I heard Savage bash hunters one day. I stopped listening after that.

I can't fucking stand hate him. If I make myself listen to him, I tend to find I agree with him, but his delivery disgusts me. NPR is the opposite. I love the delivery but I have to turn it off sometimes because of my blood pressure. View Quote this sums up his problem, women hate him. |

I can't fucking stand him. If I make myself listen to him, I tend to find I agree with him, but his delivery disgusts me. Well, so did I! I have a problem with being too self assured and confident. I used to be extremely egotistic, but I got over that. Maybe it takes one to know one. Maybe I miss the 1990s, when I was young, but mature and seasoned. (I hit 34 in 1990, and well, you can do the math.) You know, Dave Ramsey and Rush Limbaugh do share some thing in common. I don't listen to either any more. I got the message. |

When Rush started trashing the establishment republicans I started listening more. Wish he would do more boycotts and interviews.
At least Oreilly told his audience to boycott Mexico until they release our Marine. I didn't hear Rush say that. |

I love the delivery but I have to turn it off sometimes because of my blood pressure. You are one conflicted gal. I'm not. I want fiscally conservative messages delivered in a conversation, low key tone. I want Robert Siegel's voice making Limbaugh's points. eta: not that they're all good points. Rush has said some irrational bullshit too. |

Quoted:
Rush's voice is so monotonous, that it becomes annoying as back ground noise. I much prefer Sean Hannity. View Quote Hannity is the essence of a rhino. He just hopped on the conservative band wagon. Fake, fraud, phony.... I remember when he interviewed GWB in 2009 and uncontrollably gushed how wonderful he was.... Levin is a constitution genius! |

Rush isn't "self assured and confident". He's an obnoxious blowhard and he comes off insecure. Just like Howard Stern. They both sound like low self esteem losers lashing out. eta: and slandering women with bullshit that isn't germane to the discussion also makes me hate his shit talking, insulting ass. |

I stopped listening once the Cult of Personality became the focal point of the show rather than the content.
Rush is an entertainer, if you can be ok with that he's fine to listen to. Personally, I was looking to him to use the power of his microphone to force the Republican's hand on Fast and Furious. Instead, I got further reinforcement that he's part of them and the system. |
|
No. I don't listen to him with any regularity, but he's quite perceptive on most issues. He comes across as a blowhard.

Quoted:
Ill admit that I listen to Rush every day, and have done so for years. But lately, say the past two years or so, I find myself listening out of habit more so that an interest in what he actually has to say. Yes, he is a potent voice on the Right and his opinions have considerable influence on the rank and file, and to some extent on policy makers, but perhaps that influence is starting to wane. It seems that as of late he spends so much time talking about the NFL, Apple products, or matters that I personally find irrelevant, and spending less and less time discussing political matters that it has sort of become background noise. Maybe his heart isn't in it to the degree it once was, perhaps its his age, or perhaps he's simply in a funk and bored with the whole thing. View Quote Last time I was listening to Rush he was still fantastic so I will have to disagree. |
|
You OP, after a long time listening are now the choir, think about those who daily listen for the first time, he is constantly enlightening new listeners.
That is what is important, perhaps you should have said that it is time for you to go as you stand to gain nothing more from his work unlike those just tuning in. |

He was interesting maybe 20 years ago. Then the cult following, 'ditto's, 'mega ditto's'. Mouth piece for those whom can't think for themselves. And, his voice sounds tinny again, wonder if he's on oxycontin again? Remember in 2003 he was hooked on it and it destroyed his hearing, needed a cochlear implant? "Do as I say, not as I do." Is why you have a dial to change stations. View Quote Perhaps one as insightful as you could start a national media program to help spread conservative ideology? Or you could just keep shit talking someone who has done an incredible job fighting for conservatism. Cause like, fuck conservatism and stuff, you have shit to talk on the internet. |

I like Mark Levin the best. View Quote Yep, Rush is OK but Mark Levin is almost always right on the money. It does happen, but it's rare when I disagree with him. I did disagree with him when he called Grant and Lincoln great men. |

Writing a best selling children's book is the very strategy that the right needs to adopt. Presenting our history with a patriotic slant and having it resonate is a great way to make adolescents and young adults ( who read the book as a child) pause and think about what and how things are presented to them at higher levels of learning. I don't listen everyday but I do enjoy him. As for being a blow hard I don't think he takes himself that seriously.

Rush is an entertainer. For a while he was big into shilling for the GOP no matter what they did. He wasn't against Bush's expansion of Government. Now of course he retracts what he did and is a little more against the GOP but he is only doing that because he sees his market audience changing direction.
I listened to him a lot, especially in High School and he helped form my conservative opinions but I also have grown older and have adopted a more open mindset instead of the classical GOP stance. I think he should hang up the Golden EIB microphone and retire.

Listener for 24 years, and he is as good as ever. He has singlehandedy given a national voice to all of the conservatives that believe in small town, country class values, which are mocked, attacked, and undermined on a daily basis by the entirety of mass media and Hollywood. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh.

Yeah, he has become kind of lame in the past few years. Thought the same thing: "Shit, I'm old and a millionaire to the extreme. Blah blah blah" View Quote Probably because there is almost instantaneous access to news on the internet that wasn't the case when he started. So he is not always presenting something new to you. |

In this thread, we're shit talking an entertainer. If you like, you can start a serious thread on promoting conservatism. I wonder how much good Rush is still doing for conservatism vs how much he's doing to alienate potential conservatives. He contributes to my not calling myself conservative and not identifying with other conservatives. He pushes me closer to our soft spoken and more positive enemy. |

I've actually given this a lot of thought these last few years.
Two things: Rush has stated that his #1 responsibility has always been to remember that it is a business.....and to treat his show as such. Not his personal soapbox, but a business. Secondly, after Zero's re-election, during the first two minutes of the broadcast that next day, he said, "We've lost the country" Based on those two facts, I believe the following: He knows that the country cannot be saved by strongly worded editorials or by voting every other November or by radio shows or anything else. He's a very wealthy man who is living up to his contractual obligations and getting wealthier doing it. He will have a place to sit when the music stops. |

Rush lost his credibility with me when he started to act as an Apologist for Bush.
As far as I'm concerned Rush reached his zenith when Clinton was in office. |
