When Rush came on the in scene in the late 1980’s he really was a breath of fresh air, for conservatives there had never been anything like him before, a national conservative advocate which was also entertaining. Before that our only choices where conservative magazines or “dry” conservative intellectual shows late night on PBS. The problem is that time and technology has passed Rush by, conservatives now have endless options (websites, podcasts, blogs etc.)for conservative thought and discussion. Rush is now just “that old guy your grandma listen’s to on AM radio”.

I listened to Rush as a kid...late night radio. He re-invented AM radio when there was absolutely nothing on. I can't take his show anymore though....it's been years since I've tuned in.

Different format, but I always liked how Phil Donahue let callers speak their mind. I know PD is very liberal, but he appeared to let guests and callers explain themselves. Rush is the opposite where he dominates with a monologue that seems increasing slow paced. The cable news channels line up two or more guests and yell over each other.

I've pretty much tuned out....FR is my go to source for news.
