So you get to sit thru Beck, Rush, and Hannity??? My bad Lucrum, I did not know you suffered like that. No wonder you say some crazy shit
I just looked it up and as usual, you are a "little" bit off. It's actually about 3 million listeners a day, or 1% of the population. Oy vey.
I have, I don't now. Did you miss the part about him wearing an ear piece so I don't have to hear it? I sure hope you read your doctors orders better than you read here.
AM radio is dead man. There is too much competition now. Rush ruled the airwaves way back before Sirus and the like took over.
You live in Chicago, I live downstate. I would respectfully challenge that Mav. Now you want an intelligent discussion, we are both homies. Look at the election map, man. Chicago and Peoria carried Illinois. The rest of the state is red. Trust me, the children of the corn know, and love, Rush.
Well before you made him wear the earpiece, surely you had to endure that. That must have been hell, lol.
Let's look at the numbers. There are about 120 million conservatives in the country. Rush gets about 3 million a day. That means, less then 3% of people who are conservative listen to him. That's pretty small RCG. I would say he is a non event. Rush in a way is very much like Ron Paul in that both people have a "small" but loyal following. They bark a lot and are really loud, but there are not that many of them.
Again, you live in the city. Folks down here quote Rush everyday. I have to be fair and say that there are only a few superstations down here and they are all conservative, so some people have never even heard of msnbc. But, that is not the point. You also did not address that when Rush told his listener to phone Congress they did crash the system. And Rush did have such an impact on the 2008 election that the President had to address him as the head of the GOP. I would not exactly call that minor, Mav.
