I’ve listened to Rush since 1992. I quit listening to him about a year ago.
I usually spend about 45 minutes every morning reading news from FR, Weasel Zippers, Breitbart, NewsBusters, The Blaze, etc.
I find that I am normally 24-48 hours ahead of Rush on any given issue. Then when he says something about any issue, I already know what he thinks about it because I’ve heard it all for 22 years. Combined with him pushing his overpriced, gimmicky tea and his goofy kids’ book and golf stories and refusal to use his pulpit to actually change anything, I get nothing of value from listening to him any more.
Sorry, Rush. It was fun while it lasted. I have moved on.
I have been done with Rush Limbaugh for a long, long time, because he is a scoffer and scorner, profiting on inflating and rolling in others' errors. After listening to his radio fare a few times, I made sure I never read his books or his comments that have been posted here verbatim.
The Spirit's Holy Scripture has convinced me that God cannot bless one who makes Limbaugh's ungodly radio fare a daily lust. Why?
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Prov. 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Prov. 3:34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. (Here "he" is Jehovah G0d; see Ps. 2:1-4)
Prov. 19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
Prov. 9:7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
Prov. 9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Prov. 13:1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
Prov. 14:6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
Prov. 15:12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
Prov. 19:25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
Prov. 21:11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
Prov. 21:24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
Prov. 22:10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
Prov. 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
Hab 1:9-10 They** shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. (** "they" are the Chaldeans=Babylonians whom God allowed to enslave and deport the Judeans for a generation for their idolatry.)
Jud 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignit(ar)ies.

I believe God will punish us just as much for listening to commentators like Limbaugh as He will for our bowing to the objects of Liombaugh's ruthless mockery.
Rush pretends to be moral, but he is merely a profiteer of moralism, not as a Christian. Those who swill his stirred-up fecal matter are just as stupid as the liberals that create it, IMHO.
And as I expect, because of saying this, his worshippers will now throw a lot of that fecal matter my way also, won't they?
Don't expect me to respond.
Sounds like he’s hoping his little opinion gets some air time.
I hope Rush ignores this person and advises his screeners not to let this topic through.
.
Considering that Colbert has mostly been seen by viewers ‘in character’, there is a good chance the unmasked Colbert will flop.
Many will tune in to see him ‘in character’ and may be disappointed to find someone else.
"I write from the left on politics and policy."
But personally - the 50/50 mix of news and commentary to advertising is no longer for me. The day someone invents a "radio DVR" with a skip forward button is the day I go back to talk radio.
Is that old windbag still on the air?
The yahoo writer is pretty silly, but limbaugh jumped the shark for a lot of people a long time ago. My first wake up call that I had to intentionally try to ignore was in the hours and days just before and after Waco where his biggest problem with janet reno was that she didn’t give the order to burn those people alive sooner. But today I’m okay with the clucking fools in the establishment wasting their time taking pot-shots at limbaugh instead of demonizing gun owners, divorced fathers and people who just want to be left alone.
Talk about psychological projection...my word!
The left has utterly destroyed the main stream news outlets => nobody is watching.
This is the reason why the left dominated media is in a panicked pursuit of new mediums...namely: late night comedy and the notably the NFL audience, but sports in general.
With respect to the NFL/sports we have the onslaught of agitation propaganda about concussions, the celebration of gay players, unionizing college basketball, Bob Castas bleeding heart gun gripes, and on, and on, etc.
Different mediums, different tactics => same agenda.
They know it, Limbaugh knows it, we know it...who doesn’t know this instinctively?
They’ll fail faster now and they probably know that, but the goal is short term (2014/2016 elections).
Rick Ungar is that Felix’s son?
At least he owns up, that that is indeed an ice pick in his hand, and yes, he has it in for Rush.
More GOP-E enmity, belittlement, and backbiting, and now they're taking on Limbaugh. They'll wish they'd stepped into a gorilla cage instead and barked "FU!" at the owner.
So, lessee, what is the new qualification trash line, for being "allowed" to comment on American public life? Oh, yes -- I forgot -- a master's from Yale. Okay, I get it now. Everybody else eff off.
Rush at the end of the road...
yep, absolutely...
bump
They think the perfect time to ridicule conservatives is any time btween 12:00am and 11:59:59pm.
Rush may be done. But that would be because he is mortal and getting older. While I don’t listen to him much anymore, I would bet he has a decade or so to go.
I wouldn't bet against Rush at this point, but time will tell soon enough.
Somewhere along the line he lost some of that, the show got kinda boring, the Internet became my news source, and my schedule conflicted with his time slot.
So I rarely get to listen anymore, and even when I do, it's just not the same. I really think that he doesn't enjoy it like he used to is a big part of it.
Still news of his demise is over-exaggerated and premature.
