'You didn't have to like or even listen to Rush Limbaugh to be affected by what he did. Conservative talk radio wasn't a genre before him. Without him, it's hard to imagine a Fox News, or a President Trump, or a media landscape defined by shouters...'

NEW YORK — You didn't have to like or even listen to Rush Limbaugh to be affected by what he did.

Former Vice President Mike Pence told Fox he was inspired by Limbaugh to become a talk radio host himself, which launched his political career. Ex-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany reminisced about riding as a child in her father's pick-up truck as Limbaugh's show played on the radio.. “There are tens of thousands of us all across the conservative movement.”

“There is no talk radio as we know it without Rush Limbaugh. It just doesn't exist,” said Sean Hannity, who has 15 million radio listeners beyond his Fox News Channel show. “And I'd even make the argument in many ways: there's no Fox News or even some of these other opinionated cable networks.”Politics seemed second to entertainment in Limbaugh's early years.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin called Limbaugh “a tremendous patriot.” Once a universally accepted compliment, the term “patriot” has become more complicated through its use by some of the rioters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Nope. He screwed everybody equally, & at will. Glad he's gone. The air just got a little clearer.

Rest In Peace.

What? Do you want us to shed a tear or two for a heartless hateful piece of racist crap who had no problem mocking the sick the dying & spent his life promoting hate to the point we almost had a dictator like Donald Trump in office who ended up committing a deadly insurrection?

Limbuggs will not be missed.

Is that conservative speak for if we say you like him you like him like him or not? We who do not like him do so because we didn't like him so we didn't listen to him, ergo, we didn't like listening to him. Only haters listened to him, he fed them copiously.

Good riddance in my opinion

Ewww

Outrage radio started with him. Millions of poisoned minds came along with the ouster of the fairness doctrine.

Those are his achievements nonetheless. Good riddance!

Be right back.

Yahoo - huge fan. I get all of my political information from you. I like how you take the logical approach to politics by not taking sides. Only an absolute fool would look at political issues from a biased perspective.
