Rush is right! 6 weeks is all it takes!
He says you really have to give him 6 weeks before you 'get it'(referring to his show).
So I gave him the time, and NOW I'm a raging liberal. Thank you, Rush for helping me see how I differ from most of your listeners.
I realized that I dont want to be programmed with your one sided opinions. I want to look at all the information and make my own decisions.
It is so very obvious to me that you are no more than a mouth piece for a political party and you are not on the air mearly to present facts.
It is also apparent that you are, in reality, a far cry from the person you pretend to be on the air. You are a shady, shrewd, self-important drug user. No different from the kind of person that you say we should look down on.

I cant help but think this is analogous to the scene in 'The Wizard of Oz' where the characters face off with the wizard. Except instead of Toto, we have your maid pulling back the curtain and exposing the wizard for what he really is. A fraud.

1. How long???
How long did it take Patty Hearst to "get it"???

I guess if anybody with a weakened mind is subjected to propaganda for an extended period, they'll "get it" sooner or later.

11. Well, I listened to him daily for 18 months in the mid-90's ...
... and just couldn't figure out how anyone could take his crapola seriously. I must be really slow to not "get it" after a year and a half. :silly:

2. That's OK
There are enough liberals on DU alone who are so enthralled with his show, that he'll probably stay on the air after everyone else loses interest.

6. Why not?
First of all, it's nonsense that if all the liberals stopped listening to Rush Limbaugh (or reading the Wall Street Journal or watching Fox News) those outlets would suffer at all.

Secondly there are good reasons for some to partake of that media. It's good to know what the other side thinks so we can better counter it. THat might not be interesting to you, but it is interesting to me (not every Democrat has to be exactly the same, it's the Republicans who think that way).

7. Holy Crow, anybody listen to Pigboy today?
It's everybody's fault but Rush's. His slimy lawyer taught him well.

Sounds a lot different than the "humble" guy before he went into "rehab".

He's guilty, and should be sent up(state).

8. Does Rush Support "Privacy" for Other Junkies?
I doubt it...hypocrite! All this talk about Clinton "not inhaling" and he's been inhaling hillbilly heroin for years. What ever happened to the "personal responsibility" thing? When he gets caught it's like WAAAAH!!! Teacher!! Just like any other schoolyard bully, which is what he is...

12. Is that an official number?
I measn, does it say somewhere in Mein Kampf that a six-week exposure to propganda is enough to convert an unthinking automaton into Der Fuhrer's fold.

I mean, does Pigboy have an authoritative source for the effectiveness of Nazi-style propaganda or is he just making it up again?
