Well, Neal Boortz is difficult to deal with in person, but I don’t see how you can call him a dim bulb. He’s pretty sharp.

Sorry.

I’m a conservative FIRST, not a repub party hack.

The party doesn’t mean JACK, if it’s not also conservative.

“***You mean to say anyone who does not revere Limbaugh must be a liberal?

Really?***”

Pretty much. Only a liberal’s kid would hate Santa Claus.

Well, it’s not an absolute. The GOP is more conservative than the democrats, for example.

Chances are there would be no mainstream political party that would make me completeley happy. It’s silly to deride those that acknowledge that the GOP is better than the dems as some kind of ‘party hack.’

Also have the clarity to realize that the conservative agenda doesn’t have a mandate on all issues. If the electorate isn’t buying all of what we are selling, that’s no reason to go completely out of business. We just sell them what they want to buy, and try to win the3 debate on the other stuff and develop consensus.

I wouldn't have read that into what he said...but the concept of silencing debate rather than engaging it has been a tool of the left...and it wouldn't just affect Rush, but lots of hosts both national and local.

One doesn't have to revere Mr. Limbaugh to be concerned about the damage The Fairness Doctrine would cause.

He and his supporters will buy and equip a ship to broadcast from outside the three mile limit. I'm sure there are other ways of broadcasting sub rosa.

Except for the occasional danger of being sunk by pirates and the US Navy, it might work just fine.

Nope... there’s a huge gap between ‘revere’ and ‘I want him kicked off the radio’... Silencing someone that talks to 15 million listeners, and going along with the lefty sKum, shows you’re doing a disservice to conservatives, and conservative causes... Hence, the prospect of your coming across as a closet lib.

You’ll never win elections by insulting millions of Savage listeners.

Thanks... Talk radio is the most effective means we have, for pushing our agenda through... Without it, we’re dead in the water.

Never heard of Bob Grant - was he nationally syndicated on radio back in the day?

Stirred ‘em up, I see!

I will say Rush is a bit better since the 2006 elections. (water carrier, anyone?)

Nope... he's a Savage (Michael Weiner) supporter... Check the daily Savage threads where Savage, and his minions, constantly deride the top talk show hosts as Rush (the golfer, Hush Bimb0), Sean (Harvey Wallbanger), O'Reilly (leprechan), Levin (voice of an old lady), and others...

Savage pounds these guys, and the GOP and many conservatives way harder than Air America ever dreamed of... all under the guise of him being conservative (total lie), spewing hate and lies to his 8 million listeners.

You don't think Rush is a Conservative? ...or not Conservative enough?

It's time for your meds fella.

I can agree with you. The words that come to mind when I think of Boortz is amoral, predatory, bottom line good for all. He's not a liberal. He's not a conservative. He's a republican.

Obama thanks you for your stand on priciple!

Just what Conservative principles will an Obama appointed Supreme Court Justice uphold?

I say someone “like you” who supports the Fairness Doctrine is a liberal.

“Rush is a dried up husk of the greatness that he COULD have been.

He aided and abetted the destruction of American conservatism during the very liberal, internationalist Bush presidency.”

Dude, bro, I need $20 of whatever you are smoking.

I used to listen to Rush religiously during the Clinton reign of terror and enjoyed him immensely, then another voice of reason appeared on my radar that was more vocal about the grave threat of terrorism, the culturally erosive homosexual agenda, the illegal alien disaster in the making, and the two-party Mutt and Jeff game they got going in D.C., and that was Michael Savage.
