Running water on Mars?

More like tool to push the leftist agenda. Looks like the science superfan believes these is another nefarious plot by Obama's Muslim Outreach Department to push the leftist agenda. I'm just surprised he didn't say it would lead to Obama becoming dictator for life. I think it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the republican party, particularly the most conservative members, react to this. Limbaugh has a pretty strong following, and politicians being politicians will probably trip oer themselves to pander to those voters who believe Limbaugh and that this is some leftist agenda point.

I love Rush. He's great fun to listen to --so long as you don't believe a word.

Unfortunately an overwhelming majority of his listeners are not like you, and they believe every single thing he says as if it was said by God.

What's your basis for that claim?

I mean, if you had said that most listeners were very likely to believe many of the things he says, I could argue, but you've hyperboleed (verbing nouns ftw) that too far.

*sigh*. Rush is a sadness.

You ever listen to his show?

So you could argue it if I said that his listeners are very likely to believe what he says, but you can't argue that they believe every single thing he says as if it came from God? I would think it would be far easier to argue the latter.

I think you mean hilarious!

On topic, I was just listening to Rush and a caller had just started talking about the all the liberal plot water on Mars when the radio cut out for over a minute. Coincidence or vast left wing conspiracy? What don't they want me to know!?!

Well Rush would know. He's been on Mars for years now. He should do simulcasts with Art Bell.

Of course Rush knows, that's why the Left used their satellites (probably the same ones they used to put water on Mars) to stop him from saying it by interfering with the radio waves!

Yes, I listen about four times a week for periods of anywhere between 15 and 30 minutes.

No, I still disagree that Rush's listeners are anywhere near that monolithic in belief of him. There a core that are, but I'd put that at less than half of his listeners. That, in turn, is a small fraction of the crackpots on the world, and to be perfectly frank, Rush's brand of crazy isn't actually all that crazy, competitively, and I rather like knowing exactly where those people are.

I come by my assertions via anecdote, in that I know a bunch of people that have/do listen to Rush, but only a few that are diehards. In fact, the largest sample is people that used to listen to Rush and no longer do. Granted, it's anecdotal, but at least it's something other than bald assertion.
