Gag order: Liberal activists, unable to win the argument against Rush, try to silence him instead
The New York Post ^ | May 11, 2013 | Kyle Smith

“Decent folks who believe in tolerance and equality are no longer powerless against Limbaugh’s efforts to spread intolerance on the radio. StopRush is making a major impact by convincing advertisers on this show to withdraw their ads — and with your help we can do even more. Just a few e-mails, tweets or Facebook messages a week to Limbaugh’s advertisers can go a long way toward making hatred less profitable. It is our collective voice that makes us strong.” — DailyKos.com, promoting the “StopRush” campaign.

Absolutely right! If you believe in tolerance and equality, the thing you really need to do is . . . shut other people up.

It’s only decent. If you believe in diversity, eliminate anyone who doesn’t fit the mold, and if you think hate speech is bad, build a campaign of organized loathing.

Perfectly logical.

The Daily Kos website displays an American flag (sort of — it’s orangey, like the red and yellow flag of some international workers’ collective after it’s been put through the washing machine too many times). It’s a wonder that the flag doesn’t get up and slink off the screen in embarrassment.

Because this country has a long, proud history of freedom to piss people off.

The StopRush movement, started by an employee of the liberal group Media Matters, brags that it has been successful in driving advertisers away from “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” which for 25 years has delighted, infuriated, tickled and provoked its radio listeners by the millions.....

Total canard.

Advertisers look for audience wherever they can.

Business isn’t about conscience. It’s about profit, revenue and market share. Anything that undermines that mission is irrelevant or an obstacle.

The liberal mindset doesn’t exist without 501.c status.

We should start suing the leftist organizations. Force them to spend money to defend themselves.

Reagan bankrupted the soviets. He gave us the formula for beating back the left.

Badge of honor!

Leftists slways revert to silencing critics.
I was banned from a site. Every Conservative should expect censorship.

Liberal definition of free speech;

“Say or do anything you want in accordance with liberal positions with bravado and gusto while bravely having no fear of any consequential reactions or argument”

Conservative Definition of free speech;

“Say or do anything you want as long as it does not infringe on the rights or present personal danger to others. Suffer the consequences and reactions to your exercise of free speech.”

Freedom of speech must never be suppressed, except for criticism directed at minorities, non-Christian religions, homosexuals, communists, illegal aliens, and other constituencies of the Democrat party

There’s nothing in the least “fair” about the radicals approach to “free” speech.

A class claiming to be oppressed arrogates to itself rights that it has no intention of sharing, based on the lie that such rights were commonly denied it in the past and hence may be legitimately be denied by it to others.

One law for everybody has no place in this Balkanized little political delusion.

The Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise tenuously held together by the preponderance of ignorance and the threat of violence.

Never underestimate the ability of a liberal to deny reality and attempt to change the rules to do so.

what is it Rush always says before a break?????

We have to go to an obscene profit break, or something similar. I totally agree. Keep your snooty lefty comments to yourselves. If Rush has a sponsor, he always says he checks out their product worthiness.

I understand that Carbonite tried to get back on air and Rush said no thanks. Rush is right, you know. Amusing.

Modern liberals are a narrow minded bunch of bigots... Kyle Smith understands... Great post 2nd - thanks.

In true commie fashion, that light in the loafers, piece of maggot **** needs to destroy rather than compete.

Please don't take this personally, FlingWingFlyer, but the proper term is "maggot obama."

“Rush was good back in the day, but he’s like being gummed by a toothless pitbull now. Michael Savage rips the left a new anal orafice with creative and insightful analysis daily, but they pretend he doesn’t exist. Rush is 10AM-1PM mountain standard time cubicle-friendly noise with lots of advertisements.”
*******************************************************************
Rush is right—the left ALWAYS lets you know who they fear. And they FEAR RUSH LIMBAUGH, big time. And guess what SpaceBar, they don’t tell you who they fear by a tactic where “they pretend he doesn’t exist”.

Wake Up!

I’m always open to corrections and I agree, you’re right.

The Daily Kos is supported and is run by trash of no character and integrity—people who support child molesters and the right of rapists to fair trials and who support the killing of babies. May the Lord God drop judgment on them.

Rush made over $360,000,000 in ad revenue. He is down about $6,000,000. That’s a pretty good haul, even being down 3%.

These libtards probably believe that “Two if by Tea” will cancel advertising on Rush if they just squeal a little.

Now that is DOUBLE funny. BTW.... it is EXCELLENT Tea. ElRushbo does have a good product there. I serve it to my friends, give it as gifts, too. It would be worth the $$$ to ship a case to a lefty and wait for their heads to explode.

ROTFL!! They’ve been trying to shut Rush down for almost 25 years, ever since his show began on national radio.

It shows Democrats and their supporters won’t have an honest discussion in the light of truth.

” It would be worth the $$$ to ship a case to a lefty and wait for their heads to explode.”

I got some and gave it to lefty friends at Christmas. They agreed it was exceptional tea; their heads remain up their butts though.
