USS Redskins Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think he is a bit of a tool, myself (I am a Howard Stern Fan) but man, this is some serious scratch. Republicans love the radio. His deal with bonuses, etc. is worth around $400 mill - more than the network news anchors combined. Wow! That is a shot to the jaw. http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrl.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 He also reaches a larger audience than most people care to admit while claiming the media is liberal. Compare how many people listen to him weekly to whatever liberal boogyman comes to mind, on any station be it cable or network... enjoy. Limbaugh deserves every penny he's getting. His show has been wildly popular for a long time. Good for him, the guy is great at what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 This fat drug addict? I guess being a whore for the Repubs paid off http://mediamatters.org/items/200611090005 But the way I feel is this: I feel liberated, and I'm just going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don't think deserve having their water carried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAARedskin Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Most people don't realize how truly rich Limbaugh is. His previous contract had him making over 1 million dollar per MONTH.........after taxes. And whether you like him or not.....one cannot deny that the man is a broadcasting legend.

zoony Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 He has perfected the art of the strawman. Good for him, say what you want about him, he's incredibly talented. Like Destino said above he does deserve the $$$... he draws an incredibly large audience. I wonder if he believes his own bull**** though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMetal Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just remember, all you conservatives rushing to praise this jackass, HE HATES YOUR BOY MCCAIN. HATES HIM. Edward R. Murrow was a broadcasting legend. Limbaugh is a pandering, hypocritical muckraker. They're not even in the same universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 His only talent is feeding on the ignorance of Americans. If it were easy we'd have lots of folks doing it. I can't imagine sitting in front of a microphone for 4 hours every day and just talking. I think the same thing about Howard Stern... how do they never run out of material? I doubt I could talk for 4 hours straight once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS Redskins Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I can honestly say that I have only listened to him for a total of about 5 minutes. I thought he was pretty boring. I would guess that he would secretly love an Obama presidency, his ratings would only go up. When Clinton was elected in 1992, he exploded.

@DCGoldPants Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Please love to hear that anything that's wrong, isn't their fault or their responsibility.

81artmonk Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Like him or not he is more successful than any left talk show in time. Obviously people listen to him otherwise he wouldn't be on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I love it. The underlying bitterness about this on the left doesn't come from Rush at all. It comes from the FACT that radio shows espousing THEIR ideas simply don't sell. :laugh: Capitalism prevails again. Stings don't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just remember, all you conservatives rushing to praise this jackass, HE HATES YOUR BOY MCCAIN. HATES HIM. Um... ALL real Conservatives HATE John McCain. If you find someone who LIKES McCain I can guarantee you that he isn't a Conservative. Now on the Limbaugh contract..... If someone's willing to pay him that much money to talk on the radio for 15 hours a week, so be it. That's the American way of life. My personal bent on him is that he's a lot of hot air and not a huge amount of actual ACTION. He'll end up bending over for McCain just like most of the other Republicans will in November.

Hooper Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Really good article on Limbaugh in the NY Times Magazine this week. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/magazine/06Limbaugh-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp Thought this quote was funny. At dinner the night before, Bill O’Reilly’s name came up, and Limbaugh expressed his opinion of the Fox cable king. He hadn’t been sure at the time that he wanted it on the record. But on second thought, “somebody’s got to say it,” he told me. “The man is Ted Baxter.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Limbaugh is good for a laugh. Kind of like the drunk Uncle at a wedding that won't shutup and everyone has to apologize for. Those that follow his every word are the same ones that think Obama has horns and a tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
