One conservative questions another.
Thanks for the link. I missed it last night and wanted to view it!
I question Hannity and his conservativeness.
No question about Rush. He's out there on his own. We need more Rush's.
Great interview. Having not heard much of Rush in years, he does show why he’s on top.
Hannity can have his moments, but he’s not close. Interesting to see that this came together. In a sense they are rivals, but in reality Hannity can never match this guy.
He’s really sharp.
This turned out to be a really good interview. Rush was behind the golden microphone.
Thanks. Excellent!
Rush = genius with endless insight and interesting perspective.
Hannity: Idiot who just reads the fax the RNC sends him every day and has never had an interesting insight in his life. I have never understood how/why he is so popular.

What has he done to warrant the question? He may not be the brightest bulb, and he may be the master of sticking to the talking points sans original thought, but Hannity is a greater foot soldier than most any of us here on FR will ever be. How many people have you connected with the conservative message?
Darn! I missed it. Maybe I will be lucky enough to catch the Diane Sawyer - Katie Curic interview if it ever happens... Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
awesome...
thanks!!
Heres one,Hannity supported roooty during the primary and cast aside the few real conservatives Hunter and Thompson.Oh sure he gave them a few interviews but certainly not to the degree that roooty recieved.That is when I started to wonder about him.Somebody(rupert murdoch) is pulling his strings.
Good point.
Rush and Hannity both serve the Cause in two different ways:
1. Rush is the consumate educator, teaching the masses on the principles of conservatism. Over the course of time, this can sway entire sections of the Electorate.
2. Hannity sticks to the “talking points” because his job is a bit different than Rush’s. Rush doesn’t go toe-to-toe with libs on a nightly basis on a national cable show. Hannity HAS TO be the hammer in order to nail the libs in front of the cameras.
I have had numerous battles with libs (and won them) by approaching the discussions the way Hannity does it.
Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.............
Peace.
one water carrier interviews another. since they lead us astray by not endorsing anyone, maybe they can redeem themselves. altho Rush getting school chilren in Green Bay to cry is a step in the right direction lol.
Do you have the inclination and ability to summarize the highlights?
I started listening to Hannity again after the election, you could see he was starting to get it, but then he gets mccain,romney and rove on his “great” american panel. geez, DID. NOT. LEARN. A. THING. And Rush, he didn’t didnt want to go out on a limb and endorse someone for the election, I guess he cared what liberal think about him. They accuse him of telling us how to vote. I think his endorsement of someone other than romney,mccain or rudy would have been important. even if that person lost at least I would feel Rush had the right idea. And then his operation chaos, I dont know if that got hillary sidetracked or not, but out of those 3 hillary would have been a better president. it still would have sucked tho.
You’re one tough cookie! Why in the world do you need Rush to endorse anyone? I thought we conservatives were capable of making up our own mind? I didn’t need him or anyone else to guide the way for me and I’m sure you didn’t either. He was in a losing situation anyway he went. No matter who he endorsed the rest of his listeners would have faulted him for it. No, he did the right thing ...
I disagree...I listen to Rush daily. On many occasions, Rush tried to (paraphrasing here) ‘drag McCain’s sorry ar$e across the finish line.’ He gave open air time to Palin.
McCain’s policies, his reaching across the aisle (ad nauseum), his rebuting of his own party for using BHO’s middle name (elRushbo ‘bleeped’ Hussien in the swearing in ceremony in deference to McCain), etc., THAT is the mindset that took down the McCain/Palin ticket. And if it weren’t for the fantastic interest and energy that Sarah Palin brought to the ticket, the cornation of the Bamster could have occurred back in September.
Rush’s lack of formal endorsement of McCain only made me respect him more. He (Limbaugh) does not waver in his principles!!!
Also, I am currently a registered Dem here in PA. Why? Because of Operation Chaos...by the time the PA Primary came around, McCain had it locked up (though I wanted to vote for Palin); Hillary still had a chance here (and she took PA by almost ten points). I voted for Hillary in the Primary...if more had (in other states) maybe we would have Clinton redux (sheBill has sooooo many enemies, that I trully still feel that she could not do the harm that the Annointed One can). When will the media vet or question the Messiah? Would they have done the same w/Hillary? No.
