The link is to a different story for time's sake of posting this---Look, I love Rush Limbaugh. Especially the past year he was like a companion when I was working from home alone. However, it's time to get back to talk radio, discussion and problem solving. I honestly feel Rush would not like this weeks long tribute to him---I think he'd want to be honored but he'd want us to get back to brainstorming, calling in and making a difference. I have moved on to other talk radio between 12-3....Not out of disrespect but out of Respect for Rush to move on and "fight the good fight".
No one I know is not moving on
IMHO, the only one who could take over is James Golden.
ML/NJ
But then Rush said some things that Freepers disagreed with too, so...
Me too
Worst post of the week winner?
What’s the point of this post of yours anyways?
I see your point, but it’s only been, what? eight days since he died. We will move on. For News Hounds like most of us on FR, Current News Events will force us to divert our focus.
However, there will be a lingering sense of loss, namely because Rush was a ‘One Of A Kind’ type personality, even if you never met him. Even if you never even planned to meet him, he leaves a big imprint in the mind.
I for one, was constantly impressed at his broad intelligence that appeared to be balanced by his deep compassion for people. His easy humor was that ‘Spoonful of Sugar that helped the Medicine go down.” I didn’t worship him. I worship no man walking this earth. I just saw him as a manifestation of excellence in many ways.
Liberal heads explode every day that Rush is remembered. He has provided 33 years of material that can be rewoven to apply for today and today’s news.
To whom is this intended? Are there people out there who are not moving forward?
I couldn’t care less what you like. It’s not a tribute. EIB is doing this for 90 days until they decide on his replacement.
Just this week were many of the great OLD stunts and one of his DJ years slinging rock’n roll music I had never heard. Aborted phone calls, etc.......
33 years. I’m sure it can all be put on a couple of flash drives for when I’m in an old folks home doing nothing. It would be nice hearing him in the background. Many of his monologues are timeless so if any subject comes up they can turn back to him. I remember FOX going back to Kruthamer from time to time after his death.
The point of the post is exactly what it is-—possibly hoping to get some other talk radio options...12-3 choices are limited. I enjoy Chris Plante 9AM-12PM and Prager/Gallagher 1-3 is okay. But other options until EIB and 12-3PM gets back to business.
Is anyone doing Rush’s show right now?
I would love to see Mark Steyn do it at least once a week if not the whole show.
Walter Williams was always great replacing Rush
"Here is x current story about illegal immigration ("caravans"), this is what Trump did, this is what Xiden is doing wrong, and this is what Rush said, this is what Rush presaged, this was Rush's prescription to cure it."
Next topic and so on.
Take these 90 days and frame the argument that Xiden is borne of fraud, this is what that fraud actually entails, and to that exact point, 'here are the absolute deficiencies of the Democrat Party entraining Marxism'.
90 Days? Yeah, I’m pretty sure Rush would be 100% against this——90 days of lost conversation on what’s changing by the moment for the world’s largest audience. Real bright——
There are plenty of conservative talk radio hosts out there. Nobody has stopped listening to them because Rush passed.
Exactly what is your point?
His replacement. A caller to the Mark Davis show thinks the successor has been chosen. Davis said it ain’t gonna be him. Rush had that humor element + the ability to explain for everyone to see. No real ranting like Hannity.
I think Newt has that humor + intellectual element but he’s too old. Davis said that guy/gal has to be up for 30 years. No such person alive-my thought.
I wish the staff well and hope they pull it off but replacing Rush is like replacing Johnny Carson. You can do it but it's not the same and never will be. it might still be successful in general terms (as Leno was) but not iconic. Tough, tough shoes to fill.
“weeks long tribute”?
The man passed 8 days ago. That is one week and one day ago. Not 2 weeks ago, not 3 weeks ago. One friggen week.
There will be a time soon enough to get on to the latest current events, but I hope when the EIB begins doing that again, they will still play clips of Rush from previous shows. He had timeless wisdom. Not knowledge. Wisdom. There’s a difference.
