I never said anything about blaming. I think placing blame at this stage of the game is highly irrelevant and chilidish.

I’ve called for no media to be silenced. I did discuss in a previous post how it might be fun to silence Rush by coming up with a more popular program. Any Ideas?

Even I don’t take Rush for more than entertainment. Squirm all you want. It’s people like you that make even cenrtrist-Dems tune in for the laugh factor.

As a resident of the rural west, I’m interested in real debate. I’m happy to wear your “FUCK YOU” at my side in a sheath. I’m glad you consider me enlightened, I always wanted to start some yoga.

I’m glad you don’t take Rush Limbaugh seriously.

Sure, “some” people would call it “treason”. Fortunately for us, **RUSH** isn’t calling it treason. Presumably because he’s so classy. Or possibly because he wants plausible deniability.

Sadly, it seems like he’s encouraging others to call it treason. But that can’t be right. Certainly not a paragon of open-mindedness and virtue (and moderation!) like Rush.

If hit helps, **jj** , you’re actually seeing lil’ **duffer** at the top of his game. Now just stand back and be impressed.
