>>> Not young folks with brains. I seldom get a chance to listen to talk radio. When I do it is usually to Maddow or Rhodes or Schultz. But when I do listen to Limbaugh, I don't get the sense his callers are aged.

Not young folks with brains. Its old white guys from the 50s whose time has long since passed. Its an audience of inodes who will eventually shrink as the medium dies. Actually, 22% of Limbaugh's listeners are 18-34, 35% are 35-49, and 37% are 50+ So 57% of his audience is between 18 and 34 years of age. 67% male and 33% female 91% white 76% have no kids.... quantcast.com

Who listens to rt wing talk radio anyway? Not bloggers. Not young folks with brains. Its old white guys from the 50s whose time has long since passed. Its an audience of inodes who will eventually shrink as the medium dies. Sure you can find Hannity of Fox but ever there Fox will be required to compete for younger viewers and over time they will move to the center too because of demographics and the conservative/repub inablity to attract young folks in significant enough numbers. That's exactly right. However, its given them power and you don't want people like Rush gaining power. They become very dangerous. In fact, people like Rush and his followers are becoming more and more dangerous by the day. At what point does talk become treasonous.........when one prays that the president will fail, or when one talks about fighting in the streets? I don't know.
