Free Republic

Please excuse the vanity but searched and could not find answers about this elsewhere. My local AM Radio Station which has brought to the listeners in much of North Carolina and Southern Virginia, both Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's Radio programs for many years - has announced (but I only found out for sure yesterday) that it will no longer carry Rush's or Sean's Radio programs - as of 12/31/09.

Once a year I like to find out how fellow freepers came to become members of FreeRepublic.com. Because of the curtain situation with Rush's health I thought we could all ruminate on how he has affected our lives. I was always conservative, however I felt that I was in a tiny minority and kept my political views to myself. The main stream media had convinced me that I was in the minority. The day after Clinton was elected, I was in the car searching for news about the election and found Rush. I became hooked from that day forward. Rush...

Think back a year, and it seemed no one had a way with words like Barack Obama. He could fill a stadium – and did, at the 2008 Democratic national convention – with prose that blew through your doublespeak detectors as you surrendered to its splendour. It went downhill from Inauguration Day. As they settled into the West Wing, Mr. Obama's vaunted speechwriters somehow lost their touch and their boss lost his. The U.S. President now often seems as stiff as the teleprompter on which he has developed such an acute dependence. No, Americans looking for evocative language from their...

For those who missed it .... Rush Limbaugh Press Conference in Hawaii

Posted Jan 1st 2010 4:25PM by TMZ Staff Rush Limbaugh just addressed the media in Hawaii where he told reporters he did undergo an angioplasty, but he's doing just fine. He did not suffer a heart attack or any kind of coronary episode and test show nothing wrong. Limbaugh was hospitalized Wednesday night after experiencing chest pains. Limbaugh made it a point to thank the staff of the hotel he was staying at, the Kahala Hotel and Resort, and he proclaimed (several times) the U.S. has the best health care service in the world. He called the outpouring of support...

Limbaugh made it a point to thank the staff of the hotel he was staying at, the Kahala Hotel and Resort, and he proclaimed (several times) the U.S. has the best health care service in the world.

Per CNN: Rush will be holding a news conference shortly.

Picking the worst or most disappointing people of 2009 is the task that should require sincere thought, deep investigation, and fair judgment over myriad objective data. However, naming the Republican Party as the most disappointing ‘person’ in 2009 posed no reflective issues whatsoever and brings the most distaste as a third generation member of the party. Republicans continue to work toward no apparent goal except to disrupt, obstruct and demonize anything the new administration proposes. They embrace and employ Fox News to foment hatred and vitriol for issues that Republicans know are lies. When Sarah Palin lies, she lies as...

Conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh remained in "good, stable condition" Thursday after he was admitted to a Hawaii hospital for chest pains. Limbaugh's guest host Walter Williams told listeners the talk radio king "continues to rest very comfortably" at a Honolulu hospital, where doctors planned a complete medical exam.

Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh guest host Walter Williams today giving an update on Rush's condition. Williams said Rush had chest pains that felt like a heart attack, but "no heart attack has been confirmed." Williams said Limbaugh would be undergoing a full examination today in the hospital. . . .

With the hospitalization of conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, questions about his overall health and ability to maintain his radio schedule have become a matter of concern, especially to his avid followers (reportedly near 14 per week). They are questions that should be considered. What if Rush Limbaugh were unable to continue with his radio show? What if he died? Who would -- who could -- take Limbaugh's place, maintain his audience, and deliver much the same neoconservative message? News broke on Wednesday that Rush Limbaugh was rushed to Queens Medical Center, a hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii, because...

The possible primary race for John McCain's U.S. Senate seat is getting more colorful. Former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, contending that former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth is violating campaign laws by promoting his possible bid on his radio talk show. "There's no problem with someone in his position talking about the issues of the day and the issues that are important to the country, but essentially, you've got a situation where Hayworth is spending hour after hour, day after day, promoting his possible candidacy for the U.S. Senate while a...

One of the most bizarre things that’s happened to us in the last two years were the occasions when Rush Limbaugh read things we wrote on the air and called us “those HillBuzz babes in Chicago”. One of our friends was driving in her car, listening to him live on the radio, and had to pull over, because she couldn’t believe her ears. Being lifelong moderate Democrats, people who DESPISED Limbaugh in high school, college, and most our adulthood, our friend realized at that moment how surreal things had become, with worlds colliding left and right. “Dear God in Heaven,...

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was taken to a hospital with chest pains on Wednesday, a Honolulu television station reported. Paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from the Kahala Hotel and Resort where Limbaugh is vacationing, KITV reported. The station, citing unnamed sources, said Limbaugh was taken to The Queens Medical Center in serious condition. Queens spokeswoman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to comment on the report. Emergency Medical Services spokesman Bryan Cheplic said paramedics took a male of unknown age to an area hospital from the Kahala Hotel and Resort. He said...

2009 was an extraordinary year in which ordinary people did extraordinary things not because they were the easy things to do, but because they were the right thing to do. The people ranged from young Hannah Giles who jump-started her journalism career by donning a hooker’s garb to bring down the racketeer influenced corrupt organization known as ACORN, to Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III, who culminated the decades of his life that he worked toward airline safety simply by landing a engineless plane on the Hudson River. Michael Paul Mizzone, a carpenter’s business representative, pulled Josef R. Bruckuf, 82, out of...
