America's top radio talker Rush Limbaugh was greeted like a rock star on Monday during an appearance in San Jose, California, while taking a few days off from his regular broadcast to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament.
The packed house at the San Jose Civic Auditorium "welcomed him with a standing ovation," reported the San Jose Mercury News. "There were no hecklers or protesters, and the only shouts were of love for the host," the paper said.
"We are in the midst of a seminal historic shift in this country," Limbaugh told the audience. "The Democrat party and the media have lost their monopoly. They don't rule the roost anymore."
The watershed political moment would have amazed his father, the top talker observed. "If my father could see what's happened today, just the sight of the Democrat party would extend his life by 10 years."
That's one reason conservatives have nothing to fear from Hillary Clinton, he assured those on hand.
Still, the GOP faces a major political problem that can no longer be ignored, he warned. "The Republicans' failure to understand the American people's building rage on illegal immigration" could give rise to a third party candidate, he said, who could tip the 2008 presidential race to the Democrats, much the same way Ross Perot's campaign did in 1992.
Limbaugh also seemed to revise earlier criticism of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for not being conservative enough, telling the audience, "I was wrong."
2,700 people paid $40 a piece to see Limbaugh live. Proceeds from the event will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a charity Limbaugh has supported since he went national in 1988.
You heard that one also, thank God. I thought I was going crazy, when he was one the one time, mid 90's IIRC.
Who is 'Melanie' again?
I'm in total agreement. HE'S A SLEEPER! I think Bill Bennett may be more exciting, and that's saying something because he sux too!
Sir, the fight is over. Kerry lost. Rush and no one else should expend valuable time or political capital to even talk of him.
If you are determined to defeat Kerry, do so when he runs for the Senate again.
The Swift Vets have made their point and were very successful against their foe. They seem to be satisfied with the result.
Ok, no links
So tell me what Rush had to say about Winter Soldier?
He did qoute from
http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/staticpages/index.php?page=PitkinAff
correct?
After all it was all over FR
Why would I be interested in somebody from MA?
Well, now. YOU have "other obligations".
Yet you DEMAND Rush sacrifice his show to serve your agenda? Last I checked, he wasn't from MA either.
Hypocrite.
"Sir, the fight is over. Kerry lost. Rush and no one else should expend valuable time or political capital to even talk of him."
"This is the first meeting of the Kerry for President Committee 2008," Kennedy declared as Kerry and his wife, Teresa, looked on.
In a meeting earlier in the day with Herald editors and reporters, Kennedy predicted Kerry would be an even more formidable candidate if he runs again in four years.
Boston Globe 02/05/05
KERRY: Yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare.
RUSH: And he says he didn't know what those laws were when he was doing it. There are also no home movies of this, folks. We've got incredible footage, home movies, 8-millimeter movies taken by John Kerry of his acts of heroism, but damn it! I guess the film got lost, or maybe the camera wasn't working. We just don't have any 8-millimeter footage of John Kerry torching villages with his Zippo, which he -- I mean you just heard he admitted doing. What are we supposed to do here, just ignore this? Yeah, I guess so. "It's 40 years old. This doesn't matter. We're running for president in 2004." Well, except (laughing) Senator Kerry takes us back to Vietnam in every speech. He's the one that is telling us that's why he should be elected.
OK already you are a war criminal! I believe you!!! You've harped on that this entire thread, let it go! Step outside and enjoy the sunshine while I nurse my frostbitten fingers from ice fishing this morning..........
"Well, now. YOU have "other obligations".
The difference between Rush and I is I volunteer my time.
Rush gets paid.
Check my tagline if you are afraid to see what
I do from my FR Profile page.
Yeah, it's official, he's completely nuts. He just authoritatively quoted Ted Kennedy.
Rush was a bore ..Getty Lee has the most annoying voice in all on rock...
To do what? What you tell him to do?
If this issue is so damn important, I would think you wouldn't have a problem volunteering your time. Start a website or something. But just stop bitching!
Check my tagline if you are afraid to see what I do from my FR Profile page.
I can see what you do. Cut-and-paste and whine incessantly.
I'm not "harping", I'm just getting the truth out.
Believe it or not Kerry IS running in 08
He's has more money than hitlery and all it will take is another hitlery health problem to write her off.
Sorry: Melanie Morgan, a.m. drivetime co-host on KSFO.

Huh?
Is this some kind of game for you? Make a stupid statement, get proven wrong, and then change the subject?
Haven't you been proven wrong enough?
And I ask again, why aren't YOU doing more if this is such a big deal for you?
(I've got a new tag too!)
FYI, the word I hear is the Rush YOU were referring to originally is going to do a comeback tour (or just did)soon - check it out!
I meant a GOOD website. You know, one that people might actually read and link to.
