[edit] Conservative?
I think its misleading to call rush a conservative perhaps a ultra conservative or a neo conservative are better titles
- Neoconservative is not accurate and ultra conservative is hard to define. Conservative encompasses both of these anyway. –CWenger (^ • @) 04:23, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- What does it tell you when the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) chooses Rush Limbaugh as their keynote speaker? [1] . . . Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 23:50, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

- Well, that would work real well in offending half of the Wikipedia audience! And where is your proof? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 10:30, 8 January 2012 (UTC) . . . PS: Did you mean "I", or did you mean "It" ? . . . . . . . PS2: Use your energy and time in a more productive manner.

- Add it in. It was addressed by multiple mainstream news sources. --Wikiepdiax818 (talk) 04:48, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- We'll need coverage in independent reliable sources that say he "praised" them. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Edit request
[edit] Edit request
I think the older image which was used before was a lot clearer, I would like to propose to change it to this one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rush_Limbaugh.jpg
- The picture you mention is more appealing photographically, but it is a mugshot, and thus violates Wikipedia's policy of Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV) which is particularly important in Biographies of Living Persons (see WP:BOLP and WP:MUG). The photo choice is discussed in the thread above. Cheers. Overjive (talk) 04:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Other languages red links
Does anyone know why the links to other versions of the article are red links? I checked the Japanese Wikipedia, and the title is correct, without redirection. Also, I can see the language links in other articles (e.g., Template:Cite web and Victoria Azarenka), so it is unlikely to be my browser.—DocWatson42 (talk) 00:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Claims of Inaccuracy
How are blatant factual distortions from Limbaugh "claims" of inaccuracy? The section should be relabeled "Inaccuracy", to account for his inaccurate depictions of the Lord's Resistance Army, among other things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.10.138.72 (talk) 22:38, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment removed per WP:BLPTALK which says,
"The BLP policy also applies to user and user talk pages." " When seeking advice about whether to publish something about a living person, be careful not to post so much information on the talk page..." I've asked for input on the BLP Noticeboard. I request that we err on the side of BLP until they reply. Overjive (talk) 06:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- Saw this on BLPN. Comment restored per WP:TPO -- and the fact that there's no BLP violation here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 07:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- Overjive, please don't abuse WP:BLP to stiffle valid discussion on a talk page. IP-contributor: currently the content of that paragraph talks about "alleged" inaccuracies. If there is enough reason to change the text, then there would be reason to change the title. W\|/haledad (Talk to me) 14:24, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
