Presented for your amusement, an e-mail that came into the radio station at which I work on the weekends. There is something peculiar which jumped out at me right away. Actually, a lot of peculiar things jumped out at me, but this stood out. I wonder if anybody else notices what I noticed right off the bat. Enjoy.

I’m not sure what it was that jumped out at you, but I found the phrase “Please consider this request” at the end to be laughable given he’d already issued an ultimatum.
$10 says they aren’t the station’s advertiser’s supporters, anyway.
BTW, my phone’s been ringing all day, and none of *them* have called, yet, and I don’t expect them to call. That threat’s just lib-BS, as Rush’s advertiser-threats were.
For me, it was the quotation marks!
This moron. Actually, a moron-ette, (I assume it's of the female persuasion based on the spelling of its name) didn't even bother hiding any pretense that it's a chain e-mail.
IF this guy has 10 friends I can assure you they weren’t listening to Rush anyway.
“He’s working on a base 10 network” ...
He’s working on a base 10 IQ.
You need “10 friends” for the program to work.
Else /EOJ!
As much as I support the fact that it's your right to air whatever programming you see fit, I don't support your right to air whatever programming I don't see fit.
Since a lot of Rush’s advertisers are selling laundry detergent, deodorant, toothpaste and mouth wash, I would bet his “10 friends” are way ahead of him.
What jumped out at me was the reference to using the FCC to silence the station. The Administration has control of the FCC, and in any coup d’etat the opposition must be silenced. The opposition voice in America is now for all practical purposes relegated only to the internet and the radio........both are top targets of the DNC.

Well, he has ten, twenty if you count his toes, but only three at a time fit on his tool.

"Nice radio station you have here. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
Base 10...or 2...all your base are belong to us...
You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip. This fool will probably never have any money to patronize any sponsers. That degree in medieval poetry for $150K, you know...
What also caught my eye was the threat of reporting to the FCC - with a totally specious complaint. Rush is not required to broadcast “in the public interest”.
Only news and emergency information is “REQUIRED” - not talk radio or opinion radio.
That’s definitely a liberal statement. They want everybody to be “equal” .. NOT POSSIBLE.
I know this because I worked for a radio/TV complex in Oregon; however, the FCC is a political appointment and they can make up some really stupid rules.
No kidding. We get voice mails that are less nuanced than that but convey the same...ummmmm...concern.
It’s a line from an old television commercial. I bet you a woman wrote this.

Well, we have one sponsor whose establishment she may frequent - a local mental health clinic.
The letter seems to be based on advice given at Daily Kos and Examiner.
I did a Bing search, and only turned up this thread at FR. But a Google search turned up that advice as items 2 and 3:
