http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rush_Limbaugh_Show The program airs live and primarily consists of Limbaugh's own monologues, based on the news of the day, interspersed with parody ads, phone calls from listeners and a variety of running comedy bits (some live, some taped).
Democrats have been taking political beliefs and policy prescriptions from late night comedians for decades. Hell, they elected an actual clown to the senate in Minnesota.
Well, that's Minnesota. They have a problem up there, they'll vote for absolutely anyone. Jesse Ventura, Michelle Bachmann.... My guess is that their All-You-Can-Drink polling places aren't a good idea after all. barfo
And no, I am not at all a fan of Limbaugh. I am not here to defend him, just to point out the hypocrisy where he gets (rightly so) slammed for saying something way over the top and others do not.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/22/time-magazine-poll-jon-st_n_242933.html Online Poll: Jon Stewart Is America's Most Trusted Newsman Well, in a result that he will probably accept as downright apocalyptic for America, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart has been selected, in an online poll conducted by Time Magazine, as America's Most Trusted Newscaster, post-Cronkite. Matched up against Brian Williams, Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson, Stewart prevailed with 44 percent of the vote
Mostly a comment on the sad state of news in America. Jon Stewart isn't considered a major voice in the Democratic party or anything, so I don't see how that's comparable to Limbaugh. In any case, of the two options I provided, I'm pretty sure (1) is the correct one.
maybe he does? i really wouldnt know as ive never caught his show, but maybe all of his takes are satire? scary if true, as ALOT of people think rush limbag is the "news"
I'm pretty sure you're wrong about both. Stewart's TV show is a daily commercial for the Democratic Party. Not saying Limbaugh's show isn't a commercial for the republican party.
I'm comfortable with your thinking that Rush is both a comedian and not a comedian (the logical result of thinking both of my options are wrong).
You're wrong that: 1) That Stewart isn't considered a major voice in the party 2) That Limbaugh isn't a comedian.
You have a point there. But the shape of your head doesn't discourage me (pointy headed liberal). And I'm not a republican.
Wrong again. I share the lower taxes, smaller government, economic views of republicans, but social views to the left of even you. I wouldn't trust in any republican to actually live up to those ideals mentioned. I just happen to find Democrats to be far more authoritarian and statist.
