In July 2019 Nike announced a special Fourth of July edition of their Air Max 1 Quick Strike sneaker that featured the thirteen-star Betsy Ross flag. The company withdrew the sneaker after their spokesman Colin Kaepernick raised concerns that the symbol represented an era of black enslavement.[109] In response Limbaugh's radio program introduced a t-shirt imprinted "Stand up for Betsy Ross" with sale proceeds to benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. As of December 2019 the sales have earned over $5M USD for the foundation.[110]


That is right - he has a long history of deliberately fanning racial hatred and fear for ratings and.politic ends.

Promoting patriotism and generating meaningful $$

No apologies needed.

Not for good charities, no,  but rather for all the hateful and bigoted spew you've apparently missed the last few decades.   Josh's list of Rush quotes a few pages back is a useful sample.   You declare your outrage regularly for "haters" but seem to completely ignore Limbaugh bile and spleen,  lies,  slander,  and the general way he's lowered discourse.   Makes sense,  I guess,  since you've also done that with Fearless Leader.

I haven't defended Limbaugh, nor am I a listener.

OJ has better mental health, character, personal habits, and relationships than trump.

If you are suggesting a replacement, OJ would be a better president than trump.

Pence, any of the children or surviving sycophants in the cabinet would be lateral moves at best.

"The real argument here is that some people think there's a real yearning for a left-wing revolution in this country, and if we just appeal to the people who feel that, we'll grow and excite them and we'll win. But there's a word a lot of people hate that I love: politics. It means building coalitions to win elections. It means sometimes having to sit back and listen to what people think and framing your message accordingly."

OJ was acquitted of murder... he went to jail because he still thought he was OJ.

You are full of shit.

You have defended him repeatedly in two different ways.

You have praised him. And you have failed to castigate him.

Yes, Ward has praised him, too, but your claim that "Promoting patriotism and generating meaningful $$" is not defending him is just plain dumb.

Dont listen to the show
Dont read his books
Know nothing about him

But I do respect the 5 mil he raised with the patriotic t-shirt - and his other charitable work/donation.  As should you.

The third sentence seems to contradict the next two.

Yes.  And the last sentence is what some famous philosopher has referred to as The Hitler Pets a Dog argument.  Basically, the HPADA posits that, if you have seen a horrible person do something nice, that must mean they deserve respect and possibly a revisionist account of all the horrible things they've done.  It's generally considered a fallacy.
