I agree that he should stop publicly supporting HSUS and should politely distance himself from them. I don’t see any reason to stop listening to his program because of those PSAs, and I don’t think anyone needs a public apology, though.

In Rush’s own state of Florida, lawmakers swept into action a few years ago when they learned that not a cent of money generated from specialty license plates sold to raise money for animal shelters was being given to those shelters. Even HSUS admitted during the debates that money raised for them does not support local shelters where people adopt pets. It’s why they chose their name, so people would be confused.

I have simply maintained that Rush recorded a PSA and not a fund-raising advertisement. I would like for him to clarify on his program that he doesn’t support giving money to organizations that are going to do things with that money that you don’t like, I would like for him to reaffirm his stance supporting the welfare of pets and politely distance himself from the extreme positions of HSUS. However, I think demanding an apology is silly.

It doesn’t matter if Rush personally opposes hunting or not – he’s lending his endorsement to the organization that will use funds raised from that endorsement to ban hunting. He is asking his listeners and others to support HSUS’s work and that includes efforts to ban hunting. He has endorsed their viewpoint, unless he clarifies and denounces their actions on the issue. So far, he’s continued to ignore hunters who have pointed this out completely rather than clarifying his views.

If you are going to make excuses for the NRA for not holding accountable Democrats who swore that Barack Obama respected the 2nd Amendment, then I think it’s pathetic for you to be so indignant that Rush Limbaugh would record a PSA against dog fighting.
