Range War On Hypocrisy
The hate Rush rhetoric is growing. Alumni at University of North Carolina want the school to pull its "Tar Heel Sports Network" from stations that carry the his talk show. Several of our affiliate radio stations have told us local activists are also targeting Rush Limbaugh advertisers. Many of you farmers and ranchers have tuned into Rush for years, so is this treatment warranted? I’m Susan Allen I’ll share my two cents when Open Range returns. We live in a very unforgiving society, but only it seems if you are politically conservative. Rush Limbaugh has apologized for his rude comment about a law Student, yes it was uncalled for, but when you are doing three hours of live unscripted radio each day for over twenty years sooner or later you will say something stupid . How is that worse than the “scripted” cruel and appalling comments David Lettermen made about Sarah Palin’s daughter and disabled child, or the demeaning music played when conservitive politician Michelle Bachman walked on stage? One Wall Street Journal contributor recently reflected that the liberal comedian atheist Bill Maher has called conservative women things far more vulgar then Rush yet Obama’s superPak keeps his millions. Sadly So what’s happened to integrity, treating people fairly, equally, what Teddy Roosevelt called a “square deal”. In the book Cowboy Ethics, James. P Owen, writes that “the classic Western hero is the man who stands up for what is right, who rectifies injustice wherever he sees it and exacts retribution when it is due. Its time for a range war against media hypocrisy.
