Rush on TIME magazine cover (MSM afraid then and now)

Time Magazine ^ | Vanity

[SolidWood]

In face of the current events a little time-travel to the 1990's... The MSM hasn't changed a bit.

[rintense]

That subhead is nothing more than socialists crying because no one listens to their ‘voices’.

[Hildy]

OH MY GOD...all of a sudden dissent is bad...

[brivette]

Rush just gave the greatest speech I’ve heard in years.

[Hildy]

I’m confused..is this an old cover or a new cover? I love how they have him blowing smoke though. Can they be more obvious?

[SolidWood]

Old... don’t have the year, but 1990’s.

I don’t think a current issue would pick a photo of a young Rush.

[beaversmom]

I think they are questioning our patriotism!

January 23, 1995.

But why is the date blurred out in the upper-left corner?

It’s that way on the TIME’s web site as well.

Caption in white lower left, “talk radio is only the begining electronic populism threatens to short circuit representative democracy”
THREATENS TO SHORT CIRCUIT REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY? What a bunch of lying sacks of dog sh##! These pompus idiot marxist want you all to think we have a representative democracy that will be threatened by talk radio. God bless our patriot talk radio heroes, RUSH, HANNITY, LEVIN, GRANT, KUDLOW AND THE MANY MORE ACROSS THIS GREAT NATION, LEAD US TO VICTORY IN 2010 AND 2012. CRUSH THE HORDS OF DESPICABLE, CRIMINAL WHORES AND SCUMBAGS WE NOW HAVE IN WASHINGTON.

Working the same old tired BS of bashing a great conservative.

[BobS]

There is no way Rush would do a foto-op for Time. He could sue them into bankruptcy.

[Edgewood Pilot]

I used to enjoy TIME.

No longer.

This issue reminds me why.

[buccaneer81]

Love the subheading about ...”Electronic populism short circuiting representative government.” They couldn’t have imagined the power of the internet coming within a few short years.

[Phantom Lord]

Will he be putting out a podcast of it? I hope so.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Already on YouTube. CPAC, today.

[JaneNC]

He was great.

Loved his speech

[LiberConservative]

Yes.

[Huck]

Newt's speech was better. Rush has a hard time staying on track. It's got to be hard when he's used to having 3 hours every day. Well, minus all the commercials. It was a pretty good speech, but he was all over the place.

Did you see Newt's speech?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Thanks Diana, I bookmarked it.
