That's pretty funny Dog - I don't see a mention of bigotry anywhere in the Sears release. That sounds a lot like a bit of opinion someone else added to what it was that the folks at Sears actually said. Forgive me, but I don't think Sears would actually call anyone a bigot, they might lose a fair amount of customers by doing so. They may back out of airing commercials during certain broadcasts to potentially avoid alienating any customers, but I find it difficult, at best, to believe that they would actually court alienating potential customers who think Rush is the bee's knees by publicly labeling him as a bigot.
