download a free copy? That’s gotta be worth somethin’ eh?!
Any guesses on the final bid amount?
My guess - $275,175.00
Wait until the 5 minutes - then it should
get exciting!
Bravo! to Rush on this stroke of genius.
eh - should read ‘last 5 minutes’
*and no, that’s the link for the adobe file of Rush’s letter - not a link to the Toys for Tots!
I hearby pledge $20 for the USMC’s “TOYS FOR TOTS” this December
You also get a stylish Halliburton briefcase…
I love that Rush is matching the bid price, so double the final price, and that’s the donation they are gonna get. Just awesome.
I wish, I wish, I wish I could bid…
And Michelle, where are you getting that swanky Ebay screen? I just get the old standard I’ve always gotten…
Feebie, do you want to say it or should I?
“Although Americans of goodwill debate the merits of this war, we can all agree that those who serve with such great courage deserve our deepest respect…”
*Unless we’re ranting about S-CHIP
Over 393k views now… I have to wonder if that is a record for eBay. I have been LMAO about this ever since I heard Rush announce it on his radio show. This, more than anything, shows the Dhimmicrats to be the itty, bitty, wittle babies we know them to be. Go Rush!
lmfao Tony. Excellent point.
“Talent on loan from God.” Indeed.
Here’s a challange to the losing bidders-if you were bidding just so the money would go to the charity–go ahead and give–wouldn’t that be grand.
I could never bid at those prices.
I feel certain that each one of those 41 Senators will accpet Rush’s challenge and match the final amount. Oh, you mean he expected them to fund that out of their own pockets and not the Treasury?
Never mind.
Am writing letter to editor (owned by NYTimes) about the Dems attempt to silence a citizen…and with an outright lie. Priceless!
I printed it (and posted it) the day he put it up; then Monday he gave the OK.
Was that premature downloading?
Now I just need a stylish Halliburton attache case.
The left must be very depressed today.
Which conservative figure will they lash out at next?
maybe… just maybe the rest of the country will finally realize that much of what the Dem leaders and the MSM say and print, are LIES.
Reid and Pelosi and the rest of them can no longer spout this anti-American and anti- _______ (fill in the blank) crap with impunity.
.
THANK GOD for the internet, and Rush, and Michelle and anyone who will tell us the truth, or at least present something of substance so we can freely determine what the truth may be.
THANK YOU MICHELLE!
THANK YOU RUSH!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
As much as it pains me to say this, good for Rush. I find him repugnant, but our Congress has better things to do than write these silly petty letters. Might as well have some good come of it.
But I thought EBay had some policy barring charity auctions. I am almost sure I read an article about a person auctioning off a Vick jersey for an animal shelter that had the auction pulled.
eBay has a specific channel for charity auctions - the auction is vetted first, to determine that it is legit.
Too many losers posting items for ‘charity’ using the standard method, and then just keeping the money.
#15 Jammie…
I’m still betting it’s
Thomas Sowell
Too bad the wife hasn’t won the lotto yet. I would really like to be able to throw down some cash on this, but the Gross Family Product can’t sustain this type of a bidding war. Glad to hear Rush is going to match the funds raised with his own donation. To think the Democrats are using their political power to try and stifle the 1st Amendment rights of a private citizen instead of passing appropriation bills. Keep it up Congress go for that 1% approval rating.
Ahhh… Thank you Timothy. Makes sense.
Just hoping the winning bidder doesn’t turn out to be a Democrat who can then claim he/she actually supports the troops with their donation. There’s also the issue of possession of the original letter, which should be treated with ridicule and scorn, rather than paraded as an anti-right trophy.
*quoted from link in #19 - Thomas Sowell’s article titled “Sabotage in Wartime”
Take that, Dems and that!
Put your money where your mouth is…
…Operative word being your money.
This is why they want to silence him.
He’s smarter than them.
Observation: The fourth signature down form Dick Durbin looks like the Zodiac killers signature. Somebody call SFPD!!!!!!!!! Call Dingy Harry, Oh I mean Dirty Harry.
Don’t forget that many of these Democrat Senators have done this before. Remember that made for TV movie, The Path to 9-11?
Well, here’s another letter sent by Senate Democrats to a private corporation based on their dislike of the content of the airwaves, and what people might conclude if allowed to think for themselves.
Wonderful network you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it:
Signed by Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV) and many others like Boxer(D-CA), Fienstein(D-CA), Durbin(D-IL) and on and on.
Nothing new for Socialists to try and control all thought within “their” society laboratory. It is theirs, so what right do we have to question them?
Rush did an outstanding job of turning the table on the Demes and they lose. I’ll be willing to bet that not one of those Dems gives any money to go to the military. How telling is that? The silence is deafening.
sorry tpe o “form” should be from.
I happen to think “The Path to 9-11″ is one of the better things made regarding that day.
And seriously, I’m starting to get tired of seeing Durbin’s name on these things. Hasn’t he shamed Illinois enough?
Unfortunately, Sen. Turban (D-IL) has not limited himself to The Land of Lincoln. It seems that the entire heritage of our nation is in his sights, and he just keeps firing away.
This just made perfect examples of the Democrats verifying the immortal words of Coach Dennis Green:
Now … if the Repbulicans will just quit following the second part of the quote:
Time to hold them accountable for:
Childishly
Ridiculous
Assinine
Partisanship
I wish I could bid at those prices. However, as others stated it’s a great idea to give some to the fund anyway. We continue to give to Wounded Warriors but maybe these Army folks can find it in their heart to give to the Marines!
The media follows another quote from Coach Green that day…….
but Chris Berman always says…..
Brian72
Well said …
… but I still think it fits the DemoCRAPs
Not only does this make the Dems look like complete fools, but it helps Military families. Its like a buy one get one free sale.
I wonder what the numbers are looking like for Rush’s show after he put up the auction.
Latest bid over $142,000.
quarter-freakin-million
half-million
Up to 511,100. Go Rush Go!
And let’s not forget he’s matching it.

Now there’s a scary thought!
FYI, the letter being auctioned IS the original letter!
There’s something relating to SCHIP here, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
It is just so much more wonderful to think of a private citizen (two, counting Rush’s matching funds) willing to give this much to a charity voluntarily vs. people’s taxes going to a government program.
And the efficency of the charity is so much greater than of SCHIP, so you know that the money is going to the people who really need it.
THIS is conservative compassion. People can be pretty nice when given a chance.
$511,100
Company policy prevents me from surfing eBay…so please continue to keep us up to date on the current winning bid!
$750,000!
I sent an email to Amy Klobuchar (MN senator) asking why she signed the letter and the email bounced. Probably pulled the plug on her Commodore computer.I’ll try to pull the plug on her next election cycle. Wouldn’t have bothered until she joined the nutroots.
Talk about turning lemons into lemonade. Classic Limbaugh! Don’t forget that he is also chiding the Dems, who actually signed this joke of a letter, to match the winning bid.
If the Dems had a speck of decency, the total contribution to the MC-LEF could be 3X the winning bid.
$851,000!
this just warms my heart…
The bid is now $851,000.
Just wow…
I’d wager about 1.25 million will be the winning bid…
oh, I’ll bet it’ll go higher than that…
This is one of the most outstanding things I’ve seen all year. This cause is amazing well-suited.
This is incredible.
Does Rush have a million smackers just lying around?
I hope so.
If I had that kind of money, I would bid to win at whatever it took. There is very little question that this letter is a seminal event in the culture war and the history of the country. The Democrats who signed all look like the ignorami that they actually are.
#55 schal
Rush has that much easy. He’s one of THE most well paid names in radio, probably all of media.
Remember, the money his show makes from ad-time, and syndication feeds, and his books, and his ties, and his newsletter go, ultimately, to him.
Whatever it goes to, he can match I’m certain.
It would be a WONDERFUL burn on Reid if Rush, after signing the check from himself and the auction winnings, would then after confirmation of Reid not being willing to man up then sign a THIRD check, again matching the auction amount, and in the memo section write “because Harry Reid won’t”.
Maybe Reid’s trying to buy it to limit the possible liability of having it out in the public. Whoever is bidding that kind of money has something in mind for it. It’s not JUST for the charity.
as Rush said, it would be ohso lovely to see it in alllll its glory on display in the Smithsonian………
He mentioned something about this the past couple days. He made a comment to some listener inqueries that perhaps one of Reid’s cronies might try to bid it up to $20 million or more and he said if the bid went that high he’d have no problem matchng it. You’re talking about a guy that is making an estimated $5 million a month or more just from the show itself.
Just posted this over at LGF:
Here’s a scary thought…
What if… just what IF…
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or some other Dem rolling in money, is one of the bidders? What if several are?
And if they win, they’ll destroy the original? Claim it never happened?
/scaring myself!
What if say, George Soros, bids this to 50 million or maybe more. Not sure how rich Rush is, but he could at some point have a problem with his “match” pledge.
go ahead and let them try…….imagine what a hoot Rush would have with THAT one…THIS incident would be like kitten play compared to Reid/Pelosi actually buying the letter…
Of course… (duh)
/slapping forehead
no worries Leepro…we’re keeping each other grounded over here at MM…
current bid is 851k wow.
opps repeat.
That woulod require George Soros to support the troops instead of funding groups that call General Petraus a traitor. He would also have to thank Rush Limbaugh for something, and could hardly spin it against him.
Since Soros is a die-hard socialist and anti-American to the core, he will not help Rush do anything. His ego is too precious to be damaged.
Besides, Air America has probably bankrupted him by now.
I bet Stark’s comments will add a good ten grand to the bid.
Has anyone heard Reed say anything about this? He seems rather quiet lately and he seems to lose popularity in his own state of Nevada. Furthermore I would like to know what his alternatives to “Bush-Cheney’s” failed policies in Iraq are besides making the USA an Islamic republic.
Hey, I live in California. No sympathy for ya, sorry.
$1.21 million with 13 hours to go. I believe that was Michelle’s bid…..
It just keeps going. It’s now at $1,200,100!
Ho
Lee
God.
I was wrong. 2 million easy will be this final price…
reid/pelosi and the whole inept bunch are about to feel what truth, justice and the American way are all about: capitalism, free market, the all-mighty dollar……..God I love what America stands for………..Rush is making our Founding Fathers so proud after 41 members of our Senate disgraced them.
$1,305,100.00
I’m sorry… I meant to say $2,000,200.00
These guys are going through the monitary equiv. of a bar room brawl…
I love it!!! What better way to demonstrate what the free market is all about?
The 41 signers of the letter must be feeling really foolish right now. The letter is not going to disappear.
Well - it’s veeeeeerrrry interesting - looks like it’s not actual live bidding, probably Mission-Fish doing post-bid updating. There are funny looking time discrepancies…
Last bidding on Ebay at this moment, look like:
r***c - 2,000,200.00 at 9:28:42PM PDT
y***t - 2,000,100.00 at 1:52:23PM PDT
r***c - 2,000,000.00 at 9:28:13PM PDT
The bidder r***c ran the bid from $1,300,100.00 to $2,000,000.00 in just about 5 minutes.
I can’t wait to hear the blow-by-blow on the radio show today!
$2.1M now. Man, this is giant historical flashing neon sign pointing at the Democrat Party reading, “Look!, We’re Stoopid!”
Good grief…this
isis a giantI can guarantee that they won’t ever question Rush’s support of our troops…EVER!
…and you can take that to the bank.
Please, they’d do it again in a heartbeat. Rush is as good as Bush when it comes to the moonbats. They’ll attack him first chance they get to make some far-left nut-job points…
A girl can dream can’t she?
She most certainly can, and I encourage thoe dreams…
But, alas, I am but a jackass, and can’t help but burst a bubble here and there.
I do appreciate being snapped back to earth though…
*bows*
Most welcome.
What happens if the bidder is full of ___? What if they don’t have the money for this bid? Is that even possible? Will Rush match a bogus bid?
Not that familiar with ebay other than buying a game off there for my kid a year or two ago.

B.E.A.U.TIFUL
Holy Carp!
Who has that kind o’ moolah?!
I can’t even afford to buy a house, let alone spend this kind o’ cash on something I can’t eat, wear, drive, or live in!
Unbelievable. I was thinking somewhere around 5-10k.
I wonder where Rush thought the number would be?
Mr Vibeman, I think you have to be pre approved.
The play Rush is getting off of this you couldnt buy for 2mill.
Many of the libs are claiming that the bids are phony, offering as “evidence” claims that they were allowed to bid large figures that they did not have sufficient money to make good.
I’d like to think that Rush’s bidder screening includes ability to pay to ensure that all bids are bona fide.
Does anyone know the facts on this? It would sure be good to put the kibosh on the libs’ story ASAP.
Right, aj. The bidder has to be approved.
I can see me trying to make a bid: Excuse madame, you seem to be a public school teacher…where, pray tell, do you think you can get your hands on this sort of money?
Well, I’ve a friend named Norman Hsu…
the libs claim the bids are phony b/c they HATE to admit that there are hard-working Americans out there who have $$ to spend on not bribing elected officials
