Generally liberal??? What the heck does that mean?
When he's not being a communist, he is generally a liberal Democrat.
Man, that headline gave me a scare! Upon seeing “Levin,” the first name to come to my mind was Mark. When I saw that it was Carl, I breathed a sigh of relief.
kabar: “Dropped or not, this is pure intimidation with the very least being self-censorship by Rush. These are the new Nazis.”
Yes. They are. We’ve reached the point where they don’t even have to pass legislation. With the power the left wields at the federal level and the way the federal government has expanded into virtually everything, mere expressions of displeasure carry a lot of weight. The threat of “displeasure” if one doesn’t do what the oligarchs want is essentially extortion.
When members of government try to get networks to drop a show is that not a direct violation of the First Amendment? They are the ones who want to silence people not Conservatives. Rush has no power to shut people up but apparently those who have power don’t recognize that this is not one of their powers. I say Impeach those politicians who call to silence people. Too bad we don’t tar and feather them anymore.
From “Good” Levin (Mark) to Loser Levin (Carl):
“GET OFF THE PHONE YA BIG DOPE!”
Every time I see that schmuck Levin I want to jerk his little nose glasses off his face and jam them up his pompous a$$.
Same here.
God, would you do humanity a favor and drop Levin from the face of the earth? He does more verbal pollution of the air than a coal-fired power does in CO2.
Oh, Carl. About you hosting a KGB World Peace Coounci delegation in Detroit in 1975. Nice picture of you with the KGB’s top man, Romesh Chandra, and other Soviet agents of influence.
Is that old fart still alive? Too bad!
Pray tell, how does this country ever function with so much of an enemy from within?
Hmmm. That's an interesting question. It wouldn't be a direct violation, because the oligarch isn't actually passing a law or regulation inhibiting free speech. On the other hand, they represent the government. So when Sen. Levin says he wants a program eliminated, he's using his power and authority as a government representative to squash speech he disagrees with. I think the implication is there that if Sen. Levin is displeased, he could do a lot of damage to whoever has displeased him. For example, if the Armed Forces Network (AFN) doesn't do as he advises, there's a veiled threat there that he could cut their funding or eliminate them entirely. On the other hand, isn't AFN itself a government entity?
They’ve tried to do this for years! Don’t think it will be anymore successful than past attempts.
Over at least 20 years, Rush has raised MILLIONS for the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Agency, how much has Carl Levin donated to military families?
Under the fornicator in chief Clinton, the libs cut Rushs show on AFRN back to only airing the first hour out of a 3 hour show- still too much “free spsech” for dictators like Carl Levin
Apparently Rush’s ideas are still beating the liberals with 2/3 of his brain tied behind his
And the racist foreigner in the White Hut should be dropped from the nation. But we can’t always get what we want.
The left is going to use this and every other talk radio gaffe to help destroy Romney in the general election!
