Don...you note you are not getting an argument for, or defense of, the Rush Limbaughs of the world......you are getting mere sidestepping and shrugging claims that 'it's just a matter of style or opinion'.....
   Supporters OF Rush can never offer any more than the loud mouthed mud slinger himself....and usually a lot less, as Rush can at least glibly spout that stuff in clever patterns.

You can't win an argument when the opponent has made all his conclusions in advance, but it IS nice to see some rational points in print.
