I had to go to the Wayback Machine to bring this back to FR. The photos on the thread are not available. We had a great time that night meeting Rush and his brother David. God bless the Limbaugh family.

Thanks for posting. He brought me around to conservatism when I was finding my way.

Rush was a tremendous source of political insight and guidance. I listened to him for many years with great enthusiasm.

...There was a group back in the 1990s — and they still exist.
There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.
Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic.
They were known as Freepers. - Rush Limbaugh, July 3, 2013

R.I.P. Rush Limbaugh! It was an honor to meet him in person. My prayers and condolences go out to his wife, family, friends and followers. Rush will surely be missed.

Thanks for re-posting this, kristinn. WOW. Angelwood is always so detailed! Was telling friends yesterday about the first time we met Rush oh so many years ago now at David's FIRST book party!
For nearly 33 years we have had Rush riding around in our cars with us as we go about the routines of our daily lives. He was our trusted friend. I cannot imagine what life will be like without that noon to 3:00 pm anchor of my day. No matter if I got to listen every day, he was ALWAYS THERE and I knew I could get his take on things of import be it live or later on 24/7. We are blessed to have had that, and he would want us all to press forward even more-so in this time of great challenges for our nation.
Rush is now home, reconciled to his Maker. God rest his soul.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:12
To: kristinn
I remember how liberal news media use to ignore Rush Limbaugh until he challenged them on the 3 million homeless statistic they kept citing. Then they piled on! Now they had him! But Rush knew the 1990 census was coming up.
Liberal reporters and activists tried to get the homeless to hide from the census but their efforts fell flat.
It turned out to be a couple hundred thousand. No count could be completely accurate, of course but Rush Limbaugh won that hand. And it turned out the 3 million figure was made up by some homeless activist guy who admitted it. The newspapers and news TV never did any verification at all.
I was pretty shocked to learn that how bad the news was lying to me. Thanks for pointing that out, Rush Limbaugh. You opened my eyes but good with that one.

I was reading it and thought “This sounds more like Angelwood’s writing than Kristinn”. That’s what I get for not reading the heading closely enough.

In the early days of RUSH Limbaugh He did his “RUSH to Excellence “ tours the local station had him come up to “My Town” Ca to speak at the local municipal auditorium. My self and 9 or 10 other small business’ bought a advertising package that paid for his trip here and back to New York. He spoke to a packed house twice and we got to spend a few minutes with him privately....
