I don't know if it is the best thing to be attached to vaping in the public eye. Even the way it goes about getting reactions from people, this type of taunting and antagonizing attitude is the wrong way to go about popularizing and educating people. That what you want? Ticking people off? And it vapes in an elevator?!

Yeah, I'm off topic - but in fact I'm not. We need to choose our messages carefully - and painting ourselves as petulant children taking pleasure in "tricking" people into getting mad at us, and laughing at their reaction: nah, not good PR. I know it's probably unavoidable, but I'd hope they don't interview it in the We Are Vapers documentary...

That must be why the GOP side of the isle voted unanimously in favor of the ban while the only dissenting votes came from the Dem side of the isle.

In this day and age voting ya or nay has more to do with party loyalty than political philosophy.

Religious socialism is not conseravtivism. There are plenty of religious socialists in the GOP.
Do you think Santorum is a conservative or a religious socialist?

For that matter Rush is a religious socialist on some issues although he would deny it.

Mitt Romney claims to be a conservative
....no seriously the guy who thought up Obamacare before Obama

That's like a Christian Athirst, there are some out there.

Said with tongue firmly in cheek
Shame on you.

I wanted a pointless mind numbing tail chasing argument. I was all set to kick someones kid and call there dog ugly.
Or vise verse. Now you have taken all the fun out of it

I don't generally agree with Rush, but this was a delightful listen. I love how he "taunts" people in elevators and restaurants, ultimately educating people about ecigs.

"You look like you're enjoying yourself so much..." - golden.

I am one of the bleeding-heart liberals that he likes to poke at, so it was a little surreal to find myself agreeing with much of what he was saying. I don't engage in the kind of baiting people that he describes, but I'm not Rush. He gets away with those kinds of shenanigans because he's Rush.

I'm also reminded that this is not a Liberal/Conservative issue. It's not Democrat/Republican issue. This is a public-health situation, and he's actually doing something about it. Granted, it's a fair bit more confrontational and in-your-face than most of us are comfortable with, but that's kinda part of Rush's schtick, isn't it?

Also, in before the thread closure...

Thanks for posting this, Scottinboca!

Thank you for this, respectfully, but still assertive in your general disagreement with Rush.

I do disagree on him being in your face, many of us vape in public, but since we aren't Rush no one ever notices, I think his celebrity gets him noticed.
