I don't listen to him but then I don't listen to Bill Maher either. Only thing is Maher gets away with anything he says---others don't.
It's not just Maher, it's almost every show on cable. On cable they can swear, show nutdity, profanity, extreme violance, etc.. but on regular tv they can't. Double standard I tell you. DVD's are even worse than cable.

It's not a double standard, those are "premium" channels. All the channels aren't controlled by the same entity. Not to mention that there;s nothing wrong with adults seeing that stuff, anyway. You sounded as if you were implying nudity and violence in TV are wrong.
Im pretty sure Limbaugh and FOX news are actually liberal fronts to discredit and slander Conservatives. Its the only explanation. No 'news' outlets can actually be that bad and genuine.
Therefore, I am throwing down my gauntlet at your quivering liberal feet. I hereby issue my challenge -- the Limbaugh Challenge: Listen to the show. Not for five minutes but for several hours: an hour a day for several days. Consider what he has to say -- the real policy material under the jokes and teasing bluster. Do what your intellectual keepers do not want you to do and keep an open mind. Ask yourself: What's he getting at? Why does he say the things he says? Why do so many people of goodwill -- like that nice Mr. Klavan -- agree with him?
The mainstream media (a.k.a. the Matrix) don't want you to listen to Limbaugh because they're afraid he'll wake you up and set you free of their worldview. You don't want to listen to him because you're afraid of the same thing.
Don't believe me? Well, then, gird your loins. Gather your courage. Accept the Limbaugh Challenge. See what happens.
I dare you.
Andrew Klavan is a contributing editor to City Journal. His novel for young adults, "The Last Thing I Remember," will be published next month by Thomas Nelson.

Why?
I didn't have to eat 5lbs of liver to know I don't care for it, one bite was enough.
I HEARD what the guy said, it was played over and over again all over the news and internet....how could someone NOT hear what he said or the manner in which he said it which was sinful and dispicable. That is what the problem was...he didn't just call her a quick name, then go onto the rest of his feeble brained show, he had to go on and on until it became more and more disgusting then he did it again the next day and actually became a PERVERT he was so excited about the thought of that young lady and what he was saying about her. That is beyond sick.
The power of the purse ALWAYS works....I've been boycotting since the 60's.....I know how well it works.
Really? Is his show hurting for advertisers? Guarantee for every one that dropped out, 10 more will be hurling themselves at him to get in. Sorry to say, but you are not the general public, and you are completely going overboard on what happened.
Go out on the street of wherever you live and ask a person if they heard what Rush Limbaugh said. I would bet 95 out of 100 have no clue what you are talking about. It is complete overreaction by companies to pander to the PC climate we live in.
They say Satan is the father of all lies, well that's not exactly true. Satan will tell you the truth, that's what makes him so believable, & Rush who IMO is a spawn of Satan does the same. Rush will tell you the truth but then he will twist it, spin it, & by the time he's done he's deceived you into believing all his deceptions.
I signed a petition today with the FCC to take him off the air. The incident with Ms Fluke is just 1 of many issues I have with that devil, & frankly I'm just sick of his bs & would love to say good riddance.

A 60 year old man calling a 30 year old woman a "****" and "prostitute" and insisting that she post sex tapes is not simply "non-PC". It's grotesque. No decent man with an ounce of integrity would hurl that kind of abuse on any woman. Ever.
Edit: I had to skip to the end. Challenge ended early.
Actually, I did listen to him for my entire 10th grade year on the school bus ride home every day. That was a long time ago. I didn't like him then either. He's become considerably worse over time.

Yeah, kind of like "Yes, we can!" and "Hope and change!"
Looks to me like Obama is going to win a second term as President so i guess he can,
Change is happening and hope is a good catchword for just about any situation in life.
