Where's the outrage against Rush Limbaugh?

At least his guilt over being called on something that he still won't take responsibility for are going to do a little bit of good.

What's pathetic is that he is so greedy and selfish that he has to con his listeners out of donations when he signed a contract that was worth over $200M. But he wouldn't really be a Republican if he used his own money and took responsibility for his gaffs, now would he?

Boy, those partisan shades are dark this morning.

Rush is paying all fees associated with the auction - eBay's cut is going to be pretty substantial.

I expect the kook sites are quite busy writing left-wing talking points to mask this one.

EDIT: Rush is also making a matching donation equal to the final bid price.

Rush's net worth is really of no merit here. He's giving a large sum to a fine charity. What are your heroes doing?

One of the things that I have seen a lot of lately is this rush to censor people for the things that they say. We have the right to free speech. If you can't handle that, go someplace else, or don't pay any attention to the things that fry your goose.

Apparently you don't get it. No one on the left (on this board anyway) has claimed that Rush should be censored.

The argument is that the Republican legislators looked like a stampeding herd trying to get to the TV cameras and the microphones in Congress to condemn Moveon's ad. Yet when Rush says something that is equally reprehensible about the soldiers who have put their lives on the line and then proclaim to be against the war, you hear crickets in the room.

The point is to put their hypocrisy on display for what it is, a show of feigned outrage to distract the voters from the issues that truly have an effect on their lives.

What Moveon puts in a newspaper ad and what Rush says to a bunch of lemming listeners doesn't fall into that category. People that I know worrying about whether their spouse will come home alive does. The > $1T that will have been spent on this war does. SCHIP does. Illegally spying on the American population and datamining fall into that category.

Those on the right that are the most vocal about Moveon are the most silent when it comes to the above issues because they are afraid to show the voters in their district where they stand on real topics. But they sure as shit can drape themselves in a flag and scream "Traitor" at anyone that would have enough common sense to question those that keep telling us everything is going great in Iraq when it clearly and most certainly is not.

QFT!

Drudge reports that Harry Reid just "thanked" Rush Limbaugh for his auction on the senate floor.

See, this is the difference between Dems and Repubs in general, Reid is advocating that others go bid on this if they have the means because he believes the cause is more worthwhile than the party's appearance.

The Repubs, no matter who bad they look, march in lock step on the majority of issues regardless of the cause or end result.

Oh please. Harry Reid was caught red-handed looking like a horses' ass (which he is). Only after Rush turned the tables on him did he try to "mend fences" and now, in the speech I linked, he even tries to take credit for Rush's work -- note the use of the word "we" over and over. What a slimeball.

It's cool that Oxcy Morons gaff and Reids overblown reaction to it will benefit someone other than those two Blowhards.

And Limbaugh is matching the bid, donating HIS OWN MONEY. Yes, that is the difference between Dems and Repubs......:laugh:

And how much do George Soros, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc, donate? Yeah, only one side donates, right? Please. Go repeat your partisan garbage to yourself until you start to really believe it.

Like I said in another thread, I know that both sides are very charitable, I was responding to RightIsWrongs idiotic "See, this is the difference between Dems and Repubs in general" partisan bullshit. I was mocking him, because in this particular case, its the Dems urging other people to spend their money, while its the Republicans donating their own money. But I can see where you might have misunderstood my point.

If I misunderstood, my apologies. I applaud those on the right or left for their charity work and contributions, and it irks me when one side or the other starts pointing fingers and trying to reduce it to lowly political points about the superiority/inferiority of the other. In the end result, it comes down to individuals, not parties, that make the difference for so many people. I think the countless people helped by George Soros or Rupert Murdoch are probably just grateful for the assistance and opportunities provided, and not interested in all about the politics of the philanthropists themselves.

Agreed, especially because most people don't follow politics and probably don't even know who those two are, or which party they belong to.
