Oh, I think they know exactly how the Internet works; Rush may be a POS, but he’s not a (completely) stupid man. Their goal is to sweep this shit under the rug from as many prying eyes as possible; they know that most of their audience isn’t gonna use Google Cache or the Wayback Machine to see what he really said (that is, if robots.txt didn’t preclude this).

He also knows that the majority of his audience isn’t going to go to Media Matters for the info either; he prefers to keep his audience like mushrooms: in the dark and fed a bunch of bullshit.

I’d almost call it a sign of guilt, that he knows that his words were wrong and he’s now trying to hide them. But that would assume that the man has the ability to feel guilt and I think we can safely say that that’s just not the case. It’s not just an effort to keep his fans in the dark, it’s also aimed at denying his critics direct links to his words, so that his critics can’t send his fans to see for themselves.
