Thanks for posting!
A little Rush goes a long way! lol
Perhaps the pendulum is swinging in our favor? Compared to the initial string of articles featuring various, unchallenged renditions of the trumped up FDA News Release and expert negative, biased opinions from non-experts that is!

I'm glad that we're getting more positive press. but wasn't the WSJ story in the works for awhile?
from the article:
oh well. this is the important bit

The bad part is people like me turn into Rush just so I can say what an idiot......
When I listened to the recording on another thread, it seemed more like he was kidding. More along the lines of, "Of course! As soon as I find something they try and take it away!" rather than "I discovered these and they are attacking it."
I could be wrong, but that's how I took it from the tone of his voice.
Ok, here's an example of just how influential Rush is.
One of the ladies where my husband works has been sitting on the fence about the pro's and con's of e-cigs v. tobacco cigs for her husband. He's a smoker and she wants him to quit for his health. Hubby has been using his e-cig at work and today he told her about Rush using one. All of a sudden e-cigs don't appear so bad in her eyes. Now multiply her reaction by the millions of other Rush followers and we just might win the battle with the FDA after all.

Rush didn't say that he was on the "Cutting Edge". He said that he found something that "WAS" on the cutting Edge.
Odd how people hear what he says, yet don't. But never mind misquoting him in an attempt to discredit what he says.
Odd!

No, he said it and I quote from the recording: "(Garbled) another illustration on how I'm on the cutting edge and how they are after me."
It's pretty much the first thing out of his mouth, but I still think it was meant it as a joke.

There goes the "lefties" again. Distorting what the right says by quoting exactly what they say. You keep that up and you could get a job with Media Matters. That's the kind of crap they pull.
My cynical ear thoroughly approved what Rush said....maybe he will get on the band wagon instead of watching it go by !!! Kristen, has CASAA tried to contact him ?
I think he was joking about the goverment going after him just because he is using them in his talk there always after him no matter what he does dont think he was joking about the fight with the FDA itself. In any case he is the best thing that could have happened to the cause. Its certainly better then if he was against them.
That's exactly what I meant.
When we have CASAA meetings by Skype, every so often someone gets dropped from the call repeatedly. We always joke that it's the FDA after us and causing trouble.
I thought he was full of years ago but when you pay attention to all of the press then you start seeing the spin and deliberate miss quotes.
If you get news from one place, I'm sorry but you have no idea what is going on. Nobody is to be trusted when they all have an agenda.

He is joking about them going after ecigs because he is using them. He assumes the audience gets the humor while informing them of another freedom under attack. He does almost everything like that.
Good post Moon and thanks for the listening Kristin. I believe Rush is lumping the ecig together with everything else Big Corps. and Big Gov. always seem to want to suppress. The advancement of quality of life for all of us (not just the few of them). Kinda like we had our chance for real change when "some" of the auto and financial institutions were on the brink. The big boys step in make it better for them and we get screwed. Hell, were still using gas. It's all the same thing and I think Rush (whether he actually cares or not) is just pointing out to his listeners that it's same ole thing different day. We, the private sector keep coming up with a better way and they keep shutting us down.
I find him so annoying that I am glad I found e-cigs before he did. (or at least before he acknowledged them) On the other hand, he is terribly influential; I am just glad his addiction is helping bring attention to the products and the cause.
