El Rushbo on Phil Donahue in Sept 1991.

It's amazing how consistently right Rush was back then on the topics we're still dealing with today.

Miss hearing this guy so much.

I remember that show. Donahue was and still is an idiot.
Daytime TV. Housewives at home loved him. He knew his market-smart.

The best thing the Rush Limbaugh estate could do is put all his programs on a flash drive and let those of us who loved him listen to him non-stop. They’re timeless. Think retirees on their morning walk(iPods). Nursing homes.

Now one can only click thru 500+ pages on the computer to go way back.

His widow, Katherine, should start a podcast, in his old time slot ... called ...

Rush is STILL Right

And, play all of the shows.

Subscribers (free/minimal charge) could listen nonstop, by year, by topic, etc.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Imagine access to 30 years worth of his programs.

I had not heard this and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I also think that in general, Donahue conducted an entertaining and informative audience participation interview ... and he gave Rush a lot of time to make his points. A good job compared to what passes as an interview with today's hosts.

Libs could only namecall even back then. Same names same tactics.

I remember this episode. It was the first time I had ever seen Rush or heard him speak. I had a friend that I talked politics with who told me “there’s a guy on the radio named Rush Limbaugh. You should listen to his show, I think you would like him.” I said “yeah, yeah, I’ll have to check him out some time” - but never did. One day I was at the gym, and Donahue’s show was on the TV they had mounted on the wall. When Donahue introduced him, it got my attention because of what my friend had said. I was a Rush fan from that day on.

The late radio icon always exposed LeftWokeazi absurdity by being absurd. Always demonstrating just how humorless LeftWokeazis were then and are now.

Def: LeftWokeazi, those who claim to be “liberal” but actually are totalitarian wannabe feudal lord neo-fascist/commies.

I first started listening to Rush around the time of that broadcast. A friend at work told me about him, so I started listening. I was shocked at how right he was about almost everything, and I really enjoyed his humorous commentary and commercials. I listened to him for twelve years non-stop and had to stop when I changed jobs. I always kept up with him and was aware of what he was doing on the radio and tv. He quite literally changed my life.

RIP, Rush.

[Thank You Rush]

I heard about Rush the same way. My husband and I had a flight school at OC Airport (John Wayne) in the ‘70’s - 90’s and when I had work to do at the school, I always had the radio on - listening to a radio talk show from L. A. One of our pilots came in one day and asked me if I’d ever listened or heard of a guy named Rush Limbaugh. He told me where to find him and I never listened to the other guy again. That was easy at 9 am to noon but after we left CA and moved to GA, it wasn’t that easy to be near a radio when he came on at noon Eastern time. Always will miss him.

It was my sister-in-law who introduced me to Rush Limbaugh in the late 1980's, I was able to catch part of his radio show before starting my afternoon shift work at a factory. I grew up in a democrat union family, and I was a registered Democrat at the time. Rush helped me (not the only influence but,) as a liberal and a global warming person, I switched out completely. By the mid 1990's I was a conservative and a non posting member here at FR.

He had an influence on me and I'll never forget him.

Great nostalgia
