rushmc 18 #26 January 22, 2010 Quote Quote 2) throw the attitudes and topic style used by the left back at them Who on the left was using Limbaugh's style when he started? I thought this thread had well established that no-one wants to listen to angry left wing talk radio? (Genuinely interested) Nobody on the left is using HIS style He is throwing projections (like you are doing here) and logic styles back in their faces See, you dont like it either"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Gene03 0 #32 January 24, 2010 Quote Quote >I am surprised the 2 people that listen to it is a large enough market to >support that station. In NY, apparently that's one more than listens to Rush: ---------------------------------- Franken factors in younger listeners Air America radio network does well among group that advertisers covet By John Cook Tribune staff reporter Published May 27, 2004 Despite ongoing financial woes, Air America Radio appears to have garnered a significant audience during its first month on the air, particularly among the younger listeners sought by advertisers. An analysis of recently released figures from Arbitron, the radio ratings service, showed that in New York Air America beat Rush Limbaugh's station among 25-to-54-year-olds during the period that Limbaugh and Al Franken, the host of the flagship show "The O'Franken Factor," go head-to-head. I find it depressing that anyone listens to either of them. Thank you John, Something we can both agree on. “The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

RonD1120 58 #33 January 24, 2010 Quote Quote Quote So I can assume you read the date posted of all the posts you read. Well, when the thread was started by a poster I know has been inactive since Bush's re-election then yeah, I usually do. When the posts in the thread contain quoted by-lines (that you yourself re-quoted yet still failed to notice) dated 6 years ago, then yeah, I usually do. It's called attention to detail, it takes seconds, and I'm starting to think that your lack of it explains a lot of the poorly researched opinions you post here... Just to check, you do now understand that you were ragging on Bill for being "misleading" because of stuff that happened over a year after he posted some data that was current and correct at the time of posting, right? Do you always get this defensive when someone points out a mistake to you? You must be a nightmare to work with. Oh the assumptionsI cant even tell you who started it Defensive? Projecting again? Next? It is just pretty much his style. I think it comes from being absorbed in the telly. Eh what? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 58 #34 January 24, 2010 Quote Quote Just curious if there is any position that Limbaugh has that you dont agree with? Yes at different levels I would defend Franken against lies on his position just as I do Limbaugh (if I had ever listen to him) Two things the left refuses to remember are the two main tenants of his show style 1) reflect or show or expose the absurd by being absurd and 2) throw the attitudes and topic style used by the left back at them It works really well winding them up After 20 years of listening to him off and on I know two things for sure 1) he is most defiantly NOT racist and 2) he wants all people to succeed (but now by sucking the government teat) Now he has started his daily media tweaks (refer to the first enumerated points I made) And they work really really well Exactly correct. In Aug 89 I was volunteering at the Tampa Vet Center. One day a retired AF Major suggested that I listen to Rush on the basis of his truthful, fresh originality. He said, "Rush will make you think." The first program I tuned in Rush proclaimed, "You cannot possibly understand me or this program unless you listen everyday for six weeks." That is pure marketing genius. In effect, he challenged the listener intellectually and the outcome of the challenge is that the listener will have developed the habit of listening. I started laughing so hard I almost had to pull to the side of the road. In the field of rehabilitation counseling, it is understood that any behavior repeated daily for 28 days will become a habit in most cases. I have remained a loyal listener. He truly does make me think.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
