Rush posted several different uncomplimentary pictures of FREEPERS,over the years and outright trashed,bashed,and slammed FR and FREEPERS many different times over the years.

What's really funny, is that one day before the 2000 election, he said something really complimentary about Free Republic. It's what lead to to visit here (that night), lurk for a few months, and then join! Shortly thereafter, he started on a "bashing" phase (which he's done a few times...you're right).

I thought it odd...but it makes more sense if you remember that he was drugged! Since then, he's said some complimentary things occasionally. Of course, I think the same of him...some days "what a blowhard"...other days "good show."

I started listening to Rush in '98/'99. I gave up listening to him on a daily basis years ago,because frankly,he was dreadful. Part of that change was due to his marrying Marta,part the drug problem,and part just because his ego took over;but,the biggest reason I no longer needed to listen to him was FR. If one reads FR,one is far ahead of ANY talk shows.They get to what I've already read and/or discussed the night or the week or the month before.It's already old news and I don't need nor want anyone to tell me what I should think about it.
