OK, I just couldn't resist here . . .

This is the kind of ridiculously over-generalized statement that makes it 
hard for me to listen to people like Rush for more than a minute at a 
time (I have very rarely done so without hearing either something I 
_know_ to be untrue, or hearing something that I know to be an invalid 
generalization). To put it plainly, the man lies or distorts things very 
frequently. I find that quite distasteful. I am pretty sure that he isn't 
stupid or uninformed, so I have concluded that he's intentionally 
misrepresenting things.

Liberals are no more of a homogeneous group than most others, and there's 
a very good chance that any broad-stroke generalization made about that 
group is pure garbage. That doesn't stop Rush from doing so over and over 
again.

Personally, I am amazed that people like him have a loyal audience at 
all. It is a sad commentary on the American public as far as I'm 
concerned.

To bring this back close to on-topic -- I agree that it would be a 
mistake for Apple to advertise on that or other political shows.
