Talk Radio Watch Title: Pigboy stands by his Haiti remarks, tells critical caller she’s a ‘bigot’ with ‘tampons in her ears.’ Yesterday, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh controversially said that President Obama was going to try to use the devastating Haitian earthquake to boost his credibility with the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community” in the United States. He also argued against government aid for the nation. Today, a woman named “April” from Paducah, KY called into Limbaugh’s show and asked where he got the “cojones” to make such statements. Limbaugh insisted that he never meant to discourage private donations to Haiti, but stood by his remarks that Obama will try to exploit the disaster for political gain: >> RUSH: No, I’m not evading it at all. If I said it I meant to say it, and I do believe that everything is political to this president. Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion. [...] >> CALLER: [A]re you implying that the Huffington Post as the one and only resource that I [read]? I even watch Fox News once in a while. >> RUSH: No, no, no, no, no. I’m not implying that. … What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a blockhead. What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a closed-minded bigot who is ill-informed. … And if you had listened to this program for a modicum of time you would know it. But instead you’re a blockhead. You’re mind is totally closed. You have tampons in your ears. Nothing is getting through other than the biased crap that you read.

#3. To: war (#2) What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a closed-minded bigot who is ill-informed. … Limbaugh has always had the most heavily screened show on radio. These people only get through because he wants them to, and only after he's been told exactly what they're going to say.

These people only get through because he wants them to, and only after he's been told exactly what they're going to say. Uh ... Uh ... Uh ... OMG, what an amazing revelation ... Do you REALLY think this is what happens? Wow ... thanks for letting us all know this. Do you think letting everyone know this will hurt Rush's ratings, his ratings are climbing. Wow, Rushh's ratings went up almost 100 percent between January and March … Rush first announced he hoped Obama failed. Given those numbers, it's clear that the most decisive economic stimulus produced by the Obama administration so far has been at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Replies to Comment # 11. OMG, what an amazing revelation ... It's not a revelation. It's the way he runs his show. That his audience eats it up shows that he knows them well.
#16. To: Tater (#11) Rushh's ratings went up almost 100 percent between January and March … He went from 14MM to 28MM listeners? Pfft...
