That man speaks the truth and I could listen to him all day. I've gotten on the show a few times (yeah, I get bored sitting in traffic and I call) and he's always fun to chat with. Even if I disagree with stuff he has said.

What he meant was the end of HIS America.

I too could not stand the guy.

It always sounded to me like he just like to hear the sound of his own voice. And I lump Hannity in with him.

See ya.

Any reason that you omitted O'Reilly?

Back then, I noticed a few things about Rush and his show:
1. It seemed like I was listening to my Dad and that was weird.
2. No one, and I mean no one, ever contradicted anything he said.
3. Everyone who attacked him attacked his personality or his delivery style and not the message and it's still that way today.
4. KLBJ was owned by Lady Bird Johnson, wife of the late LBJ. Huge democrat family. BUT the RL show was the top rated show that KLBJ had and since it was making money, hey, hey!!
5. At the time, KLBJ had loads of liberal shows and the newscasts definately had a liberal bias but it was Rush that paid the bills.

It's been the same way with all those who followed in Rush's footsteps. Conservative talk guys are all labeled as "Conspiracy Theorists", "Hate Mongers", "Homophobes" and the list goes on. No one ever takes to task the content of the messages; only the style.

There are some I don't care to listen to because their style grates on my nerves. Michael Savage comes to mind. I really don't like listening to him because of his style but I can't ever say I've heard him say something that wasn't accurate. His conclusions sometimes I don't agree with but the facts are always right on.

I saw the Beck story on Drudge and GB isn't going anywhere. His current contract is up soon so naturally the media plays it like he's getting fired. He will probably just go into some other area with Fox and if he ends up leaving Fox, it will probably be because he got a better offer doing something else.
