Better be careful Today Show - you might lose this battle ugly. Rush is no shrinking violet.

Unlike others who might hide - Rush will jump in with both feet - he will play every quote from Today - he will shine the light on this as hard as he can.
Rush will take this to the next level.

Rush gave them fair warning not to try to link the video to him or there would be Legal Action. Prepare to be destroyed.

Don’t watch the Today Show. Did they show the independent video that most MSM claim is a Rush video? Limbaugh basically threatened legal action if they tied him to this video.

Rush mentioned on Friday that Today was planning to use the video that the Sacremento radio station had used. He warned them not to use it, but wasn’t sure if they would listen. I think that Rush would just love to sue NBC.
Did you watch the show? Did they use the phoney video?

"which leads some to wonder: has Limbaugh been getting a free pass?" It was all about silencing Limbaugh. Imus was a sacrificial lamb.

Bottom-line, this was/is the looney-left trying to "Imus" Rush. It didn't work the first time? Well let's trot it out again in a slightly different venue/approach and see if anything sticks this time.
Remember, to the left, politics is a death sport. Enemies are always to be attacked, with absolute political, and if all possible, personal destruction being the final goal. And they've always got willing accomplisses in the MSM.

It was all about silencing Limbaugh. Imus was a sacrificial lamb. But - Rush ain't no Lamb - and he in certainly no IMUS. You won't see Rush grovel.
To: Jake The Goose
Please, bring it on. If you strike down Rush he will come back more powerful then NBC can ever imagine. Rush is going to have a good time with this one. Water off a ducks back!
To: betsyross1776
Right - Rush enjoys this stuff.
To: Jake The Goose
Shouldn’t your attribution be to Mark Finkelstein?
