You can't get much more extreme conservative than him!

You haven't heard much Michael Savage have you?

Some years ago, I used to listen to Limbaugh on a regular basis. I even bought and read one of his books.
His views are pretty mainstream conservative; not very radical at all, and not worthy of banning etc.

My objection to Limbaugh is that he is an intellectual lightweight. His views, at the time, were deliberately simplified to make them palatable to a lowest common denominator.

I recently saw him on TV speaking at a Republican party function and, oh dear, he has not improved. Where's Henry Kissinger when we need him?

Yes I have heard of and do listen to Savage once in a while.

I call him and Mark Levin "angry conservatives" Limbaugh has more control of his emotions. Thats why I like listening to him and Sean Hannity more than Savage.

And MR, you might be right Limbaugh is an "intellectual lightweight"
But what he says is right (that is "correct"

I never liked listening to Kissinger because he has such a strong accent,
I can barely understand him!

haha.

I have agreed with much of what Limbaugh had to say in the past, particularly on issues of government finance and personal responsibility.

I disagree with his somewhat disingenuous focus on partisan politics. He has a tendency to disagree with some politicians based on their personal characteristics and party affiliation rather than an intelligent discourse on policy.
Yes, I know many politicians do the same thing; I just find it distasteful, regardless of the source.

Occasionally, his criticism is amusing. I found his take on Ted Kennedy a few years ago to be hilarious.

Magicrat, I'm curious, if you consider Limbaugh an "intellectual lightweight",
Who, other than Kissinger, would you consider and intellectual "heavyweight"
on the right?

thanks, cl8
