For the Limbaugh bashers.

[KONQ RADIO]

I 'pose this should be in the News section but I know the direction this can/will take.

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh boosted Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's pro-life position and mocked Barack Obama on his radio show yesterday with a make-believe riff in which Obama asked Palin"When you found out your baby would be born with Down syndrome, did you consider killing it before or after the due date?"Limbaugh's "humor" caught the fancy of the Republican National Committee, which, in an internal e-mail, proposed using the bit in a YouTube clip. The e-mail, which was sent to RNC Communications Director Danny Diaz, and mistakenly to a Tribune reporter, was titled "wow...good YouTube potential..."

Bad Radio from the Limbaugh camp.
The link pulls it into perspective.

To my mind Russ Limbaugh is a self-promoting right-wing moron who trawls the gutter for his inspiration and appeals to the lowest common denominator in terms of human decency and integrity.
I cannot understand why so many Americans find him remotely acceptable or credible

I gotta agree with you on that one, Binks!

yeah...I just can't for the life of me understand why he has the meager listening audience of 40,000,000 plus listeners and just signed a contract for $400,000,000. I guess there are a lot of people out there somewhere that enjoys the "gutter trawling".

Alan Colmes and Al Franken on the other hand...inspire 100's of people nationwide with their spewing of liberal ideology. I wonder why there is such a gap?

Could it be the American Idol fans ?

I would venture to say that most "hard core" AI fans probably aren't into Limbaugh....lol. I'm not sure what his demographic is for listeners but I will try to find it. LIke him or hate him he's the absolute best at what he does. He makes the most money and has the most listeners. Again...there isn't a person on EARTH that can reach out and touch as many listeners as he can. You can't argue with that.

Perhaps AL Franken will give him a run but unti that happens....

Wrong on all counts....Howard Stern makes more money and has or had more listeners/viewers.

If that's all that matters to you, then I feel sad for you Army1.
You seem to place no value whatsoever on the content of what he says, he is, as I have said before, a self-promoting right-winger who lacks integrity and common decency.

Weirdo Micheal Jackson's Thriller album has sales estimated to be between 47 and 108 million worldwide. That doesn't change the fact that the guy is a certified nut case and sick fuc*ing pedophile.

Just because someone has a "big following" or "a large contract", doesn't mean they are by any means representative of the mainstream. Nice try though......
