Limbaugh not so popular with Republicans
By John Amato Thursday Mar 05, 2009 6:44amVisit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
As Michael Steele continues to grovel to Rush Limbaugh, a new Gallup poll shows that only 60% of Republicans like Rush Limbaugh.
Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is viewed favorably by 60% of Republicans nationwide, while 23% have an unfavorable opinion of him. In sharp contrast, only 6% of Democrats view Limbaugh favorably, while 63% view him unfavorably.
With Republicans so afraid of Limbaugh's wrath, you would think his approval rating would be 90%. I guess outside of the "ditto heads" people identifying as Republicans don't think he's all that.

" 6% of Democrats view Limbaugh favorably." Can these morons tie their shoes, sign their name or speak in complete sentences? We know that they can neither read nor are capable of critical analysis. John Dewey and Jefferson among others would barf at this statistic.
Maybe the 'viewing him favorably' comes from the idea that he's really making a case for pretty much every political party EXCEPT the republicans? The more he blathers on and foams at the mouth about whatever it is he does (I have to turn the sound down, and then I'm still stuck cringing in disgust at his Jabba-ness), the better the people he's railing against come off. I absolutely LOATHE that pulsating, sweaty bag of flesh.
Limbaugh.
Because Limbaugh IS the King of the Republican Party.
He is the elephant in the Republican Party's room that Steele and others are having a problem acknowledging because all he does is spew venomous hate toward Democrats and Progressives.
Limbaugh is an embarrassment to the Republicans and Steele isn't man enough to tell Limbaugh to shut-up his treasonous mouth.
60% is really good, if this were a politician, they would be overjoyed with that number. Rush has an estimated audience number of around 20 million or so,all of them are not Republicans that listen.
As for as the fail issue,what's so difficult to understand? Rush has stated time and time again, if the Presidents policy is something he is fervently against, should he hope he succeeds? I must be missing something here. I too hope some of the Presidents policies fail because I am completely against a lot of the items he is proposing. What is the problem with an American citizen hoping for something if they are agaisnt that direction?
How many Democrats were against the war or fought Bush tooth and nail on many other policies they didn't want? Well, didn't they in essence want him to fail then? How many of you here wished Bush failed on many items? The MSM is highlighting sound bites with just the words "I hope he fails" instead of doing real journalism and stating the rest of the story.
... there is no equivalency between the Vulgar Pigboy consistently denigrating ANYTHING the Democrats do and rational, intelligent Americans understanding that it wasn't a case of WISHING that Bush would fail, but KNOWING that he would by dint of who he was (inept, corrupt, venal, stupid, incompetent, installed by the Supreme Court, etc. etc.).
Big difference. Bush was actively and brazenly destroying the country. Obama is trying to patch that country back together.
As for the "war," well, it was never thus: It was from the start an illegal and immoral invasion of a sovereign nation that had NOTHING to do with 9/11, a deliberate oil grab that was totally and completely predicated on a carefully built patchwork of lies.
As such, Bush and his cohorts are nothing more or less than war criminals.
Except your last one...
They are far more than mere war criminals...they are TREASONOUS, anti-American, fascist war criminals.
"... there is no equivalency between the Vulgar Pigboy consistently denigrating ANYTHING the Democrats do and rational, intelligent Americans understanding that it wasn't a case of WISHING that Bush would fail, but KNOWING that he would by dint of who he was (inept, corrupt, venal, stupid, incompetent, installed by the Supreme Court, etc. etc.)."
So, if I disagree with what Obama is doing, then in your mind, I am non-intelligent and non-rational? why must you put people in a group? Also, who are you to say intelligent Americans knew certain things? This cannot be proved in any form.
"Obama is trying to patch that country back together." So, what if I am one of the 60 million who did not vote for him and believe he is tearing this country further apart? Are you silently suggesting Rush and others need to just agree to everything he proposes and not speak out?
On the war, I humbly disagree, many more contracts have gone out to other countries for oilfield work than the US. If it was an oil grab as you say, we would have all of Iraq's oil, which is not the case.
60 million people might have voted for John McCain, but I hardly believe that 60 million think Obama is tearing the country apart.
... the recently released memos detailing the Bush Justice Department's plans for abrogating large parts of the Constitution? That we were THISCLOSE to having a full-blown dictatorship in the U.S.? That legal scholars are aghast at how Bush and Cheney and their ilk wanted an all-powerful unitary executive answerable to NO ONE?
Further Republican rule -- in the form of, say, the warmongering McCain and that abysmal moose hunter from the Klondike -- would have further damaged this country. You and others simply don't seem to understand just how bad Bush and Co. were (aside from the fact they were installed in 2000 and then stole the White House again in 2004). By any objective measure, they were traitors to their country.
Obama isn't perfect, but he certainly is the person we need at this critical juncture. Feel free to disagree all you want. America wanted a change last November, and we're getting it now. If you and other fascists don't like it, well, you're in the minority.
And people told me I was crazy for callin bush a fascist dictator!
I feel slightly vindicated...
"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it."
- President George W. Bush, July 26, 2001.
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
- President-elect George W. Bush, December 18, 2000.
"You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier."
- Texas Governor George W. Bush, July 1998.
he shore did like that word a whole helluva lot.
thread.
the freepers are frothing at the mouth over this.

by the media, you would think Rush was a pretty little white eight year old girl who has gone missing. Where's Nancy Grace?
That's what rash had for an in between snacks snack.

Unfortunately all those dittoheads are poo-flinging rabid flying monkeys and terrify all the other Republicans. I think of them as LimpBaal's Broen Shits.
Why all the monkey hate?
If nothing else they're poo-flinging, rabid-flying chimps (or apes).
but my grandfather once had a pet chimp named Whiskey.
But I believe it's called a rim job.

On second thought, I regret throwing out this raw flesh temptation to lNM who has been doing very well in his 11.9 step program on Ann.

astute observer of the Star Wars Trilogy than I.
Ty, I just looked it up and I was even more on target than I though. Its name was Salacious Crumb, how appropriate, eh?
Fact: Only someone devoid of self - a true misanthrope and self-hater could possibly relate to Limpballs.
His audience is rife with neo-nazis, white supremacists, and people who hate themselves more than they hate life find this retard relevant.
when one feels only self loathing.....
hating america, style over substance, they're the real racists, etc.
They are all to be scoffed at. No more entertaining their dumbass arguments. F*ck you, you're an idiot. Quit wasting my time. You were given the benefit of the doubt with a f*cking war!
What's with this self-loathing meme. A conservatove friend said that about me. I let her have it. She apologized, and admitted it was STUPID.
It's very lame, and meaningless: just another pre-prepared jingo.
as far as I can tell, the only vocal Republicans are rabid gay bashing Christian fundamentalists
taking a lesson from New Orlean's Saints Fans of old.
http://thecreoletomato.com/images/aints.jpg
I find that number very scary.
Umm...60 percent of Republicans is a LOT. It's the majority of self-identifying Republicans, and given how psycho, racist and sexist so many of Rush's opinions are, that is a pretty telling statistic for the state that our country is in.
How is 60% a low number? If that was a politicians approval rating he/she would have a pretty comfortable time as an incumbent. Am I missing something? Is this 60% looked at as low based on a relative percentage of people in the U.S. as a whole?
That's a lot higher than I had hoped.
This is a Gallup poll, so it seems legitimate. Very frightening that that many Republicans approve of him. Maybe the poll results can be construed to show that the GOP is the party of an endangered species: racist, gun-slinging, anti-progress misanthropes. No wonder they don't believe in Darwinism, because they are doomed.
The religious right is said to only represent 9% to 10% of the GOP but the Republican party fellates them like they're the majority. The same with Rush Limbaugh. He's a junkie and a pedophile yet the GOP leadership carries him around like Paris Hilton carries around one of her dogs.
Get rich quick, Ponzi scheme doofuses without a clue.
and the country's getting hip to the game.
That's why we all joke about snake-oil salesmen and Nigerian princes offering millions.
But they're going to keep running with the tired game and I love it.
No WAY is the religious right only 9 or 10% of the GOP. They are the GOP base. Evangelical or fundamentalist Christians make up between 25 and 33 percent of the American population *as a whole.* Over 50 percent of Americans don't believe in the theory of evolution, and about the same percentage believe in ghosts. Methinks you are imputing too much rationality to the GOP and the American public.
And there's our winner!
Thanks for playing.
is your NEW CAR!!!!
That it's 60% of the 28%rs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcuvjYxYJz0
Which would make that roughly 16-17% of the populus. In other words the lunatic fringe.
read the 15% solution?
http://www.amazon.com/15%25-Solution-Politica...
the reason it's 60 percent of repubs who favor this slimeball is because they listen to him every day. he deals with soundbytes. he breaks it down to the simplest terms possible with respect to his audience.
consequently to fight him like tactics must be employed.
it must be hammered again and again why did he go to south america. did he really go there to solicit children for sex. also, he has come out again and again against barack's economic package succeeding. it must be pointed out in short succinct sound bites what a fine american and patriot he is for rooting against this country to succeed. this blog has to employ these tactics against the most vile of the hate mongers. he is definitely part of the bush residue.
and now he wants a debate with the president of the united states. whoa rush, you're nothing but a poor talk show host who has the minds and hearts of the mindless of this country. to boost your ratings higher, you propose debating barack. that's laughable. you're a baffoon, the jester of the court.
than trying to emulate Rush and his ilk, would be to shine a light on them, so bright, That it would cause them to go scurrying back under rocks that they crawled out from under.
is who are these people? Are they so fond of this worthless fuck that they would be happy to let the rest of us know who they are? I would happily boycott the business of anyone that thinks he's worthwhile.
Also, I am fucking sick and tired of those pussies that call him an entertainer. Barry Manilow is an entertainer. Rush is a pompous, uneducated, rude tool and what he does is not entertainment, it's not even standup. It's the rantings of an evil, pathetic, soulless blob whose self-loathing oozes out of him in buckets. Honestly, he's someone that I can't even imagine trying to converse with, at this point, I'm sure he believes his shit and is incapable of even simple conversation. And, it's not that I want everyone to agree with me, that would be boring. I think it would be fun to talk to Pat Buchanan and hopefully have an intelligent discussion, I envision tubby to be incapable of doing that ever.
A mall recently started piping in his music all over the place to drive all the teenagers away.
Ha!!!
The thought of the GOPee sucking off Rushbo, makes my brain bleed.
Mmmmmmmm......... Slurp, swallow, repeat.
Toward the end of the Bush Era he scrambled to change policies that protect the nation's most at-risk animals and plants.
Now the Obama administration is undoing some of those changes. He vowed to "help restore the scientific process to its rightful place at the heart of the Endangered Species Act."
http://www.greenrightnow.com/kabc/2009/03/04/...
Jamie Rappaport Clark, executive vice president of Defenders of Wildlife and former director of Fish and Wildlife, cheered:
“President Obama waited less than six weeks after taking office to visit the Department of the Interior, declare his support for the goals of the Endangered Species Act, and begin to restore public trust in the Department that manages a fifth of our country's land. By contrast, former President Bush waited until the final six months of his presidency before visiting the Department of the Interior, after his administration spent years politically manipulating science and decision making at the Department.”
Out of the many disgusting farewell acts of Bush, one of the lowest is legislating against the Endangered Species Act. Apparently the Bush Co crooks enacted this crap before he left office to appease his good ol' boy buddies that could care less about our environment and only about their greed as usual. It is yet another example of how endless danger, harm and destruction are perfectly acceptable to the forces of unregulated greed. They have no ethics, principles or humanity. Public servants who only serve corporate interests are just as low. Fortunately, there are groups who continue to work against these kinds of outrages.
Very telling.
Wanton Boy found plenty of time to "clear brush," but not enough time to visit the Interior Department.
Oh, how I STILL and will FOREVER despise that smirking, strutting shithead!
but President Obama's favorable ratings are 60%...so is 60% of anything bad or good?
Bottom line, Rush is popular with a solid majority of Republicans.
This thread would make more sense if we knew which direction his popularity was trending.
I absolutely agree.
Look, I, as much or more than most, think that he's despicable (although no idiot). But let's be fair here. If Obama had those numbers he'd be called "wildly popular".
And definitely no idiot. In real rough numbers (150M registered voters x 1/3 Repub x 60% approval) he's got approvals from 30M plus. A force to be reconned with. Or, if you're the Dems, to be manipulated.

------------------
Even though you are admitting confusion, L&P, those are probably two of the more lucid statements you have ever made here.
I'm having trouble myself understanding what this blog post is trying to convey. At least in the context of the whole recent Limbaugh media silliness.
... it's still a majority of Republicans who approve of the scumbag, with less than a quarter of Republicans disapproving. That means more than three quarters of Republican voters would probably react negatively if elected Repubs condemned Limbaugh or his comments. So by refusing to take a position one way or the other they keep peace with their base.
As for the Democrats - or the majority of Americans - who disapprove, the Republicans couldn't care less.
Considering how inane, insulting, stupid, hypocritical and hateful he is, I'd consider 60% favorable a really high number.
That's what I thought too.
None of the 60% are old enough to remember Rush's TV show. His conservative audience was the most ridiculous part of that spectacle.
for his audience. I didn't know there were so many fat white boys in their twenties who could be herded giggling into such a small studio.
*rimshot*
post personally mortifying.

The same 60% that loved Palin...consider the source. BTW, Obama's approval rating is in the upper 90's amongst African Americans.
Applauding That We Once Despised
Bob Somerby has been documenting how we on the Democratic side have come to applaud that we once claimed to despise - unthinking stupidity in the Media. While my feeling on what Keith Olbermann has become (in essence an O'Reilly for the Left), Somerby discussed a few days ago one of the most outrageous pieces of offensive nonsense seen in some time from persons not named Rush or Bill O:...
.........
....And here's an important additional point I think, besides making Olbermann (and Limbaugh) a lot of money, is there a political point to this? Do we really think in these times, with the economic crisis we are facing, this is helping Democrats do anything? I do not think so.
Somewhat encouraging to see there are a few liberal bloggers with a conscience out there. And memories that go back further than last November.
Expect the backlash, though, TalkLeft. Hell is about to be unleashed on you.
Liberals pat themselves on the back for a game well-played. Fiddling as Rome burns.
and admit we also thought Gore was sort of a dork back in 2000, too.
Now to work. Explain to me why it is unfair to ask Republicans if they subscribe to Rush's philosophy? Why should anyone listen to appeals for bipartisanship by Ari when the Republicans have voted virtually as a block against the administration and have themselves rejected bipartisanship? Why is it evil to point out that the Republicans have painted themselves into an ideological corner. Haven't they spent the last thirty years trying to demonize liberals? We don't really have to do that do we? They've done it to themselves. Pointing out that the Emperor has no clothes (and is a bloated nutcase) is not wrong. A statement of fact can not be insolent.
Thanks, Peter G.
I'm not sure that what you describe is actually the game being played, and it is a game, to be sure.
The Politico article from yesterday, Rush Job: Inside Dems' Limbaugh plan, may shed some light on how this all came to be. Not that Rush didn't help it along; he did. But it appears to be fizzling out, which is why I's a bit surprised at this blog post today.
You can't tell a PUMA from a player without your program!
Armando and Somerby? Why not tell us what that great liberal thinker, Larry Johnson, has to say about it?
When Keith Olbermann starts attacking the head of the Democratic Party for bruising Olbermann's ego, you'd have an on-topic point, Dennis. But, again, you go off topic to get your shots in. Way off topic.
Ever hear of an open thread?
That article was almost all about Rush Limbaugh. How is that off-topic?
Thanks for your concern. I'd respond to your first statement if I knew what you were trying to get across, but if you meant Bush, I don't recall him ever responding to Olbermann's lunacy. That's why it's baffling he went along with Emmanuel, Begala's and Carville old Clinton-era tacticians' ploy.
Like Margie said at the end of Fargo, "And for what?...Well. I just don't understand it".
Look at your first comment (@7:44) in this sub-thread. That's what I'm replying to. It doesn't mention Limbaugh. The links? No Limbaugh, just a little PUMA chatter about Olbermann. Did you forget that you posted that?
Limbaugh was mentioned by name twice, but the whole narrative was centered around this very topic, the one going on about Limbaugh and how Dems and liberal blogs (Keith Olbermann is a liberal blog, but that I will save for another topic) are perpetuating this White House driven ploy concocted by two of the more sleazier pundits in their own right.
That you guys are keeping it going here on this blog thread is Somerby's and TalkLeft's point- you have become the enemy. That's not news to me, but it's worth mentioning here that a few liberals are looking at themselves and saying 'Hey wait a minute, that was me not too long ago'.
Very much on topic, Andy.
you do realize that, do you not?
...TalkLeft (and specifically in this case Armando, aka Big Tent Democrat) and Somerby (to a lesser extent) always considered us the enemy. You oughta brush up on the in-fights, dennis.
Armando, and his link to Somerby, are comparing apples to oranges. When was the last time Olbermann publicly lambasted Democratic Party officials, representatives and/or senators for bruising his ego, necessitating a public apology from those officials, reps and senators?
And more importantly, dennis, when was the last time Olbermann put any Democrat on the spot to have to agree that they want the president to fail?
Blimpo tried to hide his love for little boys too, but that didn't work very well. He's just a ignorant, Lard-Ass, with a huge mouth to suck on huge cigars etc.
I think the more important point of this story is how Steele and others continue to grovel at this pigs feet. Repugs need to at least stand up and tell their base that a failing President means a failing country. President Obama needs to quit trying to make nice with these pricks and continue to make the changes Americans elected him to do, with or out pig boys blessing. Rush might have 60% of the repiglicans support but Obama has 70% of Americas'.
Oh yes, he does believe his rantings just as most insane idiots do. But for the most part he is rebel rousing for an audience. The more people he can rile up the more publicity he gets the more his pay worth goes up. Just like Howard Sterns.
Why is Rush taken seriously at all? If Howard Stern challenged Obama to a debate, would it be news? Or, would it appropriately be looked upon as a publicity stunt for an "entertainer"? Why is this even garnering any serious attention on any media outlet outside of Comedy Central or E's Talk Soup? I don't get it.
is a poor excuse for a human being.
You all are wasting your time giving him more attention and publicity, distracting from the time we should be giving to important issues.
He, and many of the Republican Groupies are like two year-olds: when they're having a tantrum, Ignore them, and the behavior will stop.
As a republican: I can't stand Flush Limbaugh (I'm a Teddy Roosevelt republican...be rid of the corporates) and those that still listen to him are the lemmings. They don't study, they follow. They're red-necks who would kill in the name of Christ. They don't read their bible they get talked too, like mormons. They claim to believe in a devil (never seen it) but say Ronald666WilsonReagan "isn't" a man in "the name of the number six, three score and six"( A number God gave us to identify the devil). Thus, they don't really believe in the things they say they do. There's so much wrong with them they are scary. They don't like anybody. They drink too much in the closet. They accuse everyone for their errors. They just aren't right.....Oh...they use bankruptcy as a fiscal policy...(meaning they are MULTIPLE bankrupts.) This is the Flush fan-club. It's a sad commentary for these kinds of republicans. I know them too.

I seem to recall a recent poll that indicated only 40% or so of the nation identified themselves as "Republican".
If 60% of those Republicans support Limbaugh, that means 60% of the 40% which is 24% of the nation.
Bush's national approval rating never got below 28%.
The 4% difference could be just the usual margin of error in polling.
This is why Rush's support isn't really news since it is the EXACT same people that supported Bush... you know, the morons.
of folks self-identify as Pukes. Fewer than either Independents or Dims...
In the past we have tried smoke outs,gas outs,boycotts on sponsors all without much sucsess.I believe however,if we had a set day for a CABLE OUT perhaps the corporate media will get the picture and stop fighting us with their weapons of false information.
We need to show the corporate media that we do not appreciate the hatered falsehoods and debunked lies they continue spew that make victoms out of millions for their own monetary gain.
We should also demand ALL public servants against healthcare for Americans should GIVE THEIRS AND THEIR FAMILIES GOVT.HEALTHCARE UP!After all, it is wasteful government spending,socialism,communism,according to them!
If the Dems won't get more serious about these issues,we must!
Pick a date...any date...lets do this.
Just answer the question tard. just like a repug and give a comment to a question and not an answer. why dont you just get it over and suck off rush. what a asswhipe.
or he needs to spend a little money to get his glasses fitted properly...
Did he just say to Matt Lauer, "that's the nature of this job, baby."???
Is he trying to out-black Barack Obama or something? Certainly a welcome messenger for all those Dixiecrats turned McCain supporters we got to know during the campaign... they must be tearing their collective hairs out!

Steels never answered the question and kept repeating the rethug points about the end of the world.
What a joke!
Given the clear evidence of CIA agents in government alone, how can one not see that when polls don't match the perceived image, perhaps the image is being manufactured.
They would not leave talk radio uncovered and buy our 90% of said radio stations (Canada for example doesn't even have talk radio in most cities by contrast, since it's against the law to not counter balance it and call it news. Basically it's against the law to propagandize the population, but they manage to do it anyways...) it's too big a area.
You don't think that Ann Coulter really is that evil Or Bill O that crazy? No. They get told what to say and are sometimes ahead of talking points by days...
Feel free to call me batshit crazy.
...for those folks that support a "incindiary and ugly" talk host who happens to be a Jabba the hut slob, addicted to drug addict and all around pompous ass hole. But then, knowing the repugs I do, I'm not a bit surprised they support him I guess. After all, the same folks thought "the lipstick pig" was worthy of high office and running our nation into the depths of the toilet.
Another liberal (I guess, anyway) with a conscience. A little too pro-Hillary for me, but he's a bright guy and a good writer. He writes about stuff he's passionate about and subjects he has expertise in. be nice if all bloggers sticked to their knitting like he does.
I enjoy his blog.
Mr. Johnson is the same "liberal" who told that slanderous lie claiming Michelle Obama called some people "whitey". You've got good taste Dennis.
maybe you should spend alot more time there.

The ubiquitous Zombie who the GOP can't let rest...Reagan via Ed Rollins has something to say about Limbaugh's "debate" (it's now quantified as a debate?)
"The battle to be the "de facto leader" of this party is akin to the question of who wants to steer the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. Who represents the party or its values is not relevant when only 26 percent of voters have a positive impression of the party at all and only 7 percent very positive,...
....Republicans are not relevant. We just lost two back-to-back elections (2006 and 2008), and obviously, what we are selling, the voters aren't buying. In the midst of the most severe economic crisis in my lifetime, we have a president who is taking the country on a dramatic sea change. This is what he said he would do and he is doing it. And where are Republicans? Right now we don't have the alternative ideas, a message or, more important, the messenger.

May I suggest a new name for the Republican party? Rushublican. Use it anytime someone calls us the Democrat Party.
Talk about childish -- this insistence on the fascists' part of using a truncated and incorrect term for the oldest political party in the U.S.

If 60% of Christians viewed the devil favorably, I'm sure that the headline would read 'Holy crap: The devil is surprisingly popular with Christians'
Unfair comparison, I know, because the devil is thought to be sort of charming.
