About Rush’s impact on a lot of us Baby Boomer’s: Back when I first found Rush on the local radio, I was just relieved someone else was speaking up for what i was thinking. Reagan was out of office and the media then was already making me feel like an old fogey. And i was young then! Then I caught a co-worker also quietly listening to Rush too. He gave us back a voice before the www. Even tho I’d rather listen to others now, I still turn on Rush sometimes. Even if it were to happen that he’s become a prog, i feel we owe him a debt of gratitude for allowing us a voice thru Bush 41 and the Klintoon years. (i doubt he’s turned prog but don’t think he’s as on top of things as some)
Rush has told us, several times, that he opines for 3 hours each day drawing on his observation and experience with neo-communists (”liberals”). Hannity uses contacts in the legal world to dig into stories.
That accounts for the different directions. It also accounts for Rush not working the same stories, he does not have the sources to verify.
Rush is still anti-neo-communist in every inch of his glorious naked body.
I remember hearing Rush in 1989 and listening enthusiastically over the ensuing two decades.
But there are possibly some dark points about Rush. One, he’s tended to push establishment presidential candidates like Romney during primaries.
Another is the way he used to go out of his way to assure his listeners that there’s no such thing as conspiracies, always mentioning by name the Bilderbergs, CFR, and the Trilateral Commission. One last thing I remember about what Rush used to say. Like WC Fields, he specifically stated a dislike for children. At first there seems to be nothing wrong with either of these things, but in the current context of satanic conspirators doing horrible things to children since time immemorial, combined with the fact that Rush gets his millions directly from the establishment (if not from the deep state itself) it just doesn’t smell right.
