“Chris Plante today said that he asks people who would attack someone like Rush what time of the day is Rush on and where on the radio dial is his show found? They usually do not know either of these answers because they have never actually listened to the show.”

Thank you! I heard Chris say it and it didn’t register. Tough couple of days indeed, both you nailed the Rush and President Trump links.

Why not just spell it out?

What about Charlottesville really bothers you?

Oh I agree sounds like he was more of a Rockefeller Republican before he took the case what’s funny in the interviews since the case he really does believe Trump did nothing wrong which of course he didn’t but listening to other networks you’d think he was Jim Jones or something

I think you have me confused with someone else I was pointing out before Trumps attorney took the case he never actually heard Trumps full statement on Charlottesville and only what the main networks had reported

This moron Len Nelson obviously never listened to a single hour of Rush’s show EVER.

I listened for 29 years and I NEVER heard Rush make a racist or bigoted comment. Never!

One of the more remarkable columns about Rush Limbaugh back in the 1990s — from an avowed liberal at the Shitcago Tribune, no less:

Rush to Judgment About Bigotry Unfair to Rush Limbaugh

The guy was honest enough to admit that he was peddling nonsense about Rush Limbaugh’s “bigotry” without ever listening to him on the air.

CNN or the DNC will snap him up. It won’t pay as good but he’ll have work.

That’s what I figured, so that’s why I told ETS.

It must be difficult to carry that much hate for another human being.

His negative feelings are a DIRECT result of the fact that as a RADIO personality he's operating at an Appleton, WI level and Rush Limbaugh was a "World Class" BIG BUCKS phenom.

His "cheap shot" negative comments about Rush are as close as he will ever come to trying to be on the same level as Limbaugh.

JEALOUSY is a BITCH!

Views on the WAPL facebook page range from
“he was right about Rush—Rush traahed people the same way” to “Len Nelson turns me off with his hateful bias; I’d tune to a talk station if I wanted politics”...from
“I’ll never listen again if you discipline him” to “Len’s critique of Rush was reasoned, not rude”.

One comment was “Rush, on daily bases (sic) expressed his views. Len has a perfect right to express his views on a fellow broadcaster. Rush was the type of person who loved to split people to one side or the other. You either loved or hated Rush. He seemed to like it that way.”

WAPL is a 100,000 watt FM rock station that does well, I believe.
Rush has been on well over 600 radio stations.His contract renewal is 2008
paid him $50 million per year for eight
years.After that he may have made slightly less.The Fluke controversy cost him a mere handful of stations.

RadioInsight has said Rush’s syndicator, Premiere will probably wait about 90 days at least before appointing a successor to the noon to 3 Eastern time slot.
There will be many re-airings of Rush segments in the near future, in tribute, along with
guest hosts appearing amongst them

Leftist hate us, folks and they demand government control us and if not they demand government murder us.

I am glad to see at least one leftist democrat pay a personal price for their hatred.

New England-based Howie Carr has also
said many criticizing Rush probably
never heard the show and couldn’t tell
you when he’s on, and on what station.

The link only works if you are on Farsebook. I was but they banned me from logging in and I have to be on to see anything.

Hmmm.... I'm always curious why some things work for me who have never ever joined Farsebook but not others. When I clck it, again this morning, it tells me to join Faceplant to connect with Trevor Fenske but it shows me the picture of Len Nelson's rant. Maybe becasue you have been banned, it detects that. You might be able to see it if you delete your Facebook cookies or use a separate computer from someone who has never jointed or used Farsebook.
