RUSH: I’m still responsible for all the protests out there. Despite never having advocated even a one of them. Oh, yeah, we’ve commented on them, but I haven’t advocated a protest.
I haven’t given marching orders, because I never do. Yesterday on the New York Times website they have a podcast called The Daily, and Jim Rutenberg… This guy used to be dependable years ago when he first got the gig. This is what he had to say about the protests against the states and the governors and their stay-at-home orders.
RUTENBERG: As these protests roll out, they’re becoming a cause celebre in conservative media.
RUSH ARCHIVE: By the way, there are uprisings all over this country against governors and their restrictions.
RUTENBERG: They’re getting tons of play! Rush Limbaugh, all the talk radio hosts! But you have ample coverage on Fox News’ regular news programming as well. We started to see some tweets from the president of the United States. “Liberate Minnesota! Liberate Michigan! Liberate Virginia.”
RUSH: So apparently these protests are really, really bad. They’re really, really rotten. They shouldn’t be happening, and conservatives are responsible for it. I’m responsible for it, the president’s responsible for it, talk radio in general is responsible for them. Fox News is responsible for it! Yet when the left goes out and protests, they are the greatest things in the world!
They are the greatest example of American history. It’s public and popular dissent. They’re “speaking truth to power,” however they characterized. By the way, Gavin Newsom, who is the governor of California, has forbidden public protests on the grounds of the California state capitol in Sacramento.
Permits will no longer be granted for malcontents that want to protest on the capitol grounds — which are gorgeous. It’s a beautiful setup there, the state capitol California. But still, when did protests become horrible and rotten and something we need to blame organizers for? You know the answer to that.
They think we’re incapable of doing such things unless we’re following a Pied Piper or Svengali.
Good job, Rush. Do some more.

OMG, my ears hurt just reading that.
I know right? Like nails on a chalkboard.
The left always thinks that conservatives passively take their marching orders from Rush or Fox News. But if leftists hung around on sites like this for any length of time, they’d know that conservatives take their marching orders from no one, that Fox and other conservative media are often criticized - sometimes vehemently - and that any article posted on this forum is likely to become a locus of bitter contention and disagreement, with people taking opposite points of view, and plenty of name-calling.
Wear it like badge of honor Rush.
In Wisconsin, we have a protest against the lockdown coming soon. The state capitol police have denied a permit for the gathering. COVID-19 is a template for Democrat progressive to erase the Bill of Rights and any who oppose tyranny.
I’ve listened to Rush for about 2 weeks now, that I’m at home. He’s very interesting.
Hey Rush, why don’t you tell people to go out for JUST ONE DAY to protest and let the media see how BIG that would be. Then, they would realize you are NOT the person behind all of the present protests.
Just tell them it was Mr, I will take the blame.
oops, ME!
Rush has no science and not much math.
His serial Monday Morning Water Boy attacks on the models is proof
Now, he don't claim to be an A student
But he's trying to be
For maybe by being an A student, baby
He can open the economy
So what is your solution? Stay holed up indefinitely?
