45,000 E-mails and Counting – Thank You

October 6, 2003

2:08 PM ET BEGIN TRANSCRIPT Rush Limbaugh Radio Show

Let me again express a sentiment of pure love and appreciation for all of you. Since last week, when the ESPN brouhaha hit and the drug story hit, the number of e-mails is unbelievable to me. It's approaching the 45,000 mark now. I continue to be overawed by it.

And I just want to take some time here to acknowledge a vast majority of people's support. It is overwhelming. And I want you to know I'm getting it and I receive it. It moves me deeply and greatly. I appreciate it, as I have your support of this program all 15 years, more than I am able to express with words. And I just want you to know that. I never have said it enough, and I want to try to correct that from now on, but I said last Friday that we in this program, we have almost a familial type relationship that has evolved here, and I understand what that entails. And I understand the bond of loyalty that exists and what ties that loyalty together, and one of the things is trust. And I realize that that is shaken in a lot of you, but yet you maintain that you are full-fledged behind me. And I appreciate that, and you will have that support, I hope, validated. You will know that I have continued, and will do what I have to do to earn it, and never take it for granted.

Before we get any further with all this I just want you to know how I appreciate what you're all saying, how much I appreciate all that you've done over all these years and how desperately much I appreciate your expressions of support now. Believe me. I notice it and I'm taking none of it for granted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You bet RUSH has my support....I sent him an email on day one.

You and me, both!!

So I am not in the "Know" is it possible to email him without being a member of Rush 24/7? If so how?

[ApesForEvolution]

He ain't perfect, but there ain't 100,000 FReepers added up worth one Rush.

[ApesForEvolution]

Sorry, couldn't stop laughing at you long enough to point out all the things you've done to advance conservatism in America. There, I just pointed them all out...

[ApesForEvolution]

Ruff, ruff...grrrrr. (Bite!~)

[witnesstothefall]

Obviously you know all the facts behind Rush's current problem.

You said he has a problem, not me. So what is Rush's problem and who's your sources for saying so? To me he's just a clown so his problems are comedic to me.

I've made no claim to special knowledge and have none to make. It's been self-evident for many years that Rush Limbaugh would self-destruct and ultimately bring dishonor upon the conservative movement.

This eventual outcome is my entire reason for any lingering interest in the man or his cult of personality. It was entirely predictable that employing a clown in the political arena instead of a circus arena would come to no good. Now it has and frankly, the ditto posts here are mostly also entirely predictable.

[RightOnline]

Oh, get over yourself.

[AlwaysLurking]

email Rush at:

rush@eibnet.com

that should get to him....

[JulieRNR21]

I sent mine early last Thursday morning....the subject said:

Praying 4U.....Hang in there!

WHAT A NAME

Your strange post was confusing to me, though I'm sure you meant to insult me somehow. Your wit is over my head I guess.

Making fun of people's names stopped being effective around the second grade. Making fun of somebody's handle is another level of infantilism altogether. Please try again.

[TexasTransplant]

Thank you

 

(Thats way too simple, I was looking for somthing much more difficult, more envolved.)

[Becki]

Hi Tex!

His email address is rush@eib.net.

I am sure he would love to hear from you!!

Dear Witness

Rush did indeed drive away the moderates. It was what we wanted.

Yes, indeed, we do have a net gain. Count them. There are three branches of government. We own two.

[witnesstothefall]

So the (razor-thin) Senate majority and Bush's victory in Florida (where I marched btw) are thanks to dittoheads driving away moderates?

Delusions can be, but are not always, dangerous.

[TexasTransplant]

Thank you, I have added my email to his stack of stuff

[ApesForEvolution]

or is it rush@eibnet.com?

[Conservababe]

Rush didn't create conservatism, he capitalized on it, early and well. Only in that regard will I concede his genius.

Rush learned conservatism at his dinner table, along with his brother, David, from his father.

Rush was a DJ at fifteen years old here in Cape Girardeau and went on to other jobs. He was fired many times, seven I think.

But, when he finally convinced someone to give him his own radio program without a regular run of the mill format, he chose a conservative format without guests. His Dad lived long enough to hear him just a couple of times. He asked "where did he get all this from?" and his Mom said "from you". And when his Dad asked "why is he so acting so silly?" his Mom said "he got it from me, dear".

Rush Limbaugh's conservative roots go back to his childhood, deah.

I've listened to many many hours of Rush, fyi."

Ah, excuse me; but the folowing are your words; not mine. . .

"I've never been able to take more than 5 minutes of his empty pomposity."

As for " He's simply not a serious person, though he's in a serious business - politics". . .

the fact is; you only have to listen to his monologue to know that Rush is more than serious about his politics; he is passionate about his politics; and were it not first for his passionate commitment to 'Truth', I doubt that he could survive the longevity of his own show.

Handling the garbage of Liberalism day after day is painful of, and in, itself.Trying to present the truth of this garbage in a way that is worthy; entertaining, enlightening and motivating; requires far more than a simple humility; it requires 'passion' and some 'bravado' as well.

So if you cannot hear the 'humility' of Rush; and you hate his bit of 'showtime bravado'; and you do not value his diligence at sorting the 'truth from lies'; why not just listen to Public Radio?

[Becki]

I've seen that one, too, but it came back right away as user unknown. The eib.net one went through.

Huh!

[witnesstothefall]

I haven't said Rush in not a conservative. He is. I've read a lot of his bio background too btw.

I have said he is a clown. The implications of a clown being in his position have not been dealt with on this thread. The consequences of a clown being in his position are self-evident. And entirely predictable.

Honestly, Rush would have been better off just being himself. It's certainly debatable whether he'd have been as successful, of course.

And my entire argument tonight btw, is premised giving Rush the benefit of the doubt on any charges against him. The nature of his media persona, distinct from Rush Limbaugh the private human being, spelled trouble from the beginning. 'Least I felt that way since around '92 or so when I first became familiar with him.

I use the word 'clown' b/c it's more than apt. A clown is sure to eventually make a fool of himself, and even more sure to make a fool of those taking him too seriously.

[Conservababe]

Rush is himself. You are the clown. You have made a fool of yourself.
