There probably would not be so much animus towards Rush from this board if he would occasionally give attribution to FR when he steals ideas from the forum. It is amazing how often he begins discussing a subject shortly after the supporting article is posted here. Several Freepers have experienced sharing ideas/concepts with him only to have them claimed as his own later.
I've heard Rush give Credit to FR many times.
Can't claim it has been every time. Don't get to listen every day.
I first heard of Free Republic on Rush's show. Made an effort to get educated and been hooked since.
