Rush probably receives his marching orders via email today, instead of fax as in 1994:

"In 1994, not only the Rush Limbaugh Show, but hundreds of other conservative talk shows dutifully raised the issues that Newt Gingrich's Contract Information Center faxed to them each morning about the Contract With America. Many went so far as to read them verbatim over the air. "</I.

Yep. They borrowed the idea from the DNC....

One of my college classmates was on the DNC "truth squad" in '92. He and his peers made sure that their version got out, through faxes, soundbites, and so on..........

Sorry, I don't have a link. Do you recall the item a few years ago, when Newt used to have his daily...key phrases to use, by the GOP members of the House?

Even the GOP Reps weren't aloud to speak for themselves. Newt had to put out a memo.

Yeah and if no one wanted to listen to conservative ideals, Rush would have folded. Rush started saying in public what at least half the country was already thinking.

You're just mad because NPR has to have government subsidies to survive. Take the tax payer's money away from NPR and it would be history. Why? Because it's slanted to the left. One of my employees likes to listen to it going down the road, so I indulge him.
