“I love Rush, listen to him everyday that I can, but he should have known that this would be used as a sledge hammer against conservatives. Sigh.”
So what? Everything is used as a sledge hammer against conservatives. We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t.
I agree and that is why our mouthpieces need to be careful what they say and how they say it. In the letters I mentioned before, the misconceptions about things Rush has said is staggering. I am sure that none of them have ever listened to him and get their info from Media Matters or Daily Kos.
In this day of instant communications and sound bites, it is almost impossible to change an impression that has been formed by a media hostile to conservatism. It is crucial that the message by guarded and that everyone in the public eye be constantly aware that every little thing they say can and will be twisted in the MSM.
