Edited on Tue Aug-25-09 12:37 PM by 1776Forever
Today coming home from the grocery store I had the radio on for a few minutes and Rush came on and started to spew his hatred and lies so thick it actually made me ill. It is so degrading to our country in the name of "free" speech that Rush gets away with his dangerous lies and calls it "entertainment"! Rush Limbaugh today accused the President and his AG as following the orders from Bill Ayres concerning an investigation of the CIA terrorist investigations! He also said President Obama hates America and that he is a fascist leader (he said he has changed from socialist). Then he mixed in the death to granny lies and even more degrading talk!

And the worst thing about this is there are so many fanatical people out there who take this talk as the truth! I would think that someone in the Government would call him out on these dangerous speeches! Beck and him both need to be sent to the "funny farm" together for good!

1. Maybe there should be a disclaimer
that airs every 10 minutes or so that says "The program you are listening to is purely entertainment. Nothing said during this program should be considered news or anything other than fiction."

That way we don't interfere with rush's right to "free speech". :)

2. I like it - anything would be an improvement with the hatred message as being "news"!

3. He gets away with the same crap as Glenn Beck. Enough!
These guys and Savage and Mark Levin are code words away from calling for the assassination of the president. One of them will step over the line and openly call for it (probably Beck, but O'Reilly is a wild card). They are nuts, and somebody will commit violence in their names.

We can only pray it won't happen but it is still on the surface everyday that these hate filled speeches go out over the airwaves!

5. Perhaps a liberal radio personality needs to start saying whatever crap they
want about Rethugs (they kill young people!) and see if they get away with it.
