On Mon, 1 Jan 1996, Big Daddy wrote something adoringly about the Fat
Man, and I don't mean Sidney Greenstreet, who got caught in the "Maltese
Falcon":

When has Rush admitted any factual errors he's made? According to him, he
doesn't make any. He spouted this during a preview for an upcoming
documentary. He always tells you the truth. That would make any sane
thinking person pause.

I suggest you Dittoheads and Flush Rush Haters (of which I am proudly am
one) tune into your local PBS channel and check out the Frontline
documentary series' examination of "Rush Limbaugh's America." You'll
probably find your answers right there.

It's showing this week in the L.A. area.

Rush is nothing but lies, hot air and bombast on two legs. His time is
coming, like Morton Downey, Jr. and Jimmy Swaggart.

No I am not. Lets look at medicare. Both parties want to reduce
"growth" aka spending but niether side will come to the table and
really discuss it and try to meet somewhere in the middle. Instead
we have them calling each other names and engaging in useless
rhetoric.

The only thing that I want to see everyone as is equal. ( in terms of
opportunity)

Both sides HAVE been talking about the budget and Medicare, for weels.
Eventually they will have to find a middle ground. The compromise will
have to be centrist. In the foreground we have name calling and rhetoric,
but behind the scenes we clearly see Clinton, Dole, and Gingrich talking
and compromising. Therefore I believe that the country is already in the
center.

> The only thing that I want to see everyone as is equal. ( in terms of

This is a very vague statement. Almost everyone agree with this
statement, but people assign dramatically different meanings to it.
Liberals and socialists mean that everyone should be provided with a lot
of money and services to provide for all their needs. Conservatives and
libertarians mean that nobody should be denied anything that might
interfere with their "equality." Which are you?

Well then it's going to be a long time coming. He's been going

Interesting. I could say the same thing about gangsta rap--and it is also all

Rush is not FAT. Rather he is a compulsive eater, who like most such
people is eating to compensate for a failed sex life. Food, to RUSH is
like sex, and his consumption indicates that he is a very sexually repressed
individual with extreme sexual drives that cannot be satisfied through normal
man-woman relationships. Hence, he consumes food like a PLAYBOY consumes
woman.

While the Playboy receives pleasure/control from his actions, RUSH gets
additional weight which helps to reaffirm his low self-esteem as far as how
he views himself in relationship to other people, namely woman.

I feel I must correct what I see as a mistaken assumption by a lot of
people, that Rush's listeners are all "Bubbas." I did my very best to
determine the demographic breakdown of Rush's audience last night, using
the Web. Though I didn't really succeed (I didn't find a source with a
completely breakdown and numbers), I did find several articles which
discuss the breakdown. Rush's listeners DO tend to have college degrees.
They tend to have acceptable jobs, but not particularly good ones. They
tend to be male and white (those were the numbers I really wanted,
especially the gender breakdown, but I couldn't find them).

In other words, though Rush does appeal mostly to one particular segment
of the population, he does not appeal to the segment most often associated
with him. It looks like he appeals to lower-middle class suburbanites,
not lower class rednecks.

Though Rush is often factually incorrect, his audience is well enough
educated that they SHOULD be able to judge for themselves. In spite of
this, my day-to-day dealings with dittoheads indicates that they tend to
get excited by what they're hearing (since it is what they've always
wished were true), to the point that they suspend their disbelief for the
sake of feeling good about themselves. I think this shows quite clearly
how little a college degree has to do with critical thinking.

They compromised among themselves at every step of the process. Read a
history of the Constitution.

Compromise is the only way democracy can work. Clinton and Dole are
finally starting to act on this principle (especially Dole).

You must be new to this discussion. For multiple examples of Rush's false
statements, see the FAIR article (it's all over the Net). Make sure you
read Rush's rebuttal (also all over the Net), and note in particular that
Rush didn't respond to most of FAIR's points.

Fair question.

I mean that everyone should have a fair chance to reach the goals they
set for them selves ,if they have put in the hard work and dedication
needed to attain thouse goals and that they should not be denied these
because of gender, race or religion.

It also means that thouse who don't posses the skills and don't do
anything to earn them should not get perferential treatment.

I have found after reading the mindless and childish words about
Limbaugh on this conference that a college education has nothing to do
with critical thinking. It certainly had nothing to do with maturity.

Maybe, but the constitution is a compromise document. The 3/5 clause was a
compromise. Many of the founders wanted to compromise with England, but
England, being a monarchy, was not open to compromise.

If you read the Federalist Papers, you'll see that the notion of the extended
empire as a framework for a democratic republic is based on factions being
able to compromise.

Why do I get the feeling you are kinda a loser and prick yourself? After all,
you do post to this newsgroup with the rest of us wackos.

Please let us know how you are such an expert on the guy's weight porblem.
Perhaps you can show us all how to keep that spare tire off, even during the

OK

My best advice to copious individuals, such as yourself, is to stop eating.
However, the chances of the average "FAT PIG" to stop eating is extremely
small since the food is a substitute for something else.

I have heard that a "sperm diet" is the rage of the religious, far-right
when consumed from other family members or with strangers in dark alleys.

Perhaps you should give it a try. You have nothing to lose but good old
republican pork.

I have not seen this, but then I clearly do not listen to Rush as
often as you. Presumably due to my work.

I take it from your comment that you believe any "sane thinking"
person must lie. Do you consider yourself such a "sane thinking"
person? If so, will you let us know when you are telling a lie, so we
can disregard you? Or would you be telling a lie then too?

Need you get so personal? I cannot condone this demonizing of anyone
who disagrees. It reminds me too much of government propagandists
dehumanizing of enemies, making it easier for soldiers to kill them.

Several people (not edited by me in any way) all calling Rush L.
everything abusive they can think of.

He must have some strong arguments if they can not think of anything to
say against them.

As for Germany - yes they would not let people who believed that the
government had got too big (the view that Rush L. holds) in the media

How is Rush any different than any other self-promoting politican that is trying to make a buck and sfoward his own a agenda


Robert M Connelly

On Wednesday, 3 January, Greg Ferrar repeated one of the most fre
lies heard about Rush Limbaugh to wit that the FAIR publication
told the truth about Rush Limbaugh and that Rush's reply to FAIR
did not, in fact, make any reply - at least any of substance. It
must be pointed out that this is typical of liberals who have
little or no cognitive reasoning capabilities combined with an
inordinately low degree opf comprehensive reading abilities. It
truly is a shame when the facts are right under their noses, these
people cannot recognize them or, more likely, REFUSE to acknowledge
facts as such. It does make one wonder how, with this kind of BS
being spread so thcikly for so long, the US voter has been able to
stomach these people and their destructive political agendae and
vote for them.

I am not at all sure that many who creidt Limbaugh with being the
prime mover in the voter revolution of November 1994 are correct let
alone right: I would credit such asBill Buckley's National Review as being more
influential. But I don't think there can be any doubt that Limbaugh
was at least an influence in that revolution. That it will continue in
1996 also cannot be seriously doubted unless one has his head in a
place where the sun don't shine as most liberals posting on afl seem
to have.

I'm not sure which of my posts you're referring to, but the fact is, Rush
did NOT answer anywhere near all of FAIR's corrections. I never said that
Rush didn't answer FAIR's article. The facts of the matter, as I know
the, are this: 1) he responded to a minority of their points (thereby
letting most of their corrections stand uncontested); 2) his responses,
when present, were often absurd.

I've seen Rush's response to FAIR's corrections; it can be found almost
anywhere the FAIR text is found. You might try reading Rush's response
objectively. Ask youself as you read whether Rush's explanation is
reasonable. I think that in most cases you will find that Rush's excuse
for his inaccuracy simply doesn't hold water.

According to Clinton, compromise means, you give everything I want,

Be sure to also read the multiple instances in which FAIR's criticisms
have been severly shredded as little more then partisan claptrap.
Quotes taken out of context, or the assumption that if Rush's expert
disagrees with your expert, then Rush is lying.

Actually your typical conservative tends to be sexually repressed. the louder
they are, the more they lack quality sex.

George Will, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Buchannhan, Phil Gramm.

Would YOU be caught in bed with them? I tell ya, they've been
dissed many a day, that's why they are where they are. If they
had got some good lovin', they'd be better off, and a little more
mainstream.

Au contraire mon capitain! Your points have been read and appraised. Though
based in possible good intentions, your research has overlooked the most
obvious of sources! AM radio!(ie. Rush's show!!!) If you REALLY want to know
what the makeup of the audience is why not listen for yourself for a while?
If you don't have time to listen everyday, and most of us don't who work,
then perhaps you could tape it? If not that, then you can try the 'The
Unofficial Rush Home Page' or the 'Right Side of The Web' and ask for a copy
of daily summaries of his show.

What I find to be the case with most Rush bashers and critics, you are
obviously not listening to the show.

If you did listen to the show regularly, you would realize that what is
put out on the show is nothing more than an analysis of the daily events
and current issues. This is done by quoting newspaper articles,
speeches, magazine articles, etc. and then by making comments and giving
opinions as to what he makes of the event or issue in question.

The callers of the show are from all walks of life. Though they may not
be a complete cross section of his listeners,(as many people work and
have to listen to him without access to a phone or they may have to
listen after hours), but it is a pretty good representation.

Not everything that comes out on the show is meant to be 100% factual as
the show is intermixed with opinions and by definition opinions cannot be
counted as facts. Granted most of his opinions are right on target.

People who disagree with Rush are invited to call his show or email him.
The phone number and email address can be found by going to the pages
mentioned in my previous post. He invites debate. If you think you can
present a case without rambling and without ranting and raving, you can
expect to be received graciously. Just be honest with the call screener
about your disagreement and you will be put into the priority air time
line (remember there may be others in front of you that also disagree),
and you will get on before the "dittoheads".

Any questions?

Oh, and you do have a VERY valid comment in your posting. College
degrees are nothing but a piece of paper saying that you showed up to
class enough times and passed enough of the tests to graduate. It shows
nothing about critical thinking or how it was that you came to receive
the paper.

True.

Then why the claims of him always being correct? As far as his opinons
go, some are on target, others are not.

>People who disagree with Rush are invited to call his show or email him.

Yeah, but its the morons who get pushed to the front of the line and of
course, they are given every opportunity to sink themselves.

As far as Email goes, from what I understand, unless you subscribe to
Compuserve, he ignores the message and you never get a reply.

>The phone number and email address can be found by going to the pages

He invites debate???? Then why does he not invite people on his show to
debat him? Why has he stated he does not do debate?

>expect to be received graciously. Just be honest with the call screener

And the sillier and more off the wall and outspoken you are, the faster
you get to the front. Callers are a poor substitute for people on the
show to debate. With callers you are in control, you can shut them up
whenever you want and talk all you want. With live people on the show,
you can do the same, but they will not sit there quitely. Any wonder why
he does not have them on?

The main difference is that Rush openly admits that he is "trying to make a buck".
