what if President Bush came out and ordered we not listen to Keith Olberman?”...

“President Obama has shown more defiance and hatred toward Rush Limbaugh than he has toward terrorist prisoners who were captured while fighting our soldiers.”

You can say that about the Dems as a group

If this attempt to silence Rush, it will be the final realization that Obama is a Chicago type thug and is a Communists. America will be under one rule, Obama. The insurrection will begin. Not just because of this, but the realization that this machine must be stopped.””

NObama also wants the entire Military to re-take w\their oath/swearing in and he wants them to declare their alligence to THE PRESIDENT, instead of the Constitution...

NObama is moving at lightning speed to become a modern day dictator like Hitler, and he wants complete control.

Go to FR thread # 2174433 and read what I am talking about.

I fear that IF he accomplishes this “new oath to the President”, he will then demand that the military sweep the nation and take guns, ammo, and people into custody.
If the military disobeys him, they would legally be in line for a court martial. Tricky and very slippery slope to even contemplate.
NObama scares the hell out of nme even more than he did on Nov 3.

The ‘worst’ that could happen is Rush goes to XM/Sirius, but I don’t see that happening.”

What does it cost for Sirius radio? Monthly charges? Cost of radio itself?

If there is one true Conservative with the ‘cash on hand’ to tie up the Liberals in charge in the courts FOREVER its Rush.”

With 20 million +++ listeners, even 5 dollars from each of us would be deep pockets to fight Pelosi and Reid.

Rumors here in Nevada have it that Reid will be in the fight of his life come 2010. Pelosi needs to be challenged, also.
In general, they are out of control, and are doing exactly what Rush said they would do——OVER REACH, quickly and strongly.
I think the annointed ONE has under estimated the American people.

Reverse Petition: Stand Strong FOR Rush Limbaugh

o:The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

Stop distorting Rush Limbaugh’s comments about President Obama’s war on prosperity.

I agree with Rush’s assessment that President Obama’s far left liberal vision for America is bad for America, and I too, hope that he fails, because when liberalism fails, America wins.

Can you just see a trial in a Federal Courthouse? (maybe have to move the trial to a big stadium) with witnesses like Ann Coulter slicing and dicing up the Liberals?

Make that a pay per view event, and Rush and his lawyers would have money left over!!!

Bring in “Freaky” Franken and “Out of Touch” Olberman for the other side, and have Ann slice and dice them, also.

Oh, and then give the whole show Grammy’s and Emmy’s, etc.

Be aware that the left wishes to use this doctrine and extend it to the Internet as well as cable TV. They can under the authority of the interstate commerce clause in the constitution try to apply all sorts of regulations on speech under the guise of regulating commerce. And if we loose a couple of seats on the supreme court these guys can nominate people to make whatever they want constitutional.

There is no bright side. Radio’s accessibility is equaled only by TV. If Rush et al are chased onto satelite, their audience will be a fraction of what it is now. Besides, what of all the 2nd and 3rd string political commentators that fill the airwaves in local markets? If radio stations choose not to air them out of fear of running afowl of FCC regulations, then we lose a lot more that Rush and the other big names because those guys wont be able to find a place on satelite radio.

I absolutely agree with you, Delacon. It would be a good thing if Rush remained on AM/FM radio and was added to XM/Sirius, but not if he existed on satellite radio only.

Good point about the 2nd and 3rd string political commentators as well... I'd hate to lose one of our local conservative radio hosts: Jim Vicevich of WTIC 1080, Hartford, Connecticut. He's fantastic!

Connie? Wow, long time no “see.” Of course, that may say more about my attentiveness than your activity here of late. How the heck are you?

I’ve always had XM, so I can’t answer this.
