Rush Greeted Like Rock Star

America's top radio talker Rush Limbaugh was greeted like a rock star on Monday during an appearance in San Jose, California, while taking a few days off from his regular broadcast to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament.

The packed house at the San Jose Civic Auditorium "welcomed him with a standing ovation," reported the San Jose Mercury News. "There were no hecklers or protesters, and the only shouts were of love for the host," the paper said.

"We are in the midst of a seminal historic shift in this country," Limbaugh told the audience. "The Democrat party and the media have lost their monopoly. They don't rule the roost anymore."

The watershed political moment would have amazed his father, the top talker observed. "If my father could see what's happened today, just the sight of the Democrat party would extend his life by 10 years."

That's one reason conservatives have nothing to fear from Hillary Clinton, he assured those on hand.

Still, the GOP faces a major political problem that can no longer be ignored, he warned. "The Republicans' failure to understand the American people's building rage on illegal immigration" could give rise to a third party candidate, he said, who could tip the 2008 presidential race to the Democrats, much the same way Ross Perot's campaign did in 1992.

Limbaugh also seemed to revise earlier criticism of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for not being conservative enough, telling the audience, "I was wrong."

2,700 people paid $40 a piece to see Limbaugh live. Proceeds from the event will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a charity Limbaugh has supported since he went national in 1988.

What about Neil Peart (who, IMO, is one of the greatest drummers AND song writers in rock history), who is a libertarian?

...& not to forget that Geddy Lee is an INCREDIBLE bassist, too!

Dear Joe: The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been,
what John Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam.

Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam. His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies.. fabrications.. perjury.. fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists. Kerry's stories were outright fabrications, and were intended for political gain with the radical left..McGovern, Teddy and Bobby Kennedy followers, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and the radical left who fantasized that George McGovern was going to be elected in 1972. Little wonder that returning soldiers from Vietnam were spit upon and castigated as "baby killers".
A returned war hero said so.

Kerry cut a dashing figure as a war hero, lots of medals, and returned home because of multiple war wounds..even a silver star. His Senate testimony confirmed what every hippie had been chanting on the streets.."Hey hey LBJ..How many kids did you kill today"?????
He obviously was running for political office in 1971.

Until Lt. John O' Neil, himself a Swifboat commander, spoke out before the 1972 elections against Kerry's outright deceptions, there was no one from the Swiftboat scene that could contradict Kerry's self serving lies.

I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and I am aware that the testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical left; all caused the commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win. North Vietnamese General Bui Tin commented that every day the Communist leadership listened to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the anti-war movement. Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark gave them confidence to hold in the face of battlefield reverses.
The guts of it was that propaganda from the anti-war group was part of their combat strategy.

While the Commies were hanging on, innumerable U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Air Foce members were being killed in combat.

Every battle wound to Americans after Kerry's misdirected testimony is related to Kerry's untruthfulness.

John Kerry contributed to every one of these deaths with his lies about U.S. atrocities in Vietnam.



He likewise defamed the U.S. with our allies and supporters.

His conduct also extended the imprisonment of the Vietnam Prisoners of War, of which I was one.

I am certain of at least one POW death after his testimony,
which might have been prevented with an earlier release of the POWs.

I draw a direct comparison of General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary War, to Lieutenant John Kerry. Both went off to war, fought, and then turned against their country. General Arnold crossed over to the British for money and position. John Kerry crossed over to the Vietnamese with his assistance to the anti-war movement, and his direct liason with the Vietnamese diplomats in Paris.
His reward. Political gain. Senator..United States.

They're all great!!

And I think the whole band is libertarian to some degree or another.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Who would you believe? A Medal of Honor recipient or Rush?

[Political Junkie Too]

America's top radio talker Rush Limbaugh was greeted like a rock star on Monday during an appearance in San Jose, California...

Newsmax, get your facts right. The appearance was last night, Tuesday.

[Clemenza]

Hedgecock is BORING!

[evad]

"Shrubmanhood rolls "

LOL

[N. Theknow]

Withdrawal is what Joe and Rose Kennedy should have practiced....a lot!

[bicyclerepair]

..Ann Coulter is speaking for a boy scouts benefit in south florida.. YEAH but who can afford the $150 ticket. I'd go in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the cash!

[Hildy]

Why do you refer to Roger that way?

[DoctorMichael]

".........Roger Shrubmanhood........."

Care to elaborate?

[Kaslin]

I am sorry, but what does that have to do with Rush

[piperpilot]

I imagine next week. Tom sullivan is substituting for him tomorrow and Friday

I was afraid that was the case. I think he's the weakest of all the substitute hosts. Just plain boring, IMHO. On the other hand, I really enjoy listening to Roger Hedgecock when he's the guest host.

[Kaslin]

That's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it

[rockrr]

If the sKerry campaign taught us anything, it is that, come time, the 'rats will faithfully line up to vote, even if it is for a complete idiot.

No one liked sKerry, yet they voted for him.

No one likes sHrillary, but they will line up to vote for her when the time comes.

Our job is to:

1. Empower and encourage in order to enlarge our base.

2. Discourage and eliminate to shrink their base.

By bringing people "into the fold", and encouraging people to vote conservatively we strengthen our ranks. Crucial to this is to support quality candidates (and walk away from weak ones).

We discourage libs when we point out the utter folly of their viewpoint. When we artfully and convincingly contrast our principles and policies, and then show them how vacant their leaders' words are, they lose heart.

If we continue to insist on legal elections (instead of the evasive "fair" ones) we cull the illegal votes that have robbed us all to many times of our deserved victories.

I would remind you of Hugh Hewitt's words: "If it isn't close, they can't cheat"

[Pharmboy]

I think Roger continues to improve...

[lonevoice]

Bumpity ping.

[Kaslin]

Hmm since you are from CA, I suppose you would know. However I don't think it is important

"I am sorry, but what does that have to do with Rush"

Thomas Lipscomb is not afraid to pursue the truth about Hanoi Kerry

Rush won't pursue the truth or call for the traitor to be thrown out of the US Senate,
like the US Constitution calls for.
