Rush: "..No way MoveOn.org can even match Free Republic"
Rush Limbaugh Radio Program ^ | July 7, 2003 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/07/2003 10:43:40 AM PDT by Matchett-PI

Did anyone else here happen to hear Rush mention Free Republic around 1:20 PM Eastern time? I was taping his program, but the tape ran out just as he mentioned us. To the best of my ability, I'll try to remember how he led into it:

In the context of telling everyone to quit worrying about moveon.org, and the influence they have with people, he said that if you want to see what REAL influence is, just let Drudge turn his site over to activism and you will see "REAL influence".

He said that if he decided to have another "Dan's Bake Sale" type event --- you would also get to see "REAL influence".

Then he said, "Heck --- no way moveon.org can even match Free Republic" for REAL influence.

He will probably have a clip of that part of his program posted at his web site later on today.

Free Republic is show prep for the "world"

Many a time I have seen Rush take the same topic as previously discussed on "hot" FreeRepublic threads.

Yep, I heard it. I thought he was going to say more, but it was just that one sentence.

I think what bugs me is they have 60,000 people sign up online and all of a sudden...it's something new! FR has been around for years!

Hello????

Kind of makes you wonder how he managed to put his show together for almost a DECADE BEFORE FREE REPUBLIC EXISTED.

Hey, advertisers pay big money to Rush to tout them or their product! FR got it free! A true endorsement!

OHHHH YEAAAaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

I caught it... I wish he had elaborated a bit more, but.. He said it ...And I believe it!

Thanks, Jim! All those sleepless days and nights have paid off for the son of a son of a farmer, huh?

From humble beginnings, great things can be done. Count on it!

Me too, many times he reads responses verbatim. He once read one of my posts word for word, exactly, verbatim.

I heard the comment also. Based on traffic, FR is currently 815 while moveon.org is 8,452.

Yes, I heard it too. I thought he was going to expand on it some more, but he didn't.

But again, we are recognized by the leader in talk radio.

I hope the servers can handle it. The last time I remember was the mention of the photoshop pics of him and tommie dasshole on the balcony ala Michael Jjackson. Almost (or did) crashed FR, we got so many hits.

I heard it.

I think he was going to say more, but he hit a hard commercial time out just as he brought up Free Republic.

Nice to hear. And I think Rush does use this site and Drudge for show-prep.
