I sincerely wish that Don McLean would rename his Chevy to the Levy tune to:

"The Day The Real Truth Died!!!"

It was the least crappy one I could find. The rest were pathological. FNC had a memorial broadcast for him, with close friends and associates giving him the respect he deserved. Marc Levin wept into his airtime. Laura Ingraham recalled how he got her through her fight with the same disease. Newt was on, too.

My father introduced me to Rush when I was a kid in the USN. He sent me a subscription to The Limbaugh Letter. I lost my father to cancer in August, and my mom is in stage 4 lung cancer herself. Terrible disease.

Though I knew this day was coming, I am just so busted up. It’s selfish to think about never being able to tune in to El Rushbo ever again and hearing his true words of wisdom. But he is in a better place, and we are left here to pick up the mantle and take up the fight to save our once great nation.

One of my best memories of Rush is Rush selling a letter critical of him for $2.1 million on ebay. The letter was signed by 41 rats.

Here’s the details:

RIP, Rush.

In every walk of life, there’s one guy born to do it better
than just about anyone else. Rush was the guy for radio.

From now on when we listen to a radio program, at some
point we’ll think of Rush, and what we will be missing.

repost:

...There was a group back in the 1990s — and they still exist.
There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.
Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic.
They were known as Freepers. - Rush Limbaugh, July 3, 2013

January 1989...vacationing in Florida (West Coast,around Sarasota)...driving down I-75...I happened to tune to WFLA in Tampa...and there he was.

After having listened for about 45 minutes I shouted "Good God,this guy thinks just like me!"

From that moment I was hooked.

Me too. What a loss to America and the world -— and to me. Rest in peace, dear Rush.

If Rush had died while President Trump was still in office, the flags would be at half mast and he would have a state funeral and lay in honor under the Capitol rotunda — and the Capitol would be open for the people to pay their respects.

You did a singular job and have left a massive void. Rest in Peace, Rush.

(Raise your hand if you had the honor of talking to Rush on the air. I’d often wondered how many times I’d heard FREEPERS on the air.)

I would love to see Rush’s remains travel on a paddle river boat up the Mississippi River to Cape G.

Hallelujah!
Earlier, I was looking at a Jewish message that said don’t focus on the darkness, focus on the light. I wanted to post something about Rush bringing light, but the word that occurred to me was harbinger. No clue what it meant. It means forerunner. Rush is the forerunner of the light? Makes sense, this spiritual message.

Yes, yes and actually those of us lucky enough to have been in the medium and still visit it from time to time we know who created it. Who wrote the book. Who set the pace showed us how far we can go and no further,how to succeed,how to treat the audience,callers, sponsors,the business end. Rush knew it all. He literally wrote the book and was the author.

#1. Well, I have word for “Matt”. Why don’t you shove your vile mouthings where the sun don’t shine, i.e. up your ass?

Chicago Sun-Times. Once a newspaper. Today, a dog’s crap pad, and you Matt, are that dog’s piss mat too.

I plan to record a total of three hours of my own thoughts and observations on Rumble as a tribute to Rush. If each of us do that or something similar, it might make on occasional leftard’s head explode, and be a fitting commemoration to a great man.
