[11 Bravo]

Do you agree with Schwarzenegger that Limpy is irrelevant? Currently 83% say YES! It is mind over matter, ya fat fuck. We don\'t mind because you don\'t matter.

1. What's a "Limbaugh?"

What might it be relevant to, if it were to be relevant to something?

[wicket]

6. You've never heard of Rush Limbaugh?

:shrug:

[Jackpine Radical]

10. Dang.

Forgot that little "sarcasm" thingie again.

[wicket]

12. No problem

:D Happens to me all the time, especially when I haven't had my coffee hehehe ;)

:donut:

[Kelly Rupert]

38. Don't worry, your sarcasm was obvious n/t

[BOSSHOG]

2. Sadly

He might be relevant to little boys in the Dominican Republic.

[11 Bravo]

3. Only if he remembers to bring his Boner in a Bottle.

[wicket]

4. Done

:kick:

[Dhalgren]

5. Wow! Poor cyst-boy. 83% say irrelavant...

[bryant69]

7. I disagree

If you are making a list of the most important political thinkers of the past 30 years (and I am using thinker in a very broad sense) you have to put Limbaugh on that list. His way of looking at politics, mean spirited, nasty, hateful though it is, is, if not dominant, certainly a major strain of (or stain on) modern Conservativism. There's a reason Cheney and Bush go on his show.

Without Limbaugh would we have a Bush today?

32. That's a good observation

Regardless of his politics, the fact that he draws the listenership that he does merits him as relevant. Not to mention the influence he seems to have on right-wing politics/politicans.

[Jonathan50]

8. Actually I would argue that Limbaugh is very relevant..

He is the poster child for the sickness of the neo cons...

I would like to see his more extreme statements, which he constantly utters, piped into every home in America.

[EstimatedProphet]

31. Why would you want that? You'll get more dittoheads!

I don't get it when people say that "so-and-so should be given more coverage", as if somehow it will expose him. Limbaugh is already exposed! He gets enough coverage as it is, and look at what damage has been done by him because of the exposure he has. Pipe him into every home in America, and we'll have more freepers than we do now. That's how his species reporduces.

[Jonathan50]

36. I disagree..

His making fun of Michael J Fox hurt the Republicans.

There are a lot of things he says that will outrage those who aren't already committed Busheviks.

[guitar man]

18. welcome to DU!!

:hi:

[bdamomma]

13. done, and since when should Limbaugh be relevant?

what a worthless piece of sh$t.

[Canuckistanian]

14. Still at 83%

Look like most people dislike Limbaugh 24/7.

[terrya]

15. Done. Time to throw this asshole in the dumpster of popular culture.

Over, jumped the shark, etc. I don't agree with Arnold Schwartznegger on a lot of things, but I sure agree with him on this.

[NoPasaran]

16. Limbaugh ceased to be relevant the day he went electric

What a fucking sellout.

[Nikki Stone1]

30. Electric?

I'm not up on that

[stillcool]

17. I got this one...

Do you agree with President Bush that requiring White House advisers to testify under oath would damage their ability to give the president 'candid advice'?
Yes 0%
No 100%

[ChairmanAgnostic]

19. the've changed to a question on Bush and subpeonas. NT

[The Count]

20. and it's a more relevant poll now, so DO vote!

[vireo]

21. New question

Do you agree with President Bush that requiring White House advisers to testify under oath would damage their ability to give the president 'candid advice'?

Currently 73% NO

[Zywiec]

22. Who listens to AM radio?

What kind of person listens to Rush on AM radio when there is so much on FM, satellite, CD, etc..

[stanwyck]

23. The white-knuckled male drivers

hunched over the steering wheel (no woman in sight) with anger seeping through every pore. They hate women, gays, minorities, immigrants (legal and not), intellectuals, environmentalists, educated people, and any religion other than their own.
And they listen to AM radio and Rush and any other loud-talker out there who will help them at least feel rage. Cause that's all they feel these days. Rage. It's their fuel.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

24. ach - an anti white male post!

on the other hand, methinks that you are right.

I believe several of them called in to Cspan this morning, by the way.

[stanwyck]

25. not bashing ALL men!

just the ones I described. The men here at DU on the other hand...absolutely perfect in every way.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

26. LOL

even the freepers who sneak in?

[stanwyck]

27. oh, we know who they are

their sweat of desperation always seeps through -- even through the internet.

[Firepit 462]

28. Air America is on AM radio here in NM........... so thanks for that.

[stanwyck]

29. OK. Now you're bragging

since so many of us aren't able to pickup Air America in any vehicle except a laptop.

[Firepit 462]

33. I'm on the road a lot here in NM,

I can pick up AA in Albuquerque perfectly, Santa Fe it changes to a different station, and I can usually pick up the signal off and on throughout most of Northern NM. Southern NM the signal is GONE 30 miles outside Albuquerque.

Santa Fe and Albuquerque must be receiving it from different translators because the programing is not the same. Randi is on in the late morning/early afternoon in Santa Fe, but not until 4:00 in Albuquerque. Ed schultz is on instead of Al Franken, 10:00 - 1:00 in Albuquerque, don't really care much for Ed Schultz on most days, but I have to admit I never got Al Franken, I think he was annoying at best. I never heard Tom Hartman before the programming changes but he is on in Albuquerque from 1:00 to 4:00 and I have to say he is my favorite on AA.

[npincus]

35. me- AAR

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. I do, AM, Air America

[Forkboy]

34. Yeah,but the more people who vote just make look like he is relevant.

Or I am just being difficult? :evilgrin:
