WXIT 1200 AM: We Loves Us Some Funny

We'll start of this post with a quote from Aisling Broadcasting's own website (goblueridge.net), in particular the part of the site where they describe their fleet of radio stations, each station's format, and the particular demographic allegedly attracted to each station:

NewsTalk 1200 WXIT is a favorite of upscale, educated, involved people. Listen live to Roten in the Morning, The Sports Page with Jeff Fancher, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, and more.

Very good then. Now, some recent programming brought to you via the public airwaves on WXIT 1200 AM, which quite obviously would be strongly favored by the very same "upscale, educated, involved people" Aisling claims listen to WXIT:

...
Rush Limbaugh asserted that the Democratic Party was "go[ing] with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black." As Media Matters for America noted, Limbaugh said on his May 21 broadcast that "Barack Obama is an affirmative action candidate" and asserted during his May 14 broadcast that "[i]f Barack Obama were Caucasian, they would have taken this guy out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago."
...
[W]hile referencing a May 26 column written by John Lott Jr., Limbaugh stated, "John Lott Jr. has this theory. He's done some research and found out that the growth of government can be traced to when women got the vote." Limbaugh later asserted, "The one observation you can make about this whole business, because he proved it. I mean, it's -- the growth of government started like crazy when women got the right to vote. Which just proves: Size does matter to 'em."

So--more only slightly veiled language indicating the desirability of committing an act of violence, and still more sexist language focused on women's rights.

As this country slowly begins to realize that obsessively focusing on God, guns, war, and gays (and the hatred of other minorities & women), does not create jobs or a stable economy, it will be interesting to watch Limbaugh's audience tank. At some point, the hatred will not longer satisfy the masses--and then what will poor Aisling do?
