Just asking, as I live and work in Europe, where he's seen either as a figure of fun, or as completely mad. Every American I've met has said that he's just a crazy old man, but in that case, why is he still on TV? I mean, that's just cruel!

Unfortunately, there are many in America that take Limbaugh seriously. Many believe every word he says. The rest of us are well aware of his lies. Limbaugh has been a very negative influence on America and hopefully, someday he will no longer be lying on the air waves.

You are asking the wrong Americans. If you are from Europe then you didn't know this but America is EXTREMELY bipartisan. Seriously we have two forms of media. Liberals absolutely hate Rush Limbaugh because he is right(most of the time) and more importantly his talk radio show is the most popular in the US. Oh, and he isn't on TV that lasted for only a little bit, but he is still on the radio. You can hear it through his website via a subscription. Trust actually listen to him for like a month and you'll start to realize that a lot of what is said against him simply isn't true.

Rush is a conservative who loves to poke fun at the Leftists. He likes to expose their lies by giving out the facts. It makes the Left furious and they hate him for exposing them as liars. Rush has fun doing this and says he is putting on an entertaining show while promoting the truth. He does use the truth to entertain, which is why he has the largest RADIO audience in the US.
His one attempt at TV was torpedoed by the liberal networks which put his show on at unpredictable hours from 1-6 AM and his audience was prevented from seeing it.
Have you ever heard his show all the way through? You have only met Leftist Americans. You do not have enough information yet. Some people here have posted answers against him because he makes them angry by telling the truth. Rush enjoys the battle against the Left, exposing them when they do something wrong, but using humor too. Yes, many people take his facts seriously. He often has recordings of just what some idiot Leftist said that is so outrageous you have to oppose them. I listen when I can because he validates what I am already thinking and brings out the facts to show that what I think is right. I listen because what he says agrees with my thoughts, not for him to tell me what to think.

no longer a Rep, yet agree w/ them many of the time. I by no capacity took him heavily. His job is to compliment Rep. leaders and denounce Dem leaders. regardless of if Obama discovered a scientific look after maximum cancers, brokered international peace and invented the longer lasting easy bulb Rush could nonetheless demonize him. Why? 'reason Rush's sponsors pay him to do it! besides often times regardless of if I agree along with his argument, the mofo would properly be slightly frightening! I as quickly as had a dream the place Rush exchange into the biggest protagonist in the movie mom night. Do i even have self belief that Rush is a nazi? no longer any further than i've got self belief i will sail a boat made up of Ice cream Sandwiches to Bora Bora with my leprechaun first mate(yet another dream for yet another talk board)!!! yet that is been shown that desires do have some foundation in how we % issues. i think of my Rush dream could have been by using fact he were slightly militant and off putting in a controversy on something. i think of the Ice cream sandwiches dream could have purely been starvation!

Most people with any sense think Rusty (Rush) Limbaugh is crazy. There are, however, some on the fringe who believe him. It is just like those who believe Nancy Reagan had a baby by a space alien and hid it from Ronny as published in supermarket tabloids.

He isn't on TV only the radio. Doesn't matter what people tell you about him...listen to him (on the Internet if not on Europe radio) or 30 days and judge for yourself. The number of people that like or dislike someone has nothing to do with correctness.

Yes! I have a brother who seems to live by every word which emanates from Limbaugh's mouth. Rush Limbaugh has been exposed as the liar he actually is, and most people think he's a piece of trash trying to make a buck at the expense of those who can't discern his unabashed stupidity and hypocrisy.

ONE reason he is on TV is because he has 20 million plus viewers that DO take him seriously. Those that have told you he is just a crazy old man are the ostriches. Heads in the dirt and @$$es in the air.

He's worshiped by the conservatives in this country. You folks in Europe have it right though. It is cruel to allow his inane ranting and raving but we do practice freedom of speech here according to what's left of our constitution.

He is successful and has many listeners. If he wasn't popular, he would not still be on the radio.
I might listen to him for 5 minutes a day.

As a conservative, I generally avoid listening to him. He does sometimes make good points, but it's not worth sifting through all the other crap he says to find them. He represents everything I resent about the Republican Party. He gives conservatives a bad name.
