You know, I've never bought into the "he's an entertainer" line. Considering the people who take every word he says as simon-pure gospel *and* considering whenever he passes gas, he's got conservative pundits, GOP officials, and elected Republicans ready to go on the air and agree that "yes, yes it does smell like lilacs".
Limbaugh - like Coulter - may not mean the stuff that falls out of their mouths, but they also know that other people are quite willing to accept it as the truth.
And yes, I've listened to him in the past. Which has been usually enough for me to want to put my fist though the radio. Friend of mine tried to get me to listen to him when I was a Libertarian figuring it would drive me over to being a Conservative. I suspect it's the reason I went the other way into being a Moderate instead.
Besides which, freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are two of my touchstone issues, and I'd be just as pissed at ANYONE anywhere on the political spectrum who publically suggested taking those rights away from any group they might disagree with. Funny thing that :-)
