Spoke, they’ve tried and failed - remember Mario Cuomo’s national show back in 95-96? ---

> [@](#): > > Instead, they need to produce a radio host of their own, who can do battle on the same terms (minus the outright slander that mars Limbaugh’s show). Minus the outright slander? Then it really wouldn’t be on the same terms, would it? [insert smiley face.] ---

**spoke-** , I apologize for quoting your post in GD in the OP. It wasn’t necessary to do so. I could’ve asked my question outright. I meant no misrepresentation at all. ---

How can you take anyone seriously who claims: that feminists are women so ugly they can’t get dates, the ValuJet crash was caused in part because the copilot was a women, Al Gore wants to destroy the country, Vince Foster was murdered in a building owned by H. Clinton, Scandinavia is a worthless socialist society, who plays the song Cherokee People and has sound affects of gun fire, that poor people are just jealous of the success of the rich, that he is a role model for the youth of America (three marriages, no children) that corporations only give money to politicians to be left alone not to buy influence, Liberals hate America, agreed with Robertson/Falwell that liberals, gays, feminists were partly responsible for 911. ---

A couple of years ago I heard Limbaugh say he didn’t think that the book of Revelation should be in the Christian bible. I’ve always wondered why no one gave him any grief about that. ---

He’s entertaining. Makes one think and maybe do some more research on a subject. Most the time I use him as white noise when I’m reading or driving.:o [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-takes-rush-limbaugh-seriously/143642.md?page=2)
