I don’t get a chance to listen to Rush much anymore, but when I do, he doesn’t seem to have the passion he once had. Free Republic is now on the cutting edge of societal evolution, not Rush.

Rush has never been the same since the Sandra Fluke affair where he rushed back to the microphone to apologize profusely. He lost me with that.

While I was once a daily listener, I have moved on since his "passion" is gone.

Want another indicator of the flagging nature of his radio show? On FR is a daily thread that follows the "Rush Limbaugh Show." After listening to his show, I would eagerly read this thread. The number of comments would be in the hundreds. Look at that same thread recently. The number of comments about his show's content is well below a hundred (yesterday it was 37!) with many of them being nothing more than FReepers exchanging greetings and recipes.

To me, that Rush thread, on FreeRepublic of all places, says it all.

Good observations...I too have noticed the declining activity on the Rush threads.

FR itself doesn’t have the same level of posts in threads or even number of new articles as in years past.
