for six years with a republican controlled congress, and, a republican in the White House?

Who was he raging against? Oh, I forgot, the liberal media...

He did the same thing he did in the 90's, hammer Clinton every 30 seconds. He will never admit it but I'm sure he would love it if Hillary got elected president.

Politicians need enemies to feel relevant. The enemies of liberals are abstractions, like poverty, prejudice and greed. The enemies of -- pardon the looseness with the language -- "conservatives" are people, including interest groups and ethnic groups, sometimes entire countries. Sometimes their own country. The reason Limbaugh has something to say is that he's got enemies to rail against.
The reason he's allowed to stay on the air is money. If his stations thought it was more profitable to dump him, he'd have been dumped. Just like if peace was more profitable than war, if marijuana were more profitable than tobacco, if gun control were more profitable than gun production, and so on, most Republicans, who are basically out for themselves, would switch their positions on these issues. You'll notice that Limbaugh saves his greatest anger for tax-hikers. It always comes down to money with those people. Money first, and freedom second, if that. Simple as that.

It says a lot about what he talks about. How could someone be demonized as much as him and still command a radio audience? It's his message. It makes sense as opposed to the whining libs on Air Bag America. They lie and cheated investors just to propagate their message. Problem is no one wanted to listen to their noise. Finally, gone.

He stayed on air because about 30 million people listen to him. I bet the network news would like to have that kind of attention.

Backed through Jack Abramoff and Tom Delay, there is proof of this if you look it up. Abramoff and Delay embezzled the Indian funds to promote propaganda on the air waves. Rush Limbaugh is part of that propaganda. He is being paid

He stayed on the air because he is interesting, entertaining, and generally right.
On the other hand, Al Farrakhan, is about as interesting to listen to as 'white noise'. Not only that, but it seems to me that the vast majority of people will not want to listen to politics from Stewart Smally.

He was obviously a well liked man, otherwise his ratings wouldnt have been good enough to stay on the air...... hes an inspiring comedian, with humor at its finest!

Because of the size of his audience...liberals will listen to different points of view, conservatives will only listen to those that say what they want to hear...so that doubles his audience (ever notice that you can be an addict IF YOU SPOUT conservative rhetoric???
