Yeah - that happens fairly often. He understands politics and the behavioural patterns of 'Rats, but when it comes to weightier matters such as law, economics, science, or corporate finance, he is thin on the substance.

My view exactly. But when I said (posted) that before, I got thoroughly trashed. (I hope I will get kinder treatment for a reply :-))

I think it's very hard to listen to anyone who is so determined that his opinions are right and everyone else is wrong because eventually there's going to be something you disagree with him on. I agree with Rush probably 70 to 80 percent of the time. But anyone who has a mind of their own is going to disagree with him at some point. And with Rush's way of acting, he's bound to try to make you sound like an idiot when you do.

It has become increasingly obvious to me that Rush is NOT knowledgable on a variety of subjects. He depends heavily on certain people (like Mark Levin) and often glosses over places where he is unsure.

I still listen occasionally, but my primary purpose in listening to him years ago was because I had no other media source for my point of view. With the advent of Fox, the use of the internet, and other talk radio programs, I don't find him as important to me.

That does not mean he isn't important; he is, because of his large audience. It's just that I don't consider him a primary source of information.
