I certainly hope that proves to be a false rumor. I haven't listened to Rush lately but what I have noticed with Rush in the past is that he tends to tip toe around the general issue of illegal immigration and amnesties every time a caller brings the subject up. Often he will agree with the caller, make some comment that he will talk about the issue in greater detail later in his show and drop the issue cold.
So I do get the feeling that Rush does get heat from the Republican Higher-Ups on his views about immigration and is "persuaded" to avoid touching on the topic. But to turn around and ENDORSE a Blanket Amnesty on the grounds that Bush is a “Great War President”? That's Absolutely Outrageous. What does that have to do with Amnesties? In fact Amnesties are a National Security Risk to this nation!
If Rush has indeed been muscled by party types to join the Open Borders "Sell Out America" Crowd and use his substantial influence to sell this Cr*p to the rank and file you can bet the ranch that George Bush is laying the groundwork for one HUGE AMNESTY. And it shows just how powerful the Ruling Beltway Elite can be in controlling the media. Scary.
Where did you hear this?
Saw it on another forum from a poster who said it was in Rush's latest newsletter, the rationale apparently used to encouraging the House to write a bill in favor of amnesty has the following quote: "While it's morally wrong and politically unwise...(silence) this is a great war president".
This particular poster is the only source I've heard the news from and have been seeking confirmation of it, but if it is true it definitely looks like there may be some conditioning of the conservative masses being attempted. Big mistake if Rush thinks we can be brainwashed into such a ludicrous idea. He's better off sticking to the Ted Kennedy parodies, that's the only reason why I ever listened to him anyway.
