Rush's eBay Letter Gets Patriotic Venue
'One of the most valuable printed documents of the modern era' at Patrick Henry homestead
[clip]
A listener, identified as "Ted from Cleveland," asked [Bill Hemmer on Fox's "America's Newsroom"], "What happened with Rush Limbaugh's eBay sale of the Democratic letter from Harry Reid? Did he match the final purchase amount? Did he make a presentation?"
[clip]
To answer Ted from Cleveland, Hemmer invited Limbaugh to respond on the air.
"Well, let me tell you about the woman who was the high bidder on eBay. Her name was Betty Casey, and she's a philanthropist. She's a longtime listener to my radio program. We've not made the presentation of the letter to her yet because she's a widow. Her husband was a real estate developer, it turns out, in Maryland and Washington, and they own – or she now owns – Patrick Henry's original homestead. She's refurbishing it, and the Harry Reid smear letter is going to be presented there, and placed there when it gets ready.
"So we have it in a bank vault protecting it, making sure that nothing happens to it. The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation was the charity here, and they have received $4.2 million now from Betty Casey and from me. So it's a done deal. They have the money. We're just waiting for the work to get done at Patrick Henry's place to make the presentation."

I trust the date the site is ready will be announced on Rush’s show. This was one fantastic thing to do.
Didn't the *Crintons pinch a whole bunch of White House gear on their way out the door? Historic indeed. (Say, have they returned everything?)
GIGA DITTOS! :-)
Let them know! WE KNOW!!!!
You know it, and I know it...

I have noticed your absence of late. I hope you are doing well and the BDS has been subsiding.
My prayers to you in this difficult time.

The son asks, "Daddy, what is that letter?"
The father replies, "Well, son. That there is a letter signed by 41 individuals who were elected by the People to represent them in Congress.
But instead of tending to the needs of the People and the security of the Country, these 41 Senators felt it was more important to spend time signing a letter 'requesting' a radio station owner to force a private citizen to publicly apologize for something he didn't say.
Son, this private citizen was simply exercising his First Amendment right to say what he wanted. And these 41 Senators didn't much care for what he said. And rather than debate the merits of his ideas in the Public Arena, these 41 Senators tried to indirectly censor him."
The son asks, "Golly, dad. That's not right. Was it reported in the news?"
The father smiled ruefully. "No, son. It was not. Apparently, the broadcasting corporations were headed up by people who also disagreed with this private citizen. Their job was to report the news in a professional, objective manner. But they privately sided with the 41 Senators and thus, hid the story from their audiences."
"And son, that letter stands before us as a reminder to always be vigilant against bullies who hide behind the Constitution when it suits their personal agenda."
The boy nods knowingly and remarks, "Thanks, dad." They stay for a moment longer, and then depart.
This fictional father & son could very likely be direct beneficiaries of the money that Rush & Betty Casey donated. Such a gift can positively affect generations beyond our ability to speculate.
Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh and thank you, Ms. Casey.
Perfect!
Awesome!
“Height of Limbaughs’ career..”
—
If you really believe this is the height of Rush’s career, you must not really be a fan. Rush is going to do even better, much better in his pursuit of truth, honesty and the American way!
“...GIGA DITTOS! :-)...”
TERRA DITTOS!!!!!
Hats off to Mrs Casey and to Rush.A great cause to be sure and a little fun showing dingy harry as the scumbag he really is.
I’d be interested to hear if any of the 41 signatories even tried to match the winning bid.
I emailed Patty Murray, since she is one of my Senators and signed the letter, challenging her to make an effort to match the winning bid. In reply, I got the standard form letter explaining her views on Iraq and why it is lost, LOL.
Obviously, her staffers didn’t even read my email.
Ever consider changing your FReeper name to Miss Dittos?
“He like Patrick Henry is nothing less than a true patriot.”
Patrick Henry in his his day saw there was no compromise with the enemy and stated he would rather die than not to have liberty. Rush, along with the other conservative talk show hosts I’ve heard, ignore this great divide that there is no compromise with the socialists and is still willing to yuk it up day after day with no mention of what may need to be done to bring back America.
Eugene B. Casey Foundation, established by Betty Casey’s late husband, a major real estate developer and Washington native.
2004
First came the collapse of philanthropist Betty Casey’s controversial 2001 plan to spend $50 million on a grand mayoral mansion on Washington’s Foxhall Road.
Last December, after nearly three years of conflict, Betty Casey pulled the plug. She sold the land for $25 million to St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School across Foxhall Road, said Sullivan, and gave the proceeds to the Salvation Army, which plans to build a community center in Anacostia.
