"President Obama and the Democrats should wave the white flag in their strawman war on Rush Limbaugh. The Media Research Center delivered the grim casualty figures for the Democrats. Since January, the top talk show gabber's ratings have soared off the charts. Radio affiliates that carry Limbaugh's syndicated show call the ratings boost he's gotten from the Democrat's orchestrated attack on him a "dramatic surge." This writer predicted as much when President Obama cracked to Congressional Republicans in late January that they should knock off listening to Limbaugh if they expected to get anything done in Congress and with his administration."

1. He will win the battle of the air waves.

He will lose the war of public opinion. He is just too hate-full to ever win over the majority of the people. His people are circling the wagons.

2. car crashes attract attention.

3. Wonder how many of that increased viewership consists of Dems

who can resist listening to him to hear him become unhinged. Personally, I don't put much stock in viewership stats since I think they are not really accurate. However, I do believe there should be one pool of designated listeners reporting from our side and no one else tuning in.

4. When you have the money to put that filth on that many stations

You will have the numbers that he has. Even if there are only a few listeners in any given market.

And don't forget that our tax dollars pay to have his filth broadcast on Armed Services Radio.

5. Bullshit. The Right Wing Media Research Center

who has declined to provide hard evidence that Rush's show has experienced a surge of listeners.
