Rush is not stupid. I think he has a strategy in this whole ting and knows he has to be careful how he plays this.
This is a dangerous game with incalculable repercussions.....
In the light of a curious attitude on the part of many of the general public, Rush knows full well the pitfalls. You will be aware of the instances I give, but to get my point across I mention them. Dan Quayle had many strong personal characteristics, yet he honed the contempt of the usual suspects on his "Murphy Brown" statement. This on the value of two parents, not a single one. One move on spelling potato the old fashioned way and he was flattened.
They are just waiting for a major so- called "gaffe" on Rush's part. He will not give 'em the chance. Bill Cunningham's radio show on Sundays, allows that "only ten percent of me, believes the president was not born in the US. " Pretty smart tactic here. He then allows all and sundry to fire away on the subject, including Joseph Farah of WND. Callers are allowed full rein and sound like Freepers in some cases.
Bill thrown under the bus by Senator McCain, as he warmed up the crowd for the nominee. As most people will recall, Bill used the name Hussein to introduce the now president. Senator John tut tutted and appeared most perturbed over this.
Good post, I heartily agree.
I think we some times as posters here forget that we are in an entirely different position then some one like Rush is...that is we have about zilch influence even collectively vs the shock waves Rush can cause. IMO, he caries a very heavy burden and has to choose words carefully.
We can individually speak freely without consequence (other then a zot), Rush has no such luxury.
Not to mention we do not have anything to lose by speaking what we think is the truth, Rush, and those who similarly do what he does, do.
Yep, you don't last as long as he has without being able to our fox them at their own game, and he has.
Just another reason they hate him so much.
