Limbaugh deserves payback for the harm he has done. .

Ah, the Democratic party line. You guys don't have one single stance
or
issue that sells...so, instead, you sell sleaze.

Oh, puh-lease. All Limbaugh sells is sleaze, and the lowest common
denominators - like you - lap it up.

Limbaugh does sell sleaze. But he's an entertainer...not an elected
official in a position to actually *do* something.


What Limbaugh does is stir up hatred and resentment. That is his stock
in trade.

Did you ever stop to think that your side has hate-monger-guys just like
Rush...guys like Al Franken, Bill Maher, Paul Begala, and 90% of
Hollywood...but nobody listens to 'em? The reason you guys hate Rush so
much is because he's successful with his message...and your guys aren't.
It's not that Rush is smarter, wittier, or more charismatic than your
spinmeisters...it's just that more people agree with his conservative
political slant.

His message of hatred? Yes, he's very good at it. He certainly plays to
the fears of you angry white men.

He's a gasbag. But he knows his audience of pinheads.

So the reason the leftist gasbags aren't as popular is because they don't
"know their audience"?

The left isn't filled with angry young men who need a gasbag like Rush
to put their thoughts into words for them.

You meant angry young *white* men, right? There are plenty of angry young
black men, angry young lesbians, and angry young gay men on the left. I
guess there's just not enough of them to propel a left-leaning satirist into
a position where anybody even notices...or cares.

Most of those on the left have many ways to express themselves, and
probably consider anger one of the last resorts, as opposed to angry
white men like you, who need someone to spoonfeed them their thoughts.

See, this is a mistake--a tactical error, if you will.

Making a statement like this one without being aware of the facts leaves you
open to being shot down by a single counterexample.

"Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Left"
by Al Franken (E.P. Dutton; (August 29, 2003) ISBN: 0525947647) is #2 on the New
York Times Bestseller list for nonfiction. It was number 1 last week, and has
been on the list for 6 weeks.

While you may not like or appreciate Franken's brand of left-leaning humor and
satire, hitting the number two spot on the NYT Bestseller list is no mean
feat--and it's the kind of counterexample I referred to.

Also (since I seem to be on a roll here), the number 4 spot is held by that
darling of Conservative America (NOT), Molly Ivins, with her "Bushwacked." This
is her first week on the list, so it will be interesting to see where her book
goes.

(Joke follows. Install sense of humor now

Could it be that there are a lot of liberal books on the NYT best seller lists
because the typical conservative already blew his or her entire book budget for
the year buying "Treason" by A. Coulter, and it will take them from now until
the 2004 elections to sound out the bigger words?

(Joke ends.)

They're both just a flash in the pan. People are interested in them right
now in the same way you gawk at a really bad car accident.

BTW--who is #1 on the list? grin

I'm bored so I'll comment.
I dissagree.
I think the *public* is split about 50/50 - thus the balance of power swings
back and forth. We're talking about radio here. I think Rush is smarter,
wittier, and more charismatic than anything the left has tried to throw up
on talk radio. I've said for a long time that the left needs a talent like
Rush to get an opposing radio show off the ground. Good talk radio talent is
HARD to find. Look at the rise of Howard Stern through the 90's. Love him,
or hate him, he's still a one off radio talent. So's Rush.

-W (heard Stern ONCE back when he was in DC and said to my wife "this guy
is going to be HUGE in radio")



I dissagree
