You ding dongs,
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to say whatever the heck you want without consequences. It only means our government won't lock you away for saying it. Rush discovered now (for the second time) that there are consequences. The good news is, he can go on saying all the stupid shit he always says and no federal official will put him in jail for it. However that doesn't mean that the rest of us have to listen to him, like him, or even go into business with him. Another freedom you may be aware of is freedom of association. I guess the rest of the guys in the group decided they'd rather not associate with Rush any more. That's their business.
