People can generally tell when something is in good nature rather than genuinely mean spirited. Limbaugh makes a living, a very good living off of being an #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& a good part of the time.

He loves the fact that it's binging him more attention, hell, that's the entire point, to make money for himself and his sponsors.

Again, it says more about his fans than anything else...

Isn't it the liberal side that is fueling the attention and making him so much money by making such a big deal out of it?

Certainly those who operate outside of the mainstream benefit from opposition as it's a reinforcing effect among their base. But this is secondary to his talent, on loan from God.

If they have to complain about (and sometimes blow out of proportion) someone elses thoughts/words in order to have a reinforcing effect among their base..........then they have a base of weak minded people who clearly don't use there own thougts to form an opinion (that goes for both sides).

I mostly hear more negitive media coverage of the farthest right of the right wingers than I do on the farthest left of the left wingers......

I found this far more offensive...


Chinese pianist Lang Lang tickled the ivories with an anti-American ballad at last week’s State Dinner for President Hu Jintao, the White House responded Monday condemning the criticism and insisting the song, “My Motherland,” was no insult to the United States.

The song was written for the 1956 Chinese war film, “Battle on Shangganling Mountain” which depicts PRC soldiers as the heroes and Americans as the bad guys.

The original song portrays Americans as wolves (or jackals), greeted by “the hunting rifle.”

The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades.

The joke was not lost on Chinese internet writers who acclaimed Lang Lang’s choice of music. “It’s deeply meaningful to play this in the United States, but I don’t know if the Americans can understand? Ha ha,” Asia One news reports


no...Asia one, our elitists are incapable of recognizing when America is insulted and many probably recognized the tune as a childhood nursery song...
