Do you have the quotes for implying that Rush’s father shared your strange elitist views of Rush Limbaugh’s show, and that it was too low brow for him until Buckley publicly approved it, did Rush’s father also do that for Fox News?

Again, you are distorting my comments. As for Limbaugh's father, in addition to what Rush himself has said on his program, The Rush Limbaugh Story, Talent on Loan from God, by Paul D. Colford, describes how Limbaugh's father listened closely to his son's show when it came to a Cape Giradeau station.

Limbaugh's father "questioned why Rush had to use so much comic material. He failed to grasp that it was the humorous coating of conservative views that had placed his son before a national audience in the first place. He didn't get it. He was too serious a man to see immediately that hios own closely held opinions and the insights shared night after night across the kitchen table were now echoed loudly and more widely by a far-from-serious, conservative wise guy." (at page 104).

The same book describes Limbaugh's struggles to get national syndication launched and, along with his business allies, to grow his affiliate network, along with misteps and reverses along the way. Give it a look.
