![]() It has been so ever since this graybeard was about 16 years of age.* Obviously, our politics wasn't at the root of differences and lack of enthusiasm for the Limbaugh Show. ![]() Limbaugh seems to have a trace of an Appalachian 'twang' in his speaking, no? WELL, in order we will address each of these points, one by one and in chronological order all to be done right here, live and using no safety nets below! AS for our (my) political beliefs and party affiliations, we confess that it is that of Conservative and Republican in that order. It's a common prejudice and one that seems to be on the Approved List of the Political Correctness Police along with the hatred of Catholics and Southern White Folks. Perhaps one had a certain prejudice against a so called overweight or "Under Tall"* person. STARTING with the business of where one stands on the political spectrum would serve to elucidate the situation, surely if one were a Democrat, a Liberal and at almost complete odds with all that he espoused one's dislike for the show would be understandable. Perhaps a cool-headed, intelligent and straight-forward analysis of the show and the situation we were in at that particular time would offer some reasons. The reasons may well seem to have been a puzzlement to us for all these years now numbering up to 17, ever since the show made its debut. Savage, Beck, Ingraham), along with their left-wing counterparts, fade away somewhere, and JUST SHUT UP.įOR SOME STRANGE reason, the RUSH LIMBAUGH Television Series (Ailes Prod./Rush Limbaugh Prod./Multimedia Entertainment, 1992-96) never caught our fancy. Would that he and his right-wing cohorts (e.g. The fact that so many seem to equate enjoying his incessant droning with patriotism is positively scary. For me this guy is obnoxious and decidedly unfunny. It has also been reported that he had a boil or some other type of lesion on his ample posterior. Supposedly, he had asthma (ha! who in the history of mankind has had a louder pair of lungs?). This fat loudmouth, so vociferous, was unable to move his bloated posterior anywhere near harm's way, or into uniform. Limbaugh's insensitivity to the loss of life we have sustained in recent conflicts is nothing short of disgusting and appalling. The only good these extremists - from whichever "pole" - serve is to counterbalance one another. I find the extremists from the opposite side from Limbaugh (such as Alec Baldwin, Al Franken, et al) just as off-target and often annoying as this arrogant blow-hard is. I'm not a screaming liberal, nor am I a vociferous veteran. And their fiercest liberal attackers are the poorly-educated, disenfranchised, trust-fund, entertainment and publishing business 'bohemians' that Americans have never historically trusted. Hannity and Limbaugh are Americans as they've always been, for whatever political labels. While O'Reilly turned out to be a quasi-liberal, and Hannity emerged as a rival to Limbaugh, both Hannity and Limbaugh remain not so much classic conservatives, Hoover conservatives, and certainly not bomb-throwing anarchic liberal ideologues, but simply average Americans, for the good and ill that implies. ![]() And Limbaugh was as grating, or as confident, as ever following that. A decade ago, the liberals thought people would go along, or wouldn't notice. People have had it with delusional, control-freak liberals lying to them like Dan Rather and Mary Mapes, or trying to keep other views from them. That's why Hillary is running as a conservative, now, and not a liberal. You literally had frightened liberals, a couple of years before the Limbaugh victory in 1994, trying to silence his voice on TV. This was before the explosion of the 'web' in 1998-1999, and the explosion of radio and TV conservative talk shows about the same time, most of them thanks to Limbaugh. People had to set their VCRs (remember those?) to tape the show. The thing was slated for 2-3AM in the wee hours of the morning, across the country. Well, there was when it came to his TV show. People say there is no anti-Limbaugh, anti-conservative, liberal conspiracy in the media. Imagine if he had allowed the same screamers from his one-shot appearance on the cancelled Sajak 'tonight-show'-type show. You could see the mixed emotions on that even in quick shots to a friendly audience. He was grating and insulting, depending on your point of view, or childishly arrogant, or defiantly confident, to others. So as was suggested, here, he took the idea of topics from his radio show, added some monitors, and basically did the same thing for the camera, with a small, selected studio audience. He's always been big on charging, which is fine. Limbaugh apparently had an idea to make even more money.
