“If he says he was wrong then who are we to claim he was right?”
Oh, how about “people who strongly suspect that his apology was extorted under duress?”
Or, how about “people whose moral compasses are as well developed as his?”
“People who are not getting their arms twisted by business interests?”
“Free Americans who have the privilege of holding and expressing their own opinions?”
Well developed ??? His apology indicates that his ‘moral compass’ has went off in the wrong direction. Further defending him is like claiming the guy who pleaded guilty really didnt mean it.
Speaking of ‘moral compass’ and ‘extorted under duress’ Rush is the same guy who lectures his audience on how Republicans members of congress should hold on during a shutdown standoff EVEN IF IT MEANS LOSING THEIR NEXT election and seat. He sounds pretty brave behind that mike saying what others should give up in a battle. But he loses a few of HIS sponsors to his program and he's almost imediately making a public apology. He does NOT practice what he preaches.
Rush lives in a glass house and shouldn't throw those types of stones and he admitted it when he apologized.
