Obama's a one trick pony in the sense he is very good at one thing...running for elective office. But that skill set is very different than the set of skills needed to govern.

It always is! Not often you find a salesman with a work ethic!

Got proof?

You could consider that Obama graduated magna *** laude from Harvard Law School, after completing his BA at Columbia, while Rush "flunked everything" and dropped out of Southeast Missouri State University after two semesters.

Rush has obviously done well for himself, but yelling into a mic isn't exactly as nuanced as running the US.

I'd like to see BHO's writings, not the 2 autobiographies that Ayers wrote for him.

Mark Steyn is guest-hosting for Rush today. Steyn is always a treat to listen to. WBEN is a good place to go to online if you're looking for good reception.

A 3 year old post and Rush has survived longer than a few of the posters in this thread.

OP...May of 2011...


I wouldn't be surprised if Limbaugh announced soon that he is going to hang it up and retire his microphone. A great advance for human civilization, if you ask me. He'll try to make it seem like it did it voluntarily, but it's because people aren't listening to him as much as they used to.


OP FAIL

Rush's listenership is now restricted to unemployed denizens of trailer parks who grind their grudges of 'goverment' and 'commies' and 'hippies'.. and stay drunk most of the time. I'm sure most of them are fast asleep (passed out) by the end of the show. The Republicans have long written him off as pretty well useless as a political tool.

Got some data backing this up or are you just describing yourself.

Rush Limbaugh Scores ZERO 'Truth' In Politifact Survey - His Pants Are Soooo On Fire


Mr (In) Credibility falls far short of the TRUTH:


Rush Limbaugh Scores ZERO 'Truth' In Politifact Survey - His Pants Are Soooo On Fire


Looks as though the self-proclaimed 'Mayor Of Real-zville' is more like the Pundit Of Poopy Town. The truth-seekers and truth-spillers, Politifact, rated 27 statements by Republican radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh. The king of Hate Radio got zip, zero, nadda, in the full truth department:
True: 0%
Mostly True: 7%
Half True: 11%
Mostly False: 25%
False: 32%
Pants on Fire: 25%

I concur. While in Facebook's Join The Fight To Flush Rush, I monitored the Rush Limbaugh Show for three months, five days a week, three hours a day. Let's just say I took a few for the team. The man was so full of ****, I had to disinfect my radio after each show. As I continue protesting Limbaugh, I still run across trolls and Dittoheads who say,
"If you listened to Rush's show, you wouldn't do what you're doing."
Oh, but I would - and I did. And it was the toughest activism I have experienced thus far. I would try to keep the radio volume down as low as I could, trying desperately not hear his snorts, gurgles and spews, but I'd have to have it loud enough to catch the commercial breaks (so I could quickly write down the sponsor's name, the date, the time, and the station ID.) Then his voice would return. I tell ya, I had to stop. My heart would start pumping erratically, and I would stay angry for hours after. I knew if I didn't stop monitoring his shows, I'd soon be buying the farm. So I put my energies into writing about the Limbaugh protest and other aspects of the protest.
I've never heard anyone spout so much continuous misinformation and propaganda. And he does it in such an insidious way, he does. He starts his statements with:

You know folks, last night I heard… blah, blah, LIE.
I'm not sure if this is true but…blah, blah, LIE.
A source told me…lie, lie, LIE.
The list goes on, and I could almost deal with the lies. I mean, I do believe in free speech. The reason I'm still involved in the protest today, is because the bulk of Limbaugh's lies, provoke the hatred of blacks, LGBT, women, minorities, the differently-abled, the homeless… even poor children. He's a stain on our media. He's a stain on America.
That said, this boycott is much bigger than 'the Limbaugh.' This is about sending a message to large corporations -

When you support hate mongers, you lose customers.
There's too much competition out there. Why risk alienating 50% or more of your customers? Seems silly. Thousands of sponsors have listened and have pulled ads, and one day Limbaugh will get the final boot from public radio. Oh sure, he'll say it was his decision. And we'll let him and his dittoheads believe that. But the hundreds of thousands who protested him, and the sponsors who left him will know the truth - a word and meaning that's very foreign to Rush Limbaugh.

I find it amazing that the three people who read the DailyKos believe what is written there.

Limbaugh's audience is more numerous than ever.


Well we know one guy who lives by it. He lives by the Daily Kos and that other conspiracy theorist that he quotes all the time... his hero.
