Rush Limbaugh says the darndest things

[A Theist]

The big difference is that the Daily Show can make a joke and everyone will know it's a joke but it will still make a legitimate point.

Tara, I think most of Limbaugh's listeners would say the same thing, that Rush can make a joke and everyone will know it's a joke but it will still make a legitimate point.

If you find it to be true for the Daily Show then I think this is due more to whether you tend to agree with the Daily Show's political ideology and less that it's an objective truth. It's clearly a left-leaning show. Yes, they make some token jokes about the left, but they're usually pretty lifeless and it's obvious that their heart's not in it.

Limbaugh has been very effectively demonized by the left, but he is no farther to the right, or no more extreme than Chris Mathews or Rachel Maddow of MSNBC are extreme to the left. And in comparison, he doesn't purport to be delivering an unbiased news commentary show. They do.

For me, I like John Stewart and I take the Daily Show for what it is, a comedy show. But you do make a legitimate point that masked behind the comedy routine is a leftwing analysis. It's unfortunate that the Daily Show happens to be the only news source for a lot of young voters....and yet is probably far more unbiased than the leftist propaganda that's puked out by Chris Mathews and Rachel Maddow and other leftist MSLSD hacks.

On another point, is the hypocrisy and the double standards of the left. Much was made over Limbaugh's remarks about Sandra Fluke, calling for him to be fired and demanding that his sponsors pull their ads from his show.....but where was the left when leftist Ed Shultz called Laura Ingrham a 'rightwing talk slut'? Why didn't the left demand that Shultz be fired? Why didn't the left organize petition drives and threaten boycotts of Shcultz's sponsors like they did Rush's? (although Shultz got a token two week dismissal from air time.....but nothing in comparison to what happened to Rush). If the left is pronouncing themselves to be the standard bearers of womens causes, then why weren't they equally consistent with their condemnation when Ed Shultz verbally attacked Laura Ingrham?
