Nope and nope.
But I do occasionally watch Hannity and Colmes.
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have both been very good for the Republican party. They manufacture outrages all year long in order to get blue-collar people to vote against their own interests.
Limbaugh and Hannity will always be successful because it is people's worst instinct to fear others. Blacks, who supposedly commit all the crimes. Latinos, who supposedly all came here illegally. Gays, who supposedly mock God and Muslims who are supposedly all terrorists.
The fact that Republicans are allowing corporations to ship jobs overseas and destroy entire communities in the "red" states are of no importance to the fans of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Only that the Republicans make promises to ban things and fight people who are scary to them.

In any form of media period. His show is more profitable than any other single media outlet. As of 2006, Arbitron ratings indicated that the Rush Limbaugh Show had a minimum weekly audience of 13.5 million listeners. There is nothing close to this in any form of media. |
I've noticed that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have huge ratings while liberal talk radio such as Air America is failing. I believe this is because conservatives can't think for themselves.

I wouldn't say that. I'd just say the democratic party is a lot more split up. There are a lot less pure Liberals in the democratic party then their are Neo-Cons in the republican party.
I mean you've got Union Democrats and Enviromentalist Democrats who are often at odds and only working together because the other party has their mutual enemy despite the fact that both groups kinda used to be Teddy Roosevelt Republicans. Then you've got the big buissness Democrats like the Clintons who just support different Big Buisnesses.
Also that a lot of Democrats are split on social issues, which are what get talked the most on talk radio. Plenty of democrats are just against gay marriage or affirmitive action.
Also for whatever reason Democrats love to get pissed off... democrats are much more likely to listen or watch conservative shows then vice versa.
Republicans are less interested in seeing democrats piss them off, and just want to hear why they are pissed off. While democrats want to see why they should be pissed off and tell other people why.

I am sorry but that is just a simplistic non-understanding view as to why Rush and Shawn are so successful. You obviously do not or have not listened to then for any length of time. There is no way that they would be as successful as they are because conservatives cannot think for themselves. The thing is, they do think for themselves and Rush and Shawn represent most of what we think.

This is just absolutely false and ridiculous and never stated by Rush or Shawn or by any conservative for that matter. Please give us a specific example of this ever happening.
