John K. Wilson

About this audiobook

This is a searing indictment of Rush Limbaugh’s bankrupt ideology and how he has singlehandedly quashed American political debate.

With almost twenty million listeners on more than six hundred stations, Rush Limbaugh is the leading and most dangerous figure in the conservative movement today. John K. Wilson uses the most effective strategy of all—Rush’s own words—to show how Limbaugh’s flagrant disregard for the truth and penchant for savage personal attacks laced with racist, sexist, and homophobic slurs have held the political arena hostage. In this scrupulously documented dissection of the media giant, the author reveals how Rush’s seductive message of hatred has replaced political debate with paranoia. Limbaugh’s machine has become so powerful that even Republicans dare not question his conclusions, while liberal shows are forced to engage with him and provide a forum for his venomous agenda.

The Most Dangerous Man in America is a rigorous, definitive takedown of the one man who does more than any other to poison the American airwaves.

Ratings and reviews

I agree he was the most dangerous man on Earth. I don't understand how people could listen to his radio show and say He was a Patriot. He was a Homophobic racist... He made fun of people who died of aids. He made fun of Michael J. Fox And said he was lying when he was diagnosed with parkinson's. He made fun of Asians . Only people that like him are the ones that are like him.. He was a disgrace.

I wish there was a negative star option...I would give this kook -100 ☆Rush is the TRUTH TELLER EVERYDAY AND THE LEFT HAS BEEN AND IS TRYING TO DESTROY HIM YEARS BUT THE TRUTH AND FACTS STILL MATTER!!!

Hey Mr Wilson Enjoy your freedom and spit out disinformation as much as you can without any consequences. This is the benefit you get when you live in the greatest country on this planet.
