HUMAN EVENTS Man of the Year: Rush Limbaugh

Major DITTOS to HUMAN EVENTS for making Rush Limbaugh their Man of the Year for 2007.

Rush fans and haters alike will want to read the above linked tribute written by Mark Levin which delineates some of the great things Rush accomplished on the air this year and how the left continually attempted to vilify him. The left lost.

Levin's tribute is an excellent primer on the modus operandi of the left. Their playbook never changes; they project and accuse their opponents of the very things they are guilty. But more importantly, Levin points out why Rush is the most influential and articulate conservative in America.

I've been a huge fan of Rush from the first day he came to the Dallas airwaves. He's always been much more than a great talk show host. He's an educator, a humorist, a patriot, a political analyst without peer, but more than anything else, he's an inspiration. Daily he inspires his listeners to think positively, to be of good cheer and be the very best Americans we can be.

The conservative movement is a napping giant and Rush has been instrumental over the years in successfully waking people up. He's a one man media giant who has changed single-handedly the way we get our news. He gave new life to talk radio and is considered by most on the right to be the founding father and titular head of the New Media.

That he is so hated by the left, as well as by moderate and liberal republicans, speaks volumes to his effectiveness. There's never been anyone like him in Media and there never will be.

Congratulations, Rush! You deserve to be Man of the Year!
