Rush Limbaugh...Thumbs Up or Down?

[*AQuietPlace*]

Sean Hannity - gah! All he does is say the word 'specificity' over and over!

I quit listening to him when he got on Obama's pastor and WOULD NOT SHUT UP about it!!!! All right already!!! We got the point.

I think Hannity was getting kick-backs from the Bush Whitehouse. He was reading the Press Secretary notes half the time.

I enjoy listening to Rush for the most part............I hate his potty mouth though at times........BAD Rushie!

I don't care for the Beck guy nor the Savage guy either, something about their voices irritate me to no end!

I can learn all I need to pretty much know in politics by listening to Rush. Can only take a few doses of him a week though! LOL

Politics..........are so Political and stuff!

I have to say, though, that Beck is quite brilliant. He's good at what he does, if that's what we are counting here.

And his tears just mean he probably is passionate and actually believes half of what he says. He gets blasted for that so much... that and crying about his faith. I admire that part actually. But it does support the idea that his arguments tend toward the emotional and spastic side as well.

I agree, the man is brilliant. Just love that chalkboard he carries around everywhere he goes! LOL!

I don't care if he wants to cry. Just don't read the Christmas story through tears and then say the "B" word and that he wants to "french kiss" Gov. Rick Perry!

both of these guys have a vastly more intelectual and non-confrontational approach.

Does Bill give gambling tips?

THUMBS DOWN!!!!

was first introduced to him in the early 90's @ bible college...and you could hear his viral verbage being spewed all throughout the dorm. i don't care for someone who is a hater...but is unwilling to step up and do something. if he believes being an elected official is an easy job...then step Rush and show us how its suppose to be done.

I would rather listen to the greatest hits of Vinella Ice performed by William Hung.

i may have to create another account just so i can vote twice.

I doubt he was actually getting paid. And, don't forget that one very prominent White House Press Secretary under GWB was Hannity's close friend and colleague for years, the late Tony Snow. I don't think they actually had to be reading from the same page to come across as though they were "on the same page."

And don't forget this one: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-fi...talking-points

Here we have an Anchor from a network whose parent corporation has received BILLIONS of dollars in federal payouts from the Obama administration and she's not just reading the White House talking points - she's writing them! MSNBC and NBC news really are the official tools of the Obama administration and the DNC.

Speaking of reading the notes, that's my whole problem with all these guys and it's why I tend to prefer guys like Bill O'Reilly. Hannity, Limbaugh and others seem to always be playing by the Conservative Playbook and they just spew the conservative party line no matter what.

For example, what Trent Lott said about Strom Thurmond was HORRIBLE!!!! WAY out of bounds. But sure enough, there was NO WAY these guys were going to criticize a conservative so they all spewed the same excuses for him.

Why couldn't they just man up and say, "One of our guys was WRONG!!"? I don't understand that.
