Rush Limbaugh credits Free Republic for starting the Tea Party (Link to Audio)
Rush/You Tube ^ | July 3, 2013 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/03/2013 10:43:25 AM PDT by airedale

Rush Limbaugh just spent about 5 minutes talking about Free Republic as being the forerunner to the TEA Party and a group rejecting the progressive leadership of the Republican Party during the Clinton administration. Very positive.

That is one of the wonderful things about conservatives-—they respect what is around them. I was on that cleanup committee, and the police even said the place was cleaner than before we came.

He's getting paid by them!

He's doing the same shtick as Boehner, Rubio, McCain, McConnell, & co, just in a different medium.

He tightly controls what can be discussed on the program, and scoops out massive derision on any that hint about what is really going on.

I think that Rush spoke about this to help drive traffic to FR. (He also spoke about Drudge yesterday as I recall.) He had O’Keefe on and he discussed activism that can be done with little or no monetary resources.

That was my thought as well. Rush so very rarely has interview guests on his show, and usually they're fairly high up the food chain GOPers. When he had James O'Keefe on today he made it a point to ask James how his projects were funded, and then let James speak at length about it all being funded by small, private donations. He came back to the topic towards the end of the interview and gave James more time to ask listeners to help by contributing even small $5 amounts to Project Veritas, James's 501(c)(3)

I think Rush is this.close to being done with the GOP. Helping small, privately owned conservative media/news outlets, investigative reporters, and a great forum like FR is something Rush can certainly do. I expect we might be hearing more of this from El Rushbo.

You’re welcome!

Who is Special Ops Guy? Is he like the male counterpart of Belly Girl? I’ll try to find him for you (or at least a picture of him...HA!) if I know what to look for.

LOL! Yes...see my posts 143 and 144. I’m trying to locate the copy I made of that pic, but can’t find it.

Rush isn’t beholden to “them” for a Paycheck. They are beholden to Rush for a Profit.

He controls his entire Show, not Clear Channel or any other entity. They pay him Millions for the privilege of Broadcasting the Show and he maintains strict control over both the Production and the National Sponsors.

Ah, belly girl.

You’re a good man. Someone looking like that who’s conservative enough to protest?

Just wow.

Good morning. I hope you are doing well.

Buckland=Buckhead. He is an attorney that lives near Atlanta. Hence the moniker "Buckhead."

Thank you! I’m slightly embarrassed. I’ve actually been to Buckhead numerous times!
