Gwen Carter Clements:
Thinking of Rush Limbaugh and how now that he's dead, you never, ever hear anything about him. Nobody ever mentions anything he did. Because nothing he ever did had any value. It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. He just made anger. Every day. Rising, falling, then fading like a fart.
Then he died and was replaced by a fleet of little replicas, creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone. Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.
Steve West:
Rush was the greatest talk show host ever. It started out as 3 hours of comedy back in 1988, back when listeners who never had heard anyone go on the air and tell the truth about what was going on in American politics, we’re totally amazed and proudly called themselves “Dittoheads”, referring to the words of affirmation spoken by other callers. As in, “Good afternoon Rush, mega dittos from the state of Colorado!” Everyone LOVED Rush!
Limbaugh interviewed cabinet members, Generals and even presidents on his show! And while Rush was funnier than anyone I’d ever heard, he could also be very serious. Rush warned us about the dangers posed by certain policies, politicians and trends. He told us what we all needed to hear even when we didn’t want to hear it. He called himself “America’s Truth Detector”, and that was the truth.
Very few talk hosts have been able to recapture Rush’s magic, although Red Apple media’s 77 WABC New York has put together a staff that comes very close!
We need Rush now more than ever, in a country that’s completely lost, morally and economically. Sadly, I seriously doubt anyone will come along who can really fit into Rush’s shoes, but at least we have the memories.
Those are my memories and I’m stickin to it!
I really miss that man.
Millions and millions of people know about Rush.
This Gwen person couldn’t get a dozen people.

Rush was so valuable that he was
paid $50M/yr for 8 years beginning
in 2008, etc.
Progressives failed in trying to
start their own network (Al Franken???)
I recall when Jocelyn Elders (”masturbation should be taught”)
resigned. The news broke at 3 pm ET
on a Friday because they knew Rush
would have a field day with it.
Gwen Carter Clements is fading like a fart in the wind.....
This is IMHO the most prophetic thing Rush has ever said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7pur18_UK4
We all miss Rush.
Here’s his 5,731 radio shows at the InterNet Archive — all the Rush you could ever want...

Nobody ever hears anything about Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters or Peter Jennings or Dan Rather, etc. Those leftwing losers are a dime a dozen.
Rush created a media empire (audio, books, videos) that impact patriotic America loving families to this day.
Those other “journalist”, not so much.
Whenever I ran into someone who went on about hating Limbaugh because [________], the simplest way to shut them down was to ask “Okay, what time and station is he on?”
Nobody could answer that. “Oh, so you never actually listened to him? So you hate him for what someone else told you he said. Got it.”
Air America’s Jon Sinton in 2004: “In
a couple years we’ll have 600 stations, just like Rush.” In a couple years they went bankrupt.
04 election, Franken’s show was done live from Boston in anticipation of John Kerry’s landslide win-—oooops. Tuned in
for a couple minutes after election, they
were downcast, seemingly sleep deprived, and gloomy.
No doubt from a Xiden boot polisher. But hey, nobody’s perfect as I thought Jimmah Carter was the worst president in modern times, boy was I wrong.
Steve West? Never heard of him.
Rush Limbaugh? A great Amerlcan patriot!
Thank you ping!
Gwen Carter Clements has said, written and done nothing of national note in her entire life. This commentary by her also is without note or merit.
What a dick!
Gwen Carter Clements is one of those garden variety men fearing whack jobs who is too cowardly to post her own profile picture or create even the simplest original thoughts or memes. However, she conjured this rambling on her very own, to underscore her obtuse, sad vacant little life. No friends, no family, scant followers. Completely forgettable in every way.
Rush coalesced, galvanized and unified a huge number of Americans FR many years and was a conduit for immeasurable political achievement, progress and growth.
