Publicity whores are best left ignored.

And I guarantee that yesterday (and the rest of this week) will prove to be among his highest ratings.

Take down Fluke? Apparently she goes down ... easy.....often.

[C. Edmund Wright]

You’re on the money about public figures....

I agree, LD. She operates from a place of desperately needing attention.

[autumnraine]

Oh please. The only people who care about this are people who never listen to Rush anyway.

I have seen more “boycott Rush” posts on Facebook from liberals and none from conservative friends.

Anne Rice (who I love to read) ticked off a BOATLOAD of her fans with her “Republicans war on women and hatred of women” post.

She ended up bumbling a few responses and I think was actually surprised that her little cocoon liberal world she lives in represents ALL of America. She learned otherwise.

If you own stock in any of these companies, call your broker and dump it. I know I do not want to be associated with them anymore. If they cannot stand up to the left, the right will not support them.

Speaking of diversity and Floosie Flookie . . .

She also believes that insurance policies should pay for transgender operations and hormones.

“[B]irth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if “gender reassignment” surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. She makes these views clear in an article she co-edited with Karen Hu in the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law.

The title of the article… is “Employment Discrimination Against LGBTQ Persons” and was published in the Journal’s 2011 Annual Review.”

She kind of looks like someone halfway through a transgender operation.

Yep. Medved basically said the same thing in his article yesterday.

I can't seem to find her testimony from any government source.

So is that going to be the meme? She testified before Congress when she actually didn't?

Although not a Gov site, it does provide video of her testimony before a Congressional commitee on women's health, chaired by Rep. Nancy Pelosi:

I’d like to see Rush go nuclear on the fake birth certificate, fake selective service registration, fake SSN, ...

'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.

Rush thrives on controversy. He’s said it before; his listeners are like family and like family, his listeners rally around him when he’s threatened. This just may be the best thing that’s happened to the GOP thus far this election cycle. The base is now energized.

[when the time is right]

Did you notice on yesterday’s program Rush kept saying “if you are a new listener to the program”?

It is obvious Rush knows that whenever one of these media events happen a lot of new people tune in to his show.
Rush is no dummy...a lot of people out there agree with what he said only they never heard him say it before. In the end the advertisers will loose and Rush will win no matter what the press implies.

[HereInTheHeartland]

I have ignored Rush a lot in the past 10 years. When I lived in San Francisco; late 80’s; listened to him as a new guy at work.

I'm angry about this attempt, not to correct him; but to destroy him.
And they don't just mean Rush; they mean all of us who hold conservative views.

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

You owe me a new screen.

[Walmartian]

These people are on a sugar high from the death of A.B. Remember a little tea company called Snapple. This morning while watching CNBC I saw a ticker - Dr. Pepper/Snapple and it reminded me of how small Snapple was before they started advertising on Rush's show. These companies dropping Rush will have to spend their advertising dollars not in the huge Rush market but will instead be forced to choose a smaller audience. The same thing applies to any radio station that drops Rush. What programing are they going to offer for the clients to advertise on that has the audience of Rush?

[Electric Graffiti]

That should be changed to:

I also would like silk sheets, candles, a Katie Lang CD, and a years supply of dental dams.

I agree. That “testifying in front of a congressional committee” was a farce. She was NOT in front of a real hearing. It was staged - note the MSM complicit in all this. Fake everything. Nothing but LIES from this administration AND the Lame Stream Media.

Rush is RIGHT. As he says.... “Don't Doubt Me”. haa. Love him and what he's done for conservatives. More than any of the elite GOP now in congress. That is our problem. Now they want to push Romney down our throats. UGH.

Wow, bet those two radio stations are dead in the water...
