I somehow am challenged to think of the terms hate and church in the same sentence. How misguided can a group of people be in this world?

Not true. But even if it were, its no big deal. Rush will undoubtedly, like many others, be joining the Revolution Against the Regular AirWaves in the near future. Beck's doing fabulous and truly enjoying the freedom to tell it like it is without PC censorship.


“We are on the edge of something that is bigger than industrial revolution,” Beck said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “We’re taking on the big guys.”

"Here we are, a little over 6 months since the launching the network, and many in the established media outlets have taken notice of GBTV’s success.

Who's Advertising On Rush Limbaugh? | Media Matters for America

Though a bright spot he did pick up a new advertiser. A perfect fit with none other than the Westboro baptist church

Westboro Baptist Church CONFIRMS It is Preparing Ads For Limbaugh's Show


The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a fundamentalist religious organization headed by Fred Phelps and based in Topeka, Kansas, U.S..
The church runs numerous websites such as GodHatesFags.com, GodHatesAmerica.com and others expressing condemnation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people (LGBT), Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews, as well as populations it believes are supporting the forementioned groups, including Swedes, Canadians, Irish, British, and Americans.
The organization is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League, and is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Although well-known in LGBT communities for picketing gay pride events and funerals, the group achieved national notoriety for picketing funeral processions for soldiers killed in action during the Iraq War.


Also in 2004, Margie Phelps and her son Jacob were arrested for trespassing, disorderly conduct and failure to obey after disregarding a police officer’s order that they were not allowed to enter a company’s private property with chairs and stand on them with an upside down flag and a picket sign.
In June 2007, Shirley Phelps-Roper was arrested in Nebraska, after demonstrating at the funeral of a soldier, and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The arrest resulted from her allowing her eight-year-old son to step on the American flag during the demonstration, an act which is illegal under Nebraska law. The defense contends that the child’s actions were protected speech, and that the state law is unconstitutional. The prosecution, however, claims that the demonstration was not intended as political speech, but as an incitement to violence, and that Phelps-Roper’s conduct may also constitute child abuse.
Other value judgements
The Westboro Baptist Church attributes membership in most religious groups, such as the Roman Catholic Church or Islam, as akin to devil worship. All non-Christian entities, non-Protestant Christian churches, as well as all Protestant Christian churches which do not strongly condemn homosexuality, are said to be sending their members to Hell. The Westboro Baptist Church teaches that menstruation is a curse from God upon lustful women. Phelps teaches that God cursed Eve with a curse of blood.

wow..........................

no one left to like in their hate-filled world...

I wonder why all this attention and furor is being directed toward a man who's radio show is broadcast on AM radio. Who listens to this stuff? I mean it's AM, for god's sake. Doesn't everyone have satellite now? I think all the publicity will ultimately be in Limbaugh's favor. Any news is good news. No news is bad news. The more you talk about him, the more people will tune in.

Because he seems to be feared by many in the GOP. What is the saying? "Republicans want to bomb Iran but they are afraid of Rush Limbaugh."

The Rush Limbaugh Show is on 105.9 FM here in Washington DC. It is crystal clear and rings in Baracks big ears.

My prediction: On January 21, 2013, Barack Obama will be sworn in again and Rush Limbaugh will STILL be on the radio.

It may take a bit of time but he will cobble together some right wing businesses at a reduced rate while the storm blows over. He has enough money to ride the storm out... In a 150' yacht eating caviar receiving favors from various female admirers.

No matter which side you are one you get one lose one.
