I'm sick of it. I really am. You will have to excuse my rant here but I've had enough. I'm tired of hearing anything that Rush Limbaugh has to say. And you know what? You should be too.
To understand what I'm talking about, you really need to understand this situation. Here we have Rush Limbaugh, who is pretty much a joke, known to be a drug addict, known to be a racist, known to be a sexist pig, doesn't have any decency as a human being to care about his fellow Americans, doesn't care about the poor, or really anybody else but his own fat bloated self, but yet people in this country by the millions are sitting by and listening to what he has to say. Doesn't that strike you as odd?
So when I see a headline on DKos that says The GOP Leader is just chasing a media fix I get angry. Why?
Because you are feeding into it. You all are. I am, you are, the media, everybody. Even President Obama mentioned him like his opinion should even matter. It doesn't. I don't think anyone gets that. The more we talk about him, the more he is in the spotlight, the more power is given to him. He didn't make himself the leader of the GOP, WE DID.
We didn't make him an ass, we just simply stopped and listened to his rantings. And for every single person who stops and listens, he gets more publicity, more ratings and more power. The only way to stop the beast, the "media whore" as we call it, is to stop talking about it.
It's so simple. Just. Stop.
Stop caring what Rush Limbaugh thinks. It doesn't matter.
Stop caring about what Rush Limbaugh says. It doesn't matter.
Stop caring about what Rush Limbaugh does. It. Doesn't. Matter.
Nobody should be caring about what Rush Limbaugh thinks except for his devoted followers. But that's the joke about the whole thing. How many of his listeners do you think really agree with him? I bet there are some that are just listening to his show so they can talk about how much of an ass he is. But while they are doing that, his ratings are going UP UP UP.
We need to stop treating Rush like he's important, because he's not. All we have done is create this horrible beast who is gaining more and more power every day we talk about him. Every time we make a diary, his name gets out there more and more.
He wants you to talk about him. He NEEDS you to talk about him. He doesn't care about being right, he just wants you to listen.
So I am asking the DKos to please stop, for the love of all that is holy, just stop talking about Rush Limbaugh.
And thanks for listening.
Update: Thanks for the responses and understanding since this is my first diary. I see that there are others posted who are more eloquent than I so I would like to add their diaries on the subject:
