After sifting thru all these posts I come to the conclusion that Rush isn't the only person full of themselves. I think his FReeper comment was a compliment, maybe backhanded but neverless a recognition of the intensity of feelings on this site. I certainly don't view it as a put down, and even if I did it wouldn't affect my respect for him. He may cross the line at times but so do we all. Seems to me that a number of the anti-Rush and anti-Bush comments are Freudian reflections of the poster. Self importance on both sides being one of the more obvious. George Bush and Rush are both patriots and for all I know are playing off each other for political gain for the good of the country. Rush does tend to be ham handed at times but the republican party needs to be thumped upside the head on a regular basis or it goes country club. Just my humble and Freudian opinion.

Wow -- a voice of reason. Too bad Rush doesn't hear from FReepers such as yourself more often. I resent the fact that the kooks are doing their best to give people the impression that they are "the face" of Free Republic.

See my post #405 (I think it is) where I link people to the audio tape where Rush says "Going Freeper on me". He has it posted on his web site now.

Another good observation.
