It's very obvious that most liberals have no idea what Rush believes?

Since the majority of you in this forum actually think Rush is a racist bigot. I've listened on and off to Rush's daily show (where he reaches over 20 million listeners daily with huge ratings and a consistent accuracy rate of 98%) for nearly 18 years. I have NEVER heard him spew racist beliefs. In fact, he frequently even has conservative black guest hosts on his show when he's off doing some charity golfing event with other celebs.

Some mature, adult debate here...without childish name calling and personal attacks, can any of you give an example where Rush as said anything racist?

Update:

olie north crack smoker: it's 20mil daily; and you didn't answer my question.

    And notice, the first Liberal who answered you did not answer you. None of them will. I guarantee it.

    And even though I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, I can tell you why they say that about him. It's because what else can they say? They know nothing about him or his beliefs. He's old. He's white. Why, he must be a bigoted racist! Not only that, but the Obama camp has already stated that Rush is the enemy so it really doesn't matter what he says or believes. They will attack him with the single-minded fury of the entire henhouse pecking the lone wounded hen to death. Why? Because that is what they do. They are like trained dogs. He whistles, they attack.

    Period.

    The other truth is that people are just too goddamn sensitive in this country. Political correction is waaaay out of control.

    I am a Liberal and I know that Rush Limbaugh was once a well respected self-made student of William F. Buckley and caught Bukley's erudite eye.

    Fundamentally, Limbaugh had good pedigree among Conservative Scholars.

    There is a difference Conservatism and the Republican Party however. Rush is a reactionary force for the Republican grass roots.

    A scholar would review the record of the candidate and not the person through soundbytes. Rush is not a scholar any more and Mr. Buckley would be disappointed.

    Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly: Fueling America with Lies

    recent report by a media watchdog group, Media Matters, documents and dispels myths and misinformation about illegal immigration and undocumented immigrants that are promoted by cable news channels on a daily basis. According to the report, CNN’s Lou Dobbs, CNN Headline News’ Glenn Beck, and Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly are the loudest voices leading the effort to fuel viewers with an anti-immigrant sentiment. The report focuses on two myths: 1) undocumented immigrants and crime and the cost to social services, 2) the urban legend that there is a secret plan to construct a "NAFTA Superhighway" running from Canada to Mexico. Paul Waldman, Media Matters’ Senior Fellow, reveals the truth behind these myths and indicates how Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly are all guilty of irresponsible journalism.

    Limbaugh has been called on his racism many times. And yes, he does have 20 million people listening a day -- for an average of 14 minutes. He's really only got about 3 million listening for the full 3 hours. Who can stand that racist drug-addicted hypocrite for 3 hours straight?

    1. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

    2. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

    3. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.

    4. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

    5. The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.

    6. Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).

    7. think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve

    8. Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna *** laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic *****’

    my husband and I love rush. And I am sure we do not fit the normal listeners persona. We lived 7 years in public housing. We were a teen pregnancy.( we raised and are raising our child on our own) We have lived beside the people who will not get up and do anything about their situation as we struggled and struggled to stand on our own two feet. We finally got out of public housing and off the system ON OUR OWN. And NO I do not feel sorry for these lazy people stealing my hard earned tax dollars. White and black people alike. It is insanity that we should support those that do not want to support their-selves. I have never heard a racist remark from rush. Just honesty of how the world really works. For those that have never really lived in it. I know this was a little off the subject but I am really growing tied of this crap. What ever happened to Being an American? I mean it You have all become a bunch of spoiled cry babies.. GROW UP!! And quit yelling racism every time you disagree with someone. Be articulate and fight back with a real debate of the issues at hand. whether that hand is white, black. yellow or silver. My God!

    Well, I'm 19 years old. I had a sociology teacher last year and she stated that studies have found 18-25 year olds most worried about life-- that many of them think they'll die young. I had relatives in Russia and they were murdered by the Stalinist regime. Limbaugh may or may not understand these things when he's preforming on stage.

    Your right. This whole Obama thing was masterminded by the elite to promote Obama as God=like. This is exactly how they make Hollywood stars. All of Hollywood, the writers and media are unionized. Obama wants a one party system and he is exhibiting fascist tendencies (Gov't run unionized businesses, Big brother)

    This may shock you but many people have seen and heard just enough of Rush to know he is an absolute liar and therefore they stop listening to him.

  • Please get your facts straight. According to arbitron, the offical ratings service of radio, rush has TWO million daily listeners. It just so happens that there are 200 million adults so 1% of adults listen to rush. And it just so happens that there are 2 million right wing psychos. Coincidence?
