RIP Rush. There will never be another like you!

You are loved, and will be missed.

and all the same liberals that pretended to care about "unity" were quick to hop on twitter and talk **** about him.

Trashy people.

Nope. Just misguided.

Doc, its my opinion these folks weren't raised right. I feel the same way about the folks that celebrated Senator McCain's death and RGB's. These people didnt learn to respect and love others, even if you disagreed with their opinions. I was raised to pray for them and offer a RIP when their time on earth was done. Some didnt have that raising and dont know HIS love.

Rush's speech at CPAC 2009 where he said he wants everyone to succeed and for Obama to fail because if Obama was successful, it will make it harder to succeed. He made the entire speech without a teleprompter:

You can only have talent on loan from God for so long

God Bless Rush

Thank you, Rush. God Bless.

Ben Shapiro, you're up.

and he was doing a segment on California environmentalists and playing the "Born Free" soundtrack in the background.

it was hilarious

Here. RIP Rush.

What happens to his show? It may have been discussed in here already so apologies if so.

I'm a huge fan of Mark Steyn and would love to see him take up the mantle.

WTAW has the details of what will happen in the short term.

The distributor of the Rush Limbaugh Show, Premiere Networks, notified WTAW that "All of Rush's audio has been extensively archived and cataloged by subject, topic and opinion. Given how timeless and insightful Rush's commentary is his producers will be able to pull segments that are relevant for each day's news cycle and allow us to feature the best of Rush for the full three hours of the program.

Premiere Networks also stated that "The familiar voices of the programs' guest hosts will be used in the show when needed to guide Rush's audio from one topic to another, but Rush will be the predominant voice heard for the three-hour Monday-Friday show, the AM Daily Update and The Week in Review three-hour show."

This will give everyone involved time to figure out what will be the eventual successor to the show.

And staff, thanks for cleaning up this thread.

I cancelled my subscription to the San Antonio "news" paper because they kept putting NY Times articles on their front page, as if what the NY Times thinks about anything is "news."

I haven't missed the newspaper in 20 years...

I listen to this every year in February when they have CPAC. Rush's passing yesterday reminded me that I had not watched it yet this year... may listen to it a little more often now

RIP Rush

Thaddeus, do you remmember the place on the 410 loop that had the Rush Bus? Had tables and chairs in the bus and Rush piped in.

I've been catching bits and pieces this week, and I could listen to this for months (if not longer). Mark Steyn segueing today's clips is terrific. I especially enjoyed the replay of Rush's interview with Clarence Thomas.

Monday, Katheryn is slated to answer calls from listeners.

I used to subscribe to the hardcopy WSJ a few years back. It got very liberal. I thought I was reading the NYT. I dropped it.

HERE

Premiere Networks said this format would last basically until the "Audience was ready to let Rush go" which I read as - the ratings really start to drop. They can lose a large chunk of the audience and still be better than anyone else out there.

It will be interesting to see how long that lasts. Right now I would think after a couple of months the lack of reaction to the days events may start to affect the ratings.

I'm still listening - for sure I'm not ready to let Rush go yet.

No, sorry - I never went to a "Rush Room." I did listen to him a lot in my pickup though, at lunch at Kelly AFB...

RIP Rush, Here

'It Was Real': Friend And Former Employee Reveals Rush Limbaugh's Journey To Faith

Quote:

"It was because he had truly wrestled through the claims of Jesus for himself, and come to the conclusion that Jesus really did die on the cross, rise again, and was the Messiah, the Savior and the King of the universe," said Rosenberg. "And having placed his faith in Christ's love and forgiveness, he now had a certain, definitive hope that he was going to heaven when he died, and peace for every day before that."

I try to remain committed to the idea what's supposed to happen will happen when it's meant to. I mentioned at the outset of this the first day I told you that I have personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

It is of immense value, strength, confidence, and that's why I'm able to remain fully committed to the idea that what is supposed to happen will happen when it's meant to.

There's some comfort in knowing that some things are not in our hands. There's a lot of fear associated with that, too, but there is some comfort. It's helpful God, is it helpful. It's helpful to be able to trust and to believe in a higher plan.

RIP Rush. You were and always will be a true patriot.

I don't know if this has been posted here, but Scot Bertram at National Review wrote a great tribute to Rush called "Rush Limbaugh's Unbreakable Bond with His Listeners"

https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/02/rush-limbaughs-unbreakable-bond-with-his-listeners/?utm_source=recirc-mobile&utm_medium=blog-post&utm_campaign=river&utm_content=more-in&utm_term=first

Early in 2020, a caller to The Rush Limbaugh Show made an unusual request.

Following a conversation with the host, he asked to speak off-air to the program's call screener, Bo Snerdley. Limbaugh, perplexed, agreed to make that happen. He later admitted a suspicion the caller was trying to "grease the wheels" to return to the show at a later date.

Instead, as Limbaugh found out during a commercial break, the caller made an unsolicited offer to donate one of his lungs to the iconic radio host, if it were to aid in his recovery. Snerdley then told Limbaugh he had been receiving similar calls from other listeners. Multiple offers, every day.

Back on-air, a clearly emotional Limbaugh was taken aback by the revelation. Perhaps even he had underestimated the power and strength of the relationship he had built with his audience over more than 30 years on the radio.

From the beginning, Limbaugh's show was a beacon for conservatives around the country, making it clear they were not alone in their thinking. In good times and bad, Limbaugh was there, whether conservatism was ascending or temporarily in retreat. The quality of the program never was dependent on who held the White House or which party controlled Congress.

Learn something everyday - did not know Chrissy was all for Rush using "My City Was Gone" - figured she begrudgingly allowed it for the cash. She did get paid a royalty every year but this is a good story.
