This email was sent yesterday by me to Rush Limbaugh.
Rush,
The statement you released today has left some people disheartened, but not me.
It did however, leave me concerned: concerned for you, and concerned at how aggressively this Plague of Marxists moved against you, and so soon after the death of Andrew Breitbart.
I am stunned, but ultimately not surprised, at their audacity.
I can only imagine the details of what influenced your decision to take this course of action, but I implicitly trust your judgment that the statement was needed so that your program could continue the fight.
I have often said that The Marxists would rue the day that they succeed in silencing you, because the rest of us would not be laughing any longer.
Well, I stopped laughing today.
Their attack was effective, and it will continue relentlessly.
So, the time for laughing is over.
I think you know this as well.
As such, I look forward to Monday's program.
I look forward to a newly purposed Rush Limbaugh who's not playing games any longer.
And though the future is uncertain, and though I am just a faceless listener with no real power but the power of my support:
I stand with you in this fight, Rush Limbaugh.
People need to understand, sometimes you need to feint to the right or left before moving forward.
We would lose a huge asset, if Rush was forced off the air, because he chose to stubbornly stay his ground.
He’d be ok in his mansion and his 100 million dollar+ fortune. It would have bee us that would have lost out.
It would not surprise me one bit if Rush began his show with a montage of liberal radio and tv hosts that have said as much and worse than he said without having apologized to those woman they bad mouthed.
What better way to show their double standards.
I wonder how much this apology will drop his ‘being right x% of the time’ quotient?
First the hearing, then the backbone.
Who says sponsors don’t have power over the media — conservative or mainstream.
You blew it, Rush. Sometimes you need to keep your mouth shut; this issue -- mark my words -- is going to hurt conservatives all the way to November and MAY EVEN be the tipping point that puts Bambi back into the WH for four more years.
He caved, like all the rest. Accept it.
Sometimes I think radio is dead. You can hear radio programs on the net any time you want.
If the “Workers Court” forces Rush off the airwaves, he would make a killing podcasting his show here or maybe go on SHortwave.
The fairness doctrine is coming when Obama gets his 2nd term. And with the death of the 1st,expect the demise of all the other amendments.
Boy this is gonna save the day!!
Absolutely. It’s why they tried taking over the net, so they can control content on the net.
The Constitution is being targeted. I think it’s impossible to underestimate how much the left wants to take everything away.
When the Russians were close to storming Berlin, the people had a common greeting for each other in the street: Survive.
I wish he didn’t apologize. It was a perfect opportunity to keep the narrative about them and not about us.
These advertisers that pulled their adds. Let them advertise and cater to the penniless liberals who can’t afford $7 a month for birth control pills.
I thought of that as well. The left routinely denigrates conservative women. Why don’t they apologize?
But on another note, I think the debate needs to get back to those government mandates. The damage they’ve done, etc. Why are many college students required to buy insurance? They should have the right to make that decision for themselves. That’s a huge expense on a young healthy student that far exceeds the $3k that Fluke was talking about.
Also, in Fluke’s testimony before the House, she did not specifically say that she would spend $3,000 on contraception. She may or may not be what Rush has portrayed her to be.
An idea: maybe the Catholic Church should become a sponsor of the Limbaugh Show. Not kidding. No sarcasm. Stupid idea?
For all y’all that think this was a mistake to apologize, I disagree. Just wait. Rush plays chess with these things. I’m thinking he’s two or three moves ahead.
I understand your passion, however, we are at the tipping point. Words will have to be tempered since as we are all getting a clear picture here, MSM and the left are on the march, and we are not gaining ground. I am conflicted by his walk back but understand it. Glenn Beck said this years ago and so did Rush in different phrasing, their is no reasoning with the left or the Media. They will never stand up to what is right thinking. Don’t be duped that they will. So that leads us to believe that any conservative will be attacked for any reason. Look at how rabid they have been with Palin, to the point of making her unelectable. Rush is not immuned to this venome either folks. Evil exists and we are watching its forces attack.
Rush is doing this to turn the debate back to.....ROMNEY? Yeah, right.
