If you listen to the left wing blogosphere and talking heads, you would think that the best thing Rush could expect would be a tar feathering and a ride out of town on a rail! But hold on a minute, before we condemn him forever as a result of a two minute rant for which he has already apologized, we think there are other factors to be heard here.
This "holier than thou" attitude expressed by the left is a bit cynical especially when it is measured against some other talkers. A couple examples will suffice. Ed Shultz called Laura Ingraham a "right wing slut" and Bill Maher (who recently gave the Obama campaign $1,000,000) called Sarah Palin a "dumb twat." Where are these holy rollers when it comes to those on the left? I guess it is OK to call someone a name if you agree with them!
Rush admitted he made a mistake of going to their level and that he did not think of Sandra Fluke in the way he had expressed. We accept his apology even though she does not!
We find the disingenuousness of this entire episode very unsettling. Rush has spent 15 hours a week talking about the issues of the day for 20 plus years and now over a two minute rant, for which he apologized, they want him removed from the air. Whether you agree with his politics or not, that is wrong. It is especially egregious when you see the same things being said about conservatives and there is no outcry.
Just listen to a "progressive" station and what you will hear, would make Rush's statements sound like a Sunday School class. The left is not pure when it comes to inaccurate assessments as we pointed out earlier. As an example, we have included an article which illustrates some of the love the Left wants to show Rush.
We believe that In response to a boycott by several advertisers, it is time for a reverse boycott. Any company which pulls its ads from Rush's program will get an email or phone call from us. We should tell them that we will not purchase any of their products until they start adverting again. Conservatives buy goods otherwise these companies would not have been purchasing time, so it will get their attention if we conservatives withdraw our support from them. Are you with us?

I agree he chose his words poorly. But I am inclined to boycott these advertisers for biting the hand that feeds. My company only uses a few of these products at a corporate level, but I'll tell you that we will probably switch to the competition over the next quarter. An appology should be enough, and I fear this was a knee jerk reaction for these advirtisers.
