Rush is an entertainer.
I am not in the entertainment business, but I did stay at a...just kidding...but I did live in SoCal for some time.
Here is the rule: If you want to jam in your garage, play the music you like. If you want to play in arenas, play the music your audience likes. Rush plays to his audience, both the liberals and conservatives in his audience. People go to him as they are, he does not create them.
That is what I am saying.

Actually, I just listen. Rush occasionally announces what he is doing and what reaction it will get and he is often correct, and then he laughs about it the next day. Do you ever listen to his show for more than a few minutes a day?

Regarding #2.
I don't think Obama is an Imam.
I don't think Obama appointees are Czars.
I think Obama is American.
I don't think Obama is a "magic negro".
I don't think the Obama administration is a regime.
I don't think Michele "my belle" Obama hates this country.
I think Obama is a citizen.
I think Obama earned his degrees.
I think Obama was more than a social worker before becoming President.
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.
Those who get Rush's show know all of the above also, but we enjoy Rush making fun of Obama and we like how liberals soil themselves over Rush's show occasionally.

I wish you could cut through the shit and at least see the entertainment value in his BS, if not see his lies and exaggerated truth.

Oh, the old Jedi mind trick on us ol' weak minded conservatives.
