( CNN ) -- Apple , that icon of left-leaning Silicon Valley whose board of directors includes former Democratic Vice President Al Gore , is really a symbol of the Republican Party . Rivals Google and Samsung , meanwhile , are more like Democrats . Got that ? This analysis comes courtesy of Rush Limbaugh , the conservative talk-show host , who ventured into the unfamiliar world of tech punditry last week . On his radio show Friday , Limbaugh went on a curious rant about how tech bloggers are overrun with liberals who hate Apple -- not unlike , in his view , how the mainstream ( translation : left-wing ) media covers the GOP . `` I would venture to say that 9 out of 10 bloggers writing high-tech hate Apple . Apple is the equivalent of the Republicans on these blogs , and Google , Android , and Samsung are the equivalent of the Democrats . They 're perfect , they ca n't do anything wrong , they 're ideal , and everybody hates Apple , '' he said , according to a transcript posted on his website . Limbaugh added this opinion of tech bloggers : `` I 'd say most of them vote Democrat . Most of them think they 're young and hip , pop culture hip . That 's high-tech , of course it would be . Republicans to them are probably aliens from Mars , racists , sexists , bigot homophobes . '' The right-wing commentator went on to accuse pro-Google , pro-Samsung bloggers of `` faking data , faking news to make it look bad for Apple when it really is n't . '' He added that a small minority of pro-Apple bloggers are starting to write about this `` media bias , '' even though `` they do n't understand it . '' Limbaugh offered no explanation for why so-called liberal bloggers would favor Google and Samsung over Apple . His comments prompted some head-scratching among tech reporters who questioned Limbaugh 's knowledge of the tech-media landscape . `` Yes , there are certain bloggers who obviously favor one company or another , '' wrote Chris Matyszczyk for CNET . `` But the idea that 9 out of 10 bloggers regularly toss rancid red tomatoes at Apple , while Tim Cook is trapped in the stocks and pleading for his life , seems a trifle stretched . '' Others took issue with Limbaugh comparing Apple to the Republican Party . While Apple has evolved from a scrappy , counterculture startup into a wealthy corporation that 's a darling of Wall Street , it 's been more historically aligned with left-leaning causes . Its late co-founder , Steve Jobs , often expressed support for Democratic candidates . And still others poked fun at Limbaugh 's comment , in describing the tech sites he reads , that `` some of these blogs have actual websites . '' `` I dunno about anyone else , but when I want a real nuanced take on the tech industry , I go to Limbaugh , '' said Henry Tsay on Twitter . `` Rush Limbaugh says that Apple is like the Republican Party . That grinding sound you hear is coming from Steve Jobs ' grave , '' added Twitter user Brand Gamblin . When asked by a listener to identify which tech sites and bloggers he was talking about , Limbaugh declined . `` Folks , I 've thought about it , and there 's nothing to be gained by it . If I call 'em out , all they 're gon na do is get happy that I 'm giving them attention ... it 's not gon na change them , '' he said . `` They do n't need more readers . The more readers they have , the more damage they would do . ''
