I was reading this DU post about Rush Limbaugh, and I wondered...

[FormerRepublican]

...how the heck can Rush Limbaugh think he's mainstream America?

Link to Post

He's complaining about DU, thinking we're way off to the left. But considering the fact that Bush is polling at 33% approval, and conservative TV and talk shows are losing ratings, what delusion is he suffering from that would make him think HE is mainstream America?

Back on the Oxycontin?

1. He's always been delusional

It's just more blindingly obvious now.

He's starting to stick out like a sore thumb when even the half-sane commentators are starting to turn against Shrub.

He wouldn't know mainstream if it mugged him in the street. He IS the elitist he constantly complains about.

2. Are you seriously...

Trying to make sense from the blatherings of a bloated gas pig?

3. Rush lives in a $9 million Florida mansion

paid for by his dittoheads. He cares about suckering in a challenged audience and calling them mainstream. It makes them feel better as he is robbing them. Something sick there.

4. Rush is a business

33% of the population is plenty for him to turn a profit. Doesn't matter about "mainstream", etc.

5. Oh, he's streaming alright...with his oxycontin addiction.

I love how the bigot with the evangelist-like diction can spew his hatred & propaganda, then run with his tail between his pudgy legs to the ACLU to defend his secret meetings with his maid at the gas station to get his daily fixes.

6. This is Rush Limbaugh Night.....It Certainly

felt like he is being plug in this forum, A message to you and yours, no one gives a FLYING FUCK ABOUT Rush, so people stop plugging his ass.

:mad: :mad: :puke:

8. It's nice to know he reads DU

:rofl:

I think it's fucking great he mentions DU. Go for it, rush! Talk some more about DU!

When will his antiquated blowhard ass and those like him realize if they say it, people will go check it out? DU's helped do some converting from what I've read since I've been here.

Faux news helped advertise Franken's book.

I love it.

9. Free publicity for us.

But it may also mean that there are gonna be more Freepers around for a while. :shrug:

[cynatnite]

11. There are always freeptards around

:) More fun for us.

12. He has a quarter billion dollar contract and that's his act.

It's simple as that. Rush doesn't give a fuck about the people he is deceiving, doesn't care that his words can effect the country in a negative way and really doesn't care which way the polls go. It helps his show either way. He cares about the money and the prestige and he's laughing all the way to the bank.
