SAVAGE: And yet here in America, I've had some people come to my aid. They see the bigger picture. They're not like [Bill] O'Reilly; they're not like Limbaugh, who's the biggest disappointment of all. Limbaugh has turned out to be the biggest phony of all of them, all of them. Amongst all of them, he is the biggest fraud. Rush Limbaugh is a fraud. When he was accused of the drug usage, I supported him. But that man is a one-way street. It's all about him. He's in it for nobody but himself.



Oh my!.......


rule 1 of war, divide and conquer. Whats it called when an enemy does that to itself?

In this case, ego trumps ideology. These guys will gladly rip themselves to shreds if they think it can raise their own profile. I think Limbaugh also knows that his own personal success is probably better if the Dems stay in power longer, hence the will to keep the republicans from expanding their base and uniting under an electable banner.

Anyone who thinks Rush is not in it for himself simply has not been paying attention. These new Rush revelations are funny ... Rush has not changed. He started out as an entertainer and he remains an entertainer.

when people use this word "entertainer" what is it supposed to mean? That we shouldn't take anything he says seriously? He sounds serious when he says it...If he's not it's truly tragic that people would form their opinions around entertainment.

IcyPatriot

He takes small grains of opinionated truth ... that being how some in the middle to the right would perceive truth and/or fact. Then he builds a scenario around it. He finds villains and usually a hero or 2. Not too many heros as the enetertainment works best with a few vs the many.

He is serious about what he says ... but he embellishes that seriousness into entertainment. He has used the "I will educate you" hand since he began. He is not a republican ... he is an old fashioned conservative, definitely not a bible thumper o even a vigorous right to lifer. He bases most of what he says on a strict interpretation of our Constitution.

I used to listen to him a lot before we had 790 The Score here in RI. Then we got WEEI in FM and I almost never listen to him. Once in a while I tune in ... when I know he is all flustered ... nothing has changed.
He's not the bad guy he's made out to be and he does mean well. he just has a huge problem adapting the Constitution to today's country and world and he fuels this fustration with his gift of entertainment ... the heros and villains routine. It's real easy to piss off liberals by laughing at them and conservatives by ramming leftist ideas down their throat ... he's made millions doing it. Think of the right as 1700's Americans and the left as the British who are coming and it all makes sense. Not a comparison people ... just an example of the rage he fuels.

This entertainer is listened to upwards of 20 millions of people daily.. most of them really believe he is a politician with a viable message. He does a very good job "entertaining" folks... many folks never question the veracity of what he says.

Yes ... but that's also true of FOX, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post etc... Many here resource multiple media sites, often times for the same story. I really don't believe most of America does that or cares to do that. I think many people would rather hear what they want to hear ... thus they listen to Rush, Savage, Olberman and all the rest.

Real World

Michael Savage is a wiener.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
