Damn right he's arrogant. I cant think of a reason he shouldn't be. He's been in the crosshairs of the left since his shows inception, and the only thing its done is make him a near billionaire. Are you going to fault him for wanting money. Does he make too much money? Old saying holds true:
THOSE WHO CAN, DO. THOSE WHO CANNOT, CRITISIZE.

And what's the other old saying? Oh yeah,

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

It is my experience that arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand. He may be a billionaire as you say but it was only by being a bottom feeder and playing to the lowest, most self absorbed and intolerant aspects of the American character.

Can you explain to use how Rush is different from John Stewart, Colbert or Bill Mahr? What does he say that lowers him to "bottom feeder" status?

they don't assume to speak for for liberals and no one on the left thinks they do

In my opinion the only way liberals know how to fight back is by petty name calling.

I would love to see a debate about Rush without the above quote above being thrown out there but I guess when that's all you have then you have to use it

Rush is a hatemonger and inciter of fear and racism. Jon Stewart regularly mocks the democrats just as often as he mocks the republicans. The sad thing is that hate and fear are the closest emotion for most americans, and they readily respond to this. Many are addicted to it, and seeing his validates theirs. Jon Stewart has never, since ive been watching, pushed any leftist agenda. He has never stated any personal opinion on the wars, nor has he ever made any statements in support of or criticism against socialism. I have also seen him criticize such left revered characters as ahmadinejad and chavez. Truthfully I'd put him no further than slightly left of center.

Limbaugh, on the other hand, is widely recognized as a far right shill, and regularly espouses far right and neocon doctrine, while demonizing all others but americans, and roundly attacking anything that smells in the least bit to be for the benefit of the poor masses, or of socialism.

The problem is that most of the US is so far right, that what they think of as center is actually a bit right of center, so they paint someone like stewart or colbert as being far left, when not once have they touted the merits of socialism, pushed for free healthcare or education, lambasted our war that we were drawn to through lies and deciept, or supported such true far leftist causes such as the 9/11 truth movement, etc.
