I just know that if I voted for Trump the last thing I would want to do is criticize another person for their charitable contributions.
I didn’t vote for him based on his charitable giving. I voted for him to prevent the roll-out of the radical left policies that will weaken America, and to keep Harris from ascending to the presidency.

Choices aren’t all black and white.

(And you have no standing to criticize Trump considering the way China Joe has enriched his family)

Sorry. Limbaugh being generous to charity doesn't at all negate the impacts of his bullying mysogyny, bigotry, racism and coarsening of national discourse.

up until 1987 we had an FCC rule that regulated equal time between opposing points of view the conservatives abolished the "fair play" part...


the rule only applied to airwaves and not cable however it was that ruling which has led to the meanness we see today...if not rush then another would be be blamed

It isn't an accident that Rush's rise to fame came after the abolishment of the Fairness Doctrine.

Since the left has changed the meanings of all these words, they have no meaning anymore. They can be applied to anyone. Even on the left, many are finding themselves ensnared in the same ridiculous net that they, themselves, have cast. Most Americans, Rush included, are decent people. We all have flaws. We all say things sometimes that aren't politically correct. I wish we could go back to saving our venom for the truly despicable people of the world, like Klansmen and neo-nazis, and leave everyone else alone to be the flawed humans that we are. This whole "woke" phenomenon is what is "coarsening national discourse".

There are dozens. I linked to one of them elsewhere on this thread. It’s been known for years that conservatives, on average, give more to charity than liberals. You act like you never heard this before.

That same year, he donated his son’s drum set, and claimed a $700 deduction.

Again, libs are such hypocrites.
At least he didn't donate his used underwear and take a tax deduction for them as Clinton did.

So he kept his donations private in order to pander to the intolerance of his audience? Now that's jaded. Partisanship really does warp the mind and give one a jaundiced perspective. You've given me something to ponder over a glass of whiskey this evening. Perhaps it's time to shift more of my attention towards one of my other hobbies. This one is not healthy for the mind.
