For the first time ever, ladies and gentlemen, I listened for 30 seconds....

[Aviation Pro]

...to that drug-addled, obese, boy-buggerer Rush Limbaugh. I had this overwhelming urge to do something that I can never discuss. I now know why anyone with a brain needs a cleansing shower with bleach after being exposed to this miscreant.

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. True story, many, many years ago

I was a student at the local state college.

One day I was having some coffee with my thesis advisor... and lo and behold one of the cleaning crew passed by, with early Rush on

My instructor shook his head... and said... prophetically

This guy will be another Father Coughlin and just as bad or worst for the country.

He was RIGHT ON THE MONEY

[Captain Hilts]

2. My grad university - the U of Toronto - gave the world Father Coughlin. nt

[PassingFair]

3. I drive by the "shrine" his money built almost every day.

:puke:

[TahitiNut]

7. Yep. Me too.

:puke:

Beautiful church - UGLY history.

[PassingFair]

8. Sad, really.

From what I've read, he began his career as a real "man of the people", and
became crazier than a loon.

Kinda like William Jennings Bryan...

[Kurovski]

13. Dang, but that's phallic.

Or is it just me?

:hi:, PassingFair

[Beerboy]

4. It's kind of maddening that radio-hosts

can eviscerate from their listener-ship these reactions. I heard Rush many years ago and just thought he was an arrogant blow-hard rich fuck prick bastard, and tuned back to classic rock-n-roll.
I'll say for myself that no radio host holds by the power of their words to try to get me into the shower.:scared:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

10. Then I encourage you to try

a semi-humble but incredibly pissed off liberal poor fuck.

The problem with right-wing hateradio is that it constantly delivers marching orders to the morons of the right.

Liberal talk tends more to ask folks to reach their own conclusions and to dialogue. At least that's how we do it on The H.O.R.N. We take the tack that working Americans are the real experts, and treat them with the respect they deserve.

5. Haven't tuned in since the idiot went stone deaf. It was said

at the time that Rush was finished. Somehow medical science installed a hearing aid in his head with the help of an operation. And that indeed pissed me off......

[GrpCaptMandrake]

6. It's worth noting now that

the FDA is currently considering stronger warning labels for Viagra. It apparently can lead to spontaneous deafness.

No kidding.

[0007]

16. Rush has a perpetual hard on for the poor and the truth so it

would be believable that Viagra was the cause of Limbaugh's hearing problems.

9. Way back in the day we used to think he was a comedian

I used to work in a computer support department where everyone was liberal. During lunch we would turn on the Rush Limbaugh show and laugh our asses off at his comments. We thought he was some sort of liberal comedian playing at being a conservative and over selling it (sort of a proto Colbert). We could not believe that anyone could say the things he did and mean it. It had to be a put on.

Sigh... we were so young and innocent then. Now the man's words makes my ears bleed.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

11. Don't do it very often

it'll cost you IQ points. There's a reason the SAME 3 million people tune in every day.

Zombies.

[lpbk2713]

12. Next time you listen to his show ... and anyone else for that matter ...

pay attention to who his advertisers are. And then avoid them for the rest of your life. Feel free to write them a nasty email if you wish. As for me I wouldn't go as far as wasting a postage stamp on telling them what a sleazy despicable lying sack of shit they sponsor. Every once in a while there are threads here on DU showing who his sponsors are.

[Canuckistanian]

14. I listen to him when I can

I just like to hear what the official Repub talking points are for the day.

Listening to Rush is like listening to the news from the perspective of aliens from another planet.

He consistently gets his facts wrong, then proceeds to draw the most incredible conclusions from those "facts". But he does it in such a way as to make it sound credible.

Most of the time it doesn't bother me. But when he talks about science, it makes me cringe. He's really such an uneducated, ignorant boob.

I think that's the main problem with America these days that an idiot like Rush CAN be so popular.

[opihimoimoi]

15. Simple reason...his audience is dumber than he...dittoheads they are called.

[live love laugh]
