Personally, I'm glad the GOP's public voice is an idiot like Limbaugh because he's easily exposed as the fraud he is and then the entire GOP can be painted into the corner they belong in.

Fox News Fear Imbalance | The Daily Show | Comedy Central
Yes, you are so right! The only sponsors left for his broadcast will be: guns, tobacco, and liquor.

We will see this time. Rush would rather keep on being wrong about issues than to admitt he is wrong. When nothing he says makes sense about the welfare of our country, all but the most hard-headed will junmp his ship.

His show would have done fine if it wasnt on during the day.
Housewives would rather watch all the Hens go at it on the view..
Or some stupid morning show.
I would rather watch "Hens go at it" than one big rooster crowing constantly!

Nothing wrong with free speech. But is there something in the constitution that we have to listen to other peoples' free speech?

As a housewife, I'm a little offended. I don't watch the View. When I have the time, I put on the news during the day.

Especially when their free speech is garbage to start with. I just saw Rep Mike Pence (R-IN) on TV, avoiding the direct questions of an MSNBC reporter and doubletalking like all hell to be supportive of Limbaugh without condemning Limbaugh's "we all have to bend over and grab our ankles for Obama" comments. The more Limbaugh loses audience, the more we'll hear of this sort of nonsense, call it the Coulter Effect.

Change the station, turn the channel. I've been watching the various Limbaugh threads and what amazes me is the people who are complaining about him seem to be the ones listening and improving the show's ratings. If you don't like a show TURN IT OFF. A note, I don't listen to Limbaugh since I actually have a job.

The Supreme Court has ruled several times that even speech that is disagreeable is protected.

That is because many local stations aired it at 2 or 3 AM.

He is not a draft dodger. A draft dodger is someone who receives a draft notice and fails to appear (you know, like Clinton).

I love the OZ comment. I would love it if it became national and it stuck to Limbaugh.
As most people know by now, Rush didn't say he wants Obama to fail, he said he wants his liberal policies to fail.
