They are going bankrupt.
I mean Rush is actively joining twitter.
Not shocking.
You know, I’m sorry but I just can’t work up much enthusiasm other than the bare minimum for Rush these days. Not because he wasn’t savaged by the Ministry of Propaganda, AKA, the lame-stream media. He was.
Not one word about Sheriff Joe’s report on fraud and forgery.
He’s just another entertainer.
Meh. I’ve got bigger concerns.
Actually he joined before but is just now tweeting
Media Matters astroturfed the Limbaugh secondary boycott
It is considered proper etiquette to use the published headline when posting threads to the News forum, to help prevent duplicate threads.

Angelo Carusone
REMEMBER...Media Matters is a 501(c)(3) TAX EXEMPT organization who is NOT suppose to carry on PARTISAN POLITICAL activity!!!
******
Although launched just this weekend, Carusone has been planning this campaign for some time now. He has owned the @StopRush twitter identity since January 2010, publicly stating while campaigning for his @StopBeck movement on several liberal and progressive blogs and web radio shows in the past, that he has had similar campaigns planned for Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity.
Carusone may be best known for a similar campaign waged for over two years against another familiar conservative radio talk show host and television personality Glenn Beck. He takes credit (along with others) for removing Beck from his daily Fox News television show. He manages a companion campaign, Drop Fox, on behalf of Media Matters.

Report: Limbaugh advertiser boycott orchestrated by Media Matters
Examiner.com
The so-called mainstream media - known here as the “Democrat-media complex” - wants everyone to think the secondary boycott by advertisers against Rush Limbaugh is in response to the public’s outrage over his remarks about Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown student who told Congressional Democrats coeds are going broke buying contraception.
But a post at Legal Insurrection says that isn’t the case.
“In fact,” William A. Jacobsen wrote Thursday, “the secondary boycott was initiated by and driven by Media Matters, which had a “Stop Limbaugh” campaign on the shelf waiting to be used, and was executed by Angelo Carusone, Director of Online Strategy for Media Matters.”
Jacobsen adds that before joining Media Matters in 2010, Carusone was behind efforts against talk show host Glenn Beck and is “behind Stop Fox News and Stop Limbaugh efforts.”

Media Matters is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization
Section 501(c)(3) organizations are subject to limits or absolute prohibitions on engaging in political activities and risk loss of status as tax exempt status if violated.
Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are prohibited from conducting political campaign activities to intervene in elections to public office.
Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.
As part of its examination program, the IRS also monitors whether organizations are complying with the prohibition.

If Media Matters qualifies for 501(c)(3) status so does FreeRepublic!
All of you need to take a close, thoughtful look at the revelations of investigator, Doug Hagmann, who has documented major news and talk show personalities and companies who have been threatened by Soros-funded operatives if they address the "elig" issue.
Similar threats have, apparently, been made to government officials, judges, et al...
A good place to start learning why Øbozo eligibility is taboo in the media is with
"Who Is Behind Quashing the Birth Certificate Issue?" at Canada Free Press. Here's an excerpt:
NOW WE KNOW WHY
In an explosive interview by Dr. Laurie Roth on her syndicated West Coast radio show on August 7th, Douglas Hagmann—a respected journalist, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network and longtime private investigator, and Judi McLeod, a prolific journalist and the managing editor of Canada Free Press—the reason for the media blackout about the birth-certificate issue was nothing less than organized Mafia-like dire threats to members of the media issued not only from the heads of major TV and radio stations but also from Federal Communication Commission officials!
According to Hagmann and McLeod, who conducted a nine-month investigation and documented their findings scrupulously, after Obama was elected but before he was inaugurated:
- A major TV talk-show host reported that he was ordered not to raise the birth certificate issue or risk losing his job.
- FCC officials threatened to yank broadcasting licenses, break up conglomerates, and make the enactment of the Fairness Doctrine “look mild” in comparison to other consequences.
- In at least one corporate TV headquarters, memos were circulated to all on-air employees not to mention the birth certificate issue, as well as other specific subjects like Obama’s Illinois lawyer’s license, his college records, etc., under both implied and explicit threats.
The entire article is worth reading.

There is lots more information on why "nobody will touch the Øbozo eligibility issue", but the above is a start...

At least, you can see for yourselves that Rush's avoidance of the issue is real -- and probably not by choice...
