“Rush Limbaugh was my Charlie Kirk.”

Huge difference.

Rush was an entertainer; Kirk was an activist.

Besides talking, what did Rush DO to fix things? (Dan’s Bake Sale and Operation Chaos don’t really count.)

Limbaugh was far more than just an entertainer.

He changed hearts and minds, too. :-)

That’s a good point regarding Limbaugh. I read one of his books when I was in my 20s. I credit him with turning me into a conservative, although it probably would have happened sooner or later anyway. Kirk was better though. Kirk helped us win the 2024 election.

He was an activist, not as much as Charlie Kirk, but he was instrumental in sparking the Republicans gaining control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years, and promoted the Contract with America. It was up to the Republicans to see it thru.

The democrats and the press had other ideas.

Conservative counter media began with Rush. Without Rush there is no Charlie Kirk. Charlie viewed Rush as an inspiration as did countless others who are the present day voice of modern conservatism. That's what Rush did.

Rush was much, much more than an entertainer. You must not have listened to him like at all…

Rush made Kirk possible.
