Well I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell ya.
I hope the people who were talking about Rush throwing us under the bus feel more than a little bit cheesy after reading this.
These liberals and the people on FR who don’t understand are about to get a real big surprise. Rush never says anything without thinking first, and he is a real smart guy.
Can’t wait to hear the start of today’s show.
I was troubled when I saw the apology. I'm curious now to see if Rush is going to turn this around. After all, he really IS good at this chess game he's got going with the Left. Should be interesting.
Rush uses the absurd to make his point but he got into it a bit deep and sucked all the air out of any other part of the conservative message.
Freedom of religion is crucial but so is winning this election to remove Obama and repair the damage. If conservatism can't hold a place on Capital Hill, nothing we believe in will be safe.
Rush, I might add, took on these advertisers. It's not like they were hiding their affiliations -- Jeffery Lord didn't seem to have much trouble putting this all together. One could say, Rush has endorsed their product and that his listeners by extension, have supported these groups.
I went on that flower Facebook site where they had put up a message about Rush.
They had, last night, over 7,000 comments, running about five to one AGAINST the company and FOR Rush. That’s not counting the “likes” for all the comments vowing NOT to use their product. It was incredible.
And so , hey, you can do this without even getting out of your chair, Freepers. Find these products’ sites/Facebook, and blast them.
They ARE selling a product after all and if we have no power at all we are their customer base else they wouldn’t have been advertising on Rush.
Let our capitalist system do our talking.
I agree. Rush is a smart guy with smart people behind him. This is just a chess move, a game to Rush. He will make his next move to throw a wrench into the drive by media's mechanism. He will use this to expose absured-ism plus build on the conservative armament...hopefully. I hope he makes these traitors who pulled out suffer if he is at all set back.
I’ll admit to being pi$$ed at Rush on Saturday when I learned of his apology. I regrouped on Sunday, and fired off a letter of disgust to ProFlowers indicating that I will no longer purchase their product for their selective, politically correct outrage at Rush (Even after his apology!), and their decision to drop sponsorship to his show.
In fairness, I think those of us who were angry at Rush initially, have watched our “leaders” apologize time and time again. I think we’re just a little sensitive when our guys apologize when the Left NEVER does. My initial thought was: “How can Rush sit here day after day and tell us that GOP should NOT Accept the premises of the Democrats, and then turn around and apologize for his comments that were spot on?”
At any rate, I’m still a strong Rush supporter, and will be firing off a few more e-mails to the other gutless companies who’ve made the financially dumb decision to drop Rush. If they can drop Rush, WE CAN DROP THEM! ;-)
I am one of them. I should have held my judgement and got a hold of my emotions and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I cannot wait to hear him today.
