It's kind of old, but I'm just seeing it for the first time....

(3,888 posts)How can anyone stand to listen to him for any length of time?
His whole argument is based on using a condescending tone to whomever he is "arguing" with and talking non-stop until he has exhausted his foe.
He says nothing but stokes many fears in his listening audience by playing the race card and the welfare fraud card as if ethnic minorities or the poor had the influence to force those with more power to do anything.
"The collapsed economy is the fault of the poor", "Women who want reproductive health covered by health care plans are promiscuous or sluts", etc.
Simple explanations for simple people.

(468 posts)The guy Rush is talking to, Mike Stark I assume, didn't do a very good job of making a point. He failed to provide evidence the one time Rush asked for it and he never followed through his points. He just said something and expected it to stand on its own. If I went into this conversation with no knowledge I wouldn't know what to think because both sides seemed to be pulling things out of their collective rear ends.

(3,888 posts)Mr Stark did not do a very effective job of defending his statement or position. He let Rush get away with many stupid and indefensible assertions but that did not mean Rush made a good argument.
It was wasted time.
