    Call what you want.

    And then try and pretend that you're not missing the point. If Rush Limbaugh paid the RNC $100 million, they'd be very reluctant to put him on the stage. He's become an embarrasment. A talking symbol of everything that's wrong about the right. He's the spokesman for bigotry ,fear, misogyny and ignorance.

    But the fact is that Democrats raised a LOT of money off of Limbaugh's Sandra Fluke episode.

    Rachel Maddow used an image of Limpballs waving his arms around at CPAC a few years ago as a running joke icon for months (may still do for all I know).

    If you think Howard is just about Lesbians, you've never listened to the show or are purposely trolling. Best interviewer on the planet.

    No, I don't know that, but you seem convinced.

    And you are basing this opinion on the fact you are an avid Rush listener, right? So tell us, how many hours of his show do you listen to on a daily basis?

    .

    Then show me the posts where you're attacked Obama for his lies.

    Shallow, snide personal attack noted. But, speaking of not so bright, what do think of people who give a pass to PRESIDENT Obama for his lies?

    You mean beyond the 10 or so women who openly stated they were molested by him, some of which did file charges by the way, not really. But if your so enraged about "sexism", it seems you might focus some of it his way, don't you agree? Or are you more prone to believe Clinton, the man who lied under oath and received sexual favors from an intern in the Oval office?

    Oh come on, that's pure BS.

    No need to worry about me, I'm fine. But, just so you're aware, your snide attempts at belittlement aren't helping you look all that mature or intelligent.

    What you do, yes.

    Scared? :roflol: Not hardly. In fact, I'd say the reverse is true, you're scared Rush isn't going away. He's liberals worst nightmare.

    And as far as Rush doing my thinking for me, I'd say that's pretty unlikely since I haven't listened to his show much is years. Hell, it's obvious liberals are more tuned into his show than I am. So, how often do you listen to his show?

    Much like Obama then...got lucky by being the perfect race at the perfect time and has shown conclusively to be a complete incompetent. Then again, who elects a man to POTUS who has NEVER lead anyone before, besides his kids to the park?

    And rightness is subjective. Rush is about opinion mostly, and no is right or wrong. You either agree, dissagree or appreciate the perspective. What you don't do is just listen to YouTube snippets, or read cut and paste quotes from websites like HuffPo and expect anyone to think you have a clue about the guy. Not saying thats you...but there are so many that have never actually listened to him, yet claim he's a &$*#(@) or a &$*(#(@)(. Theres so much sarcasm that a quote on a website can't reveal when you actually listen to a whole segment. I can't stand the crap that comes out of his mouth sometimes, but if I'm in the car and pop him on for 15 minutes, he can be enlightening and AT LEAST give you perspective you're not going to get from a site like HuffPo or the nightly news or the NYTimes.

    Yes, that pretty well describes their stance on "free speech". They're for it, until it's spoken by someone who doesn't conform, then, not so much.

    No I wrote a letter to him asking him to resign.

    No he makes stupid comments........we point them out. I don't believe he is racist, just ignorant of racist language issues.

    Since his show is not sponsored by anyone anymore, (in part because of pressure on advertisers) that would be hard. I have in fact written HBO to get him off the air. I find him a clown with a schtick and you people lap it up. He is a fool, playing to fools.

    Actually I have done more. You see I don't like Rush because he is not only a liar, bigot, racist, punk, hypocrite, he is playing a role that feeds the sheep by being a loud voice they need to think.

    I never watch Maher's show.
    I have called Biden out on his inarticulate language, did it just recently over his shylock thing.
    And President Clinton, I still feel dirty when I see I him. But here is the thing: Clinton rehabilitated himself a bit. I know him differently, he was hammered and rightly so for what he did, but to keep beating him for it is petty and quite frankly shows a lack of self-worth on the part of those who do it.

    so according to your warped absurd logic you can force some one into a sound proof booth alone to conduct his right to speech and claim you didn't violate his right because he still can speak
    so then restricting abortion to the first 4 weeks isn't a violation of a women's right to an abortion is it

    putting a unduly restriction is the same as a violation of said right

    The irony of this thread is amazing.

    Sandra Fluke goes before Congress to talk about women's health and Rush Limbaugh calls her a slut and unleashes an army of his sheep to attack her at every turn. Read her twitter feed. It is remarkable how they want to shut her down. Some even tell her to just shut up. These same people get dyspeptic when someone suggests that we ask the advertisers who pay Rush to consider his positions when deciding where to spend their money.

    It is insane.

    Rush has the right to speak.......he has the right to be on the radio........the government cannot and should not try to stop his ranting be it lying, racist etc.
    But Rush cannot complain that the right that allows him to call Sandra Fluke a slut and a former President's then teen daughter a dog is being used against him. You see I have the right to be critical and do it in a way that hurts him. I do not want the government involved. I don't think that is healthy. But I think telling advertisers what we think is fine and in fact well within the bounds of free speech.

    If EVERY RW website asks people to sign their MILLION PETITIONS then LIBS can gather petitions and ask for RUSH to be 'removed'. Congress decides one,
    LImbaughs 'carriers' decide his fate.

    He got knocked off TV because his ratings SUCKED when his ADVERTISERS pulled their ads. By the time he was finished here, he had SNUFF ads--that
    was it!

    Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.

    Now we have a third who does not know what free speech means. Interesting (or not) that they all are conservatives

    Your posts are becoming more absurd with each iteration. Now verging on the hysterical.

    That huge Pic of Limbaugh is kinda cartoonish.I mean,I knew he got his teeth
    fixed but good golly.Those huge teeth are funny.Like something Jerry Lewis
    wore in a few of his movies.I knew Limbaugh had his teeth fixed.He had like really
    small teeth and never smiled big.I think Sean Hannity followed suit.
    Same thing.Hannity never smiled like a normal person.,
    That's one of the big problems with Right Wing Talk Radio.
    They all try to copy or mimic each other.
    Enough to drive lone wolf Michael Savage near crazy.
    With all that " Great American " babble. He's a - Great American -.
    No ... He's a - Great American -. Right-wing talker Bill Cunningham started that.

    Interesting comment. Maybe you can give us an example of Republicans trying to silence the opposition?

    Aren't both sides pretty much attempting to make speech a right of monetary access? I mean seriously, most of the news is tainted, commentary with little to no facts, just conjecture and talking points. Neither of the extremes want the truth or the facts to be disclosed, which is why to get a factual story these days you have to seek it out and from numerous sources.

    Really? Then you must believe securing our border is wrong because it's illegal immigration suppression, too, right?

    Please show us where that is happening. States that enacted voter ID laws, had an INCREASE in TURNOUT, especially MINORITIES.

    What's hilarious is that NO ONE, Rush, nor anyone else, had to "launch" anything to sent Air America to its inglorious demise.

    Abject Total con.The United States happens to be THE only industrialized
    country that doesn't demand a form of I.D. in order to vote.
    Ohio has classic examples in Cleveland and in Philadelphia where entire
    precincts did not vote { not a single ballot was cast } for Mitt Romney.
    A virtual Impossibility.There was a flagrant example of a Cincinnatti poll
    worker who was heard bragging about how she voted for Obama twice.
    " Yes,I voted twice " said the 59 yr.old Cincinnati poll worker Melowese Ricahrdson
    who was indicted for allegedly voting at least 6 times.She also pulled the same
    stunt in 2008 and 2011. Richardson faced 8 counts of voter fraud and was
    eventually convicted and served time.She used relatives names in order to
    cast numerous ballots.
    You won't hear big mouth un-American louts like Al Sharpton talk about
    Melowese Ricahrdson.Well actually he did in a way.Richardson was jailed
    and released early and was given a kind of welcome mat after her release by
    Democrats.
