    In a perfect example of projection, Limbaugh explains why he is too stupid to know he's stupid!
    Thank You Rush! :clapping:

    RUSH: The Dunning-Kruger effect. Why low-information people do not know that they are low-information.

    RUSH: "One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid --" You know what that means, don't you? It means somebody that thinks they're dead right all the time, closed-minded and not open to other ideas and therefore is an idiot.
    RUSH: Now, there are exceptions to this. I, for example, am one who feels certainty, and I ain't dumb. :roflol:

    RUSH: "The Dunning-Kruger effect is the finding that the poorest performers are the least aware of their own incompetence.

    RUSH: Socrates even once said, "The only true wisdom is to know that you know nothing."
    Well, that's not the low-information voter, because the low-information voter doesn't know he doesn't know anything.

    RUSH: Low-information people tend to overestimate their level of information. They fail to recognize how other people know much more than they do. They fail to recognize just how little they know, even when they're confronted with it.

    RUSH: Does anybody come to mind describing any of this? Anybody spring to mind immediately when describing somebody who's constantly wrong but will never believe it, doesn't know it, and thinks so high of themselves that they could never, ever deal with the truth? [Yeah YOU spring immediately to mind]

    RUSH: To put it bluntly, dumb people are too dumb to know it." It's a blessing! You know, the worst thing would be to be dumb and to know it -- and there's evidence all over that the dumb do not know they're dumb.

    RUSH: People like me have more scientific knowledge than the average advocate of global warming.

    April 3, 2007
    RUSH: Mark my brilliant words on this. ... The vast majority of CO2 that's in the atmosphere comes from water vapor.

    `The beautiful thing about Rush Limbaugh is that he plays the liberal left like a fiddle and they always bite hook line and sinker.

    `He gathers his facts for an almost airtight argument, then says something to rile up the liberal left so that they start screaming and pointing to him saying things like "look what he's doing now!", so of course, everyone looks, and then he hits them with his argument. It's like a *puppet master playing with the marionettes.

    `He uses them for publicity and he gets his point across and by the end of it all they can say is he's fat and used to do drugs (which goes for 90% of all liberals anyways. Hell, even their beloved President used to drugs and harder stuff than prescription pain meds). They come out looking like jackasses and he comes out as the top radio commentary show.`

    Apparently you missed post # 2, or you don't know that not one molecule of CO2 in the entire universe ever came from H2O (water vapor). Obviously your self-proclaimed "brilliant" MessiahRushie didn't know!

    Rush is an entertainer.

    Clearly, because you are entertained.
