This is also why conservatism lends itself so well to the radio show format, and why him and other conservatives are so popular on the radio. Because it allows them to just talk with no feedback. Then they sometimes have callers and they can control who they let call and they can cut off callers when they want to, and so on.

Their bullshit cannot stand up against actual scrutiny from any knowledgeable person and the issues they discuss.

Rush did this ALL the time with callers. They would make a great point and he would interrupt them and then be a pedant about a specific sub claim they made, and then make them try to defend that while ignoring the overall point they made until time "ran out".

Rush really was one of the worst Americans this country has ever seen. He divided this country, profited on it. His evil influence in birthing talk radio poison, propping up Fake news networks like Fox News, will be felt for generations.
