He may be theatrical and arrogant but he's got a following that is growing by the day. That makes him very relevant. People are listening to him because they are scared of whats happening to our country. There is no one in Washington who is answering the questions we all have so people have to look somewhere. At least Rush, and others like him, are keeping us informed of what is going on in the dark of the night. Our "transparent" government is no where to be seen. Thank God for people like Rush who have the guts to tell us the facts. Please take the time to check up on your legislators and see what they are doing.
Of course he's relevant. He has the biggest listenership of any political talk show host. (Likely any talk show host period) Some people listen because they hate him others because they love him. Either way, if that many people listen he certainly relevant.
You got me. I guess I should have made the question clearer. Looking at things your way makes sense, but my point didn't have anything to do with people tuning in. I would think that most rational people would say, "OK, he has gone too far." even if they tune in.
I'd like to see the stats on that. Howard Stern is on Paid Satellite Radio while Limbaugh is simulcasted to hundreds of stations nationwide for free. I think it might be closer than you think.
I've said it numerous times before - Limbaugh is a total idiot! Who else would come up with logic like that and try to sell it? Now, if anyone is buying it, I have a lakefront property for sale in the middle of the Sahara Desert. What a bunch of crock! He really should heed the old saying (and I paraphrase) - if you don't speak, no one will ever know you're a fool.
