The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Wednesday that he would "love" to see controversial conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh dropped from the Armed Forces Network.
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) called Limbaugh's show "offensive" and told CNN he has been "delighted" to see advertisers drop the program in the wake of outrage over Limbaugh calling a Georgetown University law student a "slut" and a "prostitute." Sandra Fluke, the student, had testified for House Democrats in favor of the White House's contraception coverage mandate.
Several Democrats, along with many liberal groups, have called for Limbaugh's sponsors to leave him and for Clear Channel Communications to drop his show.
"I would hope the people that run it see just how offensive this is and drop it on their own volition," Levin told CNN. "I think that is probably an issue that should be left to the folks that run that network. ... In other words, I'd love to see them drop it, but I don't think I'd legislate it."
Limbaugh apologized for going too far in his remarks over the weekend, and on Wednesday denied that he has lost money from advertisers leaving his show.

Senator Levin has ALWAYS been a complete A**!!
Sandra Fluke may be asexual, but she portrayed herself as the character Rush criticized.
El Gato wants Senator Levin dropped from the Armed Services Committee.
Carl Levin must forget recent history and the last time they tried to take Rush off Armed Forces Radio and the uproar that it caused especially overseas.
These people have no soul...
That's why they hate us.
The armed forces would “love” to be dropped from the Senate.
Rush being VERY popular with the US military absolutely drives the lefties loco.
Carl Levin is NOT the chairman of the Armed Services committee.
Carl Lenin strikes again. How long has that old fool been up there? Seems like a hundred years.
Who is?
Mr. Levin is a punk.
Phew! Feel better now!
Liberal democrats like Levin don’t care in the slightest over the word “slut.”
Armed Forces Network also carries MSNBC, home of total hate speech and the mosr vile slurs against women.
nuff said.
sorry to say of the Senate he is.

The left is great at blowing thing WAY out of proportion. It helps that they are all pathological liers who repeat the same lies (for each given situation)again and again as if God honest truth.
Even when comfronted with their made up lies ..they continue to lie.
To be a prog is to lie, keep lying, and then lie some more. Liers!

McInsane (RINO-AZ) is the Ranking Member from the Loyal Opposition (sic).
Republicans should put a ‘Ban Rush from the Airwaves’ bill up for a vote in both houses just to see how many Dems take the bait. Call it the ‘Levin Civility in Radio Dittos Act’
I wonder if the clueless lib (redundent phrase, I know) would allow the military to vote on Rush?
And, given that, does this ret*rd (choose...an “a” or a “u”) will suffice) realize what the military vote would be if they could have a choice on whether or not to send the loon to the moon?
