Rush has not been silenced at all. Rush is sucessful at what he does because he does not bore the hell out of his audience by overkill on subjects that only a small portion of his audience are obsessed with. Most of his audience are conservative on a number of issues, they are not just anti-gay, and it is too early in this nomination to obsess and make everyone upset. We need to be pragmatic and not bitch about every single thing that comes up, especially when we know the LA Slimes record of hating conservatives. They are probably reading this thread like the DUmmies and are getting a good laugh at the over-reaction hysteria on this thread.
Go here and see if you think this didn't deserve mentioning. BTW it was eventually thrown out by a higher court, but this went on for a while.
