Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I love it!
The greatest fear liberals have is the truth.
LOL! Great piece — thanks for posting!
we gotta make ‘em take the blue pill...

Hear from liberals who took the bait.
There won't actually be any, of course; "taking the bait" for a Liberal would require at least a modicum of integrity and personal courage.
There will be some who will claim to have listened, of course... they'll be lying, naturally, just like the Seminar Callers to Rush's show.
This is printed in the LA Times? Quick, check to see if California is still there or been swallowed by an earthquake.
I really enjoyed that article.
Of all the indications of Rush’s superiority over the libs, the one that I love the most is that he (a high school graduate) can out think and out debate the Obamaloon (Harvard Law). One must think about how the loon got that degree,
The liberal bandwagon is akin to a lynch mob. You can’t get a lynch mob to listen to reason... and you’re not going to get very many liberals who really listen to Rush.
If one of two of them do actually take the author’s advice and listen for a good length of time, they will probably stay in the lynch-mob-mentality mind-set.
Reason doesn’t easily reach the lynch-mob-mentality mind-set.
Especially when it is the lynch-mob’s own victim trying to reason with the mob. I can’t imagine that ever working.
Still, this is a good article and I thank the writer for writing it. I’m just not very optimistic of it having much effect.

Eleven years ago we used to drive frequently from the Bay Area to Southern Utah. I always made certain to turn the radio dial to Limbaugh on those long stretches down Highway 5.
Dear wife was always annoyed in the beginning. I loved it when she started being the one to try to find him as we passed through Barstow and over to Vegas.
Point of it is: She figured out that she too was a conservative but prior to Rush she had no political direction. She indeed woke up and freed herself from the bonds of, I’m a “Moderate”.
Years ago, I figured out Rush Limbaugh’s big secret, why he is so popular and other people listen to him. And it’s very hard to duplicate—try it sometime and it will leave you squirming in your seat.
Rush Limbaugh always used the second or third-best “punchline” in what he says. Not just humor, but in making a point. It leaves his audience at the edge of their seat, because they personally can think of the *better* “punchline”, and that makes them feel good and part of the “conversation”.
“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get across the street!”, says Limbaugh.
And everybody in the audience thinks, “No! To get to the other side! Hee hee, ha ha!” They get the “*honors* to finish the thought”.
Importantly, critically, this is *not* talking down to an audience. They have to *get* the idea to finish the idea. So Limbaugh can use great complexity in the build-up, because his audience is far more attentive than for a typical radio show.
But let me tell you, this technique is not easy. It is very, very hard to use. And the rewards are high as well—you would become the “life of the party” if you could do it consistently. But for almost everybody, their ego would be screaming at them to give the *best* punchline.
“You did the work, so you should get the reward!”, of giving the punchline.
Obama has made such an ass out of himself in the last 60 days, all you need to do is mention the government spending and liberals go silent. They know.
My favorite response to Limbaugh critics is “What do you disagree with him about?”
A good one.
Really enjoyable piece. It reminds me of talking to my boss who said something about Rush’s hate-filled rhetoric. I told him that having listened to Rush since 1989, I could say that my data sample was broad enough to tell me this wasn’t the case.
