If I had to guess I would say that Rush gets as much as 35-50% of his info off the web. Some days more, some days less. FR is always a part of that equation although we seldom get credit. Whether its 5% on some days or as much as 10-15% on others is hard to say but to infer that we have no influence at all would be naive.

I like to go with the ronald reagan concept:

you can get a lot done if you don’t care who gets credit.

does it matter that bill clinton is the one who signed the 1996 immigration reform doing away with anchor babies? (not to be confused with birthright citizenship), the 1996 Defense of Marriage Amendment, or Welfare reform?

If we can, as unpaid volunteers, help then that is just a plus.

I don’t know why C comes on FR. He just likes to cause problems, and be a smart-mouth. I will not bother to reply to him again

I would suspect that many right of centre talk radio and TV shows at least surf FR to see where a certain portion of their viewers are at after-all they need to appeal to that maybe not majority of the listeners/viewers but a good chunk and without them their ratings would plunge.

If by doing this a few nuggets mentioned on this board and other conservative/Republican sites gets into the media and eventually into the homes of the public then this board and others similar are serving one of their purposes to get information out.

I am sure sites such as this are used for their material even if they do not want to mention them for fear maybe that their creditability might be in question.

I am sure that many of them first picked up on Sarah Palin from this and other right wing websites and I also suspect that FR would have been used by the McCain VP committee to see where some of the grassroots conservatives would be on the pick. Whilst we probably cannot take the all the credit for the pick and other items mentioned in the conservative/Republican/right wing media we are still part of the whole.

Read the Wall Street Journal: I can pick out what his topic of the day is going to be from the hottest topics on the editorial pages.
