Professor Rush "We gotta redefine smart"

[vetalalumni]

The more you guys write about him and discuss him, the more you legitimize him.

In fact, Rush is a great asset because he inadvertantly strengthens opposing arguments. Illegitimacy is not redefined legitimate magically, or by mere personality alone. Authentic is both humble and strong.

Youve paid attention to what he's said and are repeating it, giving him credit for the quotes.

It is wise to analyze powerful influences, whether agreed with or not. To ignore would be detrimentally arrogant.

Youve helped him more than hurt him.

Contrary, he ultimately hurts his followers to their detriment. He appears to not care about that. As far as helping Rush [[financially?), I'll take that anyday [[in the scheme of things). This is America after all.

He's successfully struck a nerve with the anti-"dittoheads".

Nope. Not wearing emotions or sentiments on my sleeve at all. About the best Rush has done is reveal that many who disagree with him wisely want him to continue. Other than that, admittedly he has caused some to reveal their strategically held hand. Furthermore, and fundamentally, striking a nerve is typically a dishonorable tactic anyway

Youve given him the publicity he wants for free.

The free publicity supports opposing arguments and ultimately hurts his followers.

Hey Rush - Rock on !!! Run for office even [[heck, you've done so informally already).
