Limbaugh has a fear of his own. If people see him purely as an "entertainer," as Steele suggested, he will be exposed for what he is: a clown with a very large audience.
Behold:
The sweaty, swollen man in the black, half-buttoned shirt who ranted for nearly 90 minutes Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He reiterated his desire to see the president of his country fail. He misstated the Constitution's intent while accusing President Obama of "bastardizing" the document. He made fun of one man's service in Vietnam, to laughter.
David Letterman compared him to an Eastern European gangster. But he looked more like a bouncer at a strip club who spent all his tips on one bad outfit. And for the Republican Party, Limbaugh has become very much a vice.

Anyone old enough to have experienced the Vietnam War from the perspective of the divisions in the United States, knows that the lack of respect given the service men and women during that time is no joke and the doing so now exemplifies this mans cruelty.

As a former Nato-soldier I fully support that statement!
He really is - a clown..

I don't see an opinion flag. Is that a glitch in the system? This piece is another opinion.

No it's not my opinion. It's quoted directly from the original article.

Then the article is an opinion piece and not news. So, using someone else to shill for your opinion is still an opinion.
Also, the policy here is that you are supposed to write something yourself that goes along with the piece. One of the editors here warned someone last night that in the future pieces that are only a quote will not be allowed.

Sorry, quite new here, didn't realize that. I stand corrected!
