It’s nothing personal against Rush. I like him and hope he gets out of the mess he’s in.
When Rush says something on the air, five million people hear it. “Nothing will happen to Lois Lerner, nothing will happen to Obama” creates a narrative among conservatives. It quiets their passion. The fire goes out.
Millions of people trust Rush Limbaugh. I know in his heart he wants to live up to that trust.
OK, against my better judgment I will attempt another stab
at it.
You say that Limbaugh is demoralizing his audience by suggesting
that they not expect the IRS or Obama to suffer any blowback re-
garding this scandal (and other scandals). In other words people
need to give up and let it go. Well, just what is Limbaugh’s over-
all goal? It is to “gain and hold the widest possible audience in
order to charge confiscatory advertising rates’. Do you think that
by demoralizing his base and, thus, turning them away he can
accomplish that goal? Do you think he is that stupid? He has been
doing this particular program since 1988, has made many millions
of dollars while making millionaires out of numerous advertisers
(think Sleeptrain, Snapple) and, yet, your wisdom surpasses his when
it comes to his program? I submit that you need to look elsewhere.
If Limbaugh wants his audience to forget this IRS scandal then why
is he still talking about it? You may listen but you obviously do not
listen very carefully. But, again, if he is toxic to your soul then you
should never listen to him.
