It's possible that I mis-recall. I heard this several years ago (10+). I heard his statement today as you also , obviously, did. That said, he IS in the entertainment biz and I take all everyone, on both sides, says, with a spoon full of salt.Phil1979 said:You obviously did not hear him correctly or understand the context of what he was referring to.Ken1961 said:I've heard Rush say he used "actors" on occasion to help get a point across etc.. I always assumed the others did too. It's kinda fun trying to pick them out from the regular callers.
Rush has NEVER used actors and has NEVER paid anyone to be a caller to his radio show. Today, he went into great detail to make it crystal clear that is the case. This was the first thing he dealt with on his program.
Most actors are liberals. If they had been used, they would not hesitate to expose Rush as a fraud, winning the accolades of their peers and the rest of libdom.
This was a story back in February that died out with a fizzle. Now, all of a sudden the liberal blogosphere thinks it's news again? Even after having plenty of time to rehash it, they still present zero evidence to contradict Rush? Hmmm...
It could be, if he's used "actors" at all, that they were members of his crew. He wouldn't have to hire them. They are already on payroll. He'd be technically telling the truth.bdee said:If he said that, then for his sake I hope it's the truth. If he has lied about this and there is evidence to the contrary, he's done as an entertainer.Phil1979 said:Rush has NEVER used actors and has NEVER paid anyone to be a caller to his radio show.

Yes he did. However, you have to ask, would his own staff jump up and say..."I did it!" ?AEKDB said:Today he all but begged for someone to come public with evidence that they were paid by him or anybody affiliated with him or his show.Ken1961 said:It could be, if he's used "actors" at all, that they were members of his crew.
