Last night, I linked to the story about Arby’s blocking conservatives on Twitter for protesting the company’s protest of conservative talk show giant Rush Limbaugh.
Today, the Right Sphere notes that Arby’s president is a big Democrat donor.
Here’s the bottom line on this latest manufactured attempt by the Hush Rush mob to make it appear that he and the radio stations that carry his show are suffering economic harm because of Soros monkey-directed pressure.
It’s complete bull. Total Kabuki theater. Arby’s is not and has not ever been a national sponsor of Rush’s program. In the radio industry, advertisers can buy “Run of Schedule” — commercials that are to be aired during different times of the day for more than one day on local stations. Arby’s most likely told local stations not to run their ads during Rush’s show. That is not a cancellation of an ad buy; there’s no loss of money.
This is prog gesture politics to create the appearance of an anti-Rush advertising stampede. It’s astro-turfed by lying Media Matters hitmen.

Better than nothing, thanks.
At least Jesse Jackson doesn’t work there.
Arby’s was magnificent in the 1960s and for a time after that. In the 1980s I went to a Florida Arby’s with my wife and daughter. I was flabergasted (mrs. jimfree thought I was very unreasonable) at the pressed and formed beef. It just wasn’t the same. I lately have eaten at Arby’s, always dousing the beef with a large measure of the horseradish sauce. But it has never been the same. We both know today where to go for real roast beef. It’s somewhere else.
Irrespective of politics Arby’s is not very good.
Not anymore. Wendy’s is still owned by Triarc. They sold off Arby’s.
I think there is a relation between the recent announcements from Arby’s and Walgreens pulling local ads from Rush and the new Huckabee show just starting. Arby’s is owned by Rourk Capital, who are big Romney supporters. Huckabee is supporting Romney too. I would not be surprised if the left (MediaMatters) and the center-left (Rinos) are both trying to take down Rush and conservatism.
I keep on wondering why are Arby’s and Walgreens doing thus now, when Rush apologized over the incident over a month ago. I think giving a spotlight to Huckabee and RinoRadio is the answer.
Interesting theory. May be something to that.
