I believe we were at: Maddow and Limbaugh are "same same"
And I was awaiting some enlightened response assuring that Limbaugh was far more well researched and accurate in his ultimate quest of seeking the unbiased truth.

Limbaugh's a hell of a lot more entertaining. He's got a sense of humor. Good use of sarcasm, etc.

And he doesn't claim to be unbiased. If you listen to him enough you'll hear him say he has no interest in being unbiased. He's up front about where he's coming from.

Right, he's an entertainer presenting his myopic views.

Nope, it happened live on Fox - Rove predicted Romney would take at least 279 votes (he got 206) and then melted down on live TV when Fox called the election for Obama. It was a beautiful moment, pity you missed it.

Now that you mention it they do both look like offspring of the Pillsbury dough boy.

Bullshit. Cid is funny as hell but like most of us he doesn't earn his living making jokes so he has the occasional dud and the occasional grand slam.

I was returning from a meeting and tuned into to Rush. He actually said something that was interesting.

Rush said:
People think the Republican Party is the party of Big Business. They're wrong. The Republican Party is the party of crony capitalism or crony socialism. Take your pick.

[OL FU]

After these threads, I have listened to Rush a couple of times lately and it seems to me he just talks about himself or what people say about him, or how wonderful his books are or his ear implant. Maybe I picked the wrong days but

I haven't heard about his ear implant. But I only listen to about 5 minutes, maybe 3 times a week.

You forgot to mention his unparralleled commitment to reporting only the truth...

You're probably right. You can get a lot more mileage out of calling Sarah Palin a cunt.

Well I did hear him say that he was right 99.7% of the time

Well that is a relief... we can put that whole discussion to bed now that we know the facts

I mentioned this the other day. He finds stuff. You listen and you hear about it. Then you look it up and when you talk to people about it you don't mention that you heard it on Rush Limbaugh; though I will in this case because I'm providing an example. This time I was riding around, turned on his show, and heard him chuckling about something saying that polar bears are starving because there's too MUCH ice. I never heard his full take on it. But a few days later, just now, I went ahead and Googled to see what he was talking about.

And here it is:

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/bar ... ring-ice-0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A bonus is that the evolutionary biologist referenced in the story calls earlier studies leading to the conclusion that polar bears were starving due to global warming into question. For example:

“Polar bear biologists were finding some bears quite thin and found a population decline,” she said, which they attributed to melting summer ice caused by global warming.

“But the biologists were not there to see the thick [spring] ice. All they saw was thin bears,” she pointed out. “They blamed the poor condition of the bears on summer ice, instead of acknowledging that it was likely the condition of the ice in the spring that was the cause of the problem.”

“Female [polar bears] with cubs having trouble feeding are one aspect of the repercussions of thick ice,” Crockford added. “The other repercussion is that other bears, instead of hanging around and starving, probably left the area. They could have gone to the Chukchi Sea, which is located between the U.S. and Russia near the Bering Strait.”

Chances are I'd have never heard about that interpretation of the situation if it weren't for Rush Limbaugh finding it and mentioning it on his show. And that kind of thing happens all the time when one listens to him.

A nice tribute. I wonder if the post-Trump JSO will agree?

From the Red State Rustler on Facebook...

Readers, some of you found my recent “windmill cancer” joke to be in poor taste. Honestly, I thought it was fairly mild, but I want you to know I’ve heard your criticism and I’m not too proud to admit when I’m wrong. So now I’d like to take a moment to apologize to Rush Limbaugh as he transitions from living being to bloated, rotting corpse.

The truth is, cancer isn’t funny, and lung cancer is a particularly nasty way to go. Although Mr. Limbaugh has made a career of twisting and torturing truth until it weeps and bleeds and pisses all over the floor of the dank basement that is his soul, and then sopping up this wet filth with a brown dishrag and wringing it into the gaping ear holes of his very intelligent, totally unbiased listeners, it’s important to remember that even our worst enemies deserve to be treated with compassion. So while it may be tempting to make flippant jokes about the delicious irony of an obnoxious, abusive, bigoted, detestable windbag getting cancer right down deep in the place where he gives birth to his lies, please, have some respect.

So don’t say things like, “I wish that sentient sack of pig vomit had three lungs so he could get 33 percent more cancer.” Sorry, not funny.

Refrain from comments such as “Why oh why couldn’t he have gotten cancer in a part of his body he doesn’t use, like his heart?” Not cool.

I don’t want to hear stuff like “I wish there were ten stages of cancer and I wish he had stage ten.” Uncalled for.

Under no circumstances should anyone post things like “I wonder if it’s possible to sponsor a community walk in support of lung cancer? I mean literally in support of the actual cancer cells.” That’s over the line, folks.

As we all know, a cancer diagnosis completely absolves a man of a lifetime of viciousness and immorality. So I want to be clear: In no way do I wish I could drop everything and take a job as a gravedigger at the cemetery that will soon hold his decaying remains just so I could have the opportunity to be the man to throw the last shovelful of dirt onto his cold grave and then dance on top of it while taking long swigs from a bottle of Blanton’s and cackling with glee until dawn.

I apologize to anyone I offended.

I think I still think the basic point if valid. If you listen to Rush Limbaugh you will hear things that can be validated by other sources. However, I have noted post Trump that he does make a lot of false statements. Like one I remember is one time there was a 2-point-something quarterly GDP growth estimate after Trump took office and Rush said that there hadn't ever been a quarter with over 2% growth during Obama. As soon as I heard him say it I knew it was false because I had been into the economic data stuff we talk about all the time. I knew that there was one Obama quarter with >5% and several others with >4% growth. I can't quickly find raw quarterly GDP growth figures again now but you can look at real GDP at https://www.statista.com/statistics/188 ... in-the-us/ and see that there were four Obama quarters with higher growth by that measure than anything so far during Trump. Anyway when I heard Rush say that I knew he was totally full of shit.

Another thing that happened is that the Trump thing caused me to start watching Fox News less while watching MSNBC and CNN more as well as listening to NPR. That made me realize that Rush was frequently mischaracterizing what media sources are saying. I'd say the most common manifestation of that is that he's claim the media were not reporting something when I'd heard it not only reported but emphasized. I also realized he was taking little snips out of context in order to misrepresent what people in the media said.

I think my position now is that, yes, you can hear some stuff on Rush Limbaugh that is true. But you should make sure to try to verify it with other sources before you believe it. And he does say an awful lot that is false and/or misleading.
