Yes, we did support you then. That was before you started calling George W. Bush a traitor, a commie liberal rat, saying he was just like Bill Clinton, and implying he was in bed with the terrorists.

You honestly don't think we'd agree with all that crap, did you?

I called Grover Norquest a traitor not the President and you know that. But go ahead and play the smear game.

Second, my analysis of the chaotic border situation has resulted in my being labeled anti-Mexican, even though I have also focused on the Canadian border and blamed much of the problem on Presidents Clinton and Bush. No one disputes that the porous borders are dangerous in this age of terrorism, and it is undeniable that Mexican nationals themselves are being killed and injured trying to illegally cross over. Yet the fact that I would call for the military to back up the Border Patrol makes me an enemy of an entire ethnic group.

Three, as you may know, my television program was instrumental in breaking the Sami al-Arian story nationally a year and a half ago. During that time, I was routinely described as being anti-Muslim. And even AFTER al-Arian was arrested on terrorism charges, the two television critics working for Tampa Bay newspapers attacked me as being unfair and using McCarthy-like tactics.

Now, I can take the heat. I dish out plenty of commentary and have to expect backlash. But the personal attacks that are launched by special interest groups in this country have reached critical mass -- they are intruding on freedom of the press.

Threats of racial demonization have put a tremendous fear into the journalism industry. These kind of tactics have prevented some news organizations from covering news that is vital to the nation.

And today we have this gem:

Its still interesting to note those that would shut down this discussion and why they want to protect the democrats in the senate and their socialist goals to destroy this country and The Bush Presidency..

I'm off to work a Girl Scout cookie booth so will check back later to see just who is being accused of protecting dems and has socialist goals to destroy this country and the Bush Presidency. It SOUNDS like it's those who disagree with Rush and the poster who stated the above.
