A liberal admires and loathes rush limbaugh

as an uber liberal, I admire rush - he is hardworking, entertaining, and very good at what he does; I imagine that walter winchell was like that.
Of course, he is pretty loathsome; it is not that he says things that arent' true, but he is completely shameless in implication; recently he has been blasting Obama and Pelosi for things setup by bush - miranda rights to terrorists (bush/shoebomber) and special plane trips for Pelosi (speakr of the house #2 in sucession , after 9/11 bush hastert setup a private plane policy)


Liberals and rush-haters in general make the mistake of attacking rush on the facts, like the preceding paragraph in this blog. But that is beside the point; rush isn't, at heart, about facts, he is about people who feel, in some way, powerless or mad or something; people like that will twist facts to suit their world view. It's like the old joke, how do you tell a paranoid person they are crazy ? That is the rush audience: even if rush were to go live on TV and renounce his prev life, and say he was now aliberal, the rush lovers would simply say he had something implanted in his brain;

the other amusing thing abut rush is that he represents the petit bourgoisie, exactly in a marxian class based way; he is for the small shop keeper who resents unemployment tax...

Today rush with the entire right wing nutosphere was going on about Obama's comment that you shouldn't spend your college money in Vegas
?What kind of moron would argue with that >
