I love Rush.

He SPEAKS FOR ME!

[MarkL]

Sorry I wasn't more clear. I did NOT misunderstand you. I knew that you were fine with Rush's comments. I guess I didn't do a good job of stating my view that if Steele actually said that, he needs to be removed as the chair of the RNC before he does any more damage.

My incredulous response to you was actually aimed at Steele. Sorry for the confusion.

And he educates me, so that I might speak to others with knowledge and confidence of conviction!

Thank you Mr. Limbaugh!

What was actually inside the frame? I know the document was signed by Benjamin Franklin, but what was it? Anyone know?

What a great award!

[Red Boots]

Great Picture. I sometimes play around with the idea that the founding fathers will appear again when our country faces times of great need. I've always thought that if Ben Franklin were to have appeared again, he would be Rush.

You must have had the same idea to create this picture.

[SouthTexas]

the MSM won’t be able to continually hide the foul smell

Especially since they are dropping like flies! :)

[Richard Kimball]

Thanks. I got the idea when he got the award signed by Franklin, and Liberty Valance posted the picture of Franklin. I combined it with a photo of Rush. Thought it was appropriate.

[seekthetruth]

Do you have the link to the audio of Steele saying that? Thanks!

[ozark hilljilly]

“and Liberty Valance posted the picture of Franklin.”

I saw the (original) portrait on that thread last night-What a great job you did! Excellent ‘Shop skills, my FRiend!

[potlatch]

Thanks for the ping justice. I got to see some of Rush’s speech on TV and enjoyed it. I can’t listen to him on the radio so it was neat to see him talking.

[TheConservativeParty]

Great speech. Made sure to see it live. Why the heck can’t we get a Rush type to run for Prez? Rush always says he does more good being on the radio than holding political office, and of course holding the office of Prez is a big pay cut for Rush too(hee hee). So he won’t run. He sounded like the perfect 2012 presidential candidate yesterday in that speech (and everyday for the last 20 years). Of course the new head of the RNC didn’t like Rushbo’s speech. RNC=Losers.

I hear ya,, but..

Can you imagine the venom that would be spewed at him? Why would he want to subject himself to that?

He can have his cake and eat it too, just the way things work now.

I can’t help assauge others concerns over the RNC, you would think the lessons of 06 and 08 are lost on more than a few at the top of the politico scene.

[A CA Guy]

The President is a radical socialist based on all he is doing without a doubt.
By what reasoning could Steele believe Limbaugh Rush was over-the-top in a negative way?

IMO time to also place Steele's head on a political stick for removal as well.

[nmh]

“IMO time to also place Steele's head on a political stick for removal as well.”

EXACTLY!

We might as well have McPain as head of the RNC for the same good Steele will do.

Honestly, catering to the “hip hop” crowd is going to HELP US? We might as well institute midnight basketball. It's THIS kind of screwed up rhetoric that has caused the GOP to collapse. We can't have more of this idiotic crap.

All Steele will do is create Democrat light which hasn't worked. Steele lacks balls and doesn't have conservative principles. Going to the LEFT doesn't work. He's assuming, and wrongly that his true conservative base is so desperate that they'll go along with anything to get back in power again. He's wrong. What he is doing is only speeding up a third party that is conservative. The conservative base will not support this crap again and again and again when it doesn't work.

Where is the link to Steele’s comments? He was at the black convention yesterday in California.. I’m not certain how thrilled I am about that!

[Arizona Carolyn]

I just sent him a strong email voicing my displeasure.

[fanfan]

Great picture!

[MaxMax]

Ann Coulter as Betsy Ross?

[rlmorel]

Argh. I was afraid of that. Chosen solely on skin color. Sigh. I guess that given the candidates the RNC has “found”, this should not be a surprise.

I got a lot of literature from them asking for contributions, and I refused on the basis that they don’t represent my values and are not helping to get conservative candidates elected.

[Piquaboy]

Steele sounds like Juan Williams of Fox News. The blacks are going to support their own.
