Disappointed in Rush

I was listening to Mark Steyn filling in for Rush Limbaugh when he mentioned that Erick Erickson would be the fillin host tomorrow. Erickson is the guy who disinvited Donald Trump from the Red State Gathering and invited Megyn Kelly to speak in his place. Rumor had it that he was prodded by Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers, who ironically wrote a book on how the left's intolerance towards opposing views is shutting down debate.

[Lopeover]

Me either! The guy is a douche bag and I am not happy with Rush. I think all the pundits need to have their conservative credentials checked. It is an incestuous industry and all they do is talk, just like politicians!

[simonjo]

Walter Williams, I believe. Super entertaining man.

[Tijeras_Slim]

OOPS Walter Williams.

[Company Man]

Well, this explains all the recent crawfishin’.

[Yaelle]

I really miss Rush. I hate that he lost KFI. I can hear him on two stations where I am but poorly both. So I usually don’t. I miss him.

[IAMNO1]

If you're implying that I'm a “Trump cultist” (your use of “you”, “you folks”, “you'll”), you're demonstrating a complete lack of reading comprehension, observational skills, and are displaying a penchant for responding way beyond what a person actually says. THAT makes me want to throw you out of any boat I happen to be in. Read and comment on my words man! I'm NOT a Trump Cultist. I've preferred and backed Cruz since day one, and given him hundreds of dollars. However, I do admire Trump for his anti-pc rants, and his in-your-face style toward RINO’s and Dims. I did NOT agree with Erickson's comments at the time, nor now with Rush's letting him slither back onto the airwaves. Period!

[Shery]

I think these are probably set up months, if not for the year in advance because of all the clearing of other schedules these guys and gals would have to do. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty certain it was not a recent pick. I don’t believe Rush was trying to stick it in anybody’s face.

[Osage Orange]

I knew who you meant....just jacking with you.

[Bobalu]

Woulda been fun if he asked Trump to host...lol

[I know, a lot of trouble because of that equal-time nonsense]

[Fledermaus]

Walter Williams

[Rebelbase]

I heard Rush wasn’t coming back on-the-air until 2016.

[Artcore]

I can’t find any English definition for “fillin”.

Erickson sucks but I still can’t find any definition for that apparently made-up word.

Do you also use terms like “Axe” and “Baby Daddy”?

_____________________

Even more annoying are people like you who make something like this an issue. I’m sure you knew exactly what he meant. Trying to show us how smart and clever you are?

People who try to be funny usually aren’t. Just some free advice.

[Artcore]

Rush has been around a whole lot longer than you, I am sure he does not need your input to be a success.

Sorry, but this was a bad move by Rush, just like it was a bad move by Rush when he thought it wise to use Mark Davis to continue to host his show, even after Davis trashed the Tea Party supporters.

Even good old El Rushbo doesn’t seem to think these things though to carefully.

It may be that EE was the only one available to host the show.

[Artcore]

Oh crap! I better fix this before HG proofreads it:

{{Even good old El Rushbo doesn’t seem to think these things though to carefully.}}

Should’ve been:

Even good old El Rushbo doesn’t seem to think these things through too carefully.

Lighten up, Francis.

My criticism of the Cult pertains to the over the top supporters of Trump not to non-cultist backers of other candidates. If it didn’t apply to you don’t let it bother you.

My criticism of (let’s call them Exclusionists) did apply to you. I’ve been seeing a lot of this “I’ll never read or listen to this pundit again” rhetoric online this year. It represents a closed minded attitude which reminds me of how the Left operates. It’s a type of political shunning.

Your attitude towards Erickson may be similar to my attitude towards Ann Coulter. I don’t take her seriously but we are basically on the same side. We can’t read out of the Conservative movement everyone we don’t agree with one hundred percent of the time.

The only way we defeat the Left is to come together in the end behind one candidate.

[MayflowerMadam]

I think Rush should give Bill Whittle a shot as guest host one of these days.

[G Larry]

I support Cruz not Trump and I’m decidedly NOT a RINO.

[norwaypinesavage]

I too support Cruz, and I too am decidedly not a RINO. However, there are many who would call us such if we don’t precisely match their singular definition of a conservative. ALL of the Republican candidates would be much better for this country than Hillary, though a couple are decidedly worse than the others. I will be called a RINO for saying this.
