I love Rush...I have been a fan of his since he started on the radio...he is funny and tells the truth. My dad would love him too. My dad would not take a dime that he did not earn, and that what Rush teaches. The government thinks we cannot tie our shoes without a government program. We are not a minority, we are part of this great nation and we need to teach our children and grandchildren that in this country we can be whatever we choose to be....with hard work and education...and I don't see anyone standing in our way except us.

Drug Rush is a demagogue, a bigot and xenophobe. Unfortunately he has a a large following among right wing Americans. I've been at gatherings where some of his self-proclaimed followers have spewed venom against latino immigrants.
What is sad, though, is that he is supported by those latino Republicans you quote in the article. It reminds me of the Nazi prisoners who played classical music as their brethren were herded into the ovens. SHAME!

As a conservative hispanic, while I believe Limbaugh serves the purpose of being a mouthpiece for the many (especially in business) who are disenfranchised with the "tax and tax again' mentality of the Obama administration, he IS NOT the national spokesman for the GOP. Any portrayal of such is a mere swipe by Emmanuel and other divisionists in BHO's cabinet to divide and conquer. Rush is an entertainer with a bully pulpit. Let's admit that. But he is no more the leader of the GOP and does not speak as the unified voice no more than Michael Moore would be identified as the unifying voice of the progressive/liberal movement during his critique of the Bush administration. Freedom of speech is great. Let's accurately identify who these freedom speakers represent.

I don't think he is helping with Hispanic voters. His vitriolic, over the top, sometimes incendiary, and downright racist (“shoeshine guy” comment about Villaraigosa) comments may attract the white, southern male, but it is not what Hispanics want to hear. From my personal point of view, he would be more successful in attracting me if he were to more clearly explain how Obama is taking this country in the wrong direction (and no, it is not obvious, since comments about socialism, high taxes for all, and attack on American values are too generic and too convenient…spell out the specific facts and then we can have a rational discussion).

Many, many, many Hispanics received legal residency under Ronald Reagan. thank you Republicans. (That was a huge Republican mistake) Many Hispanics believed Bush's promises of legal amnesty for many and stupidly voted for Bush. Bush made promises he could not fulfull- angering Hispanics. Truthfully, Hispanics will vote for anyone and even for "El Caballo" if they are promised a green card. Republican or Democrat. Now comes Rush Limbaugh. Yes I do agree with those who say he is too far right. I believe the encylopedia's definition of the Nazi party is the far conservative right. Rush Limbaugh is the new leader of the American Nazi party not the US Republican party. His extreme far-right conservatism smaks of nazism and will destroy this nation. God help us all.

I could say watchout for Limbaugh, but that would call attention to him. The man has no leash so no one really wants to take him for a walk, for sure, you will need a plastic glove and container. On the air, he rants and raves without thinking. He makes remarks that Hispanics wonder, who is this loco? As I said before, he has no leash, so be careful Republican Party and Hispanics. I want to believe Michael Steele, comes on like a caring person, too bad he has to belong to a party. I am not a Republican, am registered Democrat, but can't really credit either party for really providing concrete opportunities for Hispanic veterans (I am a Korean Vet) but hope that this time Republicans and Democrats who are black or Hispanics come together and fight to have real affirmative action.

Critial thinking Latinos know that this is a political ruse by the Democratic leadership, to
try and demonize Republicans. They must divert attention from what they are doing which is to remake America into a Socialist Country. Why -- Because they know what we need. They believe regular Americans are too stupid to fend for themselves and that we need to be taken care of. And ONLY Democrats have the answers
Rush is Right -- I also hope Obama's Socialist Policies fail.

Rush Lilmbaugh certainly clarifies the issues regardless of what side you are on. I just started listening to him. I think the current party leadership's missionl is to take over the Hispanic electorate like they have the African American electorate through the process of entitlement bribery with funds from contributing people who pay taxes. The immigrant portion of the Hispanic people are the hardest working people on the planet with families values comparable to no one. Moderate democrats need to retake the party back to maintain our dignity and to keep our country strong through love of it not dependency. We need to stay focused on the fact that capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth while socialism is the equal distribution of poverty.

First off Rush Limbaugh may be too strong in his comments
about hispanics.
Hispanics usually rely on unemployment because of thier seasonal jobs and also welfare so they will move in a direction that enables them more of the same.
OBAMA cateres to the welfare system although millions of Americans have been living off of welfare for generations and is a way of life to them just check the stats.
Anyway it really makes no difference because I think that elections are bought no matter who voted the whole system is corrupt to the core!
What we really need is a whole new goverment I don't trust anyof them at all
all they want are votes to keep themselves in a job.
They all seem like godless creatures from the depths of hell to me!

Rush is a help because he is willing to oppose methods that are alien to what grew the United States to the greatest nation in the world. The Democratic mantra of "hope" and "change" is valid only to the extent they assist individuals in creating personal wealth and permit the expansion of the economic system. All are entitled to opportunity, but this does not include the giving from one to another beyond the wishes of the individual.Otherwise it consists of legalilized theft through a government program.

After reading the comments made "Elemjn11", I was saddened by this persons obvious lack of education. I will over look his/her grammar and spelling, that may be due to the lack of the language skills: no what I am upset about is the fact that Rush's comments were a reason for "Elem Jm11" to want him thrown into jail...Where did he get his education? In Cuba or Venezuela??
Have we come this far that no one is able express his or her opinions anymore?
"Elemjm11", you are the reason Rush said what her said. We are heading down a very dangerous path in this country because of the policies Obama has been enacting. He is a card carrying Marxist and I also hope and, yes, pray that his policies fail as well.

The DEMS are using the Hispanic community for the selfish good of their party.
They don't care anything about Hispanic people.
Listen to Rush CPAC speech on you tube.
He is against ILLEGALS, we love LEgal immigration!!
He wants us all to be acheivers, not slackers who live off the govt.
Don't we all want our kids to be the best they can be??? WE DON'T NEED THE GOVT> to live our lives!!!
We can do it with hard work- which is one of the best things about HISPANICS!! WE LOVE your work ethic.
YOU are hard workers- we white people wish our kids had your work ethic- it is amazing!!
That is the basis off RUSH's message-
WORK HARD AND YOU CAN BE WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO BE!!!
DEMS message is- LET US TAKE CARE OF YOU- BECAUSE YOU CAN"T DO ANYTHING!!

I'm a conservative Hispanic and I think Rush Limbaugh is the voice of concerned Americans that believe that the Obama administration is taking the country in the wrong direction. I used to claim affiliation to the Democratic party until I realized that their agenda is in conflict with my personal values and beliefs. I have been listening to Mr. Limbaugh for about 3 years. He is one of the most objective talk-show hosts that conects with the real issues of this country. And no, he is not racist. If hispanics have any objections with him, I recommend them to listen to him for a few days. I guarantee that you will learn something about the politics and the true nature of government.

He's helping I think to mobilize people to understand just how dangerous this administration is to the future of this country. So yep. Glad we have him.
