I read this on another website and thought it made sense.
Would Elton John play at a wedding for Fred Phelps' family if they offered him a million dollars?
Both are massive hatemongers. One is simply deemed acceptable by the corporate media.
Rush can go the radio and celebrate people dying of AIDS, applaud inaction on what he mocked as merely "a gay disease," and call homosexuals every name in the book - but he's OK, because the rich and famous like to go to his cocktail parties.
Phelps is a buffoon who hurts his cause and his outlandish rhetoric really doesn't infiltrate society as he would hope..
If anything, Rush is more dangerous than Phelps because he's given legitimacy by the media and the things he says are allowed to be taken seriously.
Hate is hate, regardless of whether it has money behind it or not, and Elton should be condemned for celebrating those who push it.
