Levin is great at explaining the laws that have already been passed and the constitution.

Rush is great at explaining politics, which is totally different than laws and construction. Politics is, practically speaking, how those of like minds preserve the policies they want, how to enact new policies, and how to win votes and influence people. Rush is just so damn good at right leaning politics. There’s nobody better. Plus he’s truly engaging and entertaining.

He has certainly been on message today finally. It's taken him a while to catch up with Sean about "the conspiracy". The latter was way ahead of the crowd on this one.

He is intelligent, can formulate his thoughts clearly, and find the material to fill hours of material every day. The last part is truly remarkable to me. To stay so up to date on politics and interpret it and discuss it day in and day out is a true gift.

Just using the internet I'm often days or weeks ahead of Rushbo! It's because he is pretty cautious about he says on the air...

Rush is in a class by himself. His instincts are impeccable. What sets him apart is his fundamental understanding of what Leftism actually is. He understands the psychology. And he believes in an Aspirational America, he loves that America, he reveres it's traditions, principles, ideals and Institutions and he's profoundly saddened to see them under constant Leftist siege. And he expresses that as well as anybody has ever done it on radio.

Personally I revere the man and am eternally grateful for the Master Class he has provided our culture. And I'll defend him publicly against all his effete, yappy critics.

No one can see through liberals like Rush can. The man can brilliantly annihilate the left.

You could have said that about Levin too and I’d have agreed with you as well.

I like Rush’s story, it’s very relatable and he does say shite that I think about on a daily basis. He keeps it more PG than I would be able to though lol.

There's no doubt about what you say. I listen most every day for the entertainment. btw, I was in an RV on an Indian Reservation in northern Calif. not too far from "his adopted hometown" when he first started out there. It was funny because NPR public radio was on the air just an hour different than Rush. The contrast was so different that it was mind boggling to me at the time. Life itself can be quite entertaining sometimes.

He's one of the last people on political talk radio who actually rose up in the old school radio business.

He turned that on its ear and many people have since tried to duplicate what he's doing, but almost none of them have the background in being trained in radio communication like he did. They all tend to come from elsewhere.


That's a very astute observation. EIB baby!

As I have said before, my test for radio talk shows is simple: 'Did I learn things that I didn't know before?'
The answer 'yes' comes from:
Rush
Mark Steyn

The answer 'no' comes from all the rest. So I no longer listen to anyone but Rush and Steyn.

1. Uses humor. I get tired of Levin after 20 minutes even when I agree with him. Levin only knows one speed. Rush uses humor quite skilfully as few can do.

2. Well read. Early on, Rush went to Buckley and got a reading list from him. Probably better than most college educations. Much more widely read than Hannity and it shows.

He says what others believe but are scared to say for fear of being politically incorrect.

I wonder why I never hear of a National left wing y’all radio show? Or why all the left wing news sites/channels are losing followers like it’s a plague?
