Check out Rush's<br />Adopt A Soldier <br />program. Stuff they really need, like prepaid phone cards, stationary & stamps, toiletries, disposable cameras....no, wait, that's not it...for $49.95 you can provide a soldier with a full year of Limbaugh podcasts, 24/7 access to premium areas of rushlimbaugh.com, newsletter, other great stuff. Of course this is all just about 100% pure profit for Rush.<br /><br />Click on the donor link & the first paragraph says <br /><br />
Support our men and women in uniform by giving a subscription to Rush 24/7 and the Limbaugh Letter to a member of the US Armed Forces. Adopt as many soldiers as you like at a discounted price...
But note that the "Gift" price is $49.95, same as the regular subscription price. I guess it's "almost right."

Yeah, looks pretty suspect and even slightly misleading. I don't like it at all. I agree 95% profit. Someone has to manage the $ and mailing etc. seems like that would be about it.

That little money making scam got Rush voted as the "worst person of day" award on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

I have to agree that it sounds sorta tacky. I sent my son a ton of stuff when he was in the Army a few years back. Mostly batteries for the cd player I sent him though, lol.

folks if ya cant find anything else, give to the USO.<br /> spent many a night at various USO places and was taken home when I had no place else to go by some of them good folk,all volunterrs, so if ya cant find a program the USO is a sure bet. <br /><br /> I am quite sure if you look about you can see a lot of others have been touched by the USO.<br /><br /> aint nothing like being in a strange place and all your luggage lost and no money than the USO

Simply another reason to think RL is a waste of good air. What a scumbag. The local VFW has problems getting donations for our troops and RL expects to profit from his "doantion." Hopefully God rescinds the "Talent" that is so badly misused.

This is a bogus post.I especially hurl at the point at which you choose to quit quoting the source..That in itself should say it all. But then, i'm on a rant now. At least, you included a direct link, i'll give ya that...<br />I will be certain that the entire story is laid-out to expose your deceitful attack on such a kind and patriotic gesture.<br />You lefties amaze me. You are so anxious to condemn even the smallest gesture of goodness and philanthropy, if it comes from any vestige of the right.<br />Because of your zeal to attack, you so readily gobble-up the tripe your blogs feed you , here is a C&P, posted by me, with full knowledge it was a C&P, and directed towards blowing your hidious, mean-spiritted, deceitful attack on an honest pro-American gift from a great man, and his patriotic listeners COMPLETELY out of the water!<br />To me, it gets personal after a while. Such campaigns against patriotism SICKEN me. <br />Here, Rush HIMSELF explains the entire program..I'm sure Al Franken may think he knows, but then, al probably is not supporting it much, IS HE?<br />So to shed light on your blatent, anti-American post, here ya go...Straight from the horse's mouth!!!<br />
From Rush's site<br /><br />Welcome to the Rush 24/7 Adopt-A-Soldier Program, where service members can register to receive a Rush 24/7 membership from a pool donated by Dittoheads. <br /><br />Sponsors may adopt as many soldiers as they would like at a reduced price. Each adopted soldier will receive a complimentary, one year subscription to Rush 24/7 <br />and the Limbaugh Letter. <br /><br /> If you are an active member of the military who would like to register, or a family member or friend of an active member of the US Armed Forces who would like to register their name, please click the blue Armed Forces Registrant bar below and follow the provided instructions. If you would like to adopt a soldier, please click on the gold Adopt-A-Soldier Donor bar below and follow the provided instructions. <br /><br />Thank you for your interest in the Rush 24/7 Adopt-A-Soldier Program
<br /><br />I would like to add that I am a "RUSH24/7" subscriber. I subscribed for a reason..I wanted to. The soldiers who want this service have but to submit their name. In other words, Jtexas, they WANTED it. There have been debates on the senate floor regarding Mr Limbaugh and his radio program, waged by those who wish to silence him---did you undestand that last sentance? ON THE SENATE FLOOR! Of America! A RADIO TALK-SHOW HOST!!<br />Are you proud of your senators' priorities on the Senate floor??<br />I am proud of the soldiers who inlisted, and only wish i could contribute.I am proud of America, and proud to see Mr Limbaugh's program get-through to our soldiers who want it, IN SPITE of your efforts to censor him from Armed Forces Radio, of which, only ONE HOUR of his three hour program is covered.<br />You and your "leadership" in the house have failed again.

What a scam with all the money they make Cheech{Rush} or his sponsers can't donate the service to them. "Support Our Troops " while I make make more money than the entire state of Florida. Wake up lemmings! I'll donate to the USO at least it won't end up in some oxy-contin dealers pockets.....Shame on you Cheech

Wow..It took ten whole posts before Rush's drug addiction was thrown-up again in an attempt to slam him. You lefties are slipping!

Re: Limbaugh Supports Our Troops

Nothing bogus about it. It's 100% for real.<br /><br />It's called "exploitation". He's using troops to make money for himself. Each additional subscription costs Rush nothing, or next to nothing. But he won't "donate" it to a soldier unless you send him $50. <br /><br />He's "matching". A two for one deal. What a generous man! His cost: 2 times nothing equals nothing. His profit: still $50.<br /><br />[almost forgot: 12footer, we need you to post your login name & password, or else we won't be able to access your link]

More pure BS. I'll have to admit, you're tireless in your zeal to besmirch him. But you will need more than lies.<br />Proof right here

Man, can I have that twelve minutes and five seconds of my life back please?<br /><br />I now understand why 12 footer is so messed up about Liberals, the war and Bush. He's been listening to that car salesman too much.<br /><br />Good grief.

Re: Limbaugh Supports Our Troops

12footer what are you talkin about? Your latest link says exactly what the website says...he's taking money in order to give a soldier 24/7 access to premium areas of his website.<br /><br />That's what he says he's doing, that's what I said he's doing, that's what his website says he's doing.<br /><br />What did I say he's doing that he's not doing?<br /><br />He says he's not making a profit from subscriptions. Do you expect me to believe that? Subcription dollars that are paid to him don't end up in his pocket?<br /><br />"No profit to me" he says. Believe it if you will.<br /><br />you call that proof...that's hilarious. LOL :D :D :D

Re: Limbaugh Supports Our Troops

I would have thought that all Liberals believed Clinton Did Not Inhale. He Clinton Said So!<br /><br />Same deal here. So, RL states he is not profiting, and Libs claim "LIE", <br /><br />but bj Bill claims "I DID NOT INHALE" and Libs all leminglike nod their melons in recognition of Clinton's innocence? BTW, Monica did have a STAIN on her dress that Clinton also denied. And the Libs in lockstep followed along claiming Clintons innocence. <br /><br />.........WTF..........

I've "been listening to that car salesman too much"?<br />The "car salesman" of this debate is the one i am quoting, saying what the "car salesman" was saying. I'm not a bright guy, but at least I'll listen to what Rush said Rush said.<br /><br /><br />Go ahead. Listen to what Al Franken said Rush Limaugh said, if you think that is the way to get to the truth. I've said my peace.i'll just LOL at your "logic".<br />And Jtexas, you heard him, yet you didn't listen.<br />Just start another "investigation", and pursue another indictment. :D

Did you notice the point where Jtexas stopped the direct quote in the original post?<br />I think we found a good replacement for Ted Coppel as anchor on ABC "news" :D :D <br />Those liberal news anchors are dropping like flies lately, aren't they? :D <br />I can hear it now;<br />"This is Jtexas for Nightline. Tonight we are going to Iraq to find out what the meek, gentle insurgents think about the evil American president, George W Bush.<br />Then, we'll take an in-depth look at criminals on talk radio getting rich off the backs of it's brainwashed listeners".<br /> :D :D :D
