February 17, 2022, marks the one year anniversary of the passing of the conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh, and several prominent conservatives offered tributes, remembering the lasting legacy of the man behind the Golden EIB Microphone.
“A year ago Rush left us. It is still painful to deal with but there is also much gratitude. For 33 years he took the arrows from the left. Today – there are millions of us standing up for America. He was so much more than politics. I miss you Rush. Every day,” Limbaugh’s longtime producer and friend Bo Snerdley — James Golden — said on Thursday:

Diana Allocco, the managing editor of The Limbaugh Letter, marked the day with an op-ed, detailing the lessons Limbaugh left behind to conservatives on how to defeat the left.
“In the same way Rush was ‘the most dangerous man in America,’ embrace the truth that we are the most dangerous people in America – to the left,” she wrote.
“They may at the moment control the institutions, the levers of power, and much of the media, but we have them surrounded,” she added. “And they know it.”
