Rush was recently ranked as the 4th most generous celebrity by donating over $4.2 million dollars of his earnings in one year to charity. Weird for a guy who supposedly hates people. Over 26 years he and his audience raised over $47 million for the Leukemia and Lymphoma foundation for research. I bet some of that went help people of color and women too. His donations to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement foundations helped women, men and I am sure some minorities after they lost a father, son, daughter or mother in the line of duty.


After failed spinal surgery Rush became addicted to painkillers. This story of abusing painkillers like Oxycontin and other opiates is all too familiar today. But Rush was able to beat this demon after rehab and get back to his show. He, like many celebrities today have faced this terrible problem. However, for some reason liberals don't celebrate Rush's ability to beat this disease and have no sympathy for him as they do movie stars and singers or their own family members. They just blast him for being a drug addled racist. But Rush did beat the disease much to their consternation and experienced much success after.

Limbaugh seriously saved AM radio when FM was taking all the listeners and revenue. He somehow knew his approach could work. He gained around 20 million listeners a week and was on over 650 stations across the country. A new format was born and it literally save AM radio and created many imitators. Many say FOX news and other outlets were born due to his influence. Politicians such as Newt Gingrich and others credited Limbaugh for helping with the contract with America and helping the GOP win the house. His influence was massive and undeniable. He earned over $1 BILLION dollars in contracts to be on the the radio. He is in the Hall of Fame for broadcasters, earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom and gave generously.

This man impacted our world. Like it or not he accomplished more than most ever will. Especially those that will accomplish little more than being a festering pimple on the ass of an off topic board that they use to spew lies, hate and anger.
