Rush is an entertainer. No more no less.
He’s more interested in selling his tea on the air. Without the air waves, his tea would fail.
Rush cares only about himself. He has a way out. He doesn’t care about us, only our money.
I was thinking exactly the same thing last night. Rush is going to go on the war path now. They will long for the day of the lovable little fur ball, making “slut” jokes. Look for a more serious (while still entertaining) El Rushbo.
I was stunned. I said "Dad...But you lied". And my dad responded "He knows where we live".
My father taught me wisdom.
Of course it’s about the money. I’m not into the OWS crap but I don’t believe any millionaire gives a damn about anything but making more money. He wouldn’t keep investing for a net zero return.
Rush is about the money, too. Why shouldn’t he be. But what pisses me off about him and Hannity et al, is they pretend to be for the people. Let one little threat to their money come up and watch them scurry over to the left. They care about the 99% and the 10% unemployed. But if it comes to sacrificing, they’re only for themselves.
They’ve taken out two of their marks in just three days, one that they have been trying to get for twenty years. They are having a really successful week.
Not really. In this case your dad did you no favor.
Yeah, so does Carbonite and Sleep Number Beds. Just how many people who are looking for free contraceptives are going to be buying a Sleep Number Bed.
My Carbonite subscription is up in 29 days and I'll be replacing them with someone who has a little more respect for the first amendment. Someone who caves that fast to a little pressure can't be trusted with my data or that of my company.
As for the Sleep Number I have been saving for.....I'll start looking at other options this afternoon.
And if he doesn't... we'll know that "it's time," even though he promised to tell us when it was time.
Then Alinsky wins, right?
Right.
The Dems/Lefties/MSM got an apology. That is worse than blood in the water for a shark.
They are behind closed doors even now planning how to capitalize on this.
Macaca, Strom would have made a good president, nappy headed ho, and numerous other examples have forced others 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.”
That would be a smart move, ‘cause you just know more people than usual will be tuning in. That’s the audience who needs to hear the truth, since they hear it nowhere else.
Exactly.
I believe he apologized because she was, arguably, not a public figure.
The public figures responsible for this attack, however, are still fair game.
I expect Monday’s show to be a barn burner.
What Limbaugh SHOULD be apologizing for is NOT covering Sherif Joe’s news conference.
But she made herself a public figure by going before Congress. She is now a public figure.
“He’s more interested in selling his tea on the air.”
Does Rush own a tea company?
Please post links.
Indeed. He spent his entire show on Friday digging himself deeper into this hole.
Here’s a fresh example WHY Rush Limbo and a slew of other so called “Conservative” talking heads are afraid of covering or touching the Article II. Section 1. Clause 5, the NBC issue, because they got “marching” order to keep it under the rug, or else.... = Andrew Breitbart???
Kudos to “America’s” Sheriff Joe Arpaio for bringing the Bari-Birthdate-Gate to the forefront!!!
Couldn’t agree more! Watching this is almost surreal, but we all knew that this was going to get nasty, and trust my word, this is just the beginning. We all knew it was coming and I tried to wake people up as did everyone here on FR. I am sick to my stomach over all of this, but cant dwell for too long. We must press on with what we do. and PRAY!
This seems to be the case, which is amazing because it was Rush leading the way on how this was a trap to change the discussion from the dangers of the new powers ceded to government over our healthcare to 'women's rights' being 'taken away'. It is a cheap ploy from the Democrates, and he ended up falling prey this week. I do not think this is over, and he will probably have a major impact for our side on this issue before this ends, but in this small sliver of time, Rush took a hit in his own game going after the left this week. He'll probably have the last laugh.
This apology likely is meant to stop the effect on his sponsors, but it also became a political hot potato for our side in the last 2 days of last week. When both Boehnner and Santorum came out calling it inappropriate, the process was underway. As much as Rush's overall coverage of this was dead-on, the few soundbites being tossed in the media were going to cause damage...either our side's leaders would side with Rush which would have put them on record calling a college student a 'slut', or they would go against Rush and put the issue to rest for their electoral needs. I wouldn't want any of our candidates or elected leaders to needing to spend the next six months defending their position on this...it simply isn't important. I am comfortable with his statement yesterday because it was the weekend, and he had no other ability until Monday to address this, and it needed to be handled. Before Monday, he likely would have taken more hits from sponsors and the political dialogue of the whole weekend would have been about this.
