Rush Limbaugh has died.

Up until this morning, he was probably the most influential man alive. Despite his direct influence waning, he is a man who shaped an entire generation of conservative thought, for better and worse.

He was an American icon, he was a genius, he was a sellout and a glutton who wasn’t willing to do the right thing when it was hard.

As an adult reflecting on my childhood, I’ve come to believe that much of my brain’s wiring was influenced by Rush Limbaugh. I try to keep personal matters off of this site as much as possible, because it doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is our plan. But I have said before that as a child, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother.

My grandfather died very young, not long after sixty. Grandma had the radio on all the time, in the house and car, and back then, it seemed like Rush Limbaugh was on all day long.

Here’s an archive show from 1990. Just to give you an idea of what was going on in the background when my brain formed.

Just tell us one thing -- what in that Unz commentary isn't true? Rush not only helped the Bushes force the forever wars on us but GATT and NAFTA.

What he did was work a kind of voodoo on people, and transfer the fear of communism and the trauma of the 911 attacks into a paranoid fantasy that enveloped the minds of the average white working and middle class American.

Was he the first one to speak the phrase: "Fight 'em over there to keep from fighting them here"? Whoever invented it scrambled a lot of low-information brains.

I gottta LOL this as a pretty good application of psycholinguistics by AA himself:
