I was a young skull of mush. You can credit Rush for changing my political outlook fresh out of college.
rush changed my life...still does. he is bright, funny and incisive. and he gave me the courage to speak my mind, unafraid.
Ditto. It's been a little over ten years since I first listened to Rush. As a college freshman, I was "outraged" by his "insensitivity" . . . but then I continued to listen to him and realized . . . "hey, he's right." I credit Rush with changing my mind about a lot of things in college. . . although it would take me a few more years to convert wholly to a conservative ideology.
Ditto. I feel I have moved past Rush, but at the time he was a fresh voice in the liberal media wasteland. Success breeds imitation. Today I listen to Rush, Mike Savage, and NPR. I also watch Fox news, CNBC, and MSNBC. I also Freep and surf the Web. It is because these news/opinion forums are available. Back in 1988 only Rush, CNN and NPR was available to me. Before Rush it was Nightline NPR and CNN. Things have certainly improved and while I don't learn as much from Rush as I used to, I still enjoy listening to him as an ideological refresher course and a great source of information.
