Well…I was going to do the whole Rushwatch thing but I’m bored with it already….I will say that the advertisers that have left has reached 30 this morning and I can understand why…but then the question that immediately comes to mind is: “what took so long?” Ole rush has been doing this same type of nonsense for 20 years and it never bothered anyone before so why now? I think it may have to do with attacking a private citizen; not a public figure who should expect some vitriol at times…especially when they make statements that most people find abhorrent….but, that brings me to the reason why I’m a little torn with the happenings over the past week or so….that included the Rush nonsense along with the Patrica Heaton comments, and those made by Kirk Cameron bashing gays…being the huge supporter of a strict reading of the rights in the Constitution….I find it troubling that the speech of these folks is being subject to so much pressure in disregard of their first amendment rights. People have the right in the US to say outrageous things and to be stupid….and I do agree with the quote that is attributed to Voltaire but may be from other sources: I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it…” Just some thoughts….

Let’s do a Rush watch…
Well…got this idea just a few secs ago and thought it sounded like a good idea at the time…let’s do a daily watch on ole Rush and count the advertisers who have left the show…right now, as of March 6th, the count is up to 20 and shows no signs of stopping…and, I for one, am reveling in the bully getting what’s coming to him….now I urge Clear Channel who is essentially Rush’s boss to at least suspend him…and, to Clear Channel, who thinks ole Rush is the top rated show in most of his markets, take a look at the latest metered results on listeners, not just the paper diaries that Arbitron uses…ole Rush comes in 8th in DC..far behind even NPR….maybe it’s time to send this bully back to his pill mills in Florida…okay, that’s not really fair….I’ll try to stop the personal attacks…but he does deserve it…after all, I didn’t call him a fat f*** loser…
One last thing…I think we should boycott any show that Patricia Heaton is in…during the attacks by Rush…she did the same thing on her Twitter account, although not quite as despicable as Rush’s comments, it again showed the ignorance and mean streak that the right displays every day and should not be supported….
