  2. Most American conservative writers I read on a regular basis are saying Obama is cooked if the polls are within 5 points. I find myself doubtful, but having followed these guys through three Presidential elections and seeing them predict the winner every time, there is a glimmer of hope that Obamessiah won’t win. I truly hope America does not vote Demo top to bottom. My God…..

  3. I prefer Michael Savage by leaps and bounds who seems to be a much more independent thinker. Not to take away from Limbaugh who I agree is brilliant, although sometimes hypocritical.

  4. With 20 million Americans tuning in he obviously is the thorn in the side of lefty MSM. Do they work harder just to compensate?
    I hope he’s right.

  6. I started listening to Limbaugh in 1994 at The Arms Chest in Pleasantville NY. It was the very first time I had ever heard what I thought said on the radio as if it were a good thing.
    Limbaugh rocks.

  9. Too bad the interviewer isn’t a “good listener” either: Rush says “fruited plain”, not “fruited land.”
    What else in this piece is inaccurate I wonder?

  10. Cal:
    Can’t take a joke or an insult? I guess conservatives prefer giving over receiving…
    I read the article…and I know math and units of measurement too.
    If you’re 5’10” and you weigh 322 lbs (23 stone), then you lose 96 lbs (a hundredweight), you still weigh 226 lbs. Rush may be less fat, but he’s still fat.

  11. While we do have some regional half-hearted ones a la Rutherford and Breakenridge in the west, is it any wonder that Canadians have to turn their ears to the Americans for true conservative voices.
    The closest sole conservative source in this country resides in Delisle Saskatchewan.
    Pity that voice is not taken to the next level, and on air literally, across this nation.

  12. Obviously his weight is a pre-occupation of yours Devin. When you figure it out, care to tell us what you think about what Rush has to say about the American candidates for POTUS?
    We can wait til you get back from school.

  13. Joe, check out your local Corus Radio Network provider. They feature the likes of John Oakley and Charles Adler.

  14. Well, Dev, if you are pre-occupied with F_t people, why don’t you start harping about Michael Moore, this guy rolls into a room. Or are his off-the-deepend leftard politics more palatable to you, such that, it’s just OK for your buddy MM to be grotesquely overweight?

  15. Adler is a poser. Not sure exactly what he is trying to be but he works too hard at it regardless.
    The state of radio in Canada is pathetic. The CRTC would come down so fast on a truly right wing, partisan host. Stations have to balance off any limited rightwing leanings with sacharine averageness.
    I love driving through the US and picking up station after station with talk radio.
    CKNW in Vancouver used to be fairly right until Corus took over and added Adler, added Christie Clark (wife of Mark Marissen former Liberal wonderboy), and added boring old pants up to his nipples Bill Good. Nothing to offend the masses which ends up appeasing the lefties. No other talk radio in Vancouver to speak of.

  16. Interesting point made by Rush in the interview, re: Obama.
    “He is going to need to be up by 10 or 12 points to win by 3 or 4”.
    Heard this meme before; I hope it proves to be accurate!

  17. Hee hee… I love it.
    Protect the King! Protect the King!
    He’s fat and likes to insult people. I insulted him — get over it…
    I don’t particularly agree with his politics. He is little more than a sensationalist who makes millions of dollars winding up the likes of you right wing troglodytes…

  18. Danggit Kathy,, you beat me to it.
    I have never had a cigar from Desmond Sautter’s of Mayfair, hmmm, I wonder what that would taste like with some Seagrams’s 7, while watching Grant Park get burned to the ground come the evening of Nov. 4th ?
    ,

  19. Sounds like one commenter is concerned that Rush carries a lot of weight around conservative talk radio.

  20. devin (maxwell smart)
    I like the way you write your comments,it show’s for all see that if you cannot win as a lefty you insult. well good luck with that.
    also check all the comments to see how many agree with you against the don’t agree’s, sort of like our canadian election results.
    the other pete

  21. “Rush may be less fat, but he’s still fat.”
    When you can’t argue intellectual ideas, it always comes down to appearance for you liberal morons doesn’t it.
    As Rush would put it: arguing with half his brain tied behind his back, just to make it fair.

  22. The visceral bile expressed by the left is an interesting phenomena. What drives it?
    I can think of no equivalent from the right. We may not like Layton or Rae Dion or Obama but I never hear it expressed as “we hate him”. Sure, we may mock or ridicule them but rarely does it degenerate to attacks on physical appearance. Inevitably the left sinks to a childlike level of “you smell” and “i hate you”.

  23. For you newbies, Rush was on Canadian TV in the very early years when he had a TV show & his radio programme. His show came on very late night but he was blown off by the write-in campaign protesting his unbalanced stance. I believe it was CTV, but I stand to be corrected.
    CTV could not withstand the barrage unleashed by the left. But then that’s how politics is done here.

  24. Will be cleaning the shotgun this weekend.
    1oz, 000, 000, 00, 00 is the recipe for violent lunatics.
    I sure hope a lot of people get real smart and behave…

  26. “FAT FAT THE WATER RAT” Well that blows up Rushs well thought out remarks /not/ Thing of it is Mr. Limbaugh could diet if he wanted and lose the extra pounds, sarge and devin would still be stuck “way out there on the left” say BTW isn’t one of your lefty “heroes” M Moore ” a fat bastard” just askin’ let me know if you are PO’ed I just might want to do it again.
    cheers Bubba

  27. Thanks, bluetech, for your comment to Devin, “We can wait til you get back from school”. A good laugh!
    To Devin: how about an ARGUMENT, documented, about what you disagree with re El Rushbo. E.g., Let’s have some intelligent, knowledgeable thoughts versus adolescent “nya, nya, nya” feelings.

  30. Never listened to “Rush”, am thinking of subscribing to “Sirius Radio”. We need to listen and read more, I am thinking. News Media is dead as it has reached all the base it will ever have. The people such as Kate on the blog-sphere are seeing to it that the truth is finally reaching people who want to know.

  31. A little bit of trivia.
    Back in the late 80’s, early 90’s, Rush did his show from the studios of WABC in New York. His time slot was 12 to 3 PM.
    The host after him was radio talk legend Bob Grant, however, in the morning from 9 to 12 it was a little known local host by the name of Joy Behar.
    Yes that Joy Behar. Now you know why Rush isn’t bothered by waterboarding, because he’s been through worse.

  32. Rush reminds me very much of Reagan when he was on the radio in the ’70s in Northern California. His logical and humorous talks coaxed me back from the abyss of issues liberalism.

  33. I need some help here. I tried to get Rush on my laptop today but could not receive from any station. My first two choices timed out & I couldn’t connect. The other stations gave me a message that they could not connect me because I was in Canada.
    Anybody know if there’s an effort to block Rush north of the 49th?
    I tried WABC at 3:30 & I connected, no problem.

  34. Wow Devin, who would have guessed that you are a lieberal lawyer. Ad homen attacks on Limbaugh sounds about right for progressives who can’t make a decent argument or engage in a discussion. Add 20 years to your tender age and tell me you will be in the same weight category.

  36. It was winter of ’93/’94 when Rush Limbaugh’s TV program had a brief stint on our airwaves. Some individual CTV stations ran taped episodes, sort of like late night infomercials, probably alerted by the fact that: “Hey! This guy is popular down south of the border. Let’s get in on this.”
    Before long, the broadcasters got a better flavour of the political tone of Rush and it probably wasn’t as good a fit as they’d they first assumed. His show disappeared without ceremony but was still available on CBS(?)-Detroit, which was on the Shaw Cable line-up, at the time. Just as I was becoming quite familiar with his program, Shaw Cable restructured their channels and CBS-Toledo replaced the Detroit feed. The only noticeable difference was that there was no more Rush Limbaugh. Rush had been hushed completely, north of the border (in the pre-mass-internet days).
    I’m getting a similar feeling regarding Glen Beck’s show which recently seems to have disappeared from CNN-Headline News. It’s almost as if the networks are trying to manipulate the agenda (sarc).

  37. I can think for myself and when I listen to what Rush has to say, I can seperate the chaff from the wheat.
    When he is right= he is RIGHT. And he has Obama pegged to the fence.
    I hope America doesnt do the wrong thing by electing the Obama, Pelosi, Raines and Frank gang.
    Nothing good will come of that and it will be bad news for Canada as well.

  39. Hard Right- That’s sort of a vicious chamber lineup. Why not put one BB up front to serve as a “warning shot”? That way no one can accuse you of being heartless.

  40. A transcript of a recent program ends with this money quote:

    And this is why in the past week to ten days, I’ve made the point repeatedly here, not to fall prey to what you see on television and read in the dwindling editions of newspapers that are out there.

    .
    Indeed.

  41. Texas Canuck:
    I think the term you are looking for is ad hominem. It means appealing to ones emotions and prejudices, rather than intellect. I figured you were unfamiliar with the term given that you called me a ‘lieberal lawyer’ immediately after using it (not to mention your inability to spell it).
    Its also interesting that you would use the term in a comment on a posting about Rush Limbaugh — a man who could be defined by the ad hominem attacks he has made over the years. He has made a living at it and his fanatics are only happy to follow blindly.

You know nothing about me (although more than I know about you given that you lack the courage to post under your real full name). I’d be happy to tell you more, or answer any of your questions if you’d only ask…

  43. Devin, while I never said my spelling was perfect, you are still a lieberal (and that is MY spelling) lawyer. That is, if I believe what you wrote in your blog. A thousand pardons for misspelling “ad hominem” but my comment is still valid.
    Your “fat” description of Rush has no more relevance on his intellect or political analysis than does Fluffy Duffy’s coverage of the Canadian political scene. In other words, it was juvenile.
    btw, courage has nothing to do with my use of a descriptive “handle”. I don’t have a blog and hate having my email box trashed with spam by folks who disagree with my views and engage in childish behavior.

  44. Devin, while his spelling may have heen incorrect, his sense of the meaning of the word was correct. You are the one that does not know what ‘ad hominem’ means
    Here is a boatload of definitions from different sources, none of which match yours.
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+ad+hominem&aq=f&oq=
    Here is the first one: “In an argument, this is an attack on the person rather than on the opponent’s ideas. It comes from the Latin meaning “against the man.””
    Now that you know what the term means, would you care to give any examples of Limbaugh’s ad hominems? You know, the ones he makes a living making? I don’t think you can give one, although he is on the air 3 hours a day, year round, so you may be able to dig one up.
    By the way, I seriously doubt you are a lawyer. I know several lawers, and I don’t know one who would have made the stupid blunder you just did.
