Gun Owners See Limbaugh 'Red Flag'

To the shock of gun owners, talk show host Rush Limbaugh has become a spokesman for the Humane Society of of the United States (HSUS). They accuse him of abandoning them for an organization focused on opposing hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Twenty-eight groups representing millions of hunters and sportsmen are demanding that the conservative radio commentator end his collaboration with the HSUS and stop "helping them to mainstream their image in the minds of reasonable people."

The HSUS is considered a foe of groups supportive of gun rights which is said to have a secret agenda to end all hunting in the U.S. Millions of hunters and sportsmen that are represented by organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and the U.S. Sports Alliance have prevailed up Limbaugh to end the public-service radio spots which include cracking down on dogfighting and other animal cruelty crimes.

Supporting an organization such as HSUS is out of character for Limbaugh, who usually concentrates on politics. Just the fact that he made the recording for the organization became a red flag for gun owner organizations. It is considered a part of an anti-sportsman agenda.
