Remember, that was:
19% approval
40% disapproval
41% never heard of

With those numbers you have no problem starting a sentence with “Most of the people like the guy or…”?

Look at the increase in “Never Heard Of / No Opinion”. And that’s just in five or six years.

These events are should help Rush get back on top, but they are not helping the Republicans, that’s for sure.

Jay Caruso says: “He is? That last poll showed something like 19% approval, with 40% disapproval and 41% who have never heard of him…”

That’s not what the last poll I saw said. His ‘No Opinon’ number was barely more than his approval number. His Net disapproval number was close to 40%.

Couldn’t find that one, but I did find this…

mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/63758.html

The poll found 30 percent of Americans with favorable opinions of Limbaugh, and 46 percent with unfavorable opinions. A solid 33 percent of all Americans have “very unfavorable” opinions of the talk show host.

33%, a plurality, despise Rush.

“So it would seem that ‘most’ Americans either like the guy or don’t know who he is.”

Even if your numbers are correct, that would not be an accurate statement. Knowing the guy is a binary choice, so for ‘most’ to be accurate, it would have to be above 50%. Additionally, the actual response is not ‘Don’t know him’ it is ‘No Opinion / Not sure’. This includes people that don’t know who Rush is, but it is not entirely composed of those people.

Could be. At least we can all agree that Mr. Limbaugh is truly heinous person: a racist, sexist, extreme asshole. Well, he is.

He is? That last poll showed something like 19% approval, with 40% disapproval and 41% who have never heard of him (as I have pointed out on numerous occasions that there are people who live their lives outside of the political spectrum and don’t know who the hell most talk radio hosts are). So it would seem that “most” Americans either like the guy or don’t know who he is.

BTW, “Uncle” Thomas Sowell’s latest column continues the compulsory GOP fellation of His Nibs…

I always get the warm and fuzzies when certain liberals take advantage of using such slurs simply because they’re black. You’re projecting Randy. Stop with the self-loathing.

Roughly the same amount of listeners who still lurve them some W.

Who are, I would surmise, the same people who yell “Get a job!” at random liberals. So either they don’t have one themselves, which makes them hypocrites, or they’re making these phone calls on company time.

Lardass has only about 20 million listeners ever week, and there are vastly more adults than that in the US. Remember, 70 million voted for Obama last year, and over 60 million chose McCain.

Limpballs has a hardcore, intellectually-stunted cult following, and nothing more.

Unfortunately, that is probably not true (emphasis on the word “unfortunately”).

If? It already happened, and the American people blame the Republicans.

“But I guess that’s what separates me from partisan douchebags like yourself.”

On the one hand, we are talking about a Republican grovelling to a heinous right-wing radio talk show host that is despised by most Americans.

On the other hand, you are talking about the state of the national and global economy collapsing.

Those are not even close to being equal.

And you call us partisan?

You don’t get out much, do you?

Equivalence!

But I guess that’s what separates me from partisan douchebags like yourself.

Tell us more about how much of a mensch you are, menschy.

Oh, and thanks for your service…in the Culture War.

If the economy collapses and costs Democrats a majority in Congress in 2010 and the White House in 2012 I can assure you I WON’T be smiling.

But I guess that’s what separates me from partisan douchebags like yourself.

Yes. “Commander Bunnypants”.

You’re welcome.
