Quote #1:<\/strong> “Rush, you are an insensitive pig regarding your callous treatment of the unemployed.” Quote #2:<\/strong> “I am appalled at your lack of compassion for the unemployed men and women of America. Obviously you\u2019ve never been unemployed in your life.” That\u2019s my favorite one. Folks, I have been unemployed eight times. I\u2019ve been fired over and over ? including once for no more than playing the Rolling Stone\u2019s Under My Thumb “too many times.”<\/line> Quote #3:<\/strong> “Today\u2019s job market is very competitive.” It always has been. Quote #4:<\/strong> “Decent-paying jobs are hard to find.” They always are. Quote #5:<\/strong> “Your crude comments on the unemployed starting their own businesses is stupid…. When a man isn\u2019t working and struggling to provide for his family he does not have the money to start a business. You show yourself to be a fat, rich Republican.”<\/line>Of course, I\u2019ve been svelte for some years now (video on CNN notwithstanding). Quote #6:<\/strong> “Unemployed men and women are not lazy.” I didn\u2019t say they were. It\u2019s Quote #7 <\/strong>that really burned. “You, Mr. Limbaugh, are totally out of touch; you who make a million dollars per month.” That really bugs me. I have not taken that kind of pay cut ? and wouldn\u2019t be in a position to earn what I do had I listened to the likes of these e-mailers when unemployed. Telling people to believe in themselves is the ultimate <\/emphasize>in compassion.<\/line><\/p>\n
