An American media phenomenon, Rush Limbaugh created a following that has made his radio show, TV show and books into incredible successes. But a large thorn in his side is Flush Rush--compiled from the newsletter of the same name--which cites numerous factual errors in his statements and dishes out barbs in Rush's own style. Illustrated.

Guaranteed to Piss off a Dittohead or Two,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flush Rush (Paperback)
If you love Rush, you'll hate this book for showing you what a lying dog he is. And if you think Rush is factually challenged, you'll find plenty of evidence to support your view. This book is likely to raise the ire of the faithful Rush followers. Because as with any criticism of a worldview founded on unchallenged propaganda, the proponents of said worldview become agitated as they find themselves unable to personally defend their beliefs. Rush is a leader -- a charismatic, energized fellow -- that draws disgruntled and dislocated people. In short, Rush has his very own cult, yet few acknowledge it as such. This book puts under cover what is readily available -- excerpts from Rush Limbaugh Show transcripts that demonstrate his uncanny ability to pawn off misrepresentations and falsehoods as "I'm not making this stuff up." It turns out that not only does Rush make this stuff up, but he does so with a vengeance -- always seeking to blacken the eye of those who disagree with him. But that's politics, right? Except that when Rush is taken to task for his propaganda, he says "it's just entertainment folks." Well, Rush, why don't you tell that to your followers who accept your every utterance as gospel truth? This book is short and to the point. It raises the awareness that Rush and his cult need to be watched closely, lest his followers become a danger to themselves or to society.

Just the facts...,
By Billy (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flush Rush (Paperback)
Flush Rush is a great attempt to chronicle Limbaugh's unbelievably poor record of telling the truth. The one setback is that there are so many twists of truths and blatant lies that one would need a book published daily to try to salvage some brain cells lost while listening to Limbaugh's garbage. I am happy that there are people who are trying to police this liar and attempt to stop the dumbing down of the minds of his listeners. Unfortunately, I feel that the hard-core "ditto-heads" will never even hear of this, as they are sheep led by their 12-3pm talk show god.

Sometimes the truth hurts,
By dwc77 (wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flush Rush (Paperback)
As evidence by the reviews, what most people think of this book depends on which side of the political spectrum they happen to be on. Whats most interesting is that people on the far right constantly talk about how liberals are liars and such, which sometimes is true, but they never want to talk about their own. When presented with the other side of the story (in this case the truth) they either dont want to hear it at all or simply deny reality, because often reality doesnt fit with "the way things ought to be". This book, although not nearly as funny or entertaining as "rush limbaugh is a big fat idiot", is more factual and still interesting if you have ever listened to his show. There is a good reason why he never has and never will have guests to debate the opposing view. Neither he or his listeners could stand it.
