Rush Limbaugh 'Straight Shooter' Tucson Billboard Stirs Controversy, Is Removed


he took this billboard in Tucson down

 

[Truthmatters]

It appeared to have bullet holes in it

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Not sure I see the point. There are bullet holes....and? When I target shoot there are bullet holes in the target but I don't cry when I look at it.

 

[Rinata]

He is advertising his radio program. Why show bullets on the ad??? I don't see the point of that.

 

[California Girl]

I think it was appropriate to remove it. It was insensitive.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Shows some sensitivity from the Rushanator. Good for him.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I don't see a connection here. I see a sign with bullet holes. Sorry.

I don't think an old billboard is reason enough to use "incendiary rhetoric" against El Rushbo. Is Olshansky trying to inflame Limbaugh critics here?

Even gun metaphors need a rest now and again.

In the wake of the Tucson, Ariz., shooting at an event hosted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh has been emphatic in his assertion that he and other right-wing political figures in no way contributed to the mindset of suspected gunman Jared Loughner. But an unfortunate billboard advertising Limbaugh's show has given his critics some ammunition of their own.

I think the victims of this would thank him for removing it

 

[Revere]

Uh, the local affiliate took it down. Rush has nothing to do with it.

The New York-based blogger "copyranter," who describes himself as an advertising copywriter with 18 years experience, posted the picture from Reddit on his site, noting that the billboard had "actually been there for quite some time" and that it was created by KNST, the Tucson station on which Limbaugh's program airs.

Rush will continue to "shoot straight."

Tell me, what doesn't offend people these days?

 

[Truthmatters]

I think it was a good move.

I was trying to give Rush some kudos for removing it.

He may have been consulted and approved of the removal.

 

[Revere]

Don't think so. Keep your kudos. Rush isn't apologizing to anyone. As well he should not.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Tell me, what doesn't offend people these days?

The wussification continues. I think we'll start to see people cry for no reason at all pretty soon.

 

[Truthmatters]

not supporting violent imagery has nothing to do with manlyness

 

[Revere]

If you listen to him, which I doubt you do, he isn't backing down one bit.

He's on offense.

 

[Truthmatters]

I never said he was backing down, I said it was a good move to respect the people of Tucson in their healing

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Bullets killing 6 people is violence. Bullet holes on a billboard is not. See the difference? Of course not.

 

[Revere]

The local station took it down. What part of that can't you comprehend?

 

[Truthmatters]

And Rush was never called and asked his opinion?

How do you know?
