We'll win elections by converting people to solid, true conservative principles, which are the principles Rush adheres to. I take it you're comfortable with abortion. Michael Steele is. Is that a solid conservative principle? Are you saying we should embrace abortion to garner votes?
We on this board aren't interested in one big happy tent. That's what the DIMocrats want (and, apparently you). We want to win but we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I suggest you go back to the DU or KOS where your lukewarm, misguided and uninformed ideas would be welcome.
Fixed it. It was fine to draw the distinction that Rush is merely "an entertainer". Calling Rush's remarks "incendiary" was moronic. Personally, I don't think that Steele heard said remarks in context, but that didn't stop him from babbling on.

Bull. The attacks on Rush are what they always are: sound bites taken completely out of context and then magnified in an attempt to skew the opinions of those who do not listen to him, influence sponsors and potential sponsors, and eventually drive him off the air.
This has been going on for years. Michael Stinson did it with takebackthemedia.com (.org?). The Left did with the Michael J. Fox non-scandal, saying that Rush was making fun of Fox’s malady. He wasn’t. He started out that program by saying that he had seen Michael J. Fox in an ad and he didn’t understand why he was shaking. He had never seen that before. He didn’t know that Fox had Parkinson’s. Listeners who DID know called and explained Fox’s condition to him. As the conversation evolved, Rush realized aloud that the Democrats and the McCaskill campaign were using Michael J. Fox to misrepresent her Republicans opponent’s stand on stem cell research. Instead, the media portrayed Rush as “heartless”, and the DittoCam feed of him describing the way Fox was shaking was looped in an effort to make him look like he was making fun of Fox.
Then there was the phony soldier non-scandal. A caller was talking about Jesse MacBeth, an anti-war activist who claimed that he was an Iraq vet, but he had actually washed out of basic training. Rush made a comment that MacBeth was a phony soldier — because he WAS. But Harry Reid and others once again misled people by saying that Rush was claiming that ANY soldier who opposed the war was a “phony soldier”, something that Rush had never said.
Then there was “Barack, the Magic Negro”, a parody that was based on a column by an African-American Democrat in the LA Times called “Obama the Magic Negro”, along with articles by liberals that wondered aloud if he was “black enough” to be their candidate, some characteristically buffoonish remarks by Joe Biden, and some openly jealous behavior of Al Sharpton. The media called the parody “racist”, and actually tried to resurrect the charge several times over a period of a couple of years. The parody wasn’t “racist”, it was poking fun at liberal attitudes toward race, and Al Sharpton.
So now we have the “I hope he fails” non-scandal. The media neglected to mention the entire monologue leading up to those four words, which explained in detail the direction in which Rush believes Obama is trying to take the country, and why Rush believes that this direction is totally wrong and downright harmful. Instead, they made Rush sound like he was being petty and mean and partisan for the sake of being partisan.
The list goes on and on and on. Rush Limbaugh is a huge threat to the Left, and that’s why they are constantly trying to smear and demean him. They are trying to drive him off the air.
Michael Steele DID owe an apology to Rush, NOT the other way around.
Mods won’t zot?
That’s a matter of opinion.
IATZ.
And right now, we have a country to save. I could care less about the GOP.
If the Pubbies would like to come along, then, welcome to the fight.
Steele may be the leader of the Republican Party but he is not the leader in Conservative ideas and they are two different things.
Rush Limbaugh is the leader and voice of a very large group of conservative people and ideas. That same group of people that the Republican party claim they support but of late have failed to show in action what they claim in their speeches.
If the Republican Party wants to win elections THEY better start listening to people like Rush and NOT the other way around. And not just listening but act like the conservative party they claim to be.
As to Rush’s opinions, you will find that they MIRROR the majority of conservatives ideas, not shape as you imply. All conservatives obviously don’t have a radio audience like Rush or may not have the ability to express those opinions as well as Rush does.
Don’t confuse the common goals and ideas of the conservative group (again, not the Republican Party as of late) which understands the issues, with those on the left who don’t understand the issues and simply follow their elected officials in blind obedience.

Ha... what a maroon. Rush says what WE are thinking! Not the other way around. Thats why we LIKE him.... some libtards are idiots. Oops, most of them.
No. We lost the last election in a BIG WAY, Precisely because of so-called Republicans who put getting RINOs elected before standing on principals. You sir, are more concerned with abandoning principals, turning away conservatives and thereby losing elections than hearing the harsh Truth of conservatism. We have you and your ilk, not Rush, to thank for the present situation.
Bush I gave us Clinton and Bush II gave us Obama. When will the RINO's learn?
We have, and we did. Bye.
It’s dead now.
