Rush Limbaugh: Jim....What's His name, Free Republic Got Banned at CompuServe And...
Rush Limbaugh
July 24, 2012
Rush is talking about the early internet and mentions Jim Robinson and Free Republic.
Free Republic Rules!
LOL!
Yup, twit birther...spends more time complaining that everyone isn’t a birther than exposing Obama’s faux birth info.
First of all - you don't know that. Second - even if it was true - so what? Rush probably scans the Washington Post and liberal rags as well every day as part of doing his job. Rush has an incredible memory. If he doesn't remember something then it must not be important to him. Anyone that doesn't know who the Robinsons are can not be considered FReepers.
LOL - THAT is really funny! I keep thinking about that too.
Don’t forget ROLM who was building hardened computers for the military in the 70’s and went on to build one of the best PBX’s ever, with many still in use today even at a Seagate.
In fact, they were the 1st PBX manufacturer who successfully integrated Voice Mail with the PBX seamlessly.
I don’t hate, love, or like him. Nor do I dis love or dislike him.
He is what he is.
Diff people think differently of him, no biggie.
Just diffusing some falsehoods.
LOL I wan’t trying to insult you, if I was you would certainly know it lol
It’s an insult to anyone reading your posts to try to understand them, kinda disjointed. Sorry, it’s a fact.
You were posting to me? Or ah bollocks???
The biggest miss of all was failing to patent the Ethernet networking protocol.
Nice thought, but I’m also glad he uses this material.
Ooops, sorry Whitey. Your sarcasm was lost on me due to white wine. I am one of those who needs a “/s” before dinner, lol.
Ditto!!!
Thank you onyx. I’m very flattered in a good way of course.
One of the reasons that I finally joined FR is because of the vast amount of knowledge to be found here.
We have some very diligent FReepers that dig and find the truth in a world where the MSM tries its very best to feed us a bunch of spin and out-right lies to further their Leftist agenda.
Good summation in #187
I do know that.
Cling to your willful ignorance, and anti-freeperism.
You’re most welcome. Your graphic is awesome and so very true and ditto your comments to me.
BTTT.
Rush and Olbermann should share mnemonic techniques for remembering names.
I’m not making excuses for Rush nor implying he did anything on purpose, but thinking positive, Rush spending that much time ‘bungling’ the name would cause people to Google it just out of curiosity. It could drive new members. Hopefully there were no weirdos like UFO posters right after he did that. :->
bollocks, bollocks and more bollocks, in the end it;s all bollocks.
Your replies don’t seem very connected to the content of my posts to which you’re replying, so it’s not exactly easy to try to interact with you.
My original post you took issue with was me saying that Rush has a fondness and affection for FR and for Jim.
Now it seems you want to argue whether or not Rush is a FReeper? And your requirement for what constitutes a FReeper is someone who knows the first name of JimRob’s son? Did you mean his son John, or his son Chris? If that’s your criteria for what constitutes a FReeper, I’ll politely disagree with you based on my own personal real life knowledge of a few monthly donors, regular lurkers and sometime contributors who I can guarantee don’t know the first name of either of Jim’s sons. But that’s irrelevant anyway because I didn’t see anyone, least of all me, claim that Rush is a FReeper. Just you arguing that he’s not.
As for Rush not being able to retrieve someone’s last name from his memory banks being an indication to you that he doesn’t have fondness and affection for FR and Jim, again I’ll politely disagree with you. That would be based on my own 15+ year history of being a regular listener to Rush’s show. As I said previously, I’ve OFTEN heard him have trouble recalling someone’s name off the top of his head (as recently as just yesterday a couple of times in fact).
As far as Rush being VERY familiar with FR, and having spoken of it a number of times over the years, including today, with fondness and affection, that’s just a fact.
Heard this live in the car today ...
