Literally haven’t listened to him for years. 95% of rush’s “show prep” came directly from FR and the stripes he covered I’d already read on FREE REPUBLIC (yay) between 2 hours and up to 2 days earlier!
JMouse, Rush quoted me (always the humorous posts) verbatim from FR no less than three times, that I heard. I was always absolutely flattered.
He was the person I’d most want to have dinner with on the planet for many years. I’m going to have to have my dream dinner with someone else now. See my previous above, where I give him more credit because he does deserve it.
Sadly your above post helps prove my point regarding where rush gets most of his "show prep". You are not alone, rush cites FR posters and FR posted stories ALL THE TIME!
The problem is this: rush makes 20, 30, 40 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR and a huge amount of what he talks about comes directly from FR.
Don't misunderstand me; I DO NOT begrudge his entrepreneurial, capitalism. What does bother me immensely is that while he profits hugely from FR, to my knowledge he has never made any kind of SUBSTANTIAL financial donation to keep FR up and running.
Mr Robinson is always in need of funds to keep Free Republic going. It is a non profit organization, rush (and a multitude of radio talk show hosts) makes MILLIONS of dollars off of Free Republic every year. He, along with the others are in the perfect position to help but, to my knowledge rush has never done so.
Heck rush alone could donate enough money to keep FR on the air perpetually and it wouldn't even begin to hurt his "bottom line". Given how much he personally benifits every year from FR, it is the least he could do... but, to my knowledge, he never has.
One more thing I have noted about rush over the years is that he is "all talk, and no action". The adage: "Talk is cheap" is especially apropos when it comes to rush. He talks a good gsme but doesn't ACT, or call his audience to act. Especially if it is going to affect his $ "bottom line".
This is what distinctly sets Jeff Kuhner apart. Unlike rush Jeff Kuhner isn't afraid to talk about a problem and then ACT AND CALL HIS AUDIENCE TO ACT IN ORDER TO C O R R E C T THE PROBLEM!
I will give you one example which will perfectly illustrate the distinction between Jeff Kuhner and rush:
The NFL. The NFL has consistently and willfully gone PC. It has gotten worse over time to the point where the NFL is now siding with the Anti-American, black racist, "hate America", "hate America's national anthem, "hate the police and 'law enforcement'", "hate the military", "hate 'whitey'", "ONLY Black Lives Matter", crowd!
The NFL, commissioner, the owners, the managers, the coaches, the players and the team staffs are disrespectfuly spitting on the country, their fan base and the very American ideals and traditions that once epitomized the NFL and helped establish it as an "American Institution" ON A WEEKLY BASIS! And as if that wasn't enough to stick it to the NFL's fan base and our values, the NFL added insult to injury by signing up "SPIRIT COOKING" Lady Gaga to star is the Super Toilet Bowl's "half time show". *What is involved in this Satanic practice of "spirit cooking" is so indescribably heinous and reprehensible I will leave you to look up the utterly detestable practices involved in "spirit cooking" for yourself. Be forewarned; be prepared to be thoroughly shocked and disgusted by what you find.
This is the evil, perverse woman the NFL chose to represent the NFL and headline the biggest NFL game of the year.
Concerning this issue Jeff Kuhner didn't just immediately talk about the NFL. HE PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS AND ACTED BY BOYCOTTING THE NFL, ITS "ENABLER "SPONSORS, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE NFL's MERCHANDISE, AND ENCOURAGING HIS ENTIRE AUDIENCE TO DO THE SAME BY BOYCOTTING THE NFL AS WELL FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON INCLUDING THE "Super Bowl", FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES UNTIL THE NFL RECANTS AND "RETURNS TO ITS ROOTS OF HONORING AMERICA AND AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS AND TRADITIONS". *By the way, the wide-spread NFL boycott has, and continues to seriously impact the NFL'S financial "bottom line".
rush merely briefly talked about it and did NOTHING! That is the difference.
rush wold never take this kind of genuinely impactfull action 1) Because it could potentially hurt his $ "bottom line" and 2) Because he cares more about the NFL and his personal perks, "bennies" and relationships with the NFL high mucky mucks than he does the country.
