I disagree with everyone who thinks what Rush did was stupid; or that his social commentary was out of line. He DID put his money where his mouth is. He treated himself as the proverbial "minority" in his being hired by a major network; and then in "commenting" as he did. Conservatives are a minority in nearly all media outlets and venues. And in the "equality" game, he said an "equality" statement that has so often, so liberally been uttered by "libs/minorities" about whites, or Cablasians, etc.

Rush defended football when the feminists were out to get it banned, censored, and whatnot (Feminists: during Superbowl breaks, women are being violently beaten every year, every game, ad nauseum). Rush did this. And here, on ESPN, Rush did another "unthinkable". He acted upon the very same Free Speech rights accorded to all liberals and their "allies". Some figure this to be a wrong thing to do. Upholding Rush always as a "standard" of good "bearing". This standard of "good bearing" of "perfection" is the very whipping stick the liberals use to smear, slime and denigrate some very solid fair and sensible people.

Oh How Angry the left is that Rush Dares to Assume he is of the "Liberal -- Annointed, Elitist" class.

Rush just took out, by his very action, another strawdog tactic of the left by which they use to slam everyone "conservative" or "Republican". IMHO, Rush has expanded his audience. Losses go to the pigskin.

Today Rush has more than one black caller say they've been listening since 1988. Never heard one thing that could even be misconstrued as racist...
