It was amusing to hear Rush talk about the DUmpster's misguided post. And thank you for starting a thread about this (not that I've read the whole thread).
Just to clarify for those who may not have heard Rush's comments and might misunderstand the situation, Rush did NOT advocate or imply that one should crash DU or other web sites.
Rush simply pointed out the hate and frustration in the DU post. Indeed, Rush didn't have the correct name for DU. Unless I misheard, he referred to the site as "Democrat Underground dot org or com," NOT the correct name of "Democratic Underground."
Going to any public web site is fine, but Rush and FReepers (at least the overwhelming majority) know that intentionally crashing a web site is both wrong and counterproductive.
PS. I'll never forget your kindness at the Sept 2002 Walk to Remember 9/11 when you gave the Navy flag to the father of a Navy man who perished at the Pentagon.
