Rush was only 'taking this tone' if you were being defensive.

Rush never said we were stupid. Rush never said he AGREED.

Take a step back here, DoughtyOne. There is room for disagreement on this one.

Look, I'm not going to argue with you over it, but Rush's tone was exactly as I portrayed it.

His exact words were to the effect, "Now I'm not saying this is a good deal, all I am saying is that there is a negative Tsunami forming here and folks need to lighten up."

The inference was that folks just aren't informed. They can't understand this deal. Why it makes perfect economical sense. Come on folks, back off and take another look.

I sure don't see that as neutral. What if he'd have said...

Look you Bush supporters, "I'm not saying this is a bad deal, all I am saying is that there is a pro tsunami forming here and folks need to learn more about this before they blindly support it."

Nah, sorry, I can't buy into your description. It just doesn't fit in with how his comments sounded from my perspective.
