"I guess the phrase "ignorance is bliss" had to be coined by a dumbed-down dittohead because it sure applies to most of his listeners and you seem to fit the profile

Ok. I have only heard Rush around a dozen times in the last 5 or 6 years. I listened when I heard he was going deaf. I wanted to see how he handled that difficulty. He was/is amazing in his ability to not only cope with his affliction but to weather the derision of his performance while he kept his illness a secret. Kudos to him (notice I did not say Dittos)

As to the measure of what a Liberal is.

I have been called a Nazi and Facist in Graduate school, in the 70's because of my belief in Austrian Economics and the rule of the MARKET (Free Market is redundant, since a true market can only be free) True the Market of today is hindered and attacked but basically it is free of the restrictions that existed/exist in our planets current and past history. To call me Liberal, unless you are speaking in language of the nineteenth century is idiotic. But of course you would have no knowledge of that because your brush paints such a broad stroke that it includes most of us sheeple that listen to Rush. You are the true conservative while the majority of Rush’s 20 million listeners do not come close to your ideological purity. Oh by the way many of us who listened to Rush did it because we found a voice that said what we thought. He spread it over the airwaves bringing like minded people together.

You had to be there when his show first came to my hometown of Baltimore, the bastion of Liberalism in the Republic of Maryland. He was not just a breath of fresh air. He was a calling cry of defiance to those who thought as I did. But you do not see this. Sad, tear down your allies, cut up your fellow Freepers. Better that you be a Liberal than an enemy from within causing derision and shifting the focus of arguments and discussions. Rotting us from within. So close to victory (with a very small v) but knock away. Go vote for a Buchanan or some other purer Repub. Wait for the golden age while you carp at the opportunities now open to us. Rush sir is one of those opportunities. And opportunity only knocks once. But then you only knock…knock …..knock

I don’t think anyone will answer your call

But I do understand, which is why I am sometimes critical of some of the things that Dubya is trying to do. So I don't exactly march in lock step with the man in the White House either.

It would seem that you and I may agree more than I had originally thought.

As for Rush, a blowhard he is not. Informative he is, as are other conservative talk show hosts. In the end they all talk about those things which you and I are concerned about, albeit not all at the same time.

Cheers be on you.

It's ironic - I've never been able to listen to him because I developed hearing loss when I was 30 yrs. old. When I heard about his hearing problem I was afraid he wouldn't be able to continue. Thankfully, his hearing loss was correctable.

My research indicates that he is actually a Junior.

I Googled "Limbaugh III" and got 850-some references like this one:

http://www.talkwire.com/Hosts/rush1.htm

He was born Rush Hudson Limbaugh III on January12, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to a family with generations of attorneys.

Some may detest Rush, but he is responsible for MANY people awakening to the crap propagated by the left.

Longtime best friend and FReeper Bacon Man convinced me to listen to Rush back in the day. I couldn't stand him; I made myself listen on the know-your-enemy theory.

Eventually, gradually, he grew on me . . . and the first time I heard "In a Yugo," I had to pull over, I was laughing so hard.

[Xenalyte]

Let me guess:
Skull and Bones...
The Illuminati...
The CFR
The Trilateral Commission.

"Oh, Mr LaRouche...please save us!"

You left out the Bilderbergers! (fnord)

[cubreporter]

That's right. They ARE always angry AND nasty too! Rush is a hero. They are just all afraid of him because he speaks the truth instead of spewing hatred and lies. Go Rush...your're the man!!!!

The real Angry White Male.

"The real Angry White Male."

Gephardt is a 'has-been.'

Rushton Hudson Limbaugh the Third . . . cool name, that.

Hmmmm, I wonder if he's related to Henry Hudson. If so, that means we're related, too (distantly); he's my 11 X great uncle. Henry is, not Rush.

[american spirit]

My source is Cong. Tom Tancredo who took a fact finding mission to Az. and was briefed by members of the Border Patrol. I heard the man describe his trip there on a talk show and I invite you to contact his office or do a search on his fight against illegal immigration, something very few Congress critters or certain talk show hosts lack the stones to do. Prove me wrong or else sit down and SHUT UP!

[stands2reason]

I was almost sorry when he got married, even though I am happily married.

For me he's a little too old---the pundit I'm sad is married even though I'm happily married myself is Mark Steyn. Brilliant, funny, and cute. :-) All I can say is, I hope his wife sure appreciates him!

[stands2reason]

If you don't listen to the program, how do you know what he doesn't talk about?BTW, I'm a disinterested bystander here, not a "Rush-bot". All I the info I have about him is what I read. Your invective seems particularly hostile and it renders your opinions suspect. You haven't offered anything but ad hominems so far.

[Clemenza]

Ah, Sam Francis from Chronicles. Good to have you aboard!

Now I will go and watch my videotape of Rush's highlights from his TV show, after I wipe my a-s with Buchanan's latest column.

[stands2reason]

I used to get mad, now I just shrug him off or laugh, he's a joke.

Wow. I felt exactly the same way!

[american spirit]

Sir, all I can say is that I learned a long time ago not to get caught up in the liberal/conservative canard which is nothing more than a careful orchestration of an idea that there really is a delineation of political parties. In fact, the perfect metaphor for this whole idea is the marriage of James Carville and Mary Matalin, you know the flaming liberal vs. the ultra-conservative during the day, then at night they both hop in the same bed laughing about their ongoing con job on the American people. Hell, we probably see more reality from professional wrestling than some of this nonsense. As for you, believe what you want but I can tell you even the content in Free Republic far exceeds anything you've ever heard Rush speak about on his program.

FR has archives that back up everything I've posted previously on illegal immigration, property rights, disastrous free trade, Gramsci and the creeping socialistic policies of this gov't, the un-Constitutional fiat money system, etc. I highly suggest you do you your own research and discover your own truths about this country because the EIB isn't up to the task.

[american spirit]

And in your case "useful idiot" is even more accurate.

[Hila]

Long live Rush, under the shadow of the Almighty.
