No one is surprised.
This is the same guy who sounded as though he was broadcasting from the Bush White House basement during those years...All while ignoring the fact our country was being totally and completely inundated by tens of millions of illegal aliens during that same time period...It was during that time, we shut this guy off, and could only assume he'd been bought and paid for.
QUICK, EVERYONE!! There aren’t enough enemies on our left to attack. Let’s start mauling our allies, too!
I turned Rush off during those years as well. Not for the immigration issue ( even though you are right). I simply got supremely tired of Rush FAILING consistently to point out the communist and Marxist element driving the left in this nation. I thought if I heard the word "liberal" or " left" one more time I would barf. They aren't liberal. They aren't left. They are Marxists or Useful Idiots. They are communists. Call them what they are!
Also....How many ways can a man talk about the economy? Boring! Yet there was near silence on many social issues such as the gay bullies, abortion, the Christians who have lost their jobs, K-12 schooling and its outrages,
What flat our did with me on Rush was the disgraceful way Rush ignored Obama's eligibility ( still does.) That was the end of Rush for me. I used to listen to Rush while sewing or painting a room. Now I listen to courses found on I Tunes.
