Breaking On FR! Rush's Audience "The Most Knowledgable"
Oh brother!! You know it's true, because they got it from rushlimbaugh.com.

They rate "hire" in education too as you can see every day on FR, LOL!

4. Yep, it's true.
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 12:31 PM by Bluzmann57
But what they are most knowledgeable about is unknown. Certainly not spelling and grammar.
edited for hasty and therefore lousy typing. See freeps, I admit a mistake. But I corrected it.

6. This runs almost exactly opposite of the U Maryland study done in 2004
I think it was.

5. WOW three really tough questions there huh?
The three questions asked respondents which party has a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives (Republicans); the name of the current U.S. Secretary of State (Condoleezza Rice); the name of the current president of Russia (Vladimir Putin). See Section VI, "Other Findings," for further analysis of the public's knowledge of these items.

8. This is the kind of crap that allowed that a$$hole to become an
anal blister on the world.

Back when he was starting out, you kept hearing how he was "The MOST LISTENED TO MAN ON RADIO". I guess if you had the reich-wing bankrolling you and propping you onto 600 radio stations, you could make the same claim.

That's how it started (our fast decline into "wing-nuttery"). It was a self fulfilling prophecy. Suddenly, 20M people wanted to "be part of the team". Get onboard, you know, EVERYONE is listening to this guy.

Funny, within 4 posts you get this: (bolding is mine)

"I feel smart and knowledgeable all of a sudden.

Rush is one of the few I will listen too. The show has an excellent format. Another great show for the learned people is Hume's show on the FNC. Of course this db is still the best for getting news, linking to news and analysis of the news."

14. It's BS
First clue that it's BS? It's posted on rushlimbaugh.com
Second clue that it's BS? The three questions asked could be answered correctly by a 3RD grader who watched the news occasionally.
Third clue that it's BS? Tying college graduation to intelligence. I

If graduating from college made you smart, then my brother wouldn't be driving a beer delivery truck (or maybe he is smart ;o) )

16. Exactly
I was wondering why on earth they would mention college education and now I see why. That doesn't mean anything in terms of intelligence.

11. When confronted with proof that his remarks are inaccurate,
Rush resorts to the 'Hey, I'm just a comedian' defense.

Guess his bots never noticed that. Odd, seems as how they are the most knowledgeable and all.

:evilgrin:

12. *SIGH!* "Grandpa" Al Lewis used to say that HIS radio audience
was "the most well-informed". I miss him so much.

17. Funny since his listeners all think exactly alike...
And it's also funny that readers of the Weekly Standard ranked as most knowledgeable, if you consider that readers of the Weekly Standard are also the biggest pains in the ass to argue with.
