“If it weren’t for Rush there most likely would never have been a conservative movement the size it is today.”
The conservative movement elected Ronald Reagan long before anyone had heard of Rush Limbaugh. If anything in the years since the size of the movement has gotten smaller, in no small measure thanks to the Bush GOPe for whom Rush was a loyal waterboy.
There would have been no Rush if Ronald Reagan had not pulled a fast one and scuttled the Fairness Doctrine as they were all going on recess.
My understanding is that Roger Ailes came up with the concept for this show, went host-shopping and selected Rush.
“If anything in the years since the size of the movement has gotten smaller”
BS. Who do you think you’re talking to anyway, a bunch of ignoramuses??
Rush educated and woke up millions of people who otherwise did not even knew what the term ‘conservative’ was.
