what is Rush saying? Anything about EXIT SPICER and Reince?


The first hour was a tribute to Roger Ailes. He and Rush were close friends and Ailes produced his TV show. Ailes had a great slogan he passed around at Fox:

"Negative people make healthy people sick."

i think i've found the disconnect with conservatives. they think listening to a guy that's paid to rile up their emotions is critical thinking

Sorry I don't listen to pundits, right or left. I get the source information and make my own judgments. That's critical thinking.



Rush has lots of sources. Basically his entire show is reading various media accounts (from left to right) and analyzing it. He isn't someone who just sits there and reads Fox News or New York Post.

He actually invented this format back in 1988. Every talk radio show host owes a lot to Rush Limbaugh. He may not have been the absolute first political talker, but he was certainly original in his format and style and created an army of copy-cats.

well, private jets to the islands are pricey and the OxyContin 200mg runs about $5 a pill in Santo Domingo alone - he is rich - but still needs the cash flow in.

If you continue to make comments about a program you don't listen to people will continue to think you're ignorant.
Rush does not rile people up. He analyzes the news stories in a very cogent intellectual way. If you want to see 'riling up' then check out ABC, NBC and CBS news.

I listen to Rush because he reflects my opinions and values, he provides information that is hard to find on the leftist MSM outlets, he seldom has to issue a retraction, he pisses off libtards and that's just damn fine entertainment, he is an effective right leaning "community organizer", and he won't run for president like other organizers who shall remain nameless!

Rush doesn't need to hire a private jet, and he doesn't need to earn another dime. He "owns" a $65 million dollar Gulfstream G550. There are people that are rich, then there are those that are wealthy, with a net worth estimated between $600K and $1 billion, and a annual income from his show and advertising of $85 million, Rush is the latter. If you are going to insult someone at least use facts.

Rush's best thing is starting off confessing he "doesnt really understand" the topic.

1. I'm glad you're listening.
2. I missed that. What was the topic that he did not understand?

Of all the ignorant, hypocritical things I've heard a liberal say, this has to be the most absurd.

I agree. And Celtic (Tuba) won't be answering my question above because he doesn't listen to Rush. And he knows I'm going to make him look like the lying POS that he is. I hate doing it. But somebody has to.

The rush haters are always good for a laugh. It's like they have never even listened to the show

I once heard him howl at a picture of Chelsea Clinton, in between yelling at everyone and telling them what to think. Critical thinking? You dont even know what that is.


That was so like early to mid 90's.

"Lipstick on a Pig" is much more insulting and was used versus the VP running mate of BHO's adversary by him.

Glass houses and stuff man.

You're clearly seeking affirmation and not information.
