Althouse: "This is no 'crackup.' It's a crackdown."

October 17, 2005

Is the split among conservatives over Harriet Miers hurting the conservative cause? Here's the Rush Limbaugh argument that it's helping.

Ann Althouse said...: Jim: Conservatives didn't give Limbaugh his voice. He got what he has on his own, by sheer ability to put things into words. If he did that without much education and on drugs, that only proves him to be more of a genius. No one else has been able to come close to him. I'm not saying I agree with him about that many things, but disrespecting his skill is absurd.; 10/17/05, 8:09 AM

Freeman Hunt said...: Jim, you should listen to his show sometime just to see what it's like. It's really not just an ad hominem fest. Plus, he treats his callers better than any other talk show host on the air. By that I mean that he doesn't hang up on people, and he is polite. He allows callers to respond and have a dialogue with him.

I used to have a very low opinion of him until I listened to his show a few times.; 10/17/05, 10:38 AM

Robert, you may want to replace your l's with r's.; 10/17/05, 2:37 PM
