Yeah he might have more listeners if he didn't just YELL at people, lol.
Beck is alright too, but he comes across as a jerk sometimes as well.
I honestly don't like many of the talking heads, which is probably why I get most of my news via text sources.

Yea, poor Beck, when he cried the other day, it made me cry, I don't know what to say about his crying, it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Let's be clear semper, people have hated Rush since GWB's daddy was in office
I don't profess to hate anyone, I just despise the poison espoused by Limbaugh. He may be an intelligent man for all I know, but he doesn't really come off as one....and any news that he may have, I can get from another source that won't make me want to punch something.

It isn't just about Rush's views. That is not the problem. The problem is that he spews hatred and is just vile.
AFter the stint on Michael J. Fox, I have no sympathy for the man. he should of been taken off the air.
Rush Limbaugh mocking Michael J. Fox.
Lets not forget some of his greatest insights:
Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”
The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down”
The difference between Los Angeles and yogurt is that yogurt comes with less fruit.”
“Women were doing quite well in this country before feminism came along”
“The NAACP should have riot rehearsals”
“When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it's an invitation”
“Take that bone out of your nose and call me back”
“They vote with their vaginas”
“If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people - I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs, let the kinds of jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do - let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work”
“[Democrats] don't have reasons for people to vote for them. They're just trying to gin up anger and resentment for their opposition. And it's just not working anymore.”
Is this really just an opposing view? or supported bigotry and hatred?

Well, someone's a little bitter about society!!!
I agree though, there are plenty of freeloaders out there of all shapes sizes and colors, taking advantage of the American taxpaying law-abiding citizens every single day.
However, I think that it is unfair to stick any one set of persons with the responsibility of our national problems, as both the reps and the dems have both had a crack at running the show. Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps our country is what it is by design?? Let's get outside of the box here....liberals and conservatives, those days are gone....we're left with various shades of grey at this point.

The man is a bigot and a moron, I completely agree with you.
Anybody who buys into all of that guys crap can take a long walk as far as i'm concerned. 50 years ago that's the kind of guy you would see dressed from head to toe in white and burning crosses.
