Actually, the type that don't want to think listen to programs (both right-leaning and left-leaning) that feed them their opinions. Do you mean they listen to programs to find out what to think, or to programs that mirror their opinions? I sometimes listen to Rush, and I sometimes listen to that shrill, dumb harpy Randi Rhodes. I more often agree with Rush than I do with her (especially since she is 99% unreasoned, hysterical vitriol and 1% good points. Believe it or not, there are many time I think Rush is wrong, or goes overboard, or engages in sophistry and won't cop to it. No one does my thinking for me but me. But that's too easy an accusation to throw around, anyway. Why not consider that some people haven't thought much about a subject, and then they hear someone else who has speak on that subject, and what they hear makes sense to them, and so they agree and that becomes their opinion? That's not nearly the same as saying, "I'm just gonna go with whatever Rush says about it." -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

rushmc 23 #27 January 2, 2006 QuoteQuoteIt is obvious to me you have not listened to him much........ I don't listen to him a lot because of my work hours but even so, I wouldn't listen to him much because I think he is disingenuous. Disingenuous or not, he has a very sharp wit. Walt Join Rush 24/7 then you can download his prodcast on your Ipod As for the disingenuous comment. I have listening to him for many year off and on. I feel he believes what he speaks and he has been very consistant for many many years but, to each their own. ....now I will be labled and mindless follower......"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I don't know about anyone else, but I won't consider you a mindless follower. Even if I did, I think there are far worse people to mindlessly follow than Rush. Me, for example!
