What alt doesn't seem to understand is, Mr. Limbaugh frequently uses the comedic technique of sarcasm to get his point across. And many libs don't seem to understand that, either.

Alt, you don't understand the meaning of the word SARCASM. May of those quotes are taken out of context and distorted.

If Rush Limbaugh is in fact being sarcastic and really just a comedian then why does he have interviews on fox new? Why isnt he on Comedy Central? Why is it that people agree with him? Why isnt it that you are laughing at him if he is in fact joking? Why is it that people cheer when he miss quotes the preamble?

I get that. What you don't seem to get is that it isn't funny. And if it's offensive and intended to be funny, and it isn't, then you've gone too far.

"If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people--
I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely
no knowledge whatsoever to do--let the stupid and
unskilled Mexicans do that work," right? I mean seriously, how could I possibly not see the flawlessness of that statement? It's crazy, I know. I just can't help it.

3. Lots of exagerating.

That was epic sarcasm. If it's flawless why are people gunning down cops becausse those unskilled illegals are taking their jobs. Thats very flawless.

1. It's very funny if you know what your listening to.

Oh My GAWD! Rush just totally pulled off a derogatory stereotype on a minority! Isn't that HILARIOUS!!!??

I hate to say it, but if rush is in fact joking thats fine with me(I love offensive jokes . But this man isnt joking for Christ sake he is writing in The Wall Street Journal not The Onion. He appears on Fox News not the Colbert Report.

Quit making fun of daddy!!

If he was just some sort of flippant comedian nobody cares about, I wouldn't care.

I like how he got offended when the head of the Republican National Convention dismissed him as an entertainer.

Well, Rush does admit when he's wrong, and he sometimes is. But it's once in a great while...

And every show, he updates his status on how often he's right on predictions/commentary. As of a few days ago, it was about 98-99%(I'm not sure the exact figure).

No, it's not him, it's an independent data service.
