MUTH’S TRUTHS
Rush to the Right: How Limbaugh Sparked America’s Cultural Earthquake Shift
It was August 1, 1988 – 37 years ago.
The FCC just tossed the Fairness Doctrine onto the scrap heap, clearing the airwaves for someone to waltz in and say: “Stop hiding behind policy white papers. Talk to me like a real person.”
Rush Limbaugh did just that.
With three hours of mic time and zero apologies, he rewired conservatism from wonkish complexity into a late-morning chat with your uncle – if your uncle was armed with a cigar, an encyclopedic disdain for liberalism, and a razor-sharp wit.
And yes, he said it.
Asked for 400 words on his hope for President Obama, he replied, “I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.”
