1. Get the facts
When you make a call to some one like Rush you need the facts in front of you to make your argument. That caller should have had the tax facts in front of him and info on the stimulus also. Without the facts your argument is weak and Rush can filibuster and make you look unprepared. I give the guy a lot of credit for calling Rush but next time he should be better prepared.

3. Um, if you listened, he had the facts. Rush asked for more, but it's
as plain as the bill was when it was passed. Rush is just using a theatrical trick, and it sadly worked on you, as it does so many Rush listeners. They don't bother to do research, they don't bother to believe facts.

6. I think he means get more than all the facts. Get the facts where you think
Limbaugh will try and shoot the conversation. That is what he does best. This man was great but I would have loved if someone was there with him who could have googled the tax break stimulus information that Limbaugh was insisting was not there and provide a source that could have stopped that particular diversion by Limbaugh.

7. NO, you don't play games with cheaters. Simple as that.
When the dealer leads with an Ace, a joker never bests it.

8. People have pnwd Limbaugh and they will do it again. the more information
travels lighting fast across all the social outlet on the internet the less he is going to be able to pull his games. Remember he used to speak to an audience that got most of their news from local news stations. Unfortunately his followers are mostly fox freaks but that is also a good thing because if the regular folks that call him have all their ducks in a row BEFORE they call him they can throw him into a tailspin and we've heard it happen! His fake rants that he uses to try and distract an audience are and will become more and more obvious.

It's a task but one that is possible.

5. That never works.
I've listened to El Rushbo before. He never lets the presence of facts stand in the way of his bloviating.

9. Are you saying he is the King of the world? Because he is not and he can be gotten.
I've heard people do it and I gotten the links from this forum. The thing is he never acts like he's been gotten, he goes off in another direction and yells about some tiny piece of information that he picked up or made up.

But that does not mean that more and more people who call and do their homework are not getting through to the listening audience. And really it is his listening audience who need to be informed. He is just soaking in money the way he knows how.

Case in point, since the internet and also the outrageous cool of Obama more people describe themselves as Democrats than Republicans. I think Democrats got 43% and Republicans got 39%. I don't think this can just be a result of any one thing. It is also the result of the internet and how fast information gets around. The Democrats win when information is a factor.

2. Pointless
and frustrating to attempt to engage Limbaugh in a cogent, truthful conversation. I fought the urge to silence this vile man's crap, but I managed to listen to the entire clip. I'm left with the impression that Rush is falling short in his efforts to maintain the facade of believing his own outrageous, mendacious statements.

I remain completely disgusted that so many of the hoi polloi believe this man's vile fear-mongering and hate-mongering.

Who else thinks Rush could answer his own sarcastic 'closing' questions by looking in his mirror?

4. This is why Limpballs screens his calls. Anyone armed with facts blows him out of the water.
All Limpballs can resort to at that point is turn the caller's mike off and give the chair in his studio a good tongue-lashing.

Of course his dildohead listeners are too damned lazy or too damned stupid to Google any claims opposing Limpball's views of the world. They would rather just nod and call in and say "megadildos Rush!" all the time.

The fact that Reagan is held in such high esteem among Republicans when his policies were 180 degrees from what they claim to believe is proof that Rush's dildoheads are too stupid or lazy to think and research.
