Summary: Showing the truth that everybody should know
Review: This book contains the right things to say about our society. What he says is right on target, he does not hold anything back. He attacks the liberal ideas and the people of the left wing. He shows the facts and reveals the true colors of these socialistic heavy weight liberals. What Rush says makes me wonder why someone would question him. Rush hits the liberals hard, and it was coming to them anyway. This book almost has the guidelines to a successful nation.
I would recommend this book to a moderate liberal. The reason why I say this is because this book will show that person the truth. The truth is that everybody that is paying taxes should know about. The only way to understand that is to hint hint read the book. I enjoyed this book and I agree what Rush has to say. This book makes me wonder why people do the things they do to bring down society. This book is fit for a republican as well and I think it would great for them to read it and gain knowledge from it.

Summary: Readable Food for Thought
Review: After reading this book, I decided that I've been too hard on Rush Limbaugh. Although I still remain skeptical of his tone at times, and I think he could have done a better job of citing his sources, I have to admit that his ideological principles are right on the money. I especially like his positive view of America, his emphasis on individualism, his distrust of government, and his knack for expounding the absurdities in liberal ideology. By putting things in understandable terms and adding a dash of entertainment (narcissistic though it may seem at times), I think Rush Limbaugh has helped many Americans understand what has gone so wrong in their country during the past half century. You have to give him credit for that.

Summary: Awful, AND I'M A FREAKIN' CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!
Review: I am about as conservative as they come, but this is horriable. All he talks about is me, me, me, me; I, I, I, I,; my, my, my, my; I did this, I did that. We're not all like that. Rush gives a bad name to the right. Don't listen to him. He's a prime example of why the liberals think we're this way. This book alone could turn an undecided liberal. If you don't know whether to be a Democrat or Republican, don't listen to Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore (for liberalism.) Same crap, different fat guy. I hated it. Awful, awful, awful. Rush get over yourself. THink about someone else, or (gasp!) the conservative PEOPLE!!!!!!! What an inspirational idea. And to think, Al Franken didn't even have to lie like he did to make Rushy look bad. I am a conservative, but not like this guy. A must miss. Guy must've been high when he wrote this book. I guess so. I gues so. Rush Limbaugh could have been great, but it went to his head. SHUT UP ABOUT YOUSELF and your stuff you sell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Well, I want to be balanced here...
Review: I come from a family of conservatives and liberals, and I try to get an idea of both sides of the issues. My grandfather has this book, and I decided to read it. I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of Rush, but he at least can write. The book isn't terrible, but it tends to lack hard numbers. He'll just give an ambiguous statement about Reagan and how much worse Clinton will be(this book is from 1993 after all). If I was a conservative, I'd probly take all of this as a great work. However, I'm not, so I really can't see this as something as great as Mr. Limbaugh projects. He does project an air of arrogance, despite his hate for ego. He also talks about family values, despite three divorces. And he talks about the post WW2 generation not knowing sacrifice, while he gets out of Vietnam. His father was afflicted with the same ailment, and that didn't stop him from serving in WW2(thanks to Al Franken for that little tidbit.) Overall, not a bad book, just without hard numbers to support his claims.

Summary: Check the Price of This Book - That Says It All
Review: I have listened to Rush for his 15 plus years on the radio and read all his books. He is entertaining, he holds the audience and makes for good radio during the early afternoon drive.Beyond that take his comments with a grain of salt. He is like Art Bell. Great radio guy, entertaining, they both even have good music and command 500 plus stations, but both have programs with a high fiction content. Rush is a de facto and I assume unauthorized Republican propaganda machine on everything from the dem's, to downplaying global warming, to turning the planet into golf courses, supporting gas guzzlers, deriding any opposing viewpoint, now attacking the Florida prosecutors, and commenting on who says what in congress. He talks to a fictional Mr. Snurdly on air who is perhaps his main friend (?). He carefully screens his calls to get specific questions that he can answer in a pre-planned and orchestrated fashion. It is all quite bizarre. I am sure some people actually believe his comments. But all the time while he preached the conservative values - and I am conservative - he was a secret drug addict. His wife says she is tired of the lies and wants out. So should we. The price of this book used is $0.01 on Amazon.com and there are 117 available. That should tell true conservatives and free market people something. Jack in Toronto

Summary: Awful, AND I'M A FREAKIN' CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!
Review: In 1993, Rush Limbaugh followed his bestselling masterpiece "The Way Things Ought To Be" with "See, I Told You So." Both of these books helped set the tone for the Gingrich revolution of the 1994 election when the GOP took control of both the House and the Senate. SITYS was written at the beginning of Bill Clinton's first term as President, and Rush almost seems to predict to a "T" how Clinton's presidency would unfold, as the disgraceful stain on our country's history that it truly would turn out to be. Limbaugh takes on so-called "New Democrats" (Leftist radicals disguised as moderates), Hillary Clinton's socialist health care scheme, the political correctness thought police and the revisionists and their efforts to rewrite history. SITYS is at least as good a read as TWTOTB, if not better. In this age of the war on terrorism, I would love to see Limbaugh come out with a third book. Well, how about it, Rush?

Summary: Upbeat, No False Liberal Piety, Easy-Going, A Free Man
Review: Rush Limbaugh is:
1. A veritable teacher on the radio, intellectually stimulating.
2. THE conservative leader in America, working primarily through a medium (radio) that still stimulutes the human imagination better than TV, and is an excellent supplement to reading.
3. Many people, including a few conservatives and many liberals, TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY TO GET THE SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR RUSH LIMBAUGH DISPENSES. Liberals, particularly, are so religiously attached to their opinions that they can only HATE Rush because RUSH LIMBAUGH IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND ELOQUENT SPOKESMAN FOR CONSERVATISM AND AGAINST LIBERALISM.
4. Those who spend a lot of time faulting Rush Limbaugh for whatever reason are already pre-conceived to be against his politics. IT IS CLEAR THE LEFT IS ON AN AGENDA TO DESTROY RUSH LIMBAUGH.
5. I loved "See, I Told You So." Unlike so much political commentary in the OLD, MAINTSTREAM MEDIA, this book is straightforward.
6. Rush is not an "oversimplifier." Facts and thorough analysis are the core of his program. Maybe liberals cannot face that their minds are so confused and muddled, and they project their failure on the masses. ATTACKING RUSH IS A WAY FOR LIBERALS TO MAINTAIN THEIR CONTROL OF MEDIA.

Summary: Another Conservative Gem
Review: Rush Limbaugh's second book, "See, I Told You So" is a great follow up to "The Way Things Ought To Be" and a conservative classic in its own right. In trademark Rush fashion, the book begins on a note of optimism with Rush recounting past run-ins with star athlete Danny Ainge as well as his former high school football coach. The stories he tells reveal life lessons that anyone can implement in his own life, and they provide the reader with personal inspiration in addition to entertainment value. According to Rush, the American Dream is still alive... To achieve your dreams you only need passion, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence... Too often these ideals are lost in the everyday bickering of political life, and by injecting them back into the national debate, Rush Limbaugh brings a bit of Jimmy Stewart back into the political landscape. As he did in his first book, Rush then moves into a full-fledged examination of the American culture war, highlighting the liberal bias of school textbooks, the degradation of traditional values, and the dumbing-down of America. As always the book is filled with tidbits of humor, written in a witty style unique to the author and pleasing to the reader. Other aspects of the book assess the then future Clinton presidency and Rush's opinions on how such an administration would govern. These chapters seem almost prophetic in nature following the aftermath of an administration bereft with corruption and scandal (and a president that was impeached, just as Rush predicted)... Overall, if you enjoy The Rush Limbaugh Show, then you'll love "See, I Told You So". (...)

Summary: A Time Capsule of Inaccuracies
Review: This book was among the first wave of anti-Bill Clinton books to come out shortly after he became President. The problem with this book is that it does not stand the test of time. Rush Limbaugh's simple premise is that he was right about how Clinton's presidency would turn out...and he was making his case less than a year into Clinton's first term. Rush makes numerous bold predictions about the effects of Clinton's policies that, as can now be more fairly judged now that Clinton is out of office, simply did not come true. Rush was so sure that the Clinton presidency is going to be disasterous that he titles the book accordingly. See? He told us so. However, since Clinton's policies did not have the effects that Rush describes, and people were not worse off because of them, you are left with a paradoxical account of the 1990s. While you could argue that Bill Clinton's actual policies were not have been responsible for the prosperity of the 1990s (there is evidence on both sides of this), Rush's book inaccurately predicts tough times ahead that did not materialize. Rush predicts recession and deficits for most of the 90s because of the Clinton tax hike, rather than the high rate of growth in the economy and the elimination of the budget deficit that actually occurred. This is the equivalent to reading a book attacking the New Deal written in 1933, a book about VietNam written in 1967, or a book on the presidency of Richard Nixon published in 1970. Rush jumped to a lot of conclusions in this book that would prove to not be true. How the man has any credibility left after this is a mystery to me. This book is a monument to short-sighted partisanship that will be discovered by historians 100 years from now, and probably be considered a joke.

Summary: You're fooling yourselves to your own peril
Review: This is a great book. Don't let anyone in here fool you.
Rush Limbaugh has a few problems, yes (who doesn't). But not what many of these reviewers in here want you to believe. Rush has constantly over the years talked about the "politics of hate" that the liberals have used time after time to try to destroy conservatives (because they can't do it using reason). Well, many of the reviews of his book on this sight, prove his point. Further proof of this is the propaganda by the liberal media to milk his problems. And though the lies they have added to this equation are coming to light, they will sweep them under the rug and pretend they didn't happen. All the while relying on the impressions their lies have already made on some innocent persons opinion. Like their predecessor Mr. Lenin, they want to shame you into not listening to the opposition. Otherwise, God forbid, you might possibly disagree with them. Tremble tremble.
