No liberals on Rush's show? No problem, as he presents the "liberal" view
Hence, no need for Liberals on his show.

VIOLA!!!!!

On the October 18 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh explained why he does not invite liberal guests to debate him on his show. After Limbaugh played a recording of former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson's observation that on Limbaugh's program "you don't hear a lot of the other side," Limbaugh explained that the problem with allowing a liberal guest on the show is that "I'm not guaranteed the liberal guest is going to be honest about what he believes."

Limbaugh noted that he sets up "the other side's position" because he is "the only one who'll do it honestly." Limbaugh further explained that "in order to establish what I believe and what I think, I set myself up by presenting the liberal point of view."

2. I believe it.
If there's anybody who we can trust to see through their blind anti-liberal rage to present the truth, it's Rush.

4. Rush can only handle debate when he can dump calls
Rush crashes and burns in unscripted situations where he has no control, that's why you'll never see him on a mixed panel or a debate forum.

9. I admit if I ever was in the same room as Rush
I'd call him a dishonest junkie to his face, and then slay him with facts.
