if the hate radio listeners have succesful high paying jobs with families, how they find time to listen to hate radio?

8. Wait a Minute! I'm an insecure white man!
And I fight those bastards with every fiber of my being. Dammit, I don't like being stereotyped, either! That's not how we fight the war against the most evil administration in history. I am 52, and have fought for justice (I hope, and believe) all my life. Cut it out! (Yes, I get cranky, too! See you in DC on Saturday!)

9. my aunt in AL
who is a Southern Baptist woman of society with a palacial estate on a huge piece of property. She actually introduced me to Rush, thinking I would enjoy him.

Listening to Rush is a status symbol of sorts for many in the South.

10. Yes my sweet little, perfectly coiffed, mother of three boys, go to
church every Sunday, and judge every one the rest of the week, ex-next door neighbor. How I relish the ex part of that.

18. Listeners, not callers
Edited on Wed Oct-22-03 06:08 PM by DCDemo
This is based on surveyed data, so take it for what it is - a pretty good description of the people who listen, not perfect!

17. Yes
Our auto mechanic, whom we've known for 25 years (we drive handmedown cars and trucks, so we see our mechanic often).

He is a wonderful man, absolutely honest, loves his work, owns his own shop in an out-of-the way location where every season is beautiful, works at his own pace, has more work than he knows what to do with. A quiet person, devoted to his family, much respected by everyone who deals with him. An admirable guy.

BUT ........ Rush, etc., blares out of the speakers in the garage, all day, every day. I will never understand.

Friend 2: Business Degree. Plays in band, has long hair, but is strictly establishment. Is socially fairly Liberal, but often cites Limbaugh. Less of a love of guns and nazis. More of a tax cutting right winger. White, Male, Married, no kids

Friend 3: Complete windbag. No college, barely made it out of high school. Works for US Govt (picks up towells in a gym). Does nothing but whines about Dems and loves Repukes. Social Conservative. Does hate big business (because he worked at Wal Mart). White, Male, Never had sex

20. Yeah, the "black avenger"
I used to listen to this guy on my commute home. I have always felt the best way to know your foe is to hear what he is saying. Why would I listen to a liberal talk show? I am the choir, I don't need preaching to! I want to hear what the other side of the fence is talking about.

21. I know many, because I live in Richmond, Va.
They come in all colors, creeds, shapes, and sizes. You never know when one is going to start quoting Rush, someone you never thought would go there. In the workplace, where I am most exposed to them, I just keep my mouth shut. :grr:
