3 In 10 Republicans Want Limbaugh Fired

[underpants]

Thirty percent of Republicans think that Rush Limbaugh should be off the air following his sexist attack on Sandra Fluke, according to a new Bloomberg poll. Just yesterday, ThinkProgress reported that only 29 percent of likely voters believe Limbaugh’s apology was sincere. According to today’s poll, “men are split over whether the radio host should be let go from his job — 49 percent say so, while 47 percent disagree. Fifty-six percent of women support the move compared with 39 percent who don’t.” Since Limbaugh’s tirade just two weeks ago, 140 companies pulled their ads from Limbaugh’s show.

1. 29% think his apology was sincere? Did they hear it? They approve of that?

Scarey statistic, that one.

2. They don't have to actually believe it, they just have to say they do. nt

3. They were either told by Fox News that it was or Fox News didn't cover the story

I don't know which is the case or to what degree but those are the two options

Fox News tells them everything they need to know.
