The heyday of Limbaugh's radio show, and the best columns that Buchanan has ever written, date back to those 1992-94 days when the forces of the political world were arrayed against conservatives.

This is a bunch of crap! It is the same bullsh#$* that liberals spew.

They all claim that Clintoon made Rush what he is, the facts tell a different story.

Rush increased his share of listeners more during Bush # 1's presidency than Clintoons.

It is conservatives like Buchanan that do more harm to our cause than good. I put Buchanan in the same ilk as Timothy McVeigh, they ensure liberals success when they are successful.

Now I agree that Buchanan is not as evil as the McVeigh's of the world, but the political results is often the same.

I don't think this is a bunch of crap at all. I think I'm a pretty decent fan of talk radio, and there is no doubt in my mind that those days were the absolute best period for talk radio. Part of the problem is that you have so many Rush-wannabe imitators now that give talk radio a bad name.

Rush didn't even have a syndicated show until 1987, so that's not telling me anything. I wonder what Rush Limbaugh's numbers are today compared to ten years ago.

Part of that is because Buchanan has always attracted the wrath of liberals in the media who couldn't stand hearing what he had to say. For a real lesson in this, compare the typical media spin about his 1992 Republican convention speech to the reports that were given immediately afterward. Someone (it may have been Peter Jennings) even went so far as to call it one of the best speeches he had ever heard.
