Rush on Armed Forces Radio Outrageous

[plcdude]

I just signed a petition asking Rumsfeld to take off Rush from Armed Forces Radio. http://www.petitiononline.com/mmfa2/petition.html
Now I am not suggesting that anyone else do it but my comment was if you promote Rush you need to promote the other side say Al Franken or other Air America broadcasters. I am for free speech and Rush can have his program but the government (you and I) should have a say in a balanced approach to the media. Do as you think best but I found that really very curious.

2. the curious part

for me is that it is obviously a partisan show and yet the Pentagon has no shame in promoting it. I live in Oklahoma and the only talk radio I have available to me is the right wing crap. I wish I could get other programs. They even took Dr. Dean off because he is a so-called liberal. O well I'm just complaining I should do something about it.

4. There were approx. 850 sigs yesterday at this time

Now there are over 6,800. That's gratifying.

7. I signed it, too, for it is a fundamental matter of democracy

All voices must be heard. I object to paying tax dollars to the feds so they can promote just one point of view -- Radical NeoCon -- to the men and women of our armed services.

That is anti-American. All voices have a right to be heard.

The BushCo Way is lacking in all honor.
