin’s Polonaise No. 6, C.S. Lewis and how much he loved the end of the movie...

On Mark Levin's show tonight, just after 6:30 PM Eastern, Rush Limbaugh talked about how close exit polling in New Jersey is today and urged listeners to get in line before 8 PM when the polls close. Here's a brief segment:

Palm Beach, FL—Staying consistent in politics takes the constitution of a rhinoceros. Unfortunately, it is that rhinoceros which is so aptly destroying the Republican Party—a party that looks uglier flip-flopping than Barack Obama did flipping those Iowa pancakes. Not only does the Republican Party have any constitution, but it hasn’t shown any consistency on issues that really matter to the American people. And when it does show consistency, it’s for removing conservatism from the party. Colin Powell is a perfect example of just that—an individual that wishes to remove conservatism from the Republican Party. But the symbol of the Republican...

Here is video of Rush Limbaugh on his radio show today where he said the New York 23rd Congressional District special election today is a "turning point" for the Republican Party and the country. The election of Doug Hoffman could result in more conservative GOP candidates running all over the country in 2010 and 2012. Limbaugh says NY 23 is where "conservative Americans are drawing the line." He says this is creating great distress among both Democrats and "Rockefeller Republicans." . . . (VIDEO)

Conservatives owe a lot to great men like Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley who helped keep the fires of conservatism burning when the movement was barely holding together. Without their efforts conservatism would likely not have gotten this far, this fast. That being said, in the last 30 years, conservatism has become considerably stronger, more popular, and more effective than it was in Goldwater and Buckley's heyday. There are three men who deserve to be heralded for that success above all others. Of course, Ronald Reagan deserves the lion's share of the credit for proving that conservative ideas work...

There's no better example than political commentary from a Hollywood elite to demonstrate how low some conservatives are regarded. According to actor Ted Danson, some conservatives just being manipulated by Rush Limbaugh and organized religion because they're not smart to formulate their own beliefs. Danson, who has starred in both "Becker" and "Cheers," appeared on HLN's Nov. 2 "The Joy Behar Show" and was asked to respond to Rush Limbaugh's criticism of Barack Obama on Nov. 1 "Fox News Sunday." Danson questioned the notion that Limbaugh, who is a self-made success, is really "one of the people." Instead, he accused...

New York—In a stunning show of support for Rush Limbaugh, the National Football League™ has decided to sue Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for $300 million in libel over his ousting in a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. Sharpton and Jackson, who led the charge in spreading slanderous and libelous racist statements, are now going to have to pay for their thuggish tactics in agitating the mainstream media, the sports media and Americans in general.

It was in 1988 that I discovered Rush Limbaugh. At the time, every media outlet spawned only liberal propaganda and liberal spins on whatever happened. I was tired of hearing that Republicans only wanted to kill people and that Newt Gingrich wanted to destroy Medicare - and the rest of the lies that Democrats tell constantly to scare people so that they can gain or hold onto power. I was tired of hearing of secret Republican plans to decimate Social Security, and that Ronald Reagan wanted gays to catch AIDS. It was doubly troubling for me because I was a...

Ann Coulter debates Limbaugh vs. Obama

On Fox News Sunday yesterday, Chris Wallace interviewed Rush Limbaugh regarding what Obama has done for and to America. Rush proclaimed that President Obama is “destroying” the private sector in America, and that he “has to think it may be on purpose.” This extensive interview leaves few stones unturned regarding Limbaugh’s opinion of Obama’s objectives and their consequences for this country. (good videos to save for future reference) Video: Rush Limbaugh - Obama Is Destroying America

...I truly believe that this is brought on by what I call the Minority Thought Pattern. Let's not mince words: the Minority Thought Pattern is the total disdain and hatred of what God has accomplished through the white male throughout history. Coming from an African-American, I know this will shock you...

Here is video of Rush Limbaugh today in an clip from his extensive interview with Chris Wallace saying that President Obama is "destroying" the private sector in America, and that he "has to think it may be on purpose." I think Rush is absolutely right. Obama's policies are designed to enlarge government and shrink the private sector. He has no desire to help small businesses to flourish or to encourage the expansion of a strong private sector. You can see the entire interview here.

Rush Limbaugh's tough criticisms of President Barack Obama on Fox News Sunday “broke” the White House's truce with Fox News, Bob Schieffer suggested during an interview with Obama's Senior Adviser, David Axelrod, on Face the Nation. After playing a clip of Limbaugh dismissing as “a photo-op” Obama's trip to Dover Air Force Base to witness returning casualties from Afghanistan and quoting Limbaugh's characterizations of Obama as “narcissistic,” “immature, inexperienced” and “in over his head,” Schieffer, seemingly referring to Limbaugh's remarks -- or, at least the decision by Fox News to feature Limbaugh on its Sunday interview show -- forwarded: Last...

Talk radio bomb thrower Rush Limbaugh ripped President Obama Sunday for his ego, health care reform effort - and a "photo-op" with the casket of a U.S. soldier killed in Afghanistan. "It was a photo-op precisely because he's having big-time trouble on this whole Afghanistan dithering situation," Limbaugh told "Fox News Sunday." "He can create the impression that he has all this great concern," Limbaugh charged. Obama said his overnight trip to view the returning flag-draped caskets of 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan at Dover Air Force Base Thursday will "bear on how I see" the war. He is expected...

President Obama is pursuing a "radical" agenda that is putting the economy and national security in peril, talk show host Rush Limbaugh told "Fox News Sunday," giving the young president failing grades across the board and standing by his sustained criticism of the administration. The conservative radio host assailed the administration for its economic stimulus package, health care reform plan and alleged uncertainty over the way forward in Afghanistan. In a wide-ranging interview, he called Obama a "child" driven by his "out-of-this-world ego." And he predicted that Obama, who built a broad-based majority over Republican candidate John McCain a year...

Rush also told Chris Wallce that, “Yes, she’s ready to be president.” From FOX News Sunday: Chris Wallace: Sarah Palin. You say that you admire her backbone. Do you really think she’s ready to be president? Rush Limbaugh: Well, yes I do. One thing I do not do is follow conventional wisdom. And the conventional wisdom is that Sarah Palin is not smart enough. She needs to bone up on...

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh warned in a TV interview of unprecedented "radical leadership" in the White House and called President Barack Obama a narcissist who is "immature, inexperienced, in over his head." Limbaugh, who regularly rails against the administration in his weekday radio program, said the health care overhaul working through Congress would become "the biggest snatch of freedom and liberty" ever seen in the United States. In an interview taped for "Fox News Sunday" nearly a year after the presidential election, Limbaugh derided Obama's recent visit to Dover Air Force Base to observe the return of 18 service...

White House senior adviser David Axelrod shot back on Sunday to scathing criticism by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. “It is a surreal day when you are getting lectures on humility by Rush Limbaugh,” Axelrod said on CBS’s "Face The Nation." “He is an entertainer. The president has to run the country.” Limbaugh called Obama “immature, inexperienced,” “narcissistic,” and “a child,” on "Fox News Sunday." He also accused President Barack Obama of “destroying” the economy, pursuing an “unconstitutional” health care reform plan, and “not caring” about the war in Afghanistan, in the Fox interview. “It’s no surprise that Rush Limbaugh...

Axelrod rebuffs Limbaugh for criticism By Tony Romm - 11/01/09 12:12 PM ET White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod on Sunday fired back at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who said earlier this morning the president was "a child" with an "out-of-this-world ego" that does not suit his "a five-minute career." "Well, I think it's a surreal day when you're getting lectures on humility from Rush Limbaugh," Axelrod told CBS' "Face the Nation." "The fact is that he is an entertainer. The president has to run the country," the adviser added. "He's the commander-in-chief. He has huge responsibilities. I think...

Rush Limbaugh's interview with Chris Wallace is going to be the only thing the MSM is talking about Monday.

Limbaugh fires away at Obama administration By Tony Romm - 11/01/09 10:09 AM ET President Barack Obama is a "radical" leader, and his administration's approach to healthcare reform and the war in Afghanistan both constitute an "attack on liberty" and an "attack on freedom," conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Sunday. "We've never seen this kind of radical leader at such a high level of power in this county," Limbaugh told Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace, adding that he voted for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008, despite routinely criticizing McCain on air during the campaign. "He's got a five-minute...

Of course, it is always good when an "Uncle Tom" Negro writes a defense to one of the most reprehensible men in recent times. The vile and borderline vulgar language that comes from Rush's broadcasts is too much to discuss in any one posting -- however, I challenge the writer of this to ACTUALLY LISTEN to him sometime. More recently, Rush attacked the President about a college thesis that the President NEVER WROTE!!!!! He...

In deciding which Sunday talk shows to focus on, I typically tap into Politico's Sunday talk show tip sheet, which provides a helpful round-up of the Sunday line-up. Scrolling there today, I came upon the photo you see here. Of all the innumerable images of the three men, these are the pictures Politico chose to announce the appearance of Joe Lieberman, Rush Limbaugh and David Plouffe on Face the Nation, Fox News Sunday and Meet the Press, respectively. You don't think Politico's pic picks might be revealing its biases, do you? Let's break it down . . .
