Bogus poll says Rush less popular than Jeremiah Wright
IHateTheMedia.com ^ | 02/05/09

(link to Poll PDF and a Wright video compilation in the article)

According to a recent poll (view PDF of poll here), Rush Limbaugh is one of America’s the most unpopular political figures.

Calm down, relax, take a deep breath. It’s all nonsense.

The poll, conducted by the research firm Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner, says Rush’s public-approval rating is just 21 percent among likely voters. That’s seven points lower than Reverend Jeremiah Wright and eight points lower than domestic terrorist and Obama pal Bill Ayers.

Here’s why it’s bogus. Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner is a Democratic research firm run by Stan Greenberg. You remember Stan Greenberg. He’s the guy who joins in a daily conference call with buddies Rahm Emanuel, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Begala, and James Carville.

We thinking of conducting our own poll. How many of you think we should do it?

That was a joke. Conducting a poll. How many think we should do it? Get it?

They hate Rush because he scares the hell out of them.

No differently than Sarah Palin does.

Which is why I fully support them both.

have fun, libbies. A Day of Reckoning is coming.

IMO it would be very enlightening for America to hear his views.

Ever listen to Al Sharpton’s radio show? I have. Seems to be a whole lot of callers talking about how The Man harrasses them and holds them down. Still. Everything is about race, even the normal issues one faces in one’s community.

They discussed the matter (all 4 of them) at their daily meeting and took a survey by private ballot.

Wright would only be “more popular” with human trash.

Wright could only WISH he had the following Rush has. Then he could afford an even BIGGER mansion in Chi-town than the one he’s building. Whaddadope!

This isn’t a poll. It is a policy statement by demorat operatives.
Trash bin enhancement.

That's hilarious! Thank you for pointing it out. I missed it. These people are insane. I don't know what "likely voters" would have to do with anything. Limbaugh and Wright are not running for anything.

“The poll, conducted by the research firm Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner”

Stan Greenburg is married to current Rep. Rosa DeLauro, representative from the Third District from Connecticut.
