Why Rush Limbaugh is a leading American intellectual

That Limbaugh guy talks too much.

[caver]

Great article!

[Man50D]

He is a public intellectual in the old sense: A fine, original thinker who constantly reveals new truths that slip past the mindless media.

It doesn't slip past the socialist media. They purposely omit the truth to suit their agenda.

Had a liberal friend recently tell me that Rush was a “hater”...I asked him for an example...he said he’d never actually listened to him...but he drew this conclusion from the mainstream media.

Typical.

No one salutes Rush more than I do and the depths of his knowledge continue to surprise me.

But, if he does not cover the BC controversy this week in- depth he will disappoint much of his audience.

[Oratam]

He’s also very funny.

Rush has consistently failed to identify, name, and educate his listeners about America's **greatest** threat: MARXISM!

Thankfully, in the past year he is finally taking a few pot shots at government schools. ( Government schools, by the way, are the Marxists’ most important and powerful weapon.)

He has also failed to educate his listeners about Obama’s birth certificate issues. This utterly mystifies me.

I tend to tire of many other talk show hosts, but never tire of Rush. Even when he talks sports, which isn’t something I’m all that interested in.

When they find other, they start to learn from each other, and then you see a spurt of creativity. It only takes a few to get it started.

Great find, brilliant observation. Conversely, when liberals get together, they make [bad] laws! Stifling creativity in the process, usually with unintended consequences, which will be modified with more bad laws!

Thank you, AmericanThinker.com for this article.

Words cannot express what Rush has done for this country.

Rush, I know you read FR. I hope you’re reading this. We love you! Thank you for using your God-given talents. May God bless you richly.

WRONG...Rush has been using the world 'screwalls' for the last 20 years! tho' he may spell it different than I!

[Maine Mariner]

I am not sure why Rush has avoided the issue.
But I have one idea-one of the major forces behind the issue
is Berg. As I recall from posts here-Berg also believes that 9/11 was an inside job. Perhaps Rush does not want to give credence to anyone with that view. The MSM would attack Rush as it never has before and connect him with 9/11 “truthers”

Yeh, he is.....

Especially compared to some body like 0’pinhead, etc., etc.

[al baby]

That old windbag is a intellectual

[rodguy911]

He has also failed to educate his listeners about obama's birth certificat issues.this utterly mustifies me.

Many of us are mystifiyed by this.

It's not as if he has to take a stand or go ballistic like some of us do, but at least present the issues and let his listeners know what is going on. That should not be asking too much.

One of the liberal gals at work was talking about something “Rush did or lied about”. I can’t remember the exact thing she mentioned, but I went onto my Rush 24/7, looked it up and found the transcript she was talking about.

Of course, the liberal gal read about “what Rush did or lied about” from the nyt, so I showed her the transcript.

Her response.....”Oh”.

Had a liberal friend recently...

I have no liberal friends, I find that they are incapable of true friendship. Have some liberal extended family members though with the same disorder. Some are union members that recently voted themselves out of a job (another company bought out their company, retirement funds and all--no retirement left) so the immediately blamed Bush...

[rodguy911]

Berg has become a bit player with the Cort/Donofrio cases coming up.

[Rappini]

You may be right but I don’t think Rush would agree that he is in the same league as William Buckley, eventhough I think he is.
