Rush was not aware that Soros was part of the group:
And my mistake at that point was not asking him, "All right, do you really mean it, and who did you speak to?" He gave me a couple of names that are pretty high up and led me to believe that it was all handled and that he was fully prepared for what was going to happen. When the whole thing started to unravel last week, whenever this thing leaked -- and, by the way, I learned yesterday that George Soros might be in this group. Reuters had a story that George Soros is one of Dave Checketts's partners. I did not know that. I wasn't told that. Mr. Checketts is not the primary partner here. The NFL has a rule that the primary owner has to have 30% equity in the team, and our group lost our 30% equity guy, and we had to scramble and find a new one, and I was told who it was, but now I'm wondering if it was Soros and I wasn't told. Soros and Checketts did, I have learned, partner together previously to try to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mr. Soros, of course, is well known politically for his left-wing slants, his politics fit in perfectly, apparently, with what the National Football League is becoming. But I wonder if they know that he is also involved in the movement to legalize marijuana and how that will play as the owners decide whether or not he's fit. This is all speculative because I don't know that he's in the group. Reuters reported it yesterday.
Rush is smart not to pick up a rumor disseminated by Reuters and treat it like it is a fact. That is what all of his detractors did.
I have read a couple comments that maybe Rush was set up, and Checketts was used, and the leak was planned, to bring out this torrent of negative publicity. Funny thing is, if that's the case, it may have backfired, because Obama supporters are already anti-Rush and those who listen to Rush know it's all BS, so I can't see a setup like this turning anyone new against Rush.
I have read that Rush is supposed to judge the Miss America Contest, I don't know if that is true, but if so, I can't understand why he would get involved in that, and there is potential for a repeat scenario with that. Maybe Rush would accept knowing that he would get drummed out, and hoping that would open more eyes.
You really believe Rush is stupid enough to put millions into a pool and not know who ALL the partners are?
Nice answer jellybean.
