NOBODY should be surprised about this, especially folks on this website. It should come as no surprise to most anyone that that the left will use any-n-all manner of attack to silence people like Rush, Hannity, Savage, or anyone else who dare speak the truth about the "leftist agenda." That's why it is incumbent upon Rush, Hannity, Savage, et al. NOT to give their detractors any ammo to use against them, and unfortunately, this is precisely what Rush has done.
Yeah. What a bad person he is.
(In case you hadn't noticed, Rush does a three hour a day extemporaneous radio program. This should give the detractors plenty of ammo. But that's not their method. They prefer to kneecap their oppostion.)

This 'Rush is a victim of a vast leftwing conspiracy' is claptrap and that defense is totally opposed to all the principles Rush espoused. You are doing him no favor by not insisting he be measured by the same standards he applied to others.
