Rush Greeted Like Rock Star

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.

Please re-post your post 203, with the pic

I want everyone to see what you are really like.

And still not one anti Kerry statement from you.

mmmmmmm

I've just gotten to this thread today as I was away from the computer yesterday.

Frankly I am sickened at how you people have treated Tonk on this thread. In all your smarmy bickering you have completely lost sight of who the REAL criminal is. Funny how you all jumped on the anti-Kerry bandwagon before the election, but now all you want to do is pick a fight with Tonk, someone who has EVERY RIGHT to stick to his fight against Kerry.

I'm truly and literally sickened and disappointed by this. You all should be ashamed.

---

Agreed. Here are some e-mails coming in now.

I just read this thread today and I am sickened by the heavy-handed attacks and/or petty swipes at Rush and pretty much everyone else in the GOP. Stop stealing my material.

Sincerely,
Michael Savage

I just read this thread today and I am sickened by the heavy handed attacks and/or petty swipes at Rush and pretty much everyone else. They're all GREAT AMERICANS. You too. You're a great American. Meet me at Borders for my book signing tour. I'll be at the Borders Paducah.

Signed,

I read my name was mentioned. Thank you.

Let me preach a 15 minute homily on the Real America, and the real Free Republic, complete with funny bits, duck tape, and many unnerving pregnant pauses. I'm Mormon, have I mentioned that yet? PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO MY SHOW FOR THE LOVE OF PETE.

Yours Truly,
Glenn Beck

PS. My fantasy is to be Rush Limbaugh, to actually be absorbed into his body.

---

I'm enjoying all this infighting and petty swipes. It's like my wife says, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." i think that's the first time I ever heard that said. I'm not keen on her buddhist rhetoric. I'd like to think of your rants this way--divide and conquer. Divide and conquer baby as I bite your lips in this political little dance of triangulation.

Your Friends,
Bill Clinton and his Overlord.

PS You're gonna need lots of ice if you guys continue fighting each other instead of us.

This is great stuff. I've got to take notes.

PS Rush is still the godfather.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

You never responded to this either.

Guess you just hate anti Kerry stuff.

Links?

Pic from post 203?

BRING IT ON!

Links?

As was told to you before, the quotes are from a PAY SITE.

There are no links. That doesn't mean I made them up.

When you work with wood you use a saw, plain, chisel, and sander. Each tool has a purpose. Some are employed for ripping apart large chunks of waste. Some are used for finishing detail. And some have multiple uses. that range from ripping to detailing.

Tonk is a finely tuned soldier. His threads and blogs are useful when ripping apart Kerry's past. Rush is a finely tuned broadcaster. His show is the most listened talkshow in the US, useful in a multi-tasking role. And then there are everyday conservatives whose lives touch others ina more sublime way.

To say that Tonk is a nut is just as stupid as saying Rush is wrong for not ripping libs a new one. Rush has much class. Tonk is a good guy. And we have our lives to live as everyday conservatives. Let's leave it at that.

You can't cut a 2 x 4 with an orbital and you can't polish wood with a ripsaw.

Re-post your pic and text from post 203

You CAN do that right?

Here's a reminder for you

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1339524/posts?page=207#207



You're not ashamed are you?

PS Please give me a brief summary on what Rush has said about these "goalposts"

Note the dates also

"Rush won't even ask him, in 2005,
when he will sign Form 180.

Or why Hanoi Kerry is still in the US Senate.

Or when Hanoi Kerry will set the record straight
on his false testimony in April 71"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1339524/posts?page=9#9

Remember you accused me of "moving goalposts"

[TomB]

Uh, you two were saying?

[RushCrush]

Becuase you're nucking futs?

I still don't think that type of talk is necessary.

The best way to end a flame war is to apply an extinguishing agent. There's better things to talk about. I for one want to see more pictures of Helen Thomas. She's a hot momma!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Still waiting for the summary AND pic.

[TomB]

I still don't think that type of talk is necessary.

You know, you may be right. And you may have been able to convince me of it earlier, but having just been reminded what it was like last nite, we'll have to "agree to disagree".

Like I said, if you have any idea what he is getting at with this, let me know.

[TomB]

You are right, and I already have. LOL

(and you might want to consult an optometrist, or a pshychiatrist) ;-)

Now Molly Ivins, there's a babe.....

"Like I said, if you have any idea what he is getting at with this, let me know."

PAY ATTENTION

It's not what I say

It's the US Constitution

U.S. Constitution Amendment XIV

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States,

shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The plan is to eventually have him become more and more cybernetic as hit parts fail so he never dies and can keep doing his job. That is also the plan with Dick Cheney, BTW. Both of these men are cyborg and will become increasingly so.

[mbraynard]

Dude. I don't think many people here disagree with some of your premises, but every time I read a story on FR I see about a dozen posts by you stating the same thing.

IT ISNT WORKING. Stop. Go outside. I'm guessing you are about ~55-60? You've got a lot of living ahead of you. Go outside. Join masters swimming or biking.

You dislike Kerry, but do you realize that through your preocupation with him he is continuing to ruin your life? And you are his accomplice? Maybe your right about the 'criminal' thing because what you are doing is a crime.

I really hope you get your mind straight and can start enjoying your own life again.

[Conservababe]

What is the background on this Sullivan...Rush's guest host today? He is boring me to death.

[RushCrush]

There are thousands of people who lurk on FR and I have always found Tonk's posts to be EXTREMELY informative.

Who are you to tell this man what he should and should not do with his life?

What's wrong is wrong. Even after 35 years. Kerry is still wrong. Tonk is right to call him out on it.

And I for one am VERY glad he is still doing so. He has my full support.

[StarCMC]

I know of at least a dozen FReepers who have served, some in combat, who have NEVER, EVER mentioned it.

I know I am butting I here, but maybe, just maybe these people DON'T talk about their service because they see how you treat the ones who do. Or maybe they have their own reasons. Tonk WANTS to talk about his, so it's his business to do so. Why does this matter so much to you?
