Rush has been hinting at the big announcement. Now it's finally out. He has produced 4 iced tea products, mail order only, with a portion going to Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation.

Media Bias: Not long after pro football welcomed a convicted felon back on the playing field, Rush Limbaugh is dropped for his opinions from a group seeking to buy an NFL franchise. Won't someone throw a flag? When even Keith Olbermann says back off, you know the politically correct critics of the conservative icon and megaradio talk host's proposed part ownership of the St. Louis Rams are guilty of piling on. The prospect of the leading conservative voice in America participating in the purchase of a football team sent the liberal elites into cardiac arrest and into a frenzied campaign...

That woman just brought me to tears, and that's not easy.

Every FReeper needs to listen to this. A mom. Passionate. One of the best callers to Rush. Maybe ever.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An out-of-work truck driver smiled Monday as he pleaded guilty to killing two people and wounding six others at a Tennessee church last summer because he considered the liberal church "a den of un-American vipers." ">snip<"

Rush Limbaugh Talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh is blasting the so-called economic stimulus plan of President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress, calling it an assault on capitalism intentionally designed to harm the private sector and lead to bigger government. "This is a full-fledged attack on capitalism, and the leftists Democrats have been seeking this for the longest time," Limbaugh said on his program this afternoon. "That's why they can't stop themselves. It is Christmas morning every day for these people. There's nobody that can stop them." A question e-mailed to the host asked if the Democrats really understood that they're "destroying...

Just Wow. For those that were listening, it was one of the most facinating exchanges between a listener and Rush Limbaugh. Rush was speaking to an out-of-work grandmother who loves Pittsburg, and used to live there when Rush was working at a local radio station. She said that she couldn't afford the trip up, and was nearly indigent, and Rush is going to get her and her son a hotel room, a ride from their home in FL to Tampa for the Super Bowl.

CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh? My name is David Beatty, and I'm 16 years old. I want to thank you for the work you do to educate America and reinforce what my parents teach us. Something I believe needs to be re-taught is the value of a strong work ethic. I want people to know that the American dream is still alive. I live in the northwest where many people sing songs of socialism. Kids at school have no idea what it really means to have a socialist society, giving up their freedoms to, quote, "Spread the wealth." And last year,...

As I have only been an avid lister to Rush since the late 90's, I am hoping a fellow dittohead out there has recordings of earlier shows. He occasionally references past shows. I want to be up to speed. I'd like to hear ones from his national debut in 1988, to 1997.

Here's hoping that I will be excused for this vanity post, however, those lights don't go off in my head as often as they used to, so here goes. There are thousands of ways to express frustration with the bias of the old media and most of them have been used on this forum. For years some of our voices have been derisively called those of dittoheads, referring to Rush Limbaugh listeners. Could there be a more apt description of big media when it comes to democratic politicians and their agenda(s)? Furthermore, is it imaginable how the phrase will stick...

RUSH: Here is Heather in Burbank. Hi, Heather. Welcome to the EIB Network. CALLER: Hi, Rush. I just want to let you know that I am the complete opposite of all those stories. You and my husband have inspired me to do two things. First off, I am a former liberal, daughter of a public schoolteacher, and family of feminazis and I was really laid off so what I've done last year is I converted to being a Republican and voted for Bush, whereas in 2000 I voted for Gore and I just recently started my own business so I'm...

RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites. We have three bites from Ann Coulter here from Washington Journal on C-SPAN today. C-SPAN caller tells Ann Coulter and Brian Lamb that he divorced his wife because she didn't want him to listen to me. She said, "Me or Rush." The caller picked me. C-SPAN CALLER: Let me ask you a question about talk radio. I remember when talk radio first hit the airwaves around '88, when Rush Limbaugh came on, and it was really a breath of fresh air hearing somebody that finally agrees with what I've been thinking and...

All right, now, folks, you're going to have to calm down out there. You're just going to have to calm down out there. I am being inundated with e-mails, "What does it mean, these cabinet resignations? Oh no, Rush, how can Bush get anything done with all of these cabinet leaders? Oh, Rush, what's happening, it's all falling apart." Folks, take a time-out here. You know, do what the New York Jets should have done yesterday afternoon with 52 seconds left, let's take a time-out, don't wait till there's eight seconds. What a horrible bunch of clock management that game...

Chesapeake, VA – Each year thousands of twenty-five year-olds across America endure the emptiness and depression associated with the "quarter-life crisis" – a severe form of psychological trauma akin to the more well-known "mid-life crisis" and usually triggered by the failure to become a dot com millionaire or famous TV personality by the age of twenty-five. But successful author and nanotechnology advocate Britt Gillette has managed to avoid the depression and self-pity typical of his age bracket, and he attributes the bulk of his success to radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. When Gillette graduated from college three years ago,...

Now that the Democrats have had their backsides handed to them, analysts are expecting them to spend a lot of money researching such things as why they were so roundly rejected by exurban voters, and whether Al Gore has any life left in him for another run in 2004. But I wonder if they might do better if they just saved their money and bought up some talk radio stations. When the political scientists start studying this midterm election, I think they'll find that conservative talk radio was the GOP's most effective secret weapon — "secret" only because people who...
