>>That's perhaps the most maddening, diabolically clever thing about his show, the faux populism that persuasively claims to be looking out for the little guy, all the while touting policies that tilt tax codes and regulatory policies further in favor of him and his kind.<<

When did Rush say he was looking out for the "Little guy"?
That's a liberal term. Rush looks out for hard working, thinking guys and gals. That's it, that's all.

In many ways Rush is looking out for the 'little guy' but unlike so many self appointed lib leaders, he doesn't SAY so. It's in his actions. He did a show once about people who got downsized, had no money then became successful people. He tells people not to make excuses. I can't tell you how many of my customers now listen to Rush Limbaugh, and don't call me nutty oreo conservative...lol I always found Rush to be inspiring because he doesn't wallow in self pity.


Liberals thrive on people's self pity, victim mentality and bad self esteem. Libs are the tape worms in the intestine of America.

As with most leftists who bash Rush, their only point of familiarity with his show and views are from talking with other Rush bashers about what they think of Rush and his views... I was listening to Rush at work one day, and a co-worker came up to me and said, smirking, "Rush is wrong!" I asked him, "Wrong about what?" His response was, "He's just wrong." After grilling him, he admitted that he had never listened to Rush, knew nothing about his views (except that he was "wrong") and had no intention of listening to him. I asked him how someone who is supposed to be good at thinking things through (he's a top notch troubleshooter and technician) could come up with views like that, based on nothing but heresay.

Over and over again, this professor states things that are based on what he and other Rush bashers believe that Rush said, without ever checking them out.

I think that my favorite part was his analysis about how we (the Rush fans) listen to him, just to feel better about ourselves, which, of course is wrong (unless you're a liberal, which is when your self image is all important!). How we're looking for validation of our (according to this pinhead) mistaken views. Of course, it wouldn't happen to do with the fact that leftists have dominated the news and information world for so long, that he feels that's the way things should be, the natural order. And more importantly, he can't understand that we're thrilled to have an unfiltered news and information source, which isn't pushing a leftist agenda.

Is Rush pushing an agenda? I think "pushing" is too hard a word. I think that he presents it, as opposed to the leftists, who shove their agenda down everyones' throats...
