I'm trying to find a list of what IS available on AFRN -- just wondering if they offer any Liberal shows. I'm not having much luck, and I totally acknowledge it's probably user error, so if anybody can navigate the site better, please let us know.

Limbaugh's show airs on "American Forces Network" in Europe, Asia and the Middle East (along with Ed Schultz and NPR). The site you want is this: http://afrts.dodmedia.osd.mil/ (Armed Forces Radio and Television Service). See here for a link to AFN Europe#s feedback page: http://afneurope.net/AFNEuropeFeedbackForm/tabid/931/Default.aspx

This time, Limbaugh is facing a remarkable surge in opposition on every side. Warms my heart.

Ms. Sinkingfeeling, As a service of the Department of Defense, AFN does not advertise on Mr
Limbaugh's program, offer products for sale, or sponsor any of the programs
we relay to our audience.

The American Forces Network does not censor content and we do not seek to
protect our overseas Department of Defense audience from hearing views with
which they may disagree. Our mission is to offer program choices, which
includes both the one-hour versions and three-hour version of various
popular political talk shows.

To review all of our radio services/schedules, please visit www.myafn.net.

Thanks for your support of our troops and for your interest in AFN.

Sincerely,
Bcb

Dear Sirs:

I concur with VoteVets in demanding you stop playing Rush Limbaugh over the airwaves. I resent my tax dollars paying for the spewings of a misogynist to the female troops. How much is it to ask you defend these women in uniform against being referred to as 'sluts' and 'prostitutes'?
