Rush is having a meltdown

This afternoon he went off on his listeners for abandoning conservative candidates saying they are dismissing them as 'unelectable' from media propaganda and aligning themselves with Romney or Ron Paul. Rush was huffing and puffing, often interrupting himself and losing his train of thought. He was very melty.

He has a point. People are letting the media pick their candidate. I forget who it was (MSNBC I think) but Fox News was called out for abusing their influence on voters last week and pushing their own candidates while trashing the others. Fox has been melty over it (especially O'liely) and trying to deny it but it's very true.
While there is plenty of blame to go around when it comes to media manipulation, it still comes down to the majority of people letting the media influence them and not doing any homework of their own. Sad state of affairs we're in today imo.

Was Rush pushing a particular candidate or asking for people to make up their own mind?
No irony at all if he wasn't pushing a particular candidate.

Saying "Don't vote for this candidate" is just as influencing as saying "Vote for this guy". I'm not quite sure who Rush is pulling for here, but I would have to guess Gingrich.

I was thinking it was more along the lines of why vote for these guys just because the media tells you to. If you have legitimate reasons for doing so - good for you...

Rush has his zealot disciples. If you are a circus tent traveling evangelist or a talk-radio schlock jock you will appeal to the great unwashed. They need their belief systems spoon fed to them.

Yeah, for some reason I don't see Rush giving out that kind of advice. "Think for yourselves, my dittoheads!" just isn't really on message for him. Since Corky mentioned Paul and Romney, I'm guessing that Rush's complaint was mostly directed at their supporters.

As I remember Rush did not say who he was for or against. Other than one that I did not really trust I did not see any hard core conservatives running. Rush needs to got off his high horse.
I'm willing to bend on the social issues, even if I do think they are important. The country does not live and die on social issues. When we go broke social issues will be the least of our problems.

12 million was the last number I heard. It is likely more or less by now. Little sound bytes like "people listen to him?" might make you feel wise but it is really head in the sand thinking. I have not listened to him in many years but you cannot mock his success.

Its best to not listen to political pundants because you soon start repeating what they said and you almost think the ideas and opinions are yours. Instead they are just placed there by the pundants and you are just parroting their thoughts

As is normal you guys have it backwards. When Rush started there was no conservatives on the air. Rush did not tell people what to think, he showed people that was someone who thought like they did. People listen to what they want to hear. They don't listen to be told what to think. Given that now most talk radio is conservative now liberals might be a much smaller group than was thought. You only thought you were a majority because the majority of the news was slanted liberal. That has changed. More and more people are getting the facts.
Liberals are still loud and most of the main stream news and Hollywood is liberal. The colleges are liberal and do their best to suppress conservative ideas; with force if they can get away with it. They do their level best to keep conservatives out so only time will tell if they can change. The liberal leadership (the evil ones) are not stupid. They know how to play people. They understand how to rally the mob.
Sadly liberals will always believe that conservatives don't think and that liberals are very deep in thinkers. It is a lie that only a liberal could believe. Don't worry. The evil liberals will always be there to tell the stupid and ignorant what to think and say. Liberals sound good. Liberals do evil. When people see the results they learn. That is why liberals are mostly the young and ignorant. As people learn they become conservatives; unless they are stupid that is. Ignorance can be cured. Stupid is forever. You will always see liberals trying to shut down and shout down conservatives. They understand that in a fair debate they will lose every time.

Truely ignorant statement. Rush was able to get on the air because the FCC finally figured out that people had more than two choices on what station to listen to, and dropped the reg that kept him off the air. Under the old rules Rush would have be be followed by three hours of liberal rants. The stations could not afford to have three hours where no one wanted to listen.
