Notice that FreeTally hasn't listened to Rush in at least 6 years. There are a lot of people on this forum who don't listen to Rush but claim to be experts on what he is thinking. Rush explained his views on NAFTA and GATT, apparently, FreeTally wasn't able to refute them, so he just quit listening.
I didn't mean to make it seem as if I had not listned to him in six years, I just pretty much listened to him every day for two or three years straight. He opened my mind to many topics I never had interest in or knowledge of. He just falls short on some issues where he has to appease corporate bosses(GATT, NAFTA are two). I started reading about and researching many topics he would never touch on, and would laugh at callers who asked him to(NWO, drug legalization).
I also had listened to him as a news source. Nobody really had the internet back in 1992-1994. Now, with the proliferation of the internet, and Free Republic, he is just a mouthpiece with an ego. I dont need "his" opinion on anything, because, as I said, he is just mimicing what most intelligent people KNOW.
I used to love talk radio. But, there are very, very few shows that are not "about the host". Rush's entire show is three hours of "look at me, listen to me, hey this is about me". Its fine until you realize that he just says the same thing over and overn again.
