Dude, your emotional attachment to Rush is disturbing, especially considering the collaboration that he’s done with the big media and Democrats like Chuck Schumer. I can’t crawl into the guy’s head and tell you WHY he did what he did but it’s public record. I don’t trust big media either, but when Breitbart and Newsmax are reporting that Rush is flat-out endorsing Cruz, then I hear what he’s saying as I’m driving home from work, what is a person supposed to think?
Q: When Trump really stepped up his game against Rubio and Cruz, which two talk-radio hosts really came out swinging against Trump? A: Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin.
We KNOW that Mark Levin was financially motivated. It’s not as clear with Rush’s motivation but it sure is curious that he would be looking the other way on Cruz’s lack of commitment against illegal immigration.
Democrats deify their politicians and media figures, we don’t (usually). It’s kind of disturbing to see you doing that. Just think about it, OK? No voice coming out of a speaker is above scrutiny, especially when they start showing disturbing signs of behaving not-so-conservative. The money that a good number of talk-show hosts were getting from Cruz PACs is payola (when it’s not disclosed), which is a violation of federal law. I think the MSM knew all about it and looked the other way because it was attempt at taking down Trump. If this was going on against Cruz, Rubio, Bernie, or Hillary (in other words, ANYBODY against Trump) people would’ve gone to prison for it. It’s a hell of a coincidence that when Cruz PACs paid $8 million to an insider at Rigel Strategies LLC, most of talk-radio including Rush suddenly fell in line with Cruz. Since it was a plot against Trump, the MSM and FCC let it slide.
If you think that I deify Limbaugh then you are wrong.
That is your second mistake. True, I have listened to
him longer than 99.9% of all FReepers. But that just
means that I have had more opportunity to understand
him than you and the rest of the Rush conspiracy crowd.
What you guys always seem to do is to pound on the
evidence that points in your preferred direction and
ignore the rest. Did Limbaugh ever defend Trump? What
does Limbaugh have to say about Trump now?
Limbaugh has been in the national radio talk show
business for somewhere around eight presidential
election cycles. Do you really think he would have
been around this long if all he did was savage
primary candidates only then to have to kiss butt
in the general election? Tell me when was it that
outspoken Trump accused Limbaugh of being in
the tank for Cruz? I missed that. Maybe because
he knows that Limbaugh’s second goal is to
defend conservatism against liberalism. Of
course his first goal is to secure and hold as big
an audience as possible. Limbaugh knows he
can’t do that if he focuses on one candidate
during the primary season. Why is that such a
difficult concept to understand? You and
conspiracy friends just won’t see the big
picture.
