Advertisers and radio stations pull out of Limbaugh's show-the people have spoken (illegal immigration, supporters)

Since when does the First Amendment force advertisers to pay Rush Limbaugh's employer so he can spout his hate-filled rants? He'll just have to open up his own little pay-per-rant website like his buddy Glenn Beck.

Censorship from the far right when they don't like the facts interesting.

Its against TOS to tell people to not write, as well as the Constitution. Sorry, you dont get to control the discourse here.

I see you have reading comprehension problem.

Show me where I called for any censorship.

Show me where I told ANYONE what to write or not to write.

Maybe it is YOU who have broken the TOS by twisting what I actually said into something you think I said.

My challenge is VOLUNTARY. No one is FORCED to do anything.

Please tell us how many people you know or have herd of that have been FORCED to listen to him.

Were they forced by gun point?

Were they tied and down and had earphones tied to their heads?

Boy, some people really like to exaggerate!.

Oh for heaven's sake. Talk about people liking to "exaggerate." I was making the point that people choosing to boycott Rush and not listen or advertise on his show is NOT the same as taking away his freedom to speak. Get it?

And how would you predict the enforcement of that little deal to work out? Sounds like a lot of silly bravado to me.

an 9 year addiction must give him Hepatitis C and liver problems by now.

Correction: He was addicted in 2003. Not "since 2003."

Sorry is you don't know fact from allegations.

They'll never admit it but of course it's what the liberals want. Why else are they trying to silence anyone that doesn't agree with them? This is a huge First Amendment issue.

Well then I imagine you MUST support forcing MSNBC to put Keith back on the air and certainly you MUST think that advertisers MUST flock to support putting 3 hours of Gloria on the radio every day, and surely we all MUST be exposed to a regularly scheduled David Duke program. After all, ANYONE must be given their own show to say whatever they want to say....no matter how ugly and offensive....or it will be the end of the First Amendment.
