Apparently there was a Rush Limbaugh billboard in Tucson. I\u2019ll tell you a little story. I didn\u2019t know about it. I had no idea about this billboard <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"585\" class=\"alignright\"\/>\u2019til somebody sent me a picture of it yesterday. (interutpion) Yeah, the &#8216;straight shooter\u2019 billboard: &#8216;Rush Limbaugh, straight shooter,\u2019 and it was filled with bullet holes. The billboard was filled with bullet holes and it had a the call letters KNST, talk radio, whatever it was. When I saw the picture and somebody said, &#8216;Rush, look at this! Rush, look! What do you think of this?\u2019 I thought (honest to God because of previous billboards) whoever put the billboard up wanted to make it look like people that didn\u2019t like me were shooting at the billboard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause that\u2019s what it looks like: Somebody had been shooting at the billboard, meaning angry liberals shooting at the billboard. It calls me a &#8216;straight shooter.\u2019 Now, the reason I thought this &#8212; and Clear Channel put the billboard up. They\u2019ve taken it down, and I didn\u2019t know anything about it. (laughing) When I was in Sacramento, one of the best billboard campaigns we had (and of course I was considered to be controversial there) was a billboard all around town, but it was the same billboard, and it was white with the text: &#8216;Rush Limbaugh is a wonderful human being,\u2019 and a couple weeks later the billboard went up with tomatoes and other vegetables having been thrown at the billboard, as though people were defacing it. <\/p>\n<p>Then two weeks later, more defacing of the billboard to make it look like people were trying to rip it down. Then the next billboard after that&#8230; We did put these up. The next billboard was a hand on a car radio dial (back when car radios had push buttons) and the hand was pushing a button for KFBK AM 1530, and the billboard said, &#8216;Wouldn\u2019t you just love to punch Rush Limbaugh?\u2019 I mean, I have agreed to billboards being put up promoting violence against me! I didn\u2019t think anything of it. It was funny. &#8216;Wouldn\u2019t you just love to punch&#8230;?\u2019 It was a creative billboard! &#8216;Wouldn\u2019t you just love to punch Rush Limbaugh?\u2019 Punch the station. <\/p>\n<p>So when I saw a picture of this billboard out in Tucson (laughing) I thought some creative guy had put a billboard up and then put bullet holes in it as though others, liberals, were shooting the billboard. That\u2019s what it looks like. (interruption) What are you laughing at in there, Snerdley? What, you can\u2019t believe I\u2019m talking&#8230;? (interruption) No, there were pictures of bullet holes. It was made to look&#8230; (interruption) They\u2019re not real bullet holes, Dawn. No, because they\u2019d needed like a 48-inch gun to make these holes. These were (laughing)&#8230; No, it was just made to look like it. They were painted on. It looked like the billboard had been shot. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The story about the Tucson billboard. My first thought was that some creative billboard writer in Tucson had put that thing up. &#8216;Rush Limbaugh, straight shooter,\u2019 and that the idea was that angry Democrats in Tucson were firing along bullets at the thing. You look at the picture of the billboard, it\u2019s what it looks like. It doesn\u2019t look like I\u2019m shooting anything. I\u2019m not even pictured! It\u2019s a billboard with my name on it with bullet holes in it. What\u2019s anybody gonna conclude? Anyway, they\u2019ve taken down. If you haven\u2019t seen it, you haven\u2019t seen it. You\u2019ve missed it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Guess what the media is with a buzz with right now? Apparently there was a Rush Limbaugh billboard in Tucson.
