- So you're saying that Rush is just a greedy liberal? If he is imitating
- conservatives, then he must not be a real conservative. I am a conservative
- that thinks for myself, and I love Rush! He is to me, a breath of fresh
- air. I am tired of being bombarded day in and day out by the extremely
- slanted liberal media trying to tell me what I think. Rush says that his
- show is only about one thing; what HE thinks. He just happens to think
- the way a lot of Americans think and that is part of the reason for his
- success. If you ask me, the media in general treats people as if they are
- stupid and don't know how to think for themselves. They treat me that
- way. It's part of Rush's satire when he says to stop worrying about any-
- thing and let him do everything and he'll tell us what to think about it.
- He is doing a parody of what the liberal media does to us.
