Its not just Limbaugh, Coulter has a devastating column up on her website concerning Huckabee as well.
They have something in common as both have pointed out. Gore can't debate global warming, Huckebee refuses to debate Darwinism, as both subjects are phoney. I'd like to add one more: Hillary. She can't debate because she's phoney too.

My point is that it is laughable that people put so much stock in a radio personality who has one goal - make money. He spouts whatever will bring him ratings. This criticism, often repeated, misses the point - what brings Rush his monster ratings is "spouting" what he really believes in. He is smart enough to know if he deviates from talking about the things he is passionate about his audience will know and he will be done. What I find really interesting is that Rush has actually been extremely easy on Huckabee when he could rip him to shreds on any number of issues, and still the Huckabee crowd is whining and screaming.

Boy, now I know how to get a bunch Freepers upset, criticize the great Rush Limbaugh. What is funny is how personal you all get. Nice to see that so many people are able to set aside intellectual curiosity and allow Rush Limbaugh to do their thinking for them.

If Rush can get Hairy Screed to use the power of the Senate to draft a letter condemning him, he can bring Huggabee down in just a few comments.
He is that powerful.

Rush is Right.Amen. Methinks this religious "war" in the Repub Party is the work of Dick Morris and Democrats. I even believe he is getting money from the Dems. You can't run a campaign with no money.
Morris was on BOR last night and when he started to bash Romney, BOR stated that Morris was assisting Huck. Morris denied it and BOR repeated it. Made clear Morris with Huck.

I catch about a half hour a month. I’m not much into talk radio anymore. When I want news I Freep!
To: mcjordansc
Yeah, I bet you’d get about the same response if said something as stupid about Ronald Reagan.
Hate to burst your fantasy and prejudices, but I’m quite capable of thinking for myself.

..obviously your not a fan of Rush.
I’ve listen to him for over 12 years and you can’t be more wrong on your assessment. Rush has constantly said...he endorses no one yet...way too early. What you’ve done is bought into the MSM hype about who Rush is...what he’s said...and what the MSM is telling people he’s thinking...which is a dead give away

See that is what is funny - if a person posts something that seems to not be gospel to the Free Republic regulars, they are immediately accused of being some sort of infiltrator. While not a frequent poster, I have been posting here for eight years. Your problem is that you have no ability to allow dissenting views to be expressed even when they are coming from someone who more often than not is on your side.
To: Maynerd
I’d almost assume vote for Hillary than Huckie if he’s that bad. At least then, Republicans couldn’t be blamed for inevitable economic fallout.

Yeah and maybe that fin knifing toward you is a friendly dolphin just coming by to see if you need help.
I don’t know if you are a Huckster cultist or not, but if you are trashing Rush on this board may not help your guy.

[He can win without Rushs blessing. Rush does not have that much power. Most people understand by now that Rush is nothing more than a pill popping, thrice divorced hypocrite laughing all the way to the back because of the sheeple who continue to buy his line of b.s.]
That is just a flagrantly mindless statement. Rush Limbaugh isn’t perfect, but he absolutely runs mental circles around every other commentator except perhaps Mark Steyn.
Thanks for calling 90% of Free Republic sheeple. Unless you just forgot the sarcasm tag.
