In a word ......................................YES !
It’s a job.
Drive BOR off the air first.
What’s your beef with Rush? He doesn’t do interviews, so that part of your argument is out and he came as close to a Primary endorsement he has ever had with Santorum. I don’t feel played at all.
“As for Rush, he is more interested in commercializing the tea party movement with his “Two if by tea” than promoting it.”

Get over it.
Rush is as patriotic as any American that I know.
He is also a great spokesman for the conservative movement.
of course
Yes, but Rush to his credit is pretty open about it. I don’t think he is joking one whit about bolting if the bottom drops out, and why not? Who would not if the option were there? He has also paid his dues and busted the crap out of many a leftist when he is not, in his own words “carrying water” for the Geriatric Old Plantation.
Hannity . . . Don’t like him for a number of reasons so I will withold comment. I don’t think I can be objective about him.
Greedy Capitalists promoting ideas just because it sells.
someone should stop them
Yes....
I’ve gotten to where I don’t take talk radio hosts or news networks seriously, especially if I know they are slanted in one way or another.... Even if it’s a ‘slant’ I agree with.
It’s so easy to turn on virtually any news broadcast(cable or network) and see that they are attempting to manipulate people.
Uh, yes. Notice how quick they fold up and alter their views once their paychecks are in jeopardy.
Have you ever listen to Rush? If so, have you listened to him for long? If you can’t answer yes to both then you have no Idea what you are talking about. If you are truthful and can answer, “yes” to both then I feel sorry for you ... you obviously have missed the point.
As for Hannity, I don’t get to listen to him often, but I would put him in the same category as Rush.
In a marketplace of ideas, the bad ideas go away eventually. CNN. MSNBC, and others are examples of that. There is absolutely nothing to stop you from blogging, becoming a writer, or becoming a talk show host. To keep an audience, you would have to keep some opinions close to your vest. Savage and Stein prove that. Levin is the only one that can call someone a liar, or communist and get back on the air the next day. I think hat's because he's a lawyer and leaves a way out. Look at what's happened to Anne Coulter. I bet her next book isn't quite the best seller she is used to.
All Hannity cares about is how many football tosses he can get into his 1 hour time slot. Yeah yeah shoot your arrows but Glenn Beck is one of the few who actually believes in his message and has forgone big $$$ to do so.
The only one I listen to regularly is Rush. I don’t get to listen to all of every show by any means, but you only have to listen for a few minutes to know how much he wants Obama to be defeated. If you have listened to Rush for as many years as I have, you know that he never endorses anyone in the primary, but will support the eventual nominee because that is the best way to defeat the liberal agenda. BTW, one reason Ruah started his “Two If By Tea” company was to prove that the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and well in America.
Rush and Levin are the only ones I listen to. Occasionally Beck...tho I’m growing tired of the ‘spectacular revelations’ he has (i.e. the Buffett connection to the pipeline deal. FReepers knew about that MONTHS ago!!!)
Hannity drives me nuts and I turn his show OFF as of late. He’s a toadie for the RNC....panders to the establishment with this “can’t we all just get along” attitude.
Particularly pissed about his lecturing to us about Breitbart’s death and that HE knew about Andrew’s heart condition and that we should lay off about the autopsy.
Most annoying with him is his pandering for the ‘black vote’ with the guests and callers he has on. It’s like....”well I know you’re going to vote for Obama......but can I sway you and your kids by sending you a beautiful arrangement of flowers from Pre-Flora and toys for the kids?” It’s disgusting. I’m sorry, No different from what the Democraps promise them. And that’s my damned opinion. So, there.
Rush is the very best he can be. Your comment betrays a smallness of character. Rush speaks honestly but he does not seek to be telling people what to do, but rather how to think conservatively. Your petty comment is a greater indication of what is wrong. What are you doing to help conservatives? Besides bitching and moaning.
Foolish post
Hannity came close as he could to endorsing Cain, and had he or any of them endorsed anyone, every other candidate could have demanded equal time.
Foolish
Occupy the airwaves!
That's your job.
