In a nation where half of the people are functionally or completely illiterate Limbaugh is a powerful voice for nonsense. The poor drudgery jobs of the working poor, the lone person who cannot read, are subject to his bizarre view of America. I wish the fairness doctrine still existed so after Limbaugh got done spewing absurd non sequiturs someone will tell the audience some part of the real picture.
Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An exegesis
"At other times, Limbaugh has dabbled in wink-and-nudge racism: On his thankfully short-lived TV program, for instance, Limbaugh one night promised to show his audience footage of everyday life among welfare recipients. He then ran video of the antics of a variety of great apes -- mostly orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees -- hanging about zoos. The audience, of course, applauded and laughed."
