Attack on Rush backfires

[whitehall]

Senior presidential adviser David (the axe) Axelrod cancelled a scheduled appearance on Bill Maher's show because of public outrage generated when Maher's reputation for public unfunny insults aimed at women was revealed. There is also renewed pressure for the Obama campaign to return the million dollars donated by Maher.

Really? And this has what to do with the fact that the sponsors are fleeing in droves from the obese junkies show?

Get back to me when the Koch Bros call Hillary or Moochelle a twat or a slut or a **** or... well, you get the freekin' point.

Jesus, droves, huh? Can you be a bit more specific?

Meanwhile though I noticed yesterday Rush was still doing his three hours a day, and the local station's been running his promos this morning same as any other weekday. You suppose droves of other advertisers have take the places of the idiots who left?

Listening to Rush now, seems to have plenty of sponsors.

I do nothing with the left's wishful suppositions. The uncomfortable fact is that the liberal media would have gladly ignored Maher's serial insults of women but a single word that Rush apologized for might force democrats to return a million dollars and focuses uncomfortable scrutiny about hate-speech on the left.

And many of the same sponsors he had 3 weeks ago too.

It doesn't matter what the anti-semites on the left think about the Koch brothers. The fact is that the Obama administration assumes that their association with Maher is something to be avoided. It wouldn't have happened if the left wing media didn't fake outrage about Rush using the word "slut".

If they TRULY are offended by Rush's comments then the only honorable action would be to return the donation from a man who makes equally shocking and deplorable comments .

Bill Maher is a comedian, rush says he is an entertainer........ His sponsors are jumping like rats-IMHO he will end up like beck.................... about time

They are both entertainers........what is your point?

 

[WillowTree]

Why was Axelrod scheduled to appear on the "entertainer" Maher show?

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Why was Axelrod scheduled to appear on the "entertainer" Maher show?

To sell some spin to a younger, mostly liberal, crowd....the desired outcome being they actually come out to vote again like in 2008.

Just a small reminder:

"IMHO" =/= fact

And you think Beck is "gone" because you don't ignore him on Fox? Yeah, you just keep thinking that.

Prediction: Obama re-election campaign will NOT give back any money and NO ONE will care.

ex: see public financing issue of 2008 campaign.

better luck making a thread worth reading next time.

His sponsors are'nt jumping like rats.... plus, have you seen Beck lately?

He has his own freeking network now and its really good.

GBTV.com - plus his daily radio show..... yep, it would do Rush some good to go the way of Beck.
