what these total idiots didn't bother to even consider much less discuss is that 'talk radio' is a BUSINESS and is subject to market forces like any other business.

the fact they ignore is that liberal-slanted radio DOESN'T sell. 'air america' is the case in point.

[backhoe]

Neighbor, I read some of this swill elsewhere, and I will just point out that without listeners and sponsors ( like Air America couldn't attract ) talk radio would wither.

Furthermore, there is no more egalitarian a a venue than talk radio. ( The Australians, with a neat turn of phrase, call it "talkback radio," and that describes it to a "tee.")

Love it?

Hate it?

Agree?

Disagree?

All you have to do is pick up the phone and call 'em up.

How much fairer can you get? You sure can't do that with the opinionators in print or the chatterers on TV...

Sounds like she was talking about obama and the partisan liberal media (cnn,msnbc,abc,cbs,nyt,and the like) when she said: “operating like the bully, and if you’re on the playground...you want to be...under the bully’s wing and go along with him and get...some power by proxy.”

Come to Santa Cruz. HERE you can get all the liberal talk radio you want. I have listened to a Wiccan ‘panel’ discussion and a variety of conspiracy theories delivered in hushed tones. Gee....I wonder how much advertising those particular stations get? Hmmm...no...I don’t remember any commercials at all.....it must be a conspiracy. The liberal town must be conspiring against it’s liberal wiccan and consipracy radio stations.......

I like Rush but am not a dittohead. I listen to Rush to hear him direct the Liberals/Progressives daily lives.
His accuracy rating is over 99%.
Question:
Why do the liberals/progressives always do what Rush predicts?

[LearsFool]

What is this, the latest demonization tactic? Paint conservatives as suffering from mental illness, so they can round us up and institutionalize us “for our own and the nation’s good”?

[SERKIT]

"...you want to be...under the bully’s wing and go along with him and get...some power by proxy....”

Isn't this why Rahm joined up with the rest of the Chicago Thug Wing of the Dems?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Why didn’t CNN offer to have Rush give the rebuttal?

[TribalPrincess2U]

he’s “operating like the bully, and if you’re on the playground...you want to be...under the bully’s wing and go along with him and get...some power by proxy.”

They are talking about 0 here, right? He has more media coverage then all conservative talk show hosts put together.

He's just not as popular so he has to play dirty like any good bully. This is why they want everything done on a fast track, so we won't know what hit us.

[AlanGreenSpam]

The odd thing about all this is that OBEYME and his Chicago Thugs are the bullies with their thought police, social control, and condescension, NOT Rush Limbaugh.

Rush Limbaugh just shines a light on the cockroaches and their hypocrisy. Not exactly bullying.

[junta]

And your typical white liberal being an emotionally weak dupe fears strong men. There I trumped their psycho babble with mine, case closed.

[Jeff Chandler]

Psychiatrists have attested to the mental derangement of Whittaker Chambers, Barry Goldwater, George W. Bush, etc.

An advanced degree does not confer intelligence, let alone wisdom.

Maybe Dr. Gail Saltz should start analyzing MSNBC where she works before she starts on anyone else! There are plenty of fruits & nuts on there to keep her busy for quite a long time.

I just love how television 'experts' can analyze anyone they have never met much less talked to. That leads me to believe she doesn't have much credibility since a competent doctor would never try to analyze a person with whom they have never made contact.

[Tribune7]

brought on a liberal psychiatrist who theorized that Rush Limbaugh has an audience because he’s “operating like the bully, and if you’re on the playground...you want to be...under the bully’s wing and go along with him and get...some power by proxy.”

Gee, that certainly seems to be an indication of malice calling someone a playground bully and all.
