Rush gave credit to Freeper for busting Rathergate
Vanity

Did anyone just hear Rush give credit to Free Republic? First he named the Freeper Buckhead then second time he said Burkehead. Pretty cool.

Yes, I heard it!

El Rushbo correctly credited FReeper Buckhead for busting Rathergate. Most media talking heads incorrectly credit the Powerline blog. And the guy who runs Powerline (I forget his name) very happily accepts the "credit", by the way.

So far I've only heard three people in the media give the correct credit to Buckhead and Free Republic: Rush Limbaugh, Brit Hume (Fox News) and Boston-based conservative talk radio host Howie Carr (WRKO).

Congratulations, Buckhead! And thanks again for your efforts... :-)

Obviously a hack ;)

Awesome! People can say what they want about the far east but they appreciate actual musical talent. And he HaZ it in spades.

I think Howie Carr is a Freeper.

He uses the term “freep a poll” correctly. Used it last week

Rush’s FR watchers may have alerted him to that thread

Back in the day, Tony Snow credited Buckhead and FR for Rathergate.

We chatted about that story when Tony invited a few of us to his studio during CPAC.

"Yes! I love it when Rush mentions Creepers."

Jeepers...it ain't Halloween yet, although I'm sure many of us don't need a mask to scare anyone.

To a large degree, when taking calls, Rush relies on a transcriber who types in what the caller is saying. Such transcripts are necessarily rough and contain errors.

“they appreciate actual musical talent. “

And they go to see him! He doesn’t take a band there, although he does to Europe. The Chinese love him even playing to tracks!

Any remember, or hopefully have saved on their hard drive, the cartoon stick figure of a “FReeper” that Rush put on his website years ago?

I looked on FR search a few days ago and Buckhead hasn't posted here for a year. Don't know what happened to him, but he's gone.

When this Rather thing came in the news the other day, I checked to see if Buckhead was still around here. FR search showed his last post to be in October, 2014. Today was his first posts in a year. I'm delighted he's back after all this time.

Rush must have gotten a lot of emails about this because Monday he did credit Powerline.

Well, old FReepers never really leave... But it is sad when they just seem to vanish. Glad he’s back too.
