4 out of 5 starsA cut above the normal I hate Limbaugh book, 2007-12-10
This book is a cut above the usual I hate Rush Limbaugh book. It includes some useful analysis as well as merely pointing out what a jackass Limbaugh is.

2 out of 5 starsAn Assault On The Reader , 2005-06-11
I am not a big fan of Rush Limbaugh, I would even admit to somewhat disliking the man. I also tend to fall to more of the moderate side of the political isle. So you would think that I would have really liked this book, unfortunately for me I did not. I am all for going after the many misstatements that Rush makes and his very far right wing view of the world. I would have even enjoyed a bit of grief given to the conservative section of the Republican party, but this book went way beyond what I wanted to read. The author started out taking on the items are mentioned above, it was just that the author used this as a starting point. He went after everything to the right of full blown socialism.

As I read I kept thinking what in the world is this guy thinking. He has an issue with about everything that is remotely associated with the Republican party. He was mad at business owners having the ability to move their businesses around the U.S., he does not like any kind of anti union activity and he is aghast that anyone might be opposed to government control of all aspects of the community. Overall the author takes the opportunity of this book to beat up on everything slightly red. The venom kept increasing through the book to the point that you feel like the author is standing up in front of you yelling.

Overall the book was far too negative for me. The author has a huge chip on his shoulder and he is going to let the world know about it. I was looking for a funny and campy book that took as many shots at Rush about his politics as it did about his waistline. If you are a hard core hater of all things Republican then you will probably enjoy the book. If you are looking for anything a bit less over the top then keep looking.

1 out of 5 starsPathetic, 2003-11-23
I'm not surprised that many of the reviewers here gave the books such high marks. Their reviews, much like the book, are littered with misspellings and other inaccuracies. Perhaps we can blame this on the evil Conservative Right-Wing establishment known as our education system....oh, wait....it's largely Liberal? Holy cow. Oh, sorry, a religious reference. Shame on me!

5 out of 5 starsThe Great Con...period!, 2003-11-08
I thought this was a pure expose book on the great limbaugh but after reading it, it was more like finishing a course on Socialism, Political History and Economics.
This book does a great job in explaining in a non-condecending, patient manner on how this whole country will eventually turn into Spartanburg... anti-worker, anti-community, anti-union and seeping with greed. And we have rush and the right to thank for.
I do listen to rush, just to see if he is intelligent and credible. I didn't see any believable credibility there, but there's a lot of hate and disdain. Hate for anyone who's isn't as sophisticated, who didn't have a formal education, who don't belong to the right, social, ethnic and economical strata and mostly disdain for humans who labor with their hands and backs.That's why it is so important for working people to read this book, because it reiterates something that is so true "Labor creates all wealth for all people to share." Workers are the essential equation in a Democratically successful society. Workers are not to be hated and disdained, after all, Mr. Patrick J. Hurley, isn't that what God and religion is suppose to be about, love, sharing and brotherhood?

Ofcourse this book has much, much details and really delves into a lot of statistics but it doesn't make you feel bogged down. Kelly's writing style is easy to comprehend, even when he gets technical. He can also be sarcastic and funny at times. I really appreciate this book as a working, tax paying person.
