NicoleC- You said,"2) The kind of "conservatives" who wouldn't spit on a cross or burn a flag, but will gladly slap a mouthy woman or put a {insert racial epithet here} in their place. This group seems to think listening to Rush is somewhere between listening to the news and listening to a prophet."

Are you serious? Do you really think 50% of Rush's audience is abusive to women or racist? Do you have ANY idea how offensive that is to me as a listener of Rush?

Is it because of ideology that you think that half of those of us who listen to a radio program are jerks of the first degree? I don't think that half the liberals out there are willing to take my children away from me and have them raised by the government. Why in the world would you think something equally preposterous about the people with whom I share an habit of listening to a radio show? There are a$%holes of EVERY political bent. I see no reason to apply that epithet to half of the millions of people who listen to Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis.
