He announced last week that, yes, he has gone deaf. Totally f'ing deaf. For no reason the Dr.'s have been able to determine. It started May 29, he was totally deaf in his left ear, then progressively in his right ear, until about two weeks ago he became totally deaf. He vows to continue his show. Each day his voice sounds more "deaf", so I am not optimistic as to the show's future. I am heartsick for him. At least he's made his $$, but he really wants to continue, and God knows we need him. Now you know.

Yes, he's going deaf. It was all over the news last week. He's got some kind of infection or auto-immune thing that is destroying his hearing.

Going deaf. Probably because of listening to himself. Eithet that or all the "Mega ditto's Rush" from his minions.

I think he serves a purpouse, I just don't agree with him most of the time. I need nothing from you, not sorrow, nor to be told how to feel about Rush Limbaugh. Keep your opinions as they apply to me to yourself. I think his Illness is a personal tragedy for him and his family. It is not a national tragedy. |

[b]Gun-fan[/b] Is that appropriate? We're talking about a 'national treasure' as our President referred to him the other day!
Well, no matter how his illness progresses, he can still write some very pithy columns! At this crucial point in our nation's history, its two most clear and articulate voices are silenced - President Ronald Reagan, and now, Rush Limbaugh. Eric The(OneOfHisManyMinions)Hun[>]:)] |

As someone who disagrees with Rush around 80% of the time, let me say that I am very saddened by the events and I have chastised friends who laughed when they heard this news.

He's pretty much on it with regards to NOW, NAACP etc.... However his ultra right views are far too extreme for me. |

IF Rush leaves I would like to see either Tony Snow or Ollie North take it over.

He does not have to give up just because he is going permanently deaf. Cochlear implants are available to help him hear again...it is nothing like normal hearing but will allow him to continue if he so desires. It will also require therapy & determination on his part to succeed with the CI.
Very sad news for Rush & his listeners. |

As someone who agrees with Rush about 99% of the time he is a National Hero and a great leader of the freedom movement in this country. I dare say that without him we'd have Gore as president and be facing hundreds of new restrictions on our failing liberties.

No, I was afraid to ask you Brother Hound, so I won't even go there now. But that's beside the point, because any disagreement you may have with him is only on the surface, I can assure you. You both agree on the Second Amendment and that is the 'tie that binds' as the Chuch Hymnals say.

Are you one of those who believes that money needs to be taken from those who earn it and given to those who don't ?? Do tell..... |

As said by many, going def didn't hurt Beethoven. If Rush's voice continues to degrade to the voice typically associated to the def, it might just increase his mystique. He could be transformed into a Yoda like figure where we learn to appreciate his economy of words. Remember, he is not dead, he is not mentally incapacitated, he is not mute, just def.

Not to enrage the tinfoil hat crowd, but is there the possibility Rush is lowering his profile to temporarily reduce his target indicator status?
By that I mean in terrorist terms he does present a high-profile target. |

He may be sounding different because he may not be able to hear himself speak, and may therefore not have the benefit of the feedback that the rest of us take for granted.

I heard him on the radio last week describing his own condition. It sounds like he is, for all practical purposes, completely deaf. He said the doctors had a theory but he did not wish to dicsuss it.
Its a real shame. |

The only thing I ever disagreed with Rush on was the Micro$oft case.
I feel like this is happening to a personal friend. I've listened to him since I was about 10 years old, when my mom would listen in the car. [}:(] |
