I don't mind a different point of view. In fact I encourage it, but I agree that everything seems to be one-sided on Fox. Even Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow criticize Obama and other Democrats, but I've never once heard Hannity praise Obama for a single thing. I used to watch Fox to see what the conservatives were thinking, that is, until I realized people like Hannity do their best to attract the extreme right, hardcore wing-nuts.

As far as Limbaugh goes, I don't know why he's so popular. In fact, knowing how many people tune into him everyday frightens me. I mean, if you are a conservative, aren't you supposed to believe in strong family values? AFAIK he's been married at least 3 times and he's been addicted to drugs. He also owns a home that's larger than many hotels and valued at about $25 million (give or take a million..hey times are tough here in Florida!) In 2001 he signed a contract for $297 million and has other income from books, speaking engagements, etc. So that means he makes at least $50 million a year. Most of us won't see that much money in a lifetime. Then he gets on the air and tells working people who make $49,950,000 less to protest against the tax cuts for the rich. It's mind boggling that more people don't see right through him.

I rarely listen to Limbaugh. He isn't my god at all. In fact, I think he loves starting **** just so people like you will go on a rant. That is what he does much of the time.

BTW, the fact that you call someone unAmerican because they disagree with you shows you to be worse than Limbaugh could ever hope to be. But I do thsnk you for showing everyone in this forum how you hate freedom of speech for anyone you don't agree with. Such a shame that you got so little education. You might try adult night classes, or maybe...research on your own so you won;t look like such a fool with your posts.

I think it's unAmerican to hope that the President of the United States fails. If he fails, then America fails.

However, he does have the right to express himself on the air since we still have Free Speech in this country.

I have to disagree. It is his policies that people hope fail. There is nothing wrong with that either. Most hoped Bush's policies failed and nobody had a problem with that. Some people were almost giddy when the country started having problems. It's those old Democrat sayings, you never want a serious crisis to go to waste, or never waste a good crisis.

Some of us that realize it is just politics 101 and don't turn it into partisan issues but rather try to get people on both sides to wake up and smell the coffee. Unfortunately most people are to partisan to understand and thus the mess we find ourselves in year after year after year. Pretty sad but unfortunately true.

Took the words right out of my mouth. These ignorant (and they are ignorant) leftists will call any voiced opinions against leftist policies "hate" speech", or any other opinions publicly spoken that are opposed to their agenda. They believe in silencing all opposing views. That is why they favor the "fairness doctrine" or something that will accomplish the same purpose, such as licensing and ownership regulations, which will probably be the method they use.

The truth of the matter is that most of the real "hate speech" comes from the left. You can read through this Forum and it's not hard to come to that conclusion. Or, turn on your radio or TV and listen to comments from some of the leftist politicians, like Dick Durban, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and all the rest of those extreme leftist nut cases.

I literally scares the hell out of me to know these people are running the country right now. They are dismantling our country piece by piece right under our noses.

Your post is straight out of a Sean Hannity talking point.... slow the opposition down by asking them to document every single thing they say - while you talk in generalities without a shred of evidence...

Rush clearly proclaimed that he hoped that Obama failed.... he clearly said that Obama was a racist for nailing the 3 Somalai pirates.. if you want more proof of hateful and inflammatory things that he has said - DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!!

Why don't you list 10 hateful statements from Liberals of the MSM???

I'm waiting.....

He said he hopes President fails IN HIS ATTEMPT TO SOCIALIZE THE COUNTRY. And he did NOT call President Obama a racist, in fact did not disagree with the killing of the pirates. He was mocking those who make up excuses for every criminal on the planet, joking that, to be consistent, we should bemoan the death of these innocent staring kids.

If you guys want to argue, that's fine. If you want to tell us you dislike the views & opinions of these radio personalities, go for it. We can't all like the same things. But please, at least be honest about what you hear them say.

What a JOKE!!!

Limbaugh considers Obama, no matter what he says or does, as the poster boy for Socialism - so OF COURSE HE UNCONDITIONALLY WANTS OBAMA TO FAIL!!!

Limbaugh always has and always will consider Obama to be a socialist, and therefore he UNCONDITIONALLY wants him to fail.

He said that if Obama keeps the Bush Tax cuts, cuts taxes more, and acts like a 2nd Reagan - he will support him - otherwise he wants him to fail. His definition is socialism is anything less conservative than Ronald Reagan... or worse... what a JOKE!!!

You're just parsing words in an attempt to defend the indefensible...

Here's a link of your fat piece-of-crap demigod fearless leader ranting at CPAC hoping Obama fails - weeks after the controversy first broke: YouTube - "I Do Want Obama to Fail" - Rush Limbaugh 02/28/09 at CPAC

Here's a different slant on the situation that I am POSITIVE you will reject out-of-hand - but it's worth a shot: YouTube - The Daily Left - Limbaugh Repeats Wish That Obama Fails

He's become obsessed with his own power - and has now become the poster-boy for the GOP - totally regressive, totally non-inclusive, totally un-American, totally un-Patriotic...

There are hundreds of clips of Rush and Sean inciting hatred - I can start posting some if you want - if you're too lazy to find them for yourself!!!

Nice try - but you'll have to do better!!

I think it is unAmerican when someone shows themselves to be so uneducated when they had the chance for a free education, albeit a liberal one, but some people learn and do research on their own. Limbaugh said that he hoped that Obama's policies failed. Go get some adult night courses so you can learn how to grasp context.
