I probably already know the answer....

[Trey9007]

But who knows. Today on his show during a rant about Hillary's anti-trickle down comments, Limbaugh went on to say that Reagan lowered deficits.

I wonder if his staff, or callers will correct him and force him to acknowledge on air that he was WAAAAYYYY off with that statement. But like I said, I probably already know the answer.

2. Quit contributing to his listenership.

(If viewership is a word, then so is listenership. )

3. You're right, you do know the answer

And because conservatives only trust news sources that agree with them (pew recently did a survey proving that), his listeners will believe it.

4. I know you asked a question here but . . .

Why are you even listening to that gas bag?


Now go take care of your ears because they might bleeding.

5. If someone calls to challenge him on anything and they are intellegent

they will never get through the screener. If they sound like a doofus they will be on the air in a heartbeat.

Now as to some of the other posters to you question- Yes, I wonder why you are listening to that tripe but I wonder the same about people on DU who watch Morning Joke and Chuckie the Toad. But Everyone to their own tastes.

7. Why do you listen to him?

Come on. Limbaugh survives by creating powerful negative emotional responses in people; whether what he says is true or not. He is a fear monger. Life is too short to wasted your time listening to his drivel.

[Trey9007]

8. I listen to him for a few reasons.....

Although I dont agree with him the vast majority of the time, I do enjoy the humor of the show. I enjoy listening to the crazies that call the show. I also enjoy debating the everyday right winger. So, when you can listen to and debunk their god, it makes debating the rank & file conservative a breeze. You know what their gonna say before they do...lol..

IMO, Rush is good at what he does. He paints his alter reality like no one else I've seen. Although I disagree with him, the great amount of prep work is evident in his presentation. In strange way, I guess I have an appreciation for that.

I know what I'm getting when I listen to him. This is what makes him easy for me to listen to. I dont listen to him expecting to get something I know will never come. I don't have to agree with a person to listen to their show. To be honest, I find it rather difficult to listen to, or be entertained by the folks on my side of the issues.
