Rush Limbaugh - Are you a fan?

As a non-American, I'm curious on the responses also. From what I've heard of him, he is an original thinker, but he's a bit too crazy on conspiracies. Wasn't he the one that said Hurricane Irma was nothing more than a government conspiracy, and also the one who said Obama sends lesbian farmers across the USA to increase democrat votes?

 

I like him. But he can be rather repetitive. He has a very dry humor and makes a lot of jokes so some of that "crazy stuff" may be a joke. Also, those people who dislike him (every single leftist) often lie and take what he has said out of context. They absolutely hate him.
There are a lot of good American conservative radio hosts. One of my personal favorite is Dennis Prager. He has written several books as well. He is a very kind hearted and well thought out man, rather brilliant. You will see a lot of leftist lies about him as well if you google him. But simply listen to an hour of his show and the truth will prevail.
These are men the left would call "dividers" or "haters" though they have basic conservative values that would be quite typical in the 1980s. God Bless them.
Another great conservative source is "National Review". Here's a great sample : http://www.nationalreview.com/article/444736/george-orwell-1984-trump-not-what-he-had-mind

 

Rush Limbaugh spews nothing but misogyny and sexism. Another running theme of Limbaugh's broadcast career has been his hostility towards minorities. Someone needs to check this fool already.

 

The right hates Trump too, well a lot of them do.

 

Although I'm on the right, I've never been a fan of Rush Limbaugh. He seems to appeal more to the boomer crowd.

 

The closest you have to Rush Limbaugh in the UK is Paul Joseph Watson. He is a journalist for Infowars. I sometimes read his Twitter feed and he can be very amusing and thought provoking.

He is quite famous for triggering liberals with his phrase: "conservatism is the new counter-culture."

As for your comment on the BBC - I completely agree - at this point it would make little difference to BBC's output if it were taken over and run by ISIS.

 

No

 

BBC and other mainstream journalists regularly invite him for interviews. He rightly shows utter disdain towards them then tweets the email exchange.

Here's one example:

He considers them fake news and increasingly irrelevant. Old media is dying and new media is taking over. He is new media - why would he care about these dinosaurs? People who are interested in seeing past the liberal bias are finding him and people like him directly. He already has a huge platform and reach. We only have to consider how uniformly old media was against Trump - yet Trump still won - to see the degree to which old media has lost the trust and influence over the people.

 

Sorry - just thought of another couple of Brits who are vaguely similar to Limbaugh: Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins.

But you are right that the intellectual and cultural health of the UK is not in a good place right now. All manner of tolerance for diversity is rammed down the throats of Brits except the most important tolerance of all - tolerance for a diversity of opinion. I read somewhere that 4,000 Brits were arrested last year for their tweets or Facebook posts. What went wrong?

 

Rush is okay, but Michael Savage is much much better.

 

The USA is absolutely apeshit. President Trump makes liberals absolutely apoplectic in everything he does, it doesn't matter what it is. In my perspective, I was absolutely thrilled he won on election night and the shit eating grin on my face is there every day that he's in office. The obummer years sucked and I was angry every day, and now these dam liberals know just how I felt. lol !

 

Yes, they have 'conservative values' at the private individual level, but care nothing for the public good [as if there could be one without the other]. It is Protestant 'religion' run riot.
