Trouble brewing at the EIB Studios

[jclalor 12]

Looks like Cumulus is not happy with Rush and the continuing decrease in ad revenue.

I wonder how happy they are going to be with revenue once he leaves?

Exactly

One of the biggest reasons Rush is such a success is he changed the marketing model

IF he leave them, it will be his choice
Not theirs

But it will be fun to see the spin
The left has been predicting and praying for his demise for decades

Nothing has changed

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

No way that'll happen (his demise).

Too many fearful, and stupid, people buying his BS. It's basic human nature - if it's not him, it'll be someone else filling his shoes.

yet another Proving they have never listened to him. So now tell us who tells you what to think about him

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln

[ianmdrennan 2]

Sorry, son....I've actually listened to him quite a lot. You see, when I road trip (which is often) on my own I end up listening to a lot of right wing, and religious radio stations. Sometimes I hear something interesting, sometimes I don't.

Whenever I've listened to Rush, all I hear is an angry man spewing hate.

So, as usual, you make assumptions without any real knowledge.

So...the tone puts you off. Do you go beyond that and hear the message?

My reality and yours are quite different.

Quade nailed it.

Rush has no meaningful message. Just half truths, speculation wrapped in hate and fear.

People would be better serves, if they want facts, to look elsewhere. If they want someone to pander to their paranoia....well then...that's why he has a market :)

Yet more proof you don't listen to him and get your talking points handed to

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

[rushmc 23]

More proof. Keep it up. You're on a role

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln

So you're calling him a liar? Is Rush really so wonderful that you can't imagine someone listening to him and not immediately being convinced of the everlasting rightness of what he says?

I've listened to him, but it's been a long time. I don't listen to radio rabble-rousers, no matter how much they want to appeal to my desire to feel comfortable in my beliefs. Stephen Colbert called it "truthiness," that feeling that something that's stated is true, and if not, well, it should be true because it sounds so good and likely.

I'll be honest -- I think that the radio talk-show hosts of the polarizing and rabble-rousing variety (both sides) are one of most damaging things to happen to America in the last 30 years.

I am saying he does not listen to him

I am not defending anything he says or stands for here in this thread
But the emotional rants calling him hate filled is proof he does not listen to him

Might not agree but the rest is crap

I have listened to him off an on for 20 years depending on my job

His posts prove he has not listened to him much at all

I am not calling him anything

I am just calling him out

Ian said he listens to him when he travels. Maybe his definition of hate-filled is different from yours? It is possible that other people see the world, and even the same actions, differently from how you do.

"Hate filled" is an epithet generally applied to racists, of which RL is certainly one. Are you really supporting him here? Be careful, that paints you with a certain brush.

You don't listen either. RL is no racist

Oh dear. first few results googleing "Rush Limbaugh greatest hits":

"Why slavery was good: “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

"We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff.”

"Limbaugh:...Obama is holding his own against both of them--doing more than his share of the "spade" work. Maybe even gaining ground at the moment. Using not only the spade ladies and gentleman---that when he finishes with the "spade" in the garden of corruption planted by the Clinton's, he turns to the "hoe." And so the spade work and his expertise using a hoe."

"In March 2007, Limbaugh dipped into his handbag of racist tropes to mock the presidential campaign of Barack Obama with the song parody “Barack the Magic Negro.”

"Hu Jintao–He was speaking and they weren’t translating. They normally translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha,” Limbaugh said."

You say he's not racist? I think you don't understand what the word means. Or alternatively and more worryingly, you know EXACTLY what it means.

Oh dear. You just proved you get your opinions from places other than from yourself. Proof? Research brack the majic negro. It will be mind opening for you. Maybe

Ol' Rush is what he is - A shock jock entertainer. It just so happens that his arena is political and there are a whole lot of people who don't factor in the "entertainment" part and take what he says at face value.

Some people love him, some people hate him. Will spewing one's own personal opinion of him, his methods, or his message change anything? Nope. Trying to reason with a dittohead is like trying to explain ethics to a rock.

So just let people be, believe what they want, right?

Hi rush,

Quote

RL is no racist

Whether someone is racist or not is a very subjective thing. It has to do with what it in a person's mind.

In my mind, Rush is a full-blown racist; apparently, in your's he is not.

[quade 4]

Well, there's always the possibility he's just "playing" a racist for his audience.

I personally don't think he's that good of an actor, but there's always the possibility he's just "playing" a dim-wit.

It's a good thing we have your moral compass to guide into the light...

Leave it to the lefties to know and indeed, to tell us, how to think.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

It is more than just subjuectivity

I have listened to him for years

Most of those examples given above I heard him say (not all)

Since I listened to him and not to what someone is telling me he is saying and why, I am very confident in my position that RL is not racist

Those that say he is have been told by someone else he is

I suspect the same goes for you

BTW, you say it is what is in a persons mind. While I cant speak for anyone but myself on this I disagree with you
I think it has more to do with one's heart

Which had noting to do with Barack Obama. It was a backhanded bitch-slap at Al Sharpton who got pissed off when at the time Senator Obama showed up at one of his 'pro black dude' Chicago rallies (uninvited) and upstaged him.

And it was awesome.

That and the west cost black writer who coined the term and printed a story about it when Obama was winning over many of the lefts chozen one, Hillary

See everyone, here is someone who has formed and opinion by listening to Rush, not about Rush
