I got it! You are a spurned caller mad at Rush because of the constant rejections by his call screener.
You used to call up every day with some earth shattering revelation or unbelievably intelligent analysis of the day's topics. You desperately wanted to hear yourself on the radio as well.
What you thought were "brilliant observations" were likely redundant at best (and incoherently inane at worst) ramblings to the call screener.
you couldn't believe Rush and his call screeners were so "stupid" to ignore you--and you eventually, thankfully, gave up.
I also think you are angry over his well-deserved trashing of soccer moms.
"As Rush says, the purpose of the caller is to make the host look good." Sure sounds insecure to me.
You also do not understand Rush's sense of humor. What you see as insecurity, long time LISTENERS know as his tongue-in-cheek bluster. Put the phone down and try listening to the show, it's more enjoyable that way.
But that's OK, I don't expect a soccer mom to understand this. In fact, you win. I give up.
"I got it! You are a spurned caller mad at Rush because of the constant rejections by his call screener." Yawnnnn.....Wrong again. The two times I was actually able to get through, I was put on the air. The first time was in the early nineties and I asked him why Ted Turner would be contributing to Buchanan's campaign. The other time was in the late nineties, when I reminded him of how Clinton overrode his own weapons ban to allow a campaign contributor to import assualt weapons. He applauded me on remembering what he had forgotten. "I also think you are angry over his well-deserved trashing of soccer moms." Once again, you are wrong --- and also lack reading comprehension. I've already addressed that. I first heard the term from Rush. Even though the term was coined by Time Magazine, Rush made it famous. I adopted the term because I thought it was cute and because, in the literal sense, I am a soccer mom. "You also do not understand Rush's sense of humor." I have a sense of humor and I am secure in myself. That's why I can use the handle "soccermom" and laugh while people like you get your panties in a wad, over a tongue-in-cheek handle. "What you see as insecurity, long time LISTENERS know as his tongue-in-cheek bluster. " I've been listening to Rush since 1991 -- even though you won't admit it, I'll bet that is longer than you have been listening. I am capable of distinguishing his humor -- "feminazis", "tell you what to think" etc. His call-screening line is no joke. He is insecure and your desperate attempts to "spin" why I would have the audacity to say such things exposes your own insecurity.
