Rush Limbaugh's 400 million payday

apparently not BBB...someone has to want to listen to the mans blubbering or they wouldn't be paying him that much money. Makes you wonder who? Do Liberals listen just to get riled up? Or are there that many ditto-heads wanting to listen to his constant blustering...conservative as I am - don't want to hear it.

Here we go again with yet another idiotic thread. The man is a successful entertainer and charges accordingly. You can tell he's worth it, because someone is willing to pay it.

That you or I wouldn't waste a minute of our time listening to his hyper-partisan nonsense has nothing to do with it. WTF do Teacher's, etc. salaries have to do with an entertainer getting paid what the market will bear? Rolling Eyes

I see it as a case of fools and their money being parted. Personally, I have not watched or listened to the man since about three years after he began broadcastng, figuring the only way to hurt him is to deprive him of an audience.

OB, my point was the insanity of our money spending priorities. I think entertainers are obscenly overpaid as are many athletes. CEOs of big corporations are overpaid even when they are failures. The list goes on and on.

My priorities appear to be different than yours.

I figure he deserves every penny, the wing-nuts have 8 years ahead of trying to cope with obama as president and need all the support they can get, inane hatred doesn't come cheap. bomb bomb bomb iran.

It has probably been about as long for me, and I only listened then because someone else played his show at work. After 20 years of a successful program, however, I think those paying his check must be getting their money's worth, even if his audience is just getting dumber for listening to him. Professional Wrestling is very similar as I have no interest in watching, but know damn well the producers get plenty of bang for their bucks.

BBB you seem to think the persons responsible for raising bucks aren't entitled to a healthy share of them. Interesting perspective for an American, that.

Hey, BBB, I'm curious why you didn't express the same concerns about the "obscene" amounts of money the Clintons made in your post entitled The Clinton Tax Returns: What Will They Reveal?http://www.able2know.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=114564

Your curious question doesn't merit a response.

I listened because I thought I absolutely had to refute the bullshit. Finally, I realized that he feeds on people like that, as much as on the suckers.

I don't listen to Rush, never have, but I congratulate him on negotiating a great contract.

WE do not pay Slush Limbagh anything. Advertisers pay the bill.

Find out the advertisers and boycott them and stop your constant complaining! Evil or Very Mad

I listened to him one time when he first went on the air. I turn him off or change stations ever sense rather than listen to his b s. If I want a conserative point of view I listen to someone with intelligance. Pretty hard to find one though.

Low-browed people listen to Rush -- the type with perpetual drool running down their chins and "Support the Troops" bumper stickers.

Fock those people.

I have a "Support the Troops" bumper sticker and I don't drool or listen to Rush...well - I do drool sometimes...when I sleep too hard...but I am not aware of it...so that's not my fault. Right?

dadgummit...am I low-browed?

I want to know why any of you care what Rush is getting paid?

If you dont listen to him, then it doesnt concren you what he makes.
His advertisers and his network seem to think he is worth whatever they want to pay him.

Since I havent listened to him in 10 years, I have no idea what he is saying or how he is saying it.

But why are any of you criticizing him for living the American dream?

because someone posted a thread with his "payday" on it, You do not seem to get the concept too well. People are responding to BBB's topic.
If I posted a topic about how WWE is quality entertainment, Im sure Id get similar responses.
