"L" is for "Leftist" and "Loser"!

Rush Limbaugh is a consummate professional. His momentary lapse into the shadow-land which is the domain of the leftists and their symbiont media, where no standard is so low that it cannot be surpassed by something cruder, lower or slimier, was totally out of character. Not because of what Rush said, which in the pantheon of the left’s garbage grindings is indeed mild by any comparison… but we Conservatives are used to holding ourselves to a higher standard.
Rush doesn’t need me to defend him. His millions and millions of fans already have. The only surprise is that such things don’t happen to broadcasters more often. I did some broadcasting early in my post Marine Corps years to a live audience… and you can get into some surprising situations. There was always the possibility of an intemperate response to the listener who, for whatever reason, feels the need to bait the person behind the microphone. I’m not condoning it, but it happens. As usual, the line is drawn rigidly for Conservatives and loosely, or not at all, for our counterparts on the left.
When I first heard about this latest Conservative ‘bimbo‘ eruption, it was complete with the offended ’23-year-old’ co-ed, who turns out to be a 30-something femi-nazi who’s been around more times than a carousel. As always, it’s not the left’s front-page stories that we follow… that is, unless we feel the need for a little white noise. It’s the back stories we look for… the stuff they don’t want you to know.
The DeMarxists are remarkably consistent in the way that they present these ‘victims’. After all, the Maoists must have victimization in order to assert oppression, which is their other stock in trade. Then they bring on the Saul Alinsky tactic of isolating the target. In this case, Rush, but in a larger sense all of ‘new media’ talk radio.
The N.O.W. gang took time away from stirring their cauldrons to trumpet Rush’s demise. Craven DeMarxist politicians, who had remained mute while their Lame Stream operatives absolutely savaged conservative women with some of the foulest terms in the English language, called not only for Rush’s head but the abolition of all conservative talk radio. That old lizard, Gloria Allred, stuck her nose out from under her rock, scenting a headline.
A simultaneous assault against Rush’s advertisers resulted in a bare handful of faint-hearted departures, whose impact on Rush’s network was somewhat less than negligible. They were even more shocked when they realized that the whole incident was a tempest in a teacup and came scrambling back to the fold… or so they hoped… only to find that Rush had shut the barn door behind them. Well done, Rush!
Anyone who advertises in the Conservative media knows full well that we are subject to being jumped on at just about any time. If you don’t have the strength of your convictions, knowing that we face the type of opposition we do, you don’t belong here. And that’s the message Rush was sending. Pretty obviously, his twenty two million-something listeners agreed.
Well, the left is doing a severe gut (or something) check because none of it worked… none at all. They, of course, can’t figure it out. They were sure that they had Rush this time.
The DeMarxists called it “The war on women”. The results were more like “What if we held a war and no one came?” Looks like Obama may find out.

Too bad, so sad. Too slow, so late.
I like the smell of the sluts’ dropped pants on napalm in the morning.
Carbonite is almost completely out of business.
ProFlowers will follow.
As Rush says, the USA is more Conservative than not. The left doesn’t have the clout it thinks it does.
But this whole thing gave Rush a LOT of material and he has been having a grand old time.
No stations have dropped him (that will admit to it) and as he clearly pointed out, he as very few “sponsors.” His revenue comes from the stations themselves. None of them will commit suicide by dropping him. He ain’t Stern.
>>I like the smell of the sluts’ dropped pants on napalm in the morning.<<
That is gross on SO MANY LEVELS!
They rushed to silence Rush and then got crushed. :-)
ProFlowers will follow. Proflowers is a scam. They have these $19.95 specials at all holidays, and then when you add tax, on-time charges, delivery charges, and a couple other necessaries, your bill will be around $50. I hope they, too, go out of business.
NOTHING will unite the conservative base more than the Left going after Rush. You think they would know this by now.
How many of you considered yourself a politics junkie, or a conservative activist prior to Rush’s radio show? Few of us can say we paid much attention to politics before Rush. We matured listening to Rush and grew as Americans listening to the other radio host who followed the ground that he broke. They go after Rush, they go after us.
>>n when you add tax, on-time charges, delivery charges, and a couple other necessaries, your bill will be around $50.<<
It is like those Seen-On-TV “no wait, we’ll send you 2 (just pay shipping).” “Shipping and Handling” is 2/3 the price of the item and where they make their money.
I just wait for it to show up in Walgreens.
Flowers.com is OK and priced about the same.
Proflowers can wither on the stalk as far as I am concerned.

What is amazing to me is they attack Rush WITHOUT EVER LISTENING TO THE SHOW. They make statements like “Rush is Hate Speech” and, when challenged to show a single word of hate, they demure.
Rush is funny. He is pointed but always respectful. The only reason this event got coverage was he should have trailed off with “what do you call a woman who wants to be paid for her having sex..?” and then not answering (it would have been funnier anyway — my take is a variation of the Churchill “we know what you are, we are just negotiating payment terms” joke). But Rush has NEVER said anything “hateful.” His sin is in stating facts about the left and drawing accurate conclusions. That and knowing more than the lefties who deride him.
The attempt has been on going for over 20 years now.
