This has been one of the great panics and scares in American history, rivalling Nativism and the Salem Witch Trials. A liberal paranoid episode in orchestrated hysteria with Rush cast in the role of bogeyman. It's likely many of the participants are angry women with Post-Abortion Rage Sydrome and PETA fanatics suffering from low protein and B vitamin deficiencies.

If you follow the anti-Rush panic and break it down logically the best they can come up with in their arguments is basically this:
"There is this big fat guy who says mean things about us!"

To which conservatives should say, "So what? Turn the radio off or turn it to another station."

This is the liberal paranoid style. It's not new, it's not hope, and it's not change. It won't transform anyone and it won't lead to a new bipartisan era.

They need to take some niacin, B-12, eat some protein, and mellow out.

Mann also called Rush a dropout, insinuating failure. But Rush has obviously lead a successful profession life in the highest echelon of his industry.

And the fact that he didn't go to college is actually an advantage in his case in that he never was brainwashed by leftist professors.

I know who Rush is.
I'm not sure I know who Obama is.

Rush is probably the most popular radio talk show host in America.
Obama has accomplished very little in his life except for being the editor of the Harvard Law Review and getting elected to public office. (Some might say he has authored two books, but we're not sure about that.)

CNN is also participating in "lookism", "weightism" and "racism". They positively do not approve of balding fat white men.

If there were any justice in this world all the critters at CNN would self immolate.

Good point. Consider this question as well:

Which group has done more lasting damage to the United States during the past 50 years:

A. College dropouts
B. Harvard and Yale-educated Rhodes scholars

Exactly.

Rush Limbaugh isn't black, slim, stylish or well schooled.

He's better schooled than the Ivy league imposter.

"He's a Republican with no elected office but a powerful hold on his party..."

That's like saying 'George Soros has no elected office but a powerful hold on his party' - The Democrats

But I'm sure the Democrats would deny it.

The Article is representative of modern, typically compromised journalism.

Rush Limbaugh isn't black, slim, stylish or well schooled. He's a Republican with no elected office but a powerful hold on his party and a place in the news once again... a big-bellied man who bellows into the radios of millions of people... confident, uncomplicated and almost always on the attack against Democrats, feminists and anyone on the Left... The Democrats... think that Limbaugh, 58, is the very personification of an ugly Republican stereotype: he's a small-town college drop-out, an angry white man, who they believe offends the ethnic, urban and educated Americans the Democrats want to attract... even in the midst of a profound economic crisis... Limbaugh says he hopes President Obama's recovery plan fails. "What is so strange about being honest and saying, 'I want Barack Obama to fail, if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation?' Why would I want that to succeed?"

I asked a few of my under30 employees what they knew about Rush this morning:

“He’s that fat blow-hard who wants Obama to fail.”

Have you ever listened to him?

“No...I would never listen to him.”

We ignore the impact of the media at our own peril.

re: Harvard Law Review

That Obama, the Harvard Law wonderboy, thinks deficit tax&spend socialism will work (during a Recession!) speaks volumes.

Speaking of the Harvard Law Review...can someone show me one Review with Obama’s name on it?

What exactly does this article hope to accomplish? Conservatives who read this drivel are going to laugh. Liberals will just nod their heads in agreement. This is why attacking Rush is stupid on the Left’s part. If he’s the stereotype of what Republicans are, then just let him talk and damage the party, right?

The affirmative action track at Harvard must follow different rules and standards. Maybe Susan Estrich could fill everyone in.

Rush does not bellow. This “I hope he fails” thing is hardly the latest sensation, it was yesterday’s news last week. And I doubt seriously if Mr. Mann has ever listened to a single one of his broadcasts.
