I'm no RARRR LEFT WING REPUBLIKKKANS ARE DUMM Liberal by any stretch of the imagination, but Rush Limbaugh's popularity is based on his ability to rile people up with baseless claims, then engage in one-sided debate, where he can't lose. I guarantee you he doesn't believe in half the sh** he spouts off. The sad part about it, however, is the fact that millions believe everything he says without question.
I would be willing to bet he does, his ego is that big.
The only thing about limbaugh and his popularity is this.

The job of the caller is to make the host look good
It's nothing more than social enginerring. The people who could refute his claims never make it on air becasue they wouldn't make him "look good"
He has to thank his call screener for that. He claims that he takes liberal callers and puts them to the top of the queue, but what he dosen't say is that he takes the liberal callers who are most likely to loose their cool and espout fallacies or cliched arguments when put under pressure. Limbaugh, with 21 years of talk radio experience, can simply knock them down like shooting cans on a fence.
And the caller has suceeded in making him look good.
BTW - Mr Limbaugh, If you ever happen to read this, Aspergers and ADHD do exist. There is tangible evidence to prove so, and if you choose to ignore that evidence and live in ignorance the rest of your life, that's your choice...
