Ditto that
20 years of Rush and they still don’t get it........................
In our new book Fleeced, my wife Eileen McGann and I also raise the prospect that the left will seek to enforce sections of the FCC law which require “community participation” in the “ownership and management” of radio stations. As the National Review has pointed out, this can be a cover for infiltrating boards of directors and programming departments with liberals – an effort to hijack talk radio.
Who needs Congress to pass a ‘Fairness Doctrine’ if you control the FCC and get them to do this?
You had better enjoy him while you can. First thing if the ‘Rats get in is the Fairness doctrine passed.
I expect to see it in January. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Rush was off the air by March.
Rush is a dried up husk of the greatness that he COULD have been.
He aided and abetted the destruction of American conservatism during the very liberal, internationalist Bush presidency.
It’s funny. Yesterday I heard the 20 year congrats from Sean Hannity on Rush’s show. I thought back to the earliest I remember listening. It was like 1993. I ran it in the Psych office I worked in. Drove the boss nuts.
Congrats Rush, and thanks! You were a little bit of sanity in Cuyahoga county.
mega-dittoes
Something Dick Morris and I actually agree on.
S much for Little Dick's parade of heroes. Other than Prager, they're all dim bulbs and self promoting schmucks.
Fixed it. Grant was on the air in 1970 doing conservative talk radio.

You can say Rush is the Babe Ruth of Talk Radio. That's true. But BOB GRANT is the TY COBB.
Midwest DragRacing Dittos to Rush!!!!!!
Keep on keeping-on....airwaves or bytes we’ll be listening!
This is not Russia, Cuba, or other countries that can shut up their news papers, radio, and other means of open communication....last time I looked this is still America. Home of the FREE and the BRAVE, the latter has a few exceptions notably Nancy Pelosi, speaker for what is left of the Democratic Party cum Democratic Socialists of America. Every time one of them tries to hush Rush, an enormous ground swell like a tsunami hits them, but being on the really dim side, liberals never have understood why conservatives like truth and facts. Rush Limbaugh is an American Treasure and the absolute Teacher of Democracy. Reid, Pelosi, Frawnks, Murtha, Durbin, etc. are the utter dregs of vile politics.
I vividly recall sitting in my office parking lot during lunch hour to catch my first Rush show (on recommendation from my brother).
I was awed, delighted, and amused. That was the summer of 1992.
The Fairness Doctrine plot is a bit overblown IMO. There is overwhelming public and commercial support for unrestrained talk radio. The emergence of satellite radio and Internet podcasts makes the entire purpose of the FD to seem a bit antiquated. I don’t think the public would ever permit such a gross intrusion of the government into free speech on the airwaves.
Finally, the reason Clear Channel paid Rush $400 million isn’t merely his commercial status, but because he is their best insurance against the Fairness Doctrine. It will take only one Rush talking 3 hours every day against it to make certain that the FD is never put into place again.
The Issue:
Once again, liberal leaders are pushing the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” to silence conservative leaders like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. Their goal is clear -- silence conservative speech over the radio airwaves. Read MRC’s Special Report: Unmasking The Fairness Doctrine (.pdf)
The Media Research Center
Bump ditto
They mix conservative hosts with people like Randi Rhodes and Stephanie Miller.
The idea is a pretty good one (for their sakes) because if I tune in to hear Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, or Neal Boortz - sometime I get burned by the liberal idiots.
The funny thing is that their strategy is to use the popularity and inertia of conservatives to carry the liberal message.
Congrats, Rush! wow...20...
If only McCain listened to Rush!
[sigh]
Congratulations on 20 years!! You are Talk Radio!!
