Cape Girardeau is the proud hometown of Rush Limbaugh the undisputed king of conservative talk radio
Once best known as the site of a Civil War battle or the biggest Mississippi port between St Louis and Memphis, Cape Girardeau is now renowned for one thing – it is the home town of Rush Limbaugh.
With more than 14 million listeners a week, Limbaugh, 58, is the undisputed king of conservative talk radio and probably the most powerful voice of opposition to President Barack Obama.
Shortly after the inauguration, the Obama administration, judging that he was one of the most polarising figures in America, singled him out as the target of a coordinated offensive after he said of the new president: “I hope he fails.”
On the banks of the river, where the flood wall bears a mural of Limbaugh along with other famous Missourians, Tony DePalma, a cook on board the MV Mississippi inspection vessel looked towards Cape Girardeau and said: “This is the Holy Land.
“This is small town America and Rush is the voice of reason, the voice of the constitution, the Thomas Paine of our times. I have listened to the show since 1988. I used to have three radios to follow it. Now I download it on my iPod.
“The Obama administration miscalculated when they went after Rush. That’s why you see them leaving him alone now.”
Cape Girardeau’s visitors’ bureau supplies eager tourists with a Rush Limbaugh driving tour, taking them to such sites as his birthplace at 1701 Lacey Street, the barber’s shop where he used to shine shoes and the Limbaugh law firm, founded by his grandfather in 1916.
The town’s Rush Hudson Limbaugh courthouse is named after the grandfather, who practiced law beyond his 100th birthday and was once President Dwight Eisenhower’s

Rush for President!!!!!!!
Not a bad piece. Their listening figures are inaccurate, though: Rush is up well past 22 million listeners now, potentially much higher as a result of Obama trying to destroy him.
We must never forget that Rush has caused three key events to occur this year:
1)mobilized the conservative movement by being the first prominent conservative calling for ‘Obama to fail’; followed it up with his appearance at CPAC that laid out conservative principles and helped legitimize conservatism as a political approach to oppose Obama
2)In the aftermath of Rush’s speech, Michael Steele ridiculed Rush causing many conservatives to abandon giving anymore to the RNC. SarahPAC created on Jan. 27th became the main beneficiary and with Rush’s occasional words of praise for Sarah Palin SarahPAC (apparently) was able to rake in much more money than initially expected making Sarah Palin’s national aspirations more viable and may have been one of the key reasons that Sarah Palin could announce her resignation on July 3rd, with an eye to moving on to the national stage.
3)contributed significantly to exposing the Messiah’s anti-capitalist agenda and how he was destroying the American economy which now is reflected in Obama’s low poll numbers in the Rasmussen Daily tracking poll
:-D.
Rush is not polarizing, OBAMA is polarizing.
Just listen to Gibbers and you see him mouthing O’s ugly divisive rhetoric.
Well all those people who were condeming Rush when he said he hopes Obama Fails,WHERE ARE THEY NOW ? When will they revisit That statement and opine on, Well America, WAS RUSH RIGHT AFTER ALL?
The Answer is a RESOUNDING YES!
