Shows just how desperate they are. They’d be better off passing legislation banning people from listening to him. They’ll put up “Rush Free Zone” signs .....

Since he spends most of his show talking about the NFL or iPhone why do they care?

Forcing Rush off the air by illegal means is as much a civil war trigger as is a complete gun ban.

Because they have an obsession, or rather a religion in politics, and keeping their opinion louder to everyone else.

Question for you: A: you haven't listened to him lately B: you haven't noticed that the NFL IS a political topic - and one the libs are invested in.

(sigh)....there IS NO SUCH THING as a “Network Broadcast License”.

I don’t doubt Dems lie awake in bed all night thinking up new ways to SCROOOOO us. But whoever is writing these stories needs to get their facts straight.

Liberals/socialists/communists have to silence those they disagree with because they have no hope of defeating them with facts and cogent arguments.

They always pull this out when an election nears.

It's a "SQUIRREL!" thing.

Anything to distract the Kulaks from the real problems.

I listen everyday. While it maybe political the NFL has a very low priority in my world when compared to the border, ISIS, ObamaCare, threat of Ebola and our troops going over there, stepping on the constitution, taxes, energy policy, 2nd amendment attacks, and amnesty. I guess I just have my priorities skewed.

Actually, Rush needs to take himself off the air...

The fact is radio in general and AM radio specifically is a dying medium. Many of the other big names have already fled the sinking ship. Rush would be in a much better position and reach a much larger (and younger) potential audience if he would give up the exclusivity deals with terrestrial radio and move to a multi-format setup (Like Stern, O & A and other big names). He could diversify into podcasting, maybe with an anchor show on Satellite radio, and perhaps still syndicate out to the remaining AM talk radio stations to reach those that can't get him on the other mediums.

I know there are a lot of foot ball fans but some of us find it utterly boring. When Rush or anybody else starts talking about foot ball, I turn to a different station immediately.

Liberals: Always the first to demand censorship. They are nothing but book burning, speech censoring, fascists.
