So I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today.

[VCDefectors]

Wow. That was fun. :confused:

So this the origin of Sarah Palin's worldview. Scary.

This also seems to be the place where the concept of Obama being a terrorist, socialist, and an Anti- figure who intends on destroying America came from.

To those of you who follow ol' Fathead, please: STOP, THINK, GET A LIBRARY CARD, LEARN. It won't kill you to do a little of your own research on the issues and form your own conclusions.

And no wonder Rush' callers are called Dittoheads. For them, Rush said it, they believe it, and that settles it. Many of them are openly superstitious against intellectualism and depend on Rush to pigeon-hole everything for them into 2 piles: Rush Ideology and Liberal Agenda. It's amazing.

What a strange cult this Dittohead Nation is!

[Danny White]

Wow. That was fun. :confused:

What in the world are you talking about?

Where did you get that Palin's worldview originates with Rush? News to me.

You are out of your freakin' mind.

Oh wait, not a news flash!

[ScipioCowboy]

What in the world are you talking about?

Where did you get that Palin's worldview originates with Rush? News to me.

He probably gets it from the source on whom he relies to pigeonhole information into two broad, crassly stereotypical categories: leftist-approved intellectual thought, and unenlightened thought (which is most commonly associated with red state America).:D

[Hostile]

Wow. That was fun. :confused:

What a strange cult this Dittohead Nation is!I'm not a fan of Howard Stern by any wild stretch, but he said something one time I find so true.

He said his loyal fans listen to his show 2 hours per day. His most ardent detractors listen to his show 4 hours per day.

I am more Conservative than you and haven't listened to Limbaugh in 10 years and wouldn't for any reason.

You legitimize the very man you obviously abhor. How does that make any sense?

Well I have no idea what your talking about Palin on, but as far as the Obama being a friend of terrorists and maybe a terrorist at heart himself, well that comes from eyes wide open. I listen to Mark Levin and Sean hannity quite regularly. Never listen to Rush.

Obama is shady, hes got questionable ties to questionable pple. I drew my own conclusions and came up with the fact that I dont trust Obama.

As for the strange cult, this Obama cult is one I dont understand. Nobody knows who he is, yet many are willing to hand over the buttons to OUR nukes to him. I damn sure know McCain is 100% American. I know hes bleed for my country. Obamas gunna invite terrorist to the whitehouse and negotiate. We dont negotiate with terrorists, or had you forgotten that?

[Maikeru-sama]

Listening to Rush the Racists is a complete waste of time.

It is no different than listening to Louis Farrakan, in fact, it may be worse.

[masomenos]

...Obama being... maybe a terrorist at heart himself...

:rolleyes:

::sigh::

[Cajuncowboy]

Listening to Rush the Racists is a complete waste of time.

It is no different than listening to Louis Farrakan, in fact, it may be worse.

Geez Mick We get it. You think Rush is a racist. God, you are a one note band.

Plus you look ridiculous doing it.

Doing the whole race thing again.

[Maikeru-sama]

Geez Mick We get it. You think Rush is a racist. God, you are a one note band.

Plus you look ridiculous doing it.

Doing the whole race thing again.

Geez we get it, your Rush's number 1 fan :bang2: .

And ridiculous is assuming Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama because he was black, like you did Sunday.

I will rip Rush every chance I get, just like I do all the other racists like Al, Jesse and Louis.

[Cajuncowboy]

One note samba keeps right on playing the race issue.

I think you are really more touchy about it than you let on. You keep mentioning race every chance you get.

Well whatever.

And I stand by what i said. I think it was about his skin color. Though Powell's credentials as a conservative have never been an issue because he never was one. So it may be more about ideology as far as his left wing political leanings. Nevertheless Powell himself said a few months ago that having an African-American president would be "Electrifying". His words not mine. So for him in that sense, it was about his skin color.

But you keep playing the race thing and we'll keep tapping our feet to the same beat.

And by the way, he's not a racist. That's a lie.

Oh and for being his #1 fan.... I haven't listened to rush in over a month and then it was only for a few minutes. I listen to sirus NFL more than anything. So stick that where the sun does not shine.

[Hostile]

Please put each other on Ignore. We simply do not need this.

See the sticky thread for what I suggest about this advice.

[Heisenberg]

Limbaugh is good at what he does. I respect just how good he is and how successful he has become doing his job. His worldview is different from mine and that's fine. He's not pretending to be unbiased. You know what you get.

It's the same thing with people picking on Olbermann. When I watch Olbermann, I know what I'm getting is a skewed news commentary.

[VCDefectors]

I'm not a fan of Howard Stern by any wild stretch, but he said something one time I find so true.

I happened to catch his show while flipping radio channels on a very long trip this morning. Probably the fourth time I've listened to him in my entire life.

I was amazed by the labels Rush used over and over on discussing Obama and Biden. Words and phrases like socialist, radical, Muslim, wants to raise taxes on everybody who makes over $42,000, 'The Messiah'. I see very little to no difference between the stuff I heard on Rush' show and the stuff I see posted on message boards where conservatives congregate, such as this one.

As far as Palin goes, I do believe she lifts her Cliff Notes version of conservatism from conservative talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh. And Rush noted today how Palin was a recent guest and mentioned that Palin is a longtime listener and supporter of the show (a Dittohead).

As far as legitimizing Rush goes, I don't know about that. I think by and large his own audience does that.

[VCDefectors]

What in the world are you talking about?

Where did you get that Palin's worldview originates with Rush? News to me.

As I noted in my reply to Hostile, according to Rush, Palin is a longtime listener and supporter of the show. And after observing Palin's obvious lack of depth of knowledge on some key issues, and the uncanny resemblance between Rush' diatribe and some of Palin's speeches, one has to conclude that Palin's politics have been shaped and heavily influenced by conservative talk shows.

[ZB9]

It's the same thing with people picking on Olbermann. When I watch Olbermann, I know what I'm getting is a skewed news commentary.

Rush is funny as crap though....although Keith can be unintentionally funny when he mangles French words.

I dont think Limbagh takes himself as seriously as pompous *** Olbermann seems to.

[Heisenberg]

Trust me, he's funny. :)

And they're both pompous *****.

[ZB9]

And they're both pompous *****.

ha good point. That's true. touche

[Heisenberg]

I think the reason one side finds their guy funny and the other side doesn't is because humor has to have some truth to it or at least what you perceive to be the truth.

If you think everything coming out of their mouths is false, well, their humor won't work on you. If you believe what they're saying, their attempts at humor are much more successful.

Im not on a "side". Most of my closest friends have been liberals, and i tend to surround myself with liberals for some reason. I live in Austin for chrissake. :)

I enjoy hearing all views from all sides. Im around lefties much of the time and I listen to a crapload of lefties that I find hilarious. Olbermann is not one of them though. He comes across as way too mean spirited for me. He's not entertaining at all to me.

[Hostile]

I find them both to be utter bores.

How exactly do you come to this conclusion, other than Hannity telling you what to think???

If people question Obama's judgement for serving on an Education Board with Ayers, that is understandable. However, to think Obama is actually a terrorist at heart is beyond logical.

What evidence or you basing this on, I am curious? Obama was 8 yrs old when this guy blew stuff up. Obama never went to any Weatherman ralleys, he never had secret meetings with terrorist, so how do you come to the conclusion that Obama is a terrorist?

If you dont want to vote for the guy, fine. But dont make accusations that somebody is a terrorist when you dont have one single shred of evidence, just Hannity telling you what to think..............pretty sad.:(

[CowboyFan74]

the concept of Obama being a socialist, and an Anti- figure who intends on destroying America.


What a strange cult this Dittohead Nation is!


Socialist- Take from the successful and give to the unsuccessful. Check!!

Anti- - (One of many) Big time abortion advocate amongst killing off the old. Check!!

These are simple facts, we don't need Rush to point out the obvious...

[Maikeru-sama]

I don't put folks on ignore.

I have the right to voice my opinion about Rush Limbaugh. Besides, the guy purposelsy butchers my username, tells me to stick it where the sun don't shine, etc etc, so he should put me on ignore as he obviously can't handle me talking about Rush Limbaugh.

It's actually quite comical seeing him get so upset and going to bat for a guy like Rush Limbaguh :laugh1: .

What I find halarius is Republicans calling Obama a socialist when under the Bush administration you have one of the largest entitlement programs of all time started (prescription drugs for medicare), the largest expansion of Government in US history, and for the first time ever the Government is buying stock in private corporations under the 750 billion bailout plan.

Also McCain has come up with the idea that the Federal Government should buy all default mortgages and then refinance at the now lowered value.

Lets recap.

Federal Government starts new entitlement program under Bush...CHECK
Federal Government has largest expansion under Bush......CHECK
Federal Government buying stock in private businesses.....CHECK
Federal Government possibly buying private mortgages......CHECK

AND YOU GUYS CALL OBAMA THE SOCIALIST???

Also, the Federal Income Tax System is not a socialist system, it is a tiered system based on progressive tax brackets. The more you make, the more you pay. The top 5% on income earners pay over 80% of annual tax revenue.

It has been that way since freaking 1910.

take out rush and put in obama and so forth, you get the same thing. obama said it, it must be true. and many people do put things into 2 areas, their belief and what they're scared of.

people "ditto" what they agree in, it's the nature of our mindset.

when you come out insulting someone you can't be taken seriously or like you yourself don't have an agenda to push.

So I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today

That was an grievous mistake in the first place.

[Thanos68]

You are out of your freakin' mind.

Oh wait, not a news flash!

Hey, go read your other post where you say you only attack posters after being attacked first. Then come back here and re-read this. You might learn something.

That was an grievous mistake in the first place.

wow. is this twice this month we've agreed?

[VCDefectors]

Oh well, poop happens. I rather enjoyed the experience. Rush does have a gift for reaching out to shortcut thinkers.

What can I say? It's election season and it's inevitable that people are going to get bent out of shape on both sides. The main thing is to not take anything personal and wear your political beliefs on your sleeve.

I listened to Rush today while I was driving and what you are saying isn't completely honest. He never called Obama a muslim and when he talked about radical he was talking about his associations with radicals. Yes he did say that Obama was pushing a socialist agenda with his "spread the wealth", but most all Obama's critics are saying the same thing.

I think you are really upset because most of the show was about Biden putting his foot in his mouth about the "global crisis that WILL occur" to test Obama when elected just like Kennedy took office. And the other subject on a lessor note was the "Joe the Plumber" investigation that Biden said they were doing and how they hadn't found anything substantial YET. Rush was angered that a middle class person that wasn't running for office was being investigated cuz "the Messiah" gave a controversial answer and they are trying to distract everyone from "the Messiah" answer.

Nothing on the show is anything we haven't already discussed here and other talk show hosts have discussed.

And yes I am a "Dittohead" and have been for over 10 years. I listen to him and other talk radio and then make up my own mind about things from my experience..

Oh.. and this will really get your goat.... I'm an Ann Coulter fan too and love her books. I'm reading "If Democrats Had Any Brains, Theyd Be Republicans". I find them very "entertaining" and they add an opposing view of what you get on the other mainstream media networks. Which is what everyone really hates about them

[Danny White]

I've probably listened to less than an hour of Rush over the last 10+ years, but I did meet him once at a dinner banquet.

He was actually a very quiet and unassuming guy in person. When he came into the room, he was very low key and not some big "look at me" kinda guy. And when he spoke to the audience, he was very soft spoken and almost shy... nothing like his public personality.

I have a feeling a lot of his on-air persona is an act, or at least an exaggeration.
