Yes, but it's your money he's getting rich on, not mine. I think he's mocking you. Like Archie Bunker mocking the Joe Six Packs of the day.

To see all you guys worked up in a frenzy just at the mention of Rush is worth every penny.

He's rich because advertisers are there because he still has an audience to support them. His bashing the libs is apparently a timeless moneymaker as he has been doing it for 20 years with several million followers. Three cheers for capitalism at the expense of the anti capitalistic, spread the wealth, anti business liberals. Oh...........Who is your favorite radio talk show host? And for what's worth I don't listen to Rush but appreciate the fact that someone can make $ in this anti business environment!

Neil Boortz ... I like his honesty - "Don't believe anything I say unless you already know it to be true."
And the advertisers wouldn't bother if it didn't increase sales to the listeners. Bravo Zulo capitalism!

I like to listen to him when I'm up and about in the morning, otherwise it's Schnitt and Levin going into work and Humphries and Medved on the way home.

Apology accepted.
Nah, I don't really have anything against O'Reilly, I just find him boring. If I want boring I'll listen to NPR.

You know, you don't realize how tall Bill O'reilly is until he appears on a show like The View and sits on their mini-couch. He's like "basketball-player tall". I'm not a fan of the View, but watch it when a conservative is a guest.
I don't listen to any talk radio. I do like O'Reilly and Hannity.........Hannity is so I can catch Bob Beckel once in awhile.........a great example of a curmudgeon!

O'Rielly is the only one of the cable blowhards that I can stand to listen to for any length of time, but no way could I sit through his schtick every day. I don't really like any of the "opinion" shows, right or left. I find them all to be pretty predictable, almost paint by the numbers in their simplicity. I figure most people listen to/watch them for reinforcement more than anything else.

That's a good observation.

Can't get enough of those turtle's, huh pickup? We ll here's the biggest of em all. And to think, I hated the Power Ranger's.
But isn't that also the problem?

I would guess that the viewer chooses the show that best fits their ideology. This would reinforce their beliefs which, in turn, could indeed be part of the problem.
