I didn't accuse you of anything. I said
I think there are several reasons and then I listed some of them. This is what I think. I
didn't, by any means, indicate that those 3 were the ONLY reasons people could have for listening to him. And I had no idea that you listened to him.
So I certainly wasn't accusing you of anything.
You took personal offense at something that I didn't even say to you.
Is there something "you" would like to share about those feelings towards us that listen to him?
No. Many different types of people listen to him and I couldn't possibly feel the same about them all, as I don't know most of them.

Why is there any need to continue debate with people that see life like this?
My post says nothing about how I see life.

I was talking about I see Rush's "devout followers". Why, if you only listen occasionally, are you
so offended by my thoughts on some of them?
I think you took my post much more personally than it was intended.
And, after being so upset because of my categorizations, you turned around and did the very same thing.

I'm going to respond to you instead of
taking offense. Try it.
The left hates him because of ...
1. His success (Most of all)
2. His views (Only slightly second)
3. The First Amendment.. (They really hate that)
I can't speak for "the left", but I can say why
I don't like Rush (I don't care enough to hate him). He is the epitome of an arrogant
slob. He's insecure and so overcompensates with his loud-mouthed, know-it-all attitude. He's a big baby. He cries about everything people say about
him and always feels it necessary to "attack back". If anything, I feel pretty sorry for him.
To address your points from my perspective:
1. I don't care about his success. Angelina Jolie and Eric Clapton are successful and I like them just fine.
2. His views are his. I don't agree with them, but I don't dislike people because of their views.
3. I'm a staunch First Amendment supporter and have defended Rush's right to say everything he says.
So, see? I don't fit into your categories either.
So, it is useless to try and talk common sense when they think the way that they do..
You might be surprised if you gave it a chance. Why don't you let us know why you DO listen to him and like him instead of repeating the part of my
post that you took personally?
