“So why didnt he ask for OUR support? This turd can not be polished....”
Maybe not, but that is who he is. I remember the early days. As he was building up his audience, all he mentioned was the number of radio stations that carried him. He simply care about his audience size (probably because he figured that would follow), but the locals were EVERYTHING to him. When there was an attempt to silence him - in North Florida, he went out there and ended that problem.
We may feel let down - but Rush is as loyal as I’ve ever seen anyone - and if his locals were starting to feel the heat, he had to yield. As for us - we can take it or leave it. Rush will still not be compromised, but he will not let his locals go down, particularly over something that is relatively trivial.
Not before asking his locals to sit back and give his audience a chance to be heard.....
