Rush Limbaugh political gas-bag or comedian???

The comedy is the Republicans that listen to him, and believe what he is saying. Rush can't hear them to reply anyway, so that is gasbag too. It's all of the synthetic heroin he is on I suppose (Oxycontin).

Dave Chappelle!!! Chris Rock is too one sided, especially on his politics. Chappelle is able to poke fun at both sides of any issue or current event... it's the new comedy and it's more funny and enjoyable...

By my observation, Bill O'Reilly & his 'no-spin zone' show is obviously slanted to the left.  And Rush is just an undercover leftie trying to pretend to be a rightie!

It would be nice to think his idiocy was an act, but sadly I doubt it. He's certainly playing quite a joke on the American public, though.

I think he is a liberal making fun of conservative talk show hosts like the idiots on Fox news.

YES! YES! YES! Greatest source of political humor and cheap laughs at the expense of the fat politician. And i suggest watching his conservative counterpart Stephen Clobert (pronouced COAL bear) on the Colbert Report (pronounced RePORE). Samething.. but conservative

wow...such hatefulness on this question. Let's just celebrate the fact that we can argue this point without being worried about being killed for speaking out. I am independent...I am in the middle..used to be a tree huggin' hippie, but as I get older, I am getting a little bit more conservative. I am disillusioned by every politician I vote for. I think they are all crooks and liars!! Remember Ross Perot in the '90's? What ever happened to him? At least Saturday Night Live was good then!!

Comedians have been bashing politicians since there have been politicians. That's why the United States have freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Not just the freedoms to say what others want to hear, but the freedoms to speak from the head and from the heart.\n\nAnd now I choose to exercise my freedom: Bush is an idiot, this "war" is futile, and I miss the days when Clinton was getting something that our "president" couldn't handle. I would rejoice if I could get my glass back up to half full, kind of like ... oh yeah ... my GAS TANK !!!!

Oh, gee, let me count the reasons that I loathe this particular gasbag:\n\n1:   Got out of Vietnam by complaining of a 'sore anus!'  How classy.\n\n2:   Campaigned to put ronald reagun on Mt. Rushmore when he voted against the guy!\n\n3:   Was a failed liberal DJ who lived on welfare for 4 years!\n\n4:   Was an outspoken critic of drug rehab when he is in fact a druggy himself who has checked into rehab 3 times!\n\n5:   Attacks homosexuals daily despite the fact that he was arrested for soliciting homosexual prostitutes in 1971 in Pittsburg and is gay himself!\n\n6:   Has been married 4 times but never consumated his marriages, according to his 2nd and 3rd wives!\n\n7:   Lies to his listeners about all of the above!!\n\n8:   Attacks disabled people for fun.\n\n9:   Is a fat, disgusting, bald, queer, drug-addict, lazy asswipe who makes a living by lying.

War is no joke. Both of these guys should know better as professional politicians. Leave comedy to the professionals even they can't make people dying funny.

Just another example of a criminal activity by a conservative talk show host. Not a problem for the conservatives as they have come to expect it, after all they voted for a convicted coke snorting alcoholic. I guess when you are a republican if you don't expect much then that is what you get.

Why did he ruin his career? He was great on ESPN. Snappy quips about sports. Now he makes me think about all the 'celebrities' who spew their political hatred. \n\nWhy can't they - Just shut-up and sing?

No, I'm sorry, I hate these guys, too! After a few weeks of this crap, I'd not only take Dennis Miller back, but I'd even put Rush Limbaugh in!

Conservatives always show their mean streak! Listen to the blabbermouths on Fox "News" - it's nothing more than a flood of lies, half-truths, inaccuracies, and distortions.\nThen, listen to the Nazi-inspired propaganda of Rush Limbaugh who spews forth his daily garbagemouth of hated and bigotry.\nLimbaugh is nothing more than a Republican party mouthpiece spreading propaganda that brainwashes 'ditto heads' into believing the conservative agenda is the only 'right' way.\nIt's only a matter of time before Limbaugh's mean streak will convince his listeners that it's 'okay' to criticize, dehumanize, abuse, torture or even kill those who don't agree with the conservatives. That includes; homosexuals; street-corner drug addicts; poor people; the sick, homeless and hungry; those who work for minimum wage; liberals; environmentalists; the aged and disabled; and non-white, welfare recipients and all non-Christians.\nLimbaugh WILL, however, applaud those he prefers, as views as being part of the 'perfect' conservative race: pedophiles; prescription-drug abusers; war profiteers; wife beaters; white collar criminals; millionaires; members of the military-industrial complex; corporate welfare recipients; alcoholics; and white Christians.\n\nConservatives always have a mean streak, especially when you take away their power and their money.         -RKO-

Savage is a bit "edgy"... Hannity is good, an interviewer, and advocate of conservative values.... Limbaugh is the grand daddy of em all, he is a teacher, a proselytizer of conservatism. \nActually I like Glenn Beck best of all... his "fusion of entertainment and enlightenment" is a good balance. He tries to explain right and wrong rather than left and right or Republican and Democratic. He also is one of the few that "gets it" in regard to the Islamic Jihadist. He understands the danger that not only the US is in but the whole world is in from them.

in reality, he's pretty liberal.  the premise of his show is that he pretends to be ultra-conservative like the hosts of shows on fox news, but then acts like an idiot.  it's kind of reverse psychology, in a self-ironizing way.\nbasically, he makes fun of stupid people who do stupid things.  by some amazing coincidence, these people tend to be conservative.

Yes, people do take him seriously. People also take Faux News seriously as well as Rush Limbaugh. I just wish that Faux would at least add a laugh track to their news. It would make it easier to follow.
