Not everyone makes a career of it. Yeah, it's true, almost everyone's hypocritical (and yes, including me), but when your entire presence turns out to be phony, you just can't expect people to listen anymore. Maybe if you made some attempt to clean up or to change. But to sit there and still condemn people who are just like you when everyone knows it is sad. And it just is too painful to stay tuned to.
First of all, I don't accept your strawman premise; it's divorced from reality.
And building on your false premise, you go on to say that because of it people can't be expected to listen any more????? Now that is a REAL riot!!!!
His audience is bigger than ever so they must be "bad" people if they would want to listen to a "bad" person like him, huh? He can't expect "good" people such as yourself to want to listen to him.
Some would say that arrogant, shallow statements like yours exhibit a MAJOR lack of discernment --- at the LEAST.
I would agree with those who would say that. Rush is out of your league. You may as well not listen because it's evident that too much goes zinging right over your head.
