I love it when I see wingnuts calling Rush Limbaugh an extremist. Obviously his goal tis to make as much money as possible. If he were an extremist only a small fraction of the people would listen to his show. Yet he is the king of talk radio. He is the best paid in a world where true extremists like Ed Shultz was recently fired. He caters to people who are frustrated by the failure of the self deluded formerly mainstream media to provide news reporting. Whether you believe he has 20, 30 or 40 million listeners weekly, he has a lot more than extremists in his audience. In fact as Fox News proves, an outlet can be so close to center as to be indistinguishable from it to attract the entire audience right of the leftmost 20% to 25%.

Now if you were capable of rational thought you would read this and realize that it is true and wonder just how close Limbaugh is to the center. But instead your emotional response will be to discard the idea without considering it.
