New Ya know
the radio announcer/DJ in Rwanda who helped incite the genocide there was very successful too; he had great ratings. Just sayin'.

Does this mean I equate Rush with him? No... but the simple fact of great ratings and money making doesn't justify itself absent any other context.

New So when the US Gov't takes over all radio stations
and puts Rush in drive time...we can talk about this being a comparison.

Of course the ONLY radio station in the country is going to have good ratings. D'uh.
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

New Some places they de-facto do
Armed Forces Radio, in some parts of the world, is pretty much the only English language station around.

Don't know if Rush is still on it all the time, though. He was for a while.
