I don't want Rush silenced. I want his right to monopolize public spectrum taken. Opposing views should air along with his. He should not be allowed a monologue.

He is a disease and a contagion. The antidote is sunshine and reason.

Opposing views do. Franken and Air America for one.

"He should not be allowed..." Interesting, that is a direct violation of the 1st amendment. Oh wait, it is a "public" airwave so you can stifle free speech you do not agree with. That demonstrates the bankruptcy of your position, your philosophy. It cannot withstand the attacks of those who oppose your ideas so instead of being able to counter with better ideas, you simply shut down the voice of the opposition.

You idiot, I specifically said I don't want to silence Rush. I want the monologue broken. I want his ideas challenged as he speaks. I think Limpbrow is a dangerous psychotic and hate monger, a contagion disease carrier that is infecting an easily brain-washable segment of the population to emulate and think like him, and he is tolerated on private networks because he sells products to these same imbeciles who listen. I think he is a drag on the mentality of the nation, a retrograde force of Neanderthalism. I do not think it is right that the airwaves that belong to all of us should be given over to commercial interests that are willing to destroy the fabric of society to sell a product. I want equal time while he broadcasts for voices that show us what an idiot he is. I don't want Hitler to do all the talking. He is another example of how money is destroying our country. Garbage spewing for a buck and the fostering of hate and intolerance.

By the same token I believe that all networks should fund high quality news as a part of their right to broadcast on public airwaves.

His ideas are challenged all the time. Again, Air America is but one example of a liberal talk radio program that is available to anyone who wants to hear an alternative viewpoint.

If you want to stop his monologue, you are silencing him and any others with whom you disagree. He and anyone else has an opportunity in the marketplace to provide a commodity people want to buy.

I happen to be one of those neanderthals. So thank you for the move up to idiot level. However, I can never compete with your high moral stance, too ethereal for me.

Again, I don't want to stop his speech. I want to stop his monologue. He can say whatever he wants in any detail he pleases so long as a counterpoint is present on the same broadcast thereafter. His views need to be challenged at root. And what you call ethereal I call obvious.

I'll give you that, if you let Rush do the same to Obama during all his speeches. Why should the President be allowed to have monologue? Lets have Rush/Hannity/OReilly on stage with Obama every time he gives a public speech so they can give their opinion while he speaks.

So the Republican Party is now being run by a moronic, AM radio blowhard. It's too sad to even be funny.

Obama would take that deal all day. Equalize Hannity/OReilly/and "I want America to Fail" Limbaugh's time to that equal to Obama's public speaking time.

Sweet. We'd all give thanks for that gift from heaven.

What is the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg? One is a flaming gasbag and the other is a ballon.

You know what the first thing *everyone* realizes once they actually *listen* to Limbaugh is?

That people like you are 100% wrong.

Rush Limbaugh cares about the prosperity of the nation for everyone, whether white, black, brown, purple, green or plaid.

I do not see why the "liberal media" would care about this guy and his views.
They are both obsolete.
It's because he is not obsolete, the liberal media just wants to con the masses into believing he is obsolete.

The bigger question is why are the White House Chief of Staff & White House Press Secretary more concerned with slamming Limbaugh than they are about fixing the stock market?


To anyone, just listen to Limbaugh for one week with an open mind. That's all you have to do. Then come back and have this discussion. But the one thing we cannot do is continue talking about things we do not understand.

I agree. The GOP of the last few years should just keep doing what it has been doing...

...and enjoy sitting in the backseat....


I have a feeling that if you had a job, home or money you wouldn't feel that way.
Another shot fired in The Class War. :disgust:

Interesting... going from completely bashing Obama about the stimulus, then saying he is more interested in slamming Limbaugh... hey, pick a talking point issue and stick with it, ok?

Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting man who's viewpoints sensible people should find offensive.

When he made fun of Michael J. Fox for his Parkinson's Disease, in effect saying that MJF was faking the disease or at least exaggerating the symptoms to gain sympathy, that boiled my blood.

What kind of retarded thought process went into that statement you just made? Any f'ing moron knows the President can't fix the stock market, nor is it his job to fix the stock market.

Rush's big mouth is working against the GOP.

funny thing is, he isn't stopping.

More proof that he is all about himself and his bottom line. His followers are the biggest sheep on the planet.

I have been listening to him on my way to school/work for over a year now. His show is pure comedy. You are fucked and far from home if you think he actually cares about the USA and it's people. It's all about Rush.

By the looks of him the only thing he really cares about is his next meal. He preaches about self restraint, personal responsibility and sheer willpower yet he obviously hasn't the willpower to put down the fork.

Yeah he's not a good example of how one should lead his life. He's definitely a person of great excesses.

He is a poster child for the saying "do as I say, not as I do".

Ah yes. Liberals: Tolerant of all lifestyles.

One thing's for sure. If you're overweight, you'd better be a democrat. Because otherwise, we'll descend to taking kindergarten-level shots at you.
