please read the full article...it's worth a read and worth sending on. I don't listen to Rush LImbaugh, but have been following this controversy closely. By the bye, the author is a GSD owner:-) S http://kysoy.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-voice-that-sets-thoughts-astir.html TUESDAY, MAY 5, 2009 The Irreconcilable Differences of Rush Limbaugh and HSUS. Rush Limbaugh?s opening line is a radio talk show classic. ?With half my brain tied behind my back - just to make it fair.? It?s a funny line, but many of his most ardent supporters have begun to wonder if it?s time for him to stop phoning it in. On April 16, Rush released two Public Service Announcements supporting the ?Humane? Society of the United States (HSUS). It should be noted that their name is misleading - HSUS doesn?t operate a single animal shelter in the U.S. With well over $203 million in assets, less than 4% of their income goes to hands-on care of animals. True animal welfare advocates regard HSUS as, by far, the most dangerous ?animal rights? organization in the country. Mr. Limbaugh?s advocacy for HSUS ignited a firestorm of outrage and protests from farmers, hunters, sportsmen, responsible pet owners, and political conservatives.
