I never said Rush didn’t make a mistake. In fact, I agree he did, but I think apologizing is a mistake in that it has made it worse.

But again, you miss the big picture. You are technically correct on the free speech issue, but you are missing the point of gangster government and their Soros led businesses using their influence to have a chilling effect on free speech.

And the other issue is PC and the double standard, shown here by Carbonite advertising on The Ed Show months after he called Laura Ingraham a right wing slut.

Now last time I checked, Laura was not asking me to pay for her rubbers because she was screwing so many men.

And the last issue is that by jumping on to the “yes Rush should have apologized” you are probably piling on. I don’t think even Rush wants his fans to “agree” with the apology.

No. I’m not missing the larger argument of gangster government and coersion on businesses that don’t toe the line. Nevertheless, it’s honorable to admit it when one makes a mistake. That doesn’t mean Rush has to back down on everything he said, but he should admit it when he makes a mistake and then counterattack with the exact things you mention, like the double standard for conservatives.
