Exactly why something has to be done! It past time that we let liberals and the media continue to shape business.
Time to fight back!
Look folks, I don’t think he should have apologized either, but you’re allowing the Left to divide and conquer, when you turn on Rush because one thing you don’t like.
He’s done literally tens of thousands of things over the years I do like. Nobody’s perfect.
We either take a stand together, or we allow them to pick us off one by one.
I will stand with Rush.
hawaiianninja,
I think Sharis Berries is owned by ProFlowers!!!
I don’t think Rush should have apologized. When I said so yesterday, I was subject to more abuse than I have ever personally seen on FreeRepublic in my 17 years here.
There is a lot of Kool-Aid being sucked down on FreeRepublic, I am sorry to say. What Rush said about the slut is true: she is a slut. Would any of you want your daughter to be famous for being Susan Fluke? He spoke truth (thanks Rush), then ran away when the media and the Demonrats predictably went crazy (you let us down Rush, you betrayed us). And he did it for a few dollars.
Does anyone believe that the frigging Left will give up destroying us because Rush apologized? Today they doubled down. And they are winning. Obama won the election yesterday, when Rush caved. Sorry, but game over. America over. Flame away, all you willfully blind idiots. We lost. We are all socialists now. Obama wins in 2012, because Rush sucked the big you-know-what.
PS: I would love to be wrong, but I’m not. The Tea Party is dead, the Republicans are corrupt, and the socialists have achieved 50% + 1 of the electorate sucking off the tit. Meanwhile, the borders are open, and bloodsuckers flood in. They vote. They multiply. We don’t. May God have mercy on our beloved children, because we have betrayed them.
BTW, Mr. Secret Agent Man (hearing the song right now), I am not attacking you. Like you, I spent a lot of time defending Rush on the slut issue because he was right. Then he got on his knees in front of Anderson Cooper’s zipper. Pulled down that zipper, and did it. Disgusting.
I listened to Rush today. No one is better at weasel words than old Rushbo.
I wish you were right, but here is the new reality. The advertisers have made a decision based on facts: they will NOT suffer much pain from dumping Rush, and by extension, dumping Rush’s audience. We are now the minority.
Americans (from my former country, the country of my birth) have decided that punishing everyone not on welfare is good. The rich are the enemy, and taxpayers should pay a lot more, particularly if they are the wrong race. This was by Democrat design, and the effort is now successful.
Without revolution, this country is gone. And there will be no revolution. I will end this post with the same thing I have been saying: I wish I was wrong. But I’m not.
Can't we just all get along?
Where was Rush when millions were voicing our concerns with the NBC issue, where was Rush when we were voicing our concerns over the SS number issue.
Rush is on his own, you reap the harvest you have sown.
I dont think Rush should have apologized-—
EXCUSE me. Rush thought he should apologize. He did.
And you think he shouldn’t have.
So do you apologize when you think you should, or when other’s tell you to or not to?
well sometimes-in this world you have to couch an apology in as education. In America We used to call women who thought somebody else ought pay for their sex— sluts. A once self evident truth —but our educators and others have found in a briny crab bucket. Remember in the Old Testament when a leaders got weary of holding his hands up—sometimes it was good to find others willing to help him out till the battle was won.If your reply is an excuse to leave— you are free to go.
High gasoline prices,high unemployment, cities going bankrupt... We need something to coverup these stories. Lets find a slut.
their useful idiot, ms fluke is the next Monica Lewinsky!
I have no idea what you are saying. Could you clarify?
My point was I was still (and still) defending Rush when Rush stopped defending himself with an apology that should never have been given in the first place.
Why do you assume I left Rush? I never said that. I said I was still standing for Rush, when Rush went and sat down. And I believe I am accurate on that description.
This is a tactical mistake Rush made. I’m not going to leave because Rush makes a mistake. I’ve been listening since 1990.
Don’t think that just because people think Rush made a mistake, that that means they’re are leaving him.
As far as the sponsors that left Rush, however, as I have said all week, they are dead to me. Don’t care if they come back or not. DEAD TO ME.
You sure you got the right guy? I’ve been saying the same thing you’ve been saying. You’re preaching to the choir here.
Ahh. He went on Anderson Cooper? I can’t imagine he did that, given he on purpose always gets his show’s name wrong.
No, sorry if I came across that way. I tried to clarify that I wasn’t picking on you a few posts later, but it was late and I probably didn’t say it too well.
I have been involved in two threads on the Rush apology and I got beat up pretty bad in the first one. The no-apologies crowd is pretty small here on FR.
That’s was a bad joke on my part. My main thing is that Rush did no one any favors when he apologized. How many times has he lately said “You never win anything playing defense”? That looks like what he’s doing now. This whole thing is one big un-forced error.
Thank you for clarifying your reply.
Okay, it was an error on my part, but this sounded to me that you were fed up with him. In an atmosphere where others were saying they were, I responded as I did.
I believe what I said needed to be said, but I'm sorry you were mistakenly caught in the cross-fire.
