Rush Pokes Democrats In Eye With A Sharp Stick
RushLimbaugh.com | 12Oct2007 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/12/2007 10:48:50 AM PDT by Flint

Rush has put the original letter to Clear Channel President for sale on Ebay! The letter from Dirty Harry Reid and signed by 41 Democrap Senators is up for bids. All funds received will be donated to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.

He has challenged all the signers of the letter to match the donation, since they all are such big supporters of our Military.

I think this episode is a testimonial to media bias and slant.

ALL the stories covered had a slant. NONE, note even FNC fully disclosed that Rush’s statements were 100% LIED about.

The media gave token monday coverage but nothing now. not even a crawl.

The DBM is working overtime to conceal this from the public with bias by ommission.

It is great that it is up to over $100,000.00. What I hope that happens is now that republicans will seize on this and point out the hypocrisy of democrats that it is they who use government to attack the citizens of the USA. It is Democrats that want to take a private citizen’s rights and can not be trusted to govern in any manner. I believe this act by democrats will sink any election chances they have at getting back in control as a majority in the white-house and congress in future elections.

Go Rush!!!!!!!Rock On!!!!!!!

Have you guys seen this? Right Wing News posted this about Democrat Underground's response to Rush's letter on e-bay. The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: Stick It To Rush By Taking Money Away From The Children Of Fallen Soldiers

Some of the folks at Democrat Underground are "out there". They are recommending reporting violations to e-bay for " "Hateful, Discriminatory or Racial Language in an item description". LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Applause to Fox & Friends again, who did an update on the Rush letter on eBay story this morning at 6:35. And also to John Gibson:

RUSH: John Gibson, who has done great work on this whole Dingy Harry thing with Media Matters and the smear letter, talked to J.D. Hayworth on The Big Story With John Gibson on the Fox News Channel yesterday, and Gibson said, "Rush says this has not happened before with the Senate, where 41 Senators have called out a private citizen for saying something. Is he right about that?" (cont.)

FNC is reporting ebay is trying to woo back customers by cutting listing prices 33%. The implication that ebay has competition and ebay’s business is failing.

NO MENTION of this senatorial spanking.

Why is a story about ebay has competition on the air but the Rush Limbaugh Auction not covered? This is a DBM effort to sabotage from FNC?! This is like Snapple or Florida Orange Juice. So now the DBM is going to attack ebay.

(dog adoption story is news but senators, two of them presidential candidates, having a public humiliation is not?)

1pm tommorrow ends the auction.

367150+ views of the auction. That means most cable news shows have LOWER ratings.

Thanks for the positive news.

Gibson is one of the few who are a real asset on FNC.

This AM did my morning news surf and found the ebay story.
Must have just missed the Gibson story.

FNF did a story about the err america host being falling down drunk and having her fall being misrepresented by another host as a mugging by right wing thugs. They mention if this had been Rush but no segway to the $117,100.00 current price.

Curious Note: Article appeared yesterday but price was still out of date. No big deal, probably just lazy staffers. ;-p

MY WORD
Rush Limbaugh Turns the Tables
Tuesday, October 16, 2007

By John Gibson

Remember that stink manufactured a week or so ago about Rush Limbaugh?

Forty-one Democrat senators signed a letter to Limbaugh’s boss demanding he be officially scolded over the “phony soldier” flap.

The letter is evidently worth a lot of money and the money is going to the children of Marines and law enforcement who have died in the line of duty.

So the eBay online auction site has now bumped the letter’s value up to $45,000. With the right conservative running the fund, it might actually benefit a few of the kids of people Rush was accused of sliming.

(Click here to read the letter on eBay’s auction page)

He wasn’t sliming soldiers, or Marines, or service people, of course. It was a phony issue made up by the left wing to try to take the “General Betray Us” stink off MoveOn.org and those Democrats who were too cowardly to denounce MoveOn.

Limbaugh is sending the proceeds of the letter auction to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation and he’s challenging the 41 senators who signed the letter to match the amount of the winning bid. Do the math: If the 41 match $45,000 you get $1.8 million or so in the bank for the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.

By the way, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada is the man who led the charge against Rush. His popularity in Nevada has plunged in the most recent poll — a 23-point drop from early May.

His favorable/unfavorable rating is now below both George W. Bush and Rush Limbaugh — which is what I call just desserts.

Reid is wildly out of step with Nevadans, who are an independent, but conservative-minded bunch, especially outside the one big city, Las Vegas. The recent arrivals from L.A. who live out in Henderson, Nevada, mostly, seem to be coming around to the way Nevadans think, especially about somebody like Harry Reid. And good on them.

That’s My Word.

Ebay would have me using the auctions more if (1) they lowered the listing fees (2) they lowered the listing fees and (3) they lowered the listing fees. I can't afford to list stuff that may not sell in the few days duration of a listing.

Ebay's Half.com, however is great. List once, no fees, the listing is easy. They make a fee on the sale, when there is a sale and the listing duration is forever.

Yes I just saw that — Oct 18th thru November 5th. Maybe I’ll list some stuff. Still, not low enough on the listing side.

the DUmies have been doing an “abuse” campaign on this auction and threatening to “go to other sites”

I just suspect this is going to have an “ebay was damaged” story to discourage other types of auctions like this which humiliate the left.

BTW if you search “Rush Limbaugh Reid” on ebay now multiple auctions pop up.

YES!

Want to bet FNC’s Media Matters will poo poo the auction as not news? That democrat senators are not allowed to be rebutted on the news.
