Rush Limbaugh, whose criticisms of John McCain put him in danger of becoming irrelevant, could still have a way out: hate everybody.
That’s the only winning strategy for Rush, Ann, Laura, and all the other blathering conservative big mouths, according to industry experts.
Robert Mathias, managing director of Ogilvy PR’s Washington office, said conservative hosts need to begin adapting to the changes occurring in the Republican party or risk losing their audiences.
“Mr. McCain’s victory creates a little bit of a loss of standing, but it is not a sea change,” he said. “The party is not moving in lock step with conservatives, and if there is in fact a change occurring and if these guys don’t adjust they will lose some of their audience.”
[President of radio consulting firm Jacobs Media Fred] Jacobs said it’s now a win-win situation for the likes of Mr. Limbaugh and his conservative cohorts. Regardless of who now makes it to the White House, they will have an adversary they can complain about for four years.
“He is actually guaranteed some great material now,” Mr. Jacobs said.
Added [Talkers magazine publisher Michael] Harrison, “They can now be critical of both parties, which puts them in a much better position.”
There is probably a very large demographic out there that does, in fact, hate everybody. Some of them have begun leaving comments on Pensito Review. They are not Republicans, think John McCain is a dangerous hawk, and see Mike Huckabee as too flaky-Christian to be trusted with the Constitution.
At the same time, they don’t want a female president and they damn sure don’t want that particular female to be president, and they are only just now getting in touch with their racist side. As they do, they are finding it really matters to them that the president be a white male.
Rush rose to fame during the Newt Gingrich Contract With America years, when both he and Newt pursued the same winning strategy. They just watched which direction the crowd was already marching, then ran out in front and yelled, “Hey everybody, this way!” It’s worked for a long time and there’s no reason it would fail now. FOX News should get a clue: hating everybody is the best way to engage their audience.

At least give Rush credit for no longer being a bigot or a racist.
How could one be either, since they hate everybody?
Dear News busters,
I understand you know biblical scholars and amazing christian speakers.
I am currently putting together a small group of ministers to assist
me on a national news story.
An organization affiliated with Salem communications has recently
published an official press release which openly declares my biblical
discovery to the world.

This same sight can give you enough biblical evidence to investigate
the validity of my claim. I have recently published my new discovery
concerning a Bible prophecy about King Nebuchadnezzar’s repentance
process in Daniel chapter four. God blesses Nebuchadnezzar’s land
(Iraq) for future promises of freedom in the latter days with symbolic
eagle’s wings.
If I can locate several people representing different denominations who
can understand type and shadow prophecy then this effort can surely succeed.
I must be able to show a common continuity by such men as to the
validity of my discovery before I can return to my media sources with
a worthy news story. This requires a non denominational approach to
possibly succeed.
President Bush has an official fan sight on myspace. Each individual
submission into his sight must be examined and carefully qualified before
being posted publically on the Presidents sight. My video was approved
today and was posted where it can now officially be viewed on the
President Bush web sight.
The Iraq war will be of major interest during the election period so this is
rather timely and important. This may be a way for you and others to gain
national recognition by helping us unite christian denominations during a
critical election year for Americas future. If you are interested please
feel free to view the video or call concerning any questions. Looking
forward to hearing from you soon.

Wow, Paul, does the prophecy mention spam?
