I have been listening to him regularly for years,
he is right 98.5 % of the time,
his principles are rock solid,
his analysis is searingly brilliant.
He is unquestionably sarcastic,
he's satirical and intentionally incindiery ,
Normally he will admit this.
I'm not sure why he would ever be defensive about it.
Attacking Steel and Gingrich for pointing out the obvious is ego based and reactionary, not substance based .
Rush would be better off admitting that he's satirical, and offensive, he has said himself, that he does this on purpose... I personally like it...and get it... it is an effective way to get points across.
Denying it is foolish, and a little bit embarrassing, especially when the entire nation is watching...opportunity missed.
