Rush, Rush, Rush

By Driftglass

(T)he breakdown of groups who are aware of (Rush) Limbaugh's existence is roughly as follows:

— Liberals, who already know what a toxic shitbag he is.

— Conservative Limbaugh fans, who are no longer capable of being affected by any facts that conflict with their idolatry.

— Mainstream media clowns, who will use Limbaugh's comments as a goad to get the black and and red ants fighting on-camera, but don't really give a shit about him past that:  after all, these are the same people who have let Newt Gingrich get away with verbal murder for decades and have never, ever called him on it on the air.

— Cringing Centrists, who deal with every critique of people like Rush by whining that "Both sides do it!" and stuffing their ears with old David Brooks columns.

— Finance and money people who, like German industrialists in the 1920s and 1930s, find Limbaugh's ability to motivate a crowd much more important than the fact that he is a hatemongering, racist thug.
