So now we have it.
Romney to the Huffington Post and her liberal audience: “Governor Romney would disagree with the negative characterization of those men and women who serve with honor and distinction in the United States Military. There may be disagreements with individual opinions, but no one would ever dispute the fact that those members of the military who disagree with the war have earned the right to express that opinion.”
Romney to Hugh Hewitt and his conservative audience: Rush has “got a long record of supporting our soldiers. There’s no question that this is a man who has been very much on the side of our fighting men and women.”
Hewitt’s headline: “Romney and Thompson Defend Rush”

But who did Romney avoid?
Hugh Hewitt has nothing to do with Romney’s attack on “America’s Conservative”, Hugh Hewitt has nothing to do with “Rush’s Republicans”
Mitt Romney still has not personally approached the man he attacked, and if you read Rush’s words, they say it all.
“”””He (Romney) issued a statement: That’s reprehensible what Limbaugh said, horrible, whatever it was he said — and then later in the day somebody from his office called our office. “We just found out that this is a smear, and Mitt will say this if he’s asked about it.” He hasn’t been asked about it, so his statement still stands.”””””
