RUSH LIMBAUGH: (New Harris Poll) AMERICA’S LEAST FAVORITE NEWS PERSONALITY

RUSH LIMBAUGH: AMERICA’S LEAST FAVORITE NEWS PERSONALITY | A new Harris Poll out today finds that conservative shock jock Rush Limbaugh is America’s “least favorite” news personality, with 46 percent of respondents picking him for the dubious honor. Runners-up Bill O’Reilly and Nancy Grace come in a distant second and third, at 31 percent and 23 percent, respectively. But more interestingly, Limbaugh is universally disliked. He is the only person whom Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike chose as among their top three their least favorite people. (HT: Dylan Byers)

He's a bag of shit, knows it, and keeps capitalizing on being a bag of shit. We demean our nation by letting a bag of shit run our national discourse.

He hates President Obama because the President has turned the national discourse away from stonenuts insanity don't know what to do with myself because I'm fucknuts crazy.

and bigger. They showed a live shot of his radio show last week - he's gained so much more weight. I couldn't believe he'd allowed that kind of exposure.

But what can you do? He's going to foam at the mouth. The issue is the people who listen.

I honestly think his audience is diminishing. Just let it dwindle, and stop caring about what he says.

It's pretty clear that his brand of conservatism is getting thin. He's always branded himself as a Republican's Republican, but that brand has gotten sour.

I'm not offering sympathy. You reap what you sow.

He describes himself as an "entertainer".

He finds he gets away with less accountability that way.

The lying sleazebag.



And BTW Rush Limbaugh is a hardcore junkie pedophile.

It's a dirty little secret but there is no easy way to monitor what people listen to on the radio.

Rush Limbaugh is an Evil little man this much I can agree with, however he is a mere puppet for the real evil he spouts. “The tip of the ICEBERG” the “he is “just a Soldier of evil not the Commander of it” IMO. The real evil remains hidden as always.

I thought he said he was an "entertainer" ... usually used whenever he spouts something vile and fairly controversial ...
