I laugh over how many people actually are brainwashed by
Rush Limbaugh. Don't they know he is laughing all the way
to the bank? This guy afraid to have any guests on his show
who can challenge him. He talks about the war and military
but didn't even served due to a supposely bad back I hear.
(sure doesn't seem to stop him from playing golf though)
He's a joke !!

Jealousy is a painful emotion, isn't it?
I would be fascinated to know how many seconds you have actually listened to him. Speaking of brainwashing, it sure looks like the Moveon orders have been firmly implanted in someone's brain.

Limbaugh did have back problems and he is not very good at golf. He'd be happy to tell you about it.
Rush is not brainwashing people. The majority of his audience is just people that share his opinions and enjoy hearing his take on the issues. Some listen because they trust his opinions and, when they don't know enough about a subject to know what to think, he explains the issue in detail and how he thinks of it. Some listen because they do not agree with him but are curious as to how he gets to his positions.
Rush is not afraid of guest. If you ever listen to his broadcast, you will learn that so much content is discussed in 3 small hours that it is rare for a guest to be compelling enough to get in the way.
Rush is afraid of no one. Rush will routinely have callers who disagree with him. Many callers who disagree are well informed and pose a good argument. Rush will debate the issues and give a good chance for the caller to make their case, so long as they are not spouting propaganda.
Therefore Rush is not a joke.

The joke is that people listen to him.
All the crap he spews has already been proved to be miserible failures.
Privatization is a failure all over the world.
Argentina nearly went bankrupt trying Privatization.
South Africa and even in Alanta it failed when they privatized the Public Water Systems. Only the wealthy were served.
The TRICKLE DOWN Economics is a failure now just like it was under President Hoover. Reagan and his lackeys robbed the U.S. to force their NAFTA on the American People.

Rush Limbaugh has the biggest listening audience on Talk Radio, and a large percentage of them are people in the Military. He does have guests at times, but that isn't how his Program works, he takes plenty of Calls from whining children to more than make up for his lack of guests. Why don't you sit down and acutely listen to him, you've never done that; Have you ?

No more of a joke than your question. I hardly ever listen to Rush, and yet I'm still a conservative. And you know what? I'll bet I say things on a daily basis and make comments on Democrats that Rush is also making, but I don't know about it because I hardly ever listen to him.
He agrees with me, not the other way around. He's just (finally) someone in the media who reflects what many people already think, and since it makes liberals angry to even think of people thinking in that way, they have to create someone or something to blame to justify it in their minds.

No, he's not a joke. And why do you think only people who have served can have an opinion about anything. That would disqualify most of the Democratic Presidential hopefuls as well as 99% of the Hollywood and media "elites".

I disagree with you. I listen to Rush Limbaugh every day. I enjoy his program because he usually agrees with me and my political philosophy. I don't believe you can produce any evidence that he even tried to brain wash someone, let alone succeed.
Mr. Limbaugh has had guests on his show. Clarence Thomas was on for 1 1/2 hours about one week ago. He has had callers like Dick Cheney and President George Bush. I bet they never called you.
We have 300 million people in the US. We could not possibly have everyone in the US serve in the military. He does respect the military and supports them. Do you?

Actually he did not have a bad back, he had a pimple on his nether regions.
Note the callers are all pre screened and trained on what to say.
He is funny, unfortunately, the sector of the population he panders to seems to have traded their brains for a set of crayons.

He is one of the main reason why America is so divided. He engages in hateful politics to attack potential candidates.
He even had the audacity to attack Barack Obama's ethnicity, which is something Senator Obama had no control over.

It's entertainment, although not really a thinking man's show. It's sort of like Fox News.
