Thank You, Rush

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Rush Limbaugh’s announcement yesterday that he has advanced lung cancer came as a terrible shock to all those of us who have learned from, been inspired by and treasured the nation’s most influential conservative talk radio host.  

While there are countless examples of Rush’s impact, my most personal and prized memory was when he turned his attention – and that of his vast audience – to the need to oppose Bill Clinton’s unverifiable, defective Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Thanks in no small measure to his forceful denunciation of the accord, it became the only arms control agreement in history to be rejected by an actual majority of the United States Senate.

Nearly as shocking as Rush’s awful news was the appalling glee with which it was greeted by some of his many detractors. Shame on them and heartfelt thanks to you, Rush.
