"I got it! You are a spurned caller mad at Rush because of the constant rejections by his call screener." Yawnnnn.....Wrong again. The two times I was actually able to get through, I was put on the air. The first time was in the early nineties and I asked him why Ted Turner would be contributing to Buchanan's campaign. The other time was in the late nineties, when I reminded him of how Clinton overrode his own weapons ban to allow a campaign contributor to import assualt weapons. He applauded me on remembering what he had forgotten. "I also think you are angry over his well-deserved trashing of soccer moms." Once again, you are wrong --- and also lack reading comprehension. I've already addressed that. I first heard the term from Rush. Even though the term was coined by Time Magazine, Rush made it famous. I adopted the term because I thought it was cute and because, in the literal sense, I am a soccer mom. "You also do not understand Rush's sense of humor." I have a sense of humor and I am secure in myself. That's why I can use the handle "soccermom" and laugh while people like you get your panties in a wad, over a tongue-in-cheek handle. "What you see as insecurity, long time LISTENERS know as his tongue-in-cheek bluster. " I've been listening to Rush since 1991 -- even though you won't admit it, I'll bet that is longer than you have been listening. I am capable of distinguishing his humor -- "feminazis", "tell you what to think" etc. His call-screening line is no joke. He is insecure and your desperate attempts to "spin" why I would have the audacity to say such things exposes your own insecurity.
You ARE a typical soccer mom. You know NOTHING about the radio industry, and its mind-numbing contractual complexities. You also have no comprehension of the business side of industry (this is the behind-the-scenes part you DON'T hear)
Instead,like a typical soccer mom, your blind emotion (which gets worse certain times of the month) and personal dislike for someone trump all logic. "I know what I know, I know I'm right, and that's FINAL!"
It's so bad, you have no idea that you contradicted yourself in posts #12 and #22. In post #12, you claim Rush is insecure of Medved, Hannity, and the rest. Where did you get this inside information? Or, like most rabidly emotional women in an argument, do you just "know" this?
In post #22. you say the opposite: "It is understandable that a host wouldn't want to promote potential "competition." So either you called someone insecure, and you support Rush's "insecurity", or you confused yourself somewhere along your insane rants.
I'll say it one more time, there is NO need for someone to continue filling in for someone else after getting a nationally syndicated program of their own. Fill-in slots are opportunities for up and coming hosts to show their stuff. Right now, Walter Williams doesn't want it, so Roger Hedgecock is the guy. If Roger gets a big radio deal, someone else will take his place, and the whole process starts over again. What don't you understand about this?
It's not about anyone's insecurity. Except perhaps your own.You can have the last word, because I know you wouldn't have it any other way.
