I feel bad for his family and friends, but personally, I could not take his opinions. I understand I'm in Redland, but he rarely, if ever, tried to discuss both sides of an issue. I think he promoted obvious falsehoods which did not calm the storm.

Haters will always hate. Rest in Peace, sir. You did your best.

From all accounts a wonderful person and very very generous. He reminded me a lot of my father who was also from Missouri. RIP

When you spew hate, people will hate you back. He loved being hated so he could perform his caller abortions.

He discussed the side that you would never hear. To hear “ the other side” just turn on any news outlet. Even the news at the top and bottom of the hour on his show.

He was not a reporter
He was a conservative talk show host.......he was not on the air to tell both side that’s what reporters are for.
He was standing up the the silent minority and he did a great job and getting our voices out
The Conservative Godfather

Rush gave millions of dollars to Tunnel 2 Towers and various other wonderful causes. Even if you did not agree politically with him, how could anyone possibly disparage him. Especially in this past year after his diagnosis, Rush taught me a lot about the value of life and thanking God for every day that we have. RIP dear Rush.
