Rush Limbaugh: Biography and Much More from Answers.com (5962 words) |
 | Limbaugh gained particular fame as a staunch opponent of president Bill Clinton; by 1995, when Newt Gingrich led a Republican majority into the House of Representatives, Limbaugh was one of the most popular radio hosts in the U.S., with a fervent audience of "dittoheads," fans who parroted his conservative views. |
 | Limbaugh was the 1992, 1995, 2000 and 2005 recipient of the Marconi Radio Award for Syndicated Radio Personality of the Year (given by the National Association of Broadcasters), joining the syndicated Bob and Tom Show as the only other four-time winners of a Marconi award. |
 | Limbaugh is very vocal in denouncing liberal politicians (in the sense common in the United States of "leftist" rather than the classical liberal sense) and initiatives, and actively promotes conservative candidates and policies. |
