Quote HistoryQuoted: What did Rush conserve? He was the most visible and active voice of an entire generation. Was the country better, or worse, at the end of his tenure? He's gone, and mostly forgotten. No legacy left behind by his own choices. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: It's what he would have wanted You can tell because he left no successor, never mentored a replacement, didn't do much other than bloat on about how the country was going to shit for 30 years while happily cashing checks He was an entertainer, that's all Biden '24! Right bro?! What did Rush conserve? He was the most visible and active voice of an entire generation. Was the country better, or worse, at the end of his tenure? He's gone, and mostly forgotten. No legacy left behind by his own choices. He helped wake up and inform a lot of people. No he didn't single handedly save the country but that is a pretty tall order for one man. He did a lot of good and I'm glad for that. We've much worse today then 30 years ago but I think if there had never been Rush we'd be even worse off then we are if only slightly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wasn't a big fan of Rush Limbaugh. Like almost every radio talk host, he studdered and stammered way too much, his commentaries had way too many "ah..ah..ah" in them. He said the same thing over and over, a different way each time. A five minute story took 30 minutes. His raspy voice grated my nerves. If you played a drinking game where you had to do a shot every time he said "the drive bys" you'd be dead well before the end of the first hour. |

Was a big fan for a while, especially during the ‘00 recount, but eventually I found him tiresome. I’m more interested in fighting the culture war and Rush was always gassing on about how unfair it was Democrats might increase his tax rate from 33 to 35% or whatever. Who cares? He was also a big neocon warmonger post 9-11. It was the last straw when he started inserting advertisements into what should have been show time. As if there wasn’t enough commercial time already. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: why didn't Rush name a successor though? BIG FAIL. Because there were none that could take his place. People refuse to understand he almost single-handedly ''saved'' AM talk radio. There are some decent guys out there but not one could have taken over for him and done anywhere as good a job. I can always tell when people talk about him and his talk show style and mannerisms that they really never listened to him at all. Same for claims he just walked the party line because he railed against weak spined and RINO republicans more then any other talk show host I can think of that had an actual audience. And he NEVER endorsed primary candidates but he sure could point out the shitty ones who wore a sheepskin over their liberal wolf body. I'd bet a goodly portion of the ''republicans'' were glad to see him pass because they didn't like their democrat ways pointed out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: With a single wide, maybe. Totally normal to bulldoze a brand new house too. The land is the money. And they don't make more land. I know someone that built a new house on an awesome piece of property, their dream house, they had just moved in. Someone asked to look at it for design ideas, then had a buyer that wanted to buy it. They asked millions more than they had in it, and sold it. The new owner bulldozed it and is building a new one. Rush Revere is a brilliant effort. Rush tv also helped keep the Clinton Crime Syndicate from doing more damage by at least countering the fake news media in the 90's, and we still got GWB globo war instead of alGore. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe, but that is beside the point. If Rush created any conservatives it was incidental. I consider the 2009 cpac speech the high water mark, but it was just preaching to the choir, as was the radio show. The Gingrich revolution turned to dust and Republicans brought us John Boehner and Paul Ryan to isolate and destroy the teaparty movement, so here we are. I get it with the RINOs squandering things, but the Democrats controlled the House for decades before Rush started. Rush began to shine the light on things never discussed in the media that gave conservatives a daily education on what was really going on. David |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pretty common thing to do. Yup... $385k house on our lake was just torn down and the new property owners are putting up a $490k double A-frame. The previous house was built in 2011, but had tiny rooms. I have no idea what the layout of Rush's home looke like, but people who want to spend money will spend it. The "Robins Nest" from Magnum PI was torn down - it was kind of a crappy layout but looked nice from the outside. Don't like it when libtards tear down a favorite movie location of mine, but its theirs now. (Tom Selleck passed on buying it as it needed LOTS of repairs). |

As a late Gen X'er to early Gen Y'er, I grew up on Rush and his programming helped shaped my political ideology. Was even subscribed to the Limbaugh Letter.
Rush Limbaugh is a visionary in that he created Conservative Talk Media. He invented the market when the FCC fairness doctrine was chucked out the window. He gave birth to the idea of the Reagan Conservative and helped pushed Gingrich's Contract With America. He was the cornerstone for GWB's campaign and is a major reason why GWB beat Al Gore in 2000. He stood fast in keeping Hillary out of the White House in 2008. But by the Second Term of Obama, Rush was becoming politically stale. He went from being a firebrand to being repetitive. Hearing the same talking points in the 2010s that I heard in the late 1990s. Yeah, it became tiring. The biggest thing I think that hurt him was his stance on drug abuse. He would push that drug abuse was a choice, not an addiction. But then he himself became addicted to painkillers, doctor shopping, etc... he championed the war on drugs and pushed that drug users should be thrown in jail. But when he himself got caught, he got a verbal warning and nothing more. All while the common person who was his listener, would be thrown in jail. In the end, Limbaugh was a monumental figure in the political arena for a very long time. But his luster and shine started to fade. He was man, he was fallible, and yet he birthed an entire industry. His greatest achievement was birthing Conservative Talk Media. Shawn Hannity and Glenn Beck owe their careers to him. Every Conservative Political YouTuber owes their shows and jobs to him. He was a political force that in the end, was starting to wane due to changes in political mindsets of the conservative inclined youth and the way to reach those younger voters. |
