Rush not only comments on the news, he is a big part of it whenever he does.
He's so important and so influential that liberal politicians lament about him by name in their speeches, and try to resurrect the antiquated "fairness doctrine" to somehow silence this potent voice of conservatism.
Rush's enemies, who hate him for saying what they don't want to hear, only can use the, oft-spoken of here, leftist tactics of diversion and ridicule. It's pretty pathetic and much in evidence on this thread.

Be careful, Richie. Your defense of Limbaugh reflects on your character and intelligence. I for one won't demean you based only on your ideologically-driven defense of a truly disgusting human being. But if you keep it up, people may begin to think you believe the same ugly vitriol that Limbaugh spouts too frequently.
Regarding his influence--if those that listen to him regularly really believe the stuff he spouts, this country is in worse shape than any of us can imagine.
After I watched the news report includinIg clips of Limbaugh's statements, on NBC Nightly News, an ad came on for an insurance company. We've all seen it I'm sure. It ends with three guys watching a construction worker letting a jackhammer get out of control. One of the observers grimaces and says, "That's one dumb dude."
I thought the juxtaposition of the news report and the ad was particularly apropos. But you don't want people thinking that of you, Richie. I know I don't...unless you continue to defend someone as disgusting as Rush Limbaugh.
