I dont think Rush should have and I dont think Ed should have either
We have this thing called free speech in this country and each time something like this happen that slips away.
I dont listen to Rush but I will defend his right to say what he likes as I will defend Eds right also
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from judgment by other entities and individuals in society. Might want to understand what the concept of free speech really is before defending a dirt bag with this standard retarded defense that always gets trotted out when some bigot realizes he's in over his head.
I agree with you that a mistake can be forgiven. People do misspeak - that much is true. Rush Limbaugh did not misspeak. He has been goading people for years with outrageous comments that at times border on outright racism and even slander. This time, he went too far.
lol....Even an apology from Rush gets liberals into a frenzy. That man certainly has power over them.
This liberal isn't in a frenzy, simply disgusted that Limbaugh has once again crossed the line. Bad enough that he called Ms. Fluke names like a Middle Schooler, but the flaccid "apology" added insult to injury...again.
That he suggested that she film herself having sex so he could watch tells you that he's definitely the guy who's still miffed that he couldn't buy
a date in high school....it's perverse.
Does that include all the right wing posters here who chimed in with their chorus about Fluke being a "****"? They should all be sued.
Well, the size of the audience is directly linked to the severity of defamation. I doubt an obscure message board could approach the classification of libel.

This thread has turned into pages, in a matter of minutes, as liberals feed like a pack of wild hyenas. Of course Rush is uncouth. This is not new. If you don't like it, then don't listen him.
Unlike liberal heroes of Maher and Olbermann, at least Rush apologized for his uncouth and misogynistic statements.
Really, he just needs to go to some island and call it a career.
Face it, Rush has jumped the shark. His career has been waning for the past few years and he already lost his tv show and his gig of being a sports commentator. Now his already shrinking radio audience will be reduced to a half dozen stations with advertisers ranging from adult video stores to phone hook-up companies.
I think that move is about protecting himself from a personal lawsuit.
Not that he should have one, but that never stopped someone with free lawyers from going after people before and wasting both time and money.
Did he offer her a free can for the side of her bed that said donations?
Did he offer an EIB condom supply for her or to pay for her to get the tubes tied?
Ye gods, man! Get some new material, puhleeeze! If I had a nickel for every post you've made in the past 24 hours mentioning a "can" in one place or another, I could buy Rush a month's worth of Oxies!
Rush is free to say whatever he likes....and WE have a right to boycott his advertisers until they make the choice between that fathead dweeb or their revenue. Its that simple
See that isnt really being free to say whatever he likes, if you are going to try and punish him for using his free speech.
Having free speech means just that free to say your opinion or what not without the fear of consequences or punishment
Heck maybe we should call your boss and tell them you should be fired because we just dont like the things you post on here. Where does it end.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH WITHOUT BEING PUNISHED
