Oh my.
Oh please. Don’t pretend you don’t understand that statement. I guess I gave you more credit than you deserved (I should have know better based on the level of intellectual prowess you have displayed in the past).
The statement is by definition subjective and clearly there are important conservative minds and voices who could be argued as being more important than Rush. The (rather obvious) point is that Rush is a solid voice of conservative principles who is heard by tens of millions nationwide (indeed, worldwide).
It is not that he in infallible. His voice does not preach ex-cathedra.
It is that he was, and in many cases still is, a voice crying out in the wilderness. In a nation with Barry and Pelosi in charge, with a neutered GOP who haven’t the intestinal fortitude for a softball game, never mind standing up for and voicing conservative opposition, he gives focus, energy, and affirmation to conservatives (not to mention he can be a powerful agent of conversion for many liberals and moderates).
