Do we need a Limbaugh

NBC had an interview with Rush Limbaugh last week. I did not see most of it as the fact they give air time to this individual is a blemish for the communicative ability of television. But on further review, I can see why he was interviewed. There is no doubt that he is entertaining ENTERTAINING a fact that is missed by most listeners. There is really no basis in fact for the foolishness he extols on the radio. He himself admits the bombastic nature of his work, yet millions tune into listen to this propaganda. His arrogance is so vast that he openly bragged about having the muscle to charge more money in his markets for advertising space on the stations he is broadcast on. This is not the point I am glad that he has the ability to fool persons into outrageous expenditures, wish it were me. However the point isn't with this finance comes the ability to control agendas, like buying a football team.
Last week Limbaugh was part of a consortium bidding on the Saint Louis Rams (Los Angeles Rams for those of you who would remember). As expected there was a cry of negativity that one would think the old time racist had come back from the dead to cause mayhem. Reverend Sharp ton, Jesse Jackson and others spoke of the need to keep a Limbaugh from the owners box. And as of this writing they have done so. Limbaugh was dropped from the group who might have a chance that they did not have with Limbaugh.
In the grand scheme of things this is not important to the good of the NFL who constantly exploits those who play, coach, manage or referee. What is interesting is that there is such an outcry especially from persons who believe as Limbaugh does. Remember these owners are not that liberal if they were then they would fight the Commissioner on policies such as dog fighting (do not get twisted I am not pro this barbaric conflict) as this is a past time of the rural south for many years. The reason I bring up this sad tale is that Michael Vick took the weight for a lot of people sins that still participate in dog fights.
Which is why we need Limbaugh. For all the bluster and attacks, persons have endured this is a man that really makes no difference in the country. He has a following of knuckle draggers who have issues. There are those who have sense: to exploit the aforementioned group of persons that believe that all we need to do is get rid of Obama and the "liberals" and all will be well. The issue for me is that I like Limbaugh!!! With all his stuff, loudness rudeness, and scare tactics, I like him. Because he reminds me of how far we have come but we still have far to go to rid ourselves our country and our Nationall. Later
