So glad Rush was given that honor before he left. God bless his family.

52 Years Young and this still gives Me Happy Tears. Damn I miss Rush.

I've never agreed with all he said and I think he would have liked that. I admired him. He was articulate, decent, flawed and impeccably dedicated to the ideals of Conservatism at its best. I used to drive a lot for work and would usually tune into him (before Apple-Play) and never once did someone who called to poke him or pick at his views get treated poorly or disrespectfully. That shows the man was genuine. He was at peace with who he was and what he was. And that is perhaps the greatest lesson I've always taken from him. He is missed.

Such a legend and teacher of critical thinking! His guidance shall be missed. America has just lost a great treasure.

Rush Limbaugh. Thank you for all you’ve done for freedom and truth.

[TimeWarp]

I’m listening here on 12/13/24. And yes, I am still a proud MAGAt, deplorable, dittohead and thankful to have listened to Rush all those years.

Rush would be so happy this week! Miss you, Rush!

What a great thing Trump did. Pelosi in retrospect is such a spiteful person.

[SiuHang]

That reaction from Pelosi absolutely makes me sick. You can disagree with your president, but disrespect someone who receives the honour is really wrong.

An American hero and patriot with a never wavering support for America and her constitution. From Canada RIP sir your watch is over hopefully someone else with the kahunas will step up.

[kathleentruman]

[cathyknotts]

I first started to listening to Rush when he first came on the radio in Michigan. That was in 1988. I was 19 or 20 then. I am fortunate enough to have seen him live at his Rush to Excellence Tour in ‘89. It was like a rock concert for political nerds. That event was as amazing as Rush was.
It was an amazing time when Rush first showed up. He continued to amaze all the way through.
Rush was my hero; throughout my life I have had very few actual hero’s.
I was always interested in the political arena. He taught me SO much and even helped shape me as a man.
Mega Heavenly Dittos!!
Say hello to your Grandfather.
Today you are returning your talent.
I am sure you are now kneeling at Gods RIGHT side!
Thank you for everything.

[stephanieparsons]

A man that cared about the integrity of truth!! He will be missed!!

[Carrjimbo]

You know politics is toxic when one side can't even clap someone with stage four cancer.

[Theseroarings]

Remembering You General, this fine morning, Wednesday November 6, 2024. We share this Victory with you.

[markmokris]

There will never be another Rush Limbaugh.

[mikeklondike]

Rush will be missed.
There will never be another Rush. On one can replace him.
May God Bless his wife and family
