I find it both predictable and sad that so many putative conservatives would mount a liberal defense of a conservative. You folks are doing Rush no favors. Your defense tends to buttress the veracity of the observation Rush truly didn't believe what he was saying.
If Rush was speaking about a liberal doing what he did, he would savage him daily and produce hilarious comedy skits/songs ect. THat he is not subject to the same treatment tends to make one see his defenders as liitle different than the defenders of Bill Clinton's perversions.
Rush, repeatedly, says his "talent is on loan from God." So is his body. Holy Writ says , !st Corinth:6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
So, Mr. Conervative pollutes his body like a dope fiend and the entire mess is blamed on liberals?
It went something like this: "When someone is determined to make a fool of themselves in foaming at the mouth over someone's shortcomings, including your's, step aside and let them rage on!"
Then the old Proverb came to mind since you've gone "biblical" at this point and it goes like this: "Tis better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"
Get a grip little man and hold back some of your bilge till you actually have some truth to go on. Right now you're just being another "conclusion jumper" and it's not becoming, if you know what I mean.
