There’s a surprise.

As always, this isn’t about Rush or Trump or any other conservative figure head.

It’s about you. They want to demoralize you.

“Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor that pays respect to fallen heroes and patriots. It is not a partisan political tool,” Fried, a Democrat, said in a statement. “Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard the Governor’s forthcoming order to lower flags for Mr. Limbaugh — because we will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division.


"Lowering the flag should not be partisan, so I am going to disregard a legal order and make this a partisan issue."

Personally, I am not 100% sure Rush should get this treatment, but that's not my call. The governor makes that call and if you don't like go run for governor.

I’d say “Lay back and pretend the last spotted owl has just died.”

People should go to those offices and lower the flags themselves.

States lowered the flags to half staff over George Floyd dying of a Fentanyl overdose.

That is equally inappropriate ... and would have been so EVEN IF Floyd had been the paragon of virtue that his supporters would like to portray.

OK



right, just interchangeable with anyone else

Rush at least was smart enough to know that paternalism based on race is racist

Oh look, Aggiehank is here to play the contrarian in between coffee runs for the partners of his firm.

That was inappropriate and in no way shape or form equitable to Rush. But you do you brah.

This is her reasoning and has nothing to do with being a radio jock.

Not all things you disagree with are hate speech or bigoted or divisive. Those all come with the response to the information he provided.

The least she could do is lower her eyebrows to half mast.
