<\/p>\nRUSH: Dana in Topeka, Kansas, as we head back to the phones, nice to have you with us. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Just an honor. So thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: What I called to tell you was I wanted to thank you for turning me into a radical person. I was raised in South Dakota by dyed-in-the-wool Democrats as parents, I kid you not. The governor back then, Dick Kneip, would come to my father\u2019s house and hunt pheasants. So I was raised a Democrat through and through and through and was a Democrat for years, until a banker friend of mine sat me down one day and said, “Dana, a person with your values, your hard work, you know, your pride, I cannot believe you\u2019re a Democrat. That just flays me.” So I changed parties. However, I was not a radical. You, Rush Limbaugh, have opened my eyes to mainstream America. <\/p>\n
RUSH: I love that, turned you into a radical.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You did. And I\u2019m telling you what, it is bad. I don\u2019t know that my friends like this, but, you know, even my own sister knows nothing about Benghazi. And, gee, guess what? Because she lives in South Dakota and listens to mainstream America. And it just amazes me. How can people not know about this? If they did — well, you know the election would be over. You really opened my eyes. Look at mainstream America, I was foolish to think that they reported the truth because this is free America. Well, it\u2019s far from that. And I have not been listening to you but for maybe a couple of months, and, oh, my, you\u2019ve turned me into a radical, and I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s good or bad, but my God.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, it sounds like you enjoy it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I do. I\u2019m very passionate in what I believe in, believe you me.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that\u2019s good. I think you probably feel a little liberated now.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I do.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I think you know what you believe. You\u2019re not echoing what you\u2019ve always heard growing up and just saying it. You believe it now, and if that\u2019s radical to you, that\u2019s great. Stay that way. You\u2019ve made my day. I\u2019m glad to hear from you, but I\u2019ve gotta run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
