Ok, this is humble and meek as all get out. I stand corrected from the perspective that Rush has apologized (I heard it live on air) for the words he used. Me, not so much. We, conservatives have, as a group, taken at least that much and worse from the left and received no so much as a whisper of an apology from them. I don’t fault Rush for what he said and I still believe that his words were appropriate, ESPECIALLY with the aditional background information that he provide as part of his apology. IMO, someone got to him over the weekend, someone other than just the sponsors who pulled out, and coerced him to offer his apology. My suspicion is that it would be ClearChannel. Otherwise, why else would they need to issue a statement that they are standing behind him?
HOWEVER, I am deply disappointed and dismayed that he apologized. By so doing, Rush has set conservatism on its rear. I believe that, because of who he is, the left will use this single issue to grind conservatism into dust. I fully expect them to not only re-introduce the “Fairness” Doctrine, but obtain rapid passage of it. I also expect that the left will use Rush’s comments and his apology as an acknowledgement that talk radio is a vehicle for “hate speech” so that they can finally drive talk radio off the air.
As I type, the left is high-fiving themselves nd popping champagne bottles. We, on the other hand, are screwed!
So, I thank you for correcting me about Rush’s use of words that he acknowledges were wrong and for your gracious attitude about it.
I’m going to go sulk, now!
This too shall pass. :)
No one has answered my question from another comment. What is the male equivalent of a “slut?”
