Thread: How Limbaugh Manipulates Listeners

Ahhhh. but, but, but.

Dissent and opposition voices are healthy. Remember? Of the people, by the people and for the people.

It's our right and obligation as citizens to critique and learn and vote responsibly. Right?

Or did all that nonsense end a week ago?

some think that the reason limbaugh has his panties in a twist is because he wasn't invited to that obama dinner at george will's house a couple of weeks ago. hell hath no fury like an obese, drug addicted talk show host scorned.

I did a search for the fairness doctrine thread (I thought there was one) but I couldn't find it, so I'll put this here.

Comments on the Fairness Doctrine? Will it ever return?

I think it should return. Entertainment with public policy is a bad mix, especially with so many poorly-read people in existence:

Clinton wants 'more balance' on airwaves

Even though no member of Congress has scheduled hearings on the Fairness Doctrine, it remains on a hot topic on both liberal and conservative shows.

Today, radio host Mario Solis Marich asked former President Bill Clinton if it was time for "some type of enforced media accountability."

"Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side," Clinton said, "because essentially there's always been a lot of big money to support the right wing talk shows and let face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly entertaining even when he is saying things that I think are ridiculous...."

Democrats run another Anti-Rush Ad:



Pretty pathetic, eh?

^ Was that issued after his speech at CPAC? hehe
Energising speech. He's good at rallying the troops. Of course the left is castigating him already for "hoping that Obama fails".

Yes it was as the Moonbat Liberals are worried about his ability to 'rally the folks' given their socialist agenda...

on his comedy radio program yesterday, entertainer rush limbaugh lashed out at michael steele.

it's like watching something on animal planet....

I hope that changes. I hope the RNC will get its act together. I hope the RNC chairman will realize he's not a talking head pundit, that he is supposed to be working on the grassroots and rebuilding it, and maybe doing something about our open primary system and fixing it so that Democrats do not nominate our candidates. It's time, Mr. Steele, for you to go behind the scenes and start doing the work that you were elected to do instead of trying to be some talking head media star, which you're having a tough time pulling off. I hope you figure out how to run a primary system. But it seems to me that it's Michael Steele who is off to a shaky start.

A Few Words for Michael Steele

Steele has since rolled on the issue. The big dog won.

The Dems won!

Rush and Steele airing their differences in public just make the Republicans more divided when they are in dire need of a voice to unite themselves. The Republicans are in need of another "great communicator". I don't see one emerging from the current ranks.

Agreed.

The fact that a radio host can hold so much sway and publicly comment on differences with the head of the RNC, reveal the GOP is attempting to find a person or people to unite the party and also for the entire party to find solid ground on approaches.

This is why we saw Bobby Jindal put into the spotlight for the response to the State of the Nation speech.

The GOP has time, and is ernestly working on this. But I don't see anyone nor know of anyone that I can think of to put together the splintered factions.

Yes, the Dems won.

Agreed. But, Limbaugh trumped Steele.

Rush defines himself as a conservative, not a Republican.

He does.

But he's been parroting the RNC line for years. I don't recall him criticizing GWB. He had 8 years to pound GWB and the Repubs and never did, as they spent and spent, and then passed Medicare-D.

Medicare-D required $17 Trillion dollars to be invested at Treasury rates. How much money did the gov have? $0.

GWB is one of the most socialist Presidents in history after FDR, and LBJ.

^ You could say he generaly didn't criticize Bush. He was critical about Bush over illegal immigration, medical prescription benefits, and gun control. There's others but can't think of them at the moment.

for those who don't know, here's an example of the dialogue offered from michael savage:

on July 7, he was fired from his MSNBC television show after remarks made in response to a caller, later identified as prank caller Bob Foster. Foster insulted Savage's teeth. Savage then asked if Foster was a "sodomite", to which the caller answered, "Yes." Savage then said to the caller, "Oh, so you're one of those sodomites. You should only get AIDS and die, you pig; how's that? Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig? You got nothing better to do than to put me down, you piece of garbage? You got nothing to do today? Go eat a sausage, and choke on it. Get trichinosis. Now do we have another nice caller here who's busy because he didn't have a nice night in the bathhouse who's angry at me today? Put another, put another sodomite on....no more calls?...I don't care about these bums; they mean nothing to me. They're all sausages."

hate filled talk radio is a key component in the GOP echo chamber.


btw, everyone here knows about all the racist comments made by limbaugh over the years, right?

Once again you prove yourself to be the most dishonest poster on TD. Your dishonesty knows no bounds. I have never seen a greater partisan hack than ray. To quote TD member Bugs:

Is ray ever going to take responsibility for this stuff he prints? Am I supposed to lump ray in with the 'drive-by' media?

But IS, Rush, a real conservative?

He has two things about him that I question of whether he is a real conservative:

1. His personal life

2. He follows the RNC - until a couple of weeks ago.


I don't buy it. Being "conservative" is a part of his schtick. He needs ratings.

[quote=Boon Mee;981334][.... an intelligent individual like Rush!

Sure than you must like his following "intelligent" quotes :

"Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population.
Who the hell cares."


"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive
women easier access to the mainstream of society."

"I don't give a hoot that [Columbus] gave some Indians a
disease that they didn't have immunity against"

If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people--
I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely
no knowledge whatsoever to do--let the stupid and
unskilled Mexicans do that work."
