I listen to Rush Limbaugh. A lot. I also listen to Mark Levin. They're both nuts but Mark Levin, in my opinion, is highly intelligent.

It sucks that Rush Limbaugh has lung cancer but Rush was never one to have an informed, reasoned take on any topic, including the dangers of smoking. Still, he is an adult, he bought his tickets, and he knew, or should have known, what he was getting into.

Rush isn't all that intelligent, but he is good at figuring out people, and he understood that his listeners love simple messages and raw emotion. Rush is very good at taking a complicated issue, pretending it isn't complicated, and explaining it at a level his listeners can understand. And the message was always "Republicans are good, Democrats are evil, and if you agree then you're smart and they're stupid."

His listeners love that shit. When they listen they feel entertained, informed and educated, and they don't have to spend any energy actually thinking about a topic. They feel confident in their view of the world because Rush was there every weekday telling them how smart they were. And the show is filled with other people, like them, who'd call in with "major dittos."

That's a significant portion of America, and they're going to miss him. I'm not sure if someone can take his place.

When Rush dies, there will be one fewer dishonest charlatan on the airwaves.

What a curious thing to whine about. 

There are a lot of drive by reppers in the CR.  Most of them neggers.  If you are going to make a stink about drive by repping, that would be a better place to start imo.

Except for the fact that this drive-by repper hasn't posted a single time since 2018, but he has remained active by only repping over the duration. This isn't the first time I've noticed.

You know, I take issue with people saying Rush, Trump, and other charlatans like them are “smart.” They’re not stupid, but they’re not especially smart. What sets them apart isn’t any special intelligence, UT rather their willingness to tell a gullible audience what they want to hear, in order to reap personal gain.
That doesn’t take any special intelligence. All it takes is a complete lack of moral compass or any external guiding moral principles. It requires that you be, essentially, a sociopath. There’s no genius in that at all. It’s just that they made a choice to advance themselves by lying to people and manipulating them. And it works, but in terms of money and power. Most of the rest of us choose differently.
If the rest of us didn’t have any ethics, we might make more money or accumulate more power. But we don’t. Because we’re not fucking sociopaths. There’s nothing to admire about these men.

[Paul Wesley 3277]

I haven't read through this whole thread, so this has surely already been pointed out...

There are a ton of audio and video clips out there recounting Rush's racism, bigotry, and general meanness.  But I think that - by far - the worst thing he's done is something he says 50+ times every show.  "Liberals hate America."  "Liberals want to destroy this country."  "It's just another example of how liberals are pure evil, folks."  

That shit has taken a giant toll on this country.  

After decades of repetition, his audience has heard it so much that they swallow it down like a cult.  Nobody flips on the AM radio and then thinks critically and says, "Yeah, I have friends/family with liberal politics, and I know for a fact that they are not a demon who wants to destroy America."

Rush has done as much to divide this country as any person alive. 

And he is the personification of hypocrisy.  He rails against immigrants, and in racist-coded language (e.g. "thugs") he argues for stiff penalties for criminals.  Then he goes back to his mansion and sends his undocumented housekeeper to fetch him vast quantities of illegal narcotics.  He calls for "family values" and faith-based morality, then heads to the airport to take a private jet to the Caribbean with a woman who is not his wife, and a bottle of viagra prescribed to someone else.  

As I type that last paragraph, it occurs to me that we shouldn't have been surprised by the willingness of today's white evangelicals to support an obviously immoral and un-Christ-like cult leader.

So, neither EMAW — nor you — can produce an example of a single poster who exhibits the same sort of racist rhetoric Limbaugh used against a political opponent (bones in noses), but you still decided it’s a good idea to respond with a random video clip of a black sports fanatic making funny animal sounds to prove some point.

I haven't listened to the old fat fuck for like 30 years.  Way back then, he talked about conservative topics and poked fun at libruls.  It was kind of good natured, actually.  More of a gag than anything.  Like Oliver or Bill Maher, but in a less-toxic environment, so less polarizing and caustic.  Old Colbert, maybe.

But, it appears that the "poking fun" swallowed everything else and became "pwning the libs."  He may, in fact, be responsible for that whole rhetorical device.

Yes and the notion that Rush (conservatives) put forth with regards to climate change, that our influence is not large enough, nor could ever be large enough to cause man made global warming/climate change because of God or convenience is a dangerous opinion, or more of a notion really.

I was watching a documentary on Teflon last night (The Devil We Know). Aside from yet again showing corporate bad behavior with human interest stories there was an interesting point that was illustrated and backed up with actual science: That the fluorine compounds and their waste  that form the working parts of teflon and other related non stick compounds are so persistent and pervasive and have been discarded and used so universally that 99% of all humans have these compounds in their bodies, where they did not exist before.

We also know about plastic showing up in the bodies of people living in the isolated portions of the European Alps as well as just about everybody else.

..or about Mercury showing up in almost all pelagic species.

What the fuck is wrong with people?  

So there is one positive to Rush.  I was a young Republican and I listened to Rush on the regular.  One day he was going on about how there's no way we could have any control over climate change (at the time it was still being called global warming), and I'm rooting him on agreeing with him because I agree, Mt. St. Helens blew up and already its grown back and is just as beautiful and lush as it always was just 30 years later.  A couple years later my dad visited Mt. St. Helen's and I brought up to him that it must've been impressive to see all that vegetation where there was such devastation in the 80's, and my dad, also a super Republican, was like "WTF are you talking about, it's still a wasteland."  

That's when I first realized that I could not trust people who I agreed with just because I agreed with them, and I needed to start checking my own facts.  And it was going down that path, and checking my own facts, that pushed me out of the Republican party not long after that discussion with my dad.  So had Rush not flat out fucking lied to all of us about that, you might have already crowd sourced me for being a troll because I'd still be believing whatever Rush or whoever was telling me, regardless of what my lying eyes were telling me.

Fuck Rush. He knowingly lies specifically to line his pockets and advance an agenda. He is now reaping what he's been sowing for decades.

Rush is a propagandist. Pure and simple. And the lies poison minds. Propagandists are legion in our politics, but Rush was a long dagger of disinformation.

He isn't as sociopathic as Kissinger, but Rush's stain over this representative democracy has a long tail.

He definitely was commanding in the defense of Bush II. That may have been his zenith for influence. Rove fed him the narrative.

Rush got going with the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine by Reagan. The Fairness Doctrine required FCC stations to provide equal time for political viewpoints. Reagan got rid of it - and Rush could be played everywhere and no need for a counter-viewpoint. It popped Rush up as a star after a good run a radio before (and a stint as a baseball radio guy). 

Rush gave the Republican narrative for high and low information voters. Still does, but holding that together is like herding cats.

It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you...Firsthand smoke takes 50 years to kill people, if it does. Not everybody that smokes gets cancer. Now, it's true that everybody who smokes dies, but so does everyone who eats carrots ... I would like a medal for smoking cigars, is what I'm saying."
