When Rush puts up $1 million of his own money to help veterans, then I’ll start to think his conservative ideology is something more than content that he puts forth in a radio program that has made him a multimillionaire.

My own reading and interpretation of conservative thought is as good as his, I just am nowhere near being in his league as an entertainer.+

That's a really cheap shot, when are you putting up your million?

How do you know he hasn't?

Most people who give don't go around blabbing about it unless they're democrats.

Really, really cheap shot, ended by a nice dose of envy at the end of your post.

You do realize he holds annual fund raisers for the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation and pledges $100,000 annually from his tea company?

You don’t know, maybe he’ll do like Trump and wait until he’s running for president, in a tight spot* and needs to use vets as political props. Before that, Trump donated more to Rahm Emanuel than he did to veterans.

*Trump needed to something to compensate for refusing to debate. He refused to debate was because he knew some really tough questions were coming.

I don’t doubt for a moment that Rush has donated a fortune to charity, and many of them veterans groups.

Just one example of Rush’s generosity and that of his listeners:

https://philanthropy.com/article/Radio-Host-Channels-More-Than/201027

The letter auctioned off for $2.1 million and Rush matched the bid for a total of $4.2 million.

Another example of Rush’s charity work:

Rush has raised over $40 million for cancer research:

Trump has done nothing even close to this.
