Who can forget Redstate calling Rush "Marshal Petain"?

Probably no one has earned more leeway from conservative voters and pundits than Rush Limbaugh. Rush has been a tireless force for the conservative movement for decades, and he probably is responsible for a whole lot of conservative Republicans who are currently in office. But thankfulness for past service only goes so far, and Rush’s program yesterday officially crossed the line.
When I think about Rush’s last year or so on air, I’m reminded of Marshall Phillipe Petain, one of the most intriguing figures of the twentieth century. Without Petain, the French might not have prevailed over the Germans at Verdun, and thus might have lost World War I. But for as much thanks as France owed Petain for his service in World War I, the full historical reckoning for Petain must acknowledge that Petain was a Nazi collaborator, the leader of Vichy France, and a totalitarian dictator. Petain’s history is complicated, and to tell the whole tale honestly requires acknowledging both the good and the bad.
So it is with Rush. For all he has done, and for all we should be thankful for, it is hard to deny that Donald Trump has brought conservatism to a critical moment. From this moment forward, it will either resemble the vision Rush has preached for thirty years, or it will not. It will either move forward as a recognizable force, or it will be destroyed with Trump in a historic landslide election.
And Rush has chosen the wrong side, and is moreover taking a leadership position.

RedState lost all credibility
They are trying to distance themselves from the hardcore anti Trump stance they took the entire way
I wont forget
They probably lost most of their readers

Redstate was wrong. Rush was right. And so it was...

I disagree. They are not cucks. They don't think Trump is a true conservative and went all in on that position.
They helped organize the resistance to Obama when it seemed all was lost and did a damn good job of it for several years. They were a whole lot closer to the people out there than the National Review and Chamber crowd.
They just let their emotions get the better of themselves with trump.

just wondering if you check in with him about coming back
Posted on 1/22/17 at 6:40 pm to TrueTiger
It's been a couple of years since I did. Seemed like he moved on.
Posted on 1/22/17 at 6:42 pm to prplhze2000
That's what I thought. A few years back Chicken implied that he really he wasn't banned anymore.
He's probably got more important things to do than entertain us.

Forget about Toothpick. We have Space Cowboy now to take his place.
