Democrats Launch Campaign To Get "Rush Limbaugh Off The Air"
Breitbart.com ^ | September 22, 2014 | John Nolte

During the Bush administration, national Democrat leaders threatened to kill the ABC network's broadcast license if a miniseries unfavorable to the Clinton administration wasn't censored to satisfy Democrats. ABC complied.

Although I agree I wish I could get Rush on Satellite.

I guess because of their concern for CO2 release they can't just have a good old-fashioned book burning.

Rush is a convenient straw man to beat upon in an effort to rally the Democrat base for the upcoming election. That said, Rush and talk radio as a whole are becoming less relevant to the public debate as time goes by. Radio, like the print media, is falling victim to technology.

A campaign should be started to raise funds for one-way plane tickets for all Progressives who want to live in the socialist paradise of Cuba.

IMHO

Glad to hear it. I quit watching Greta some years back. Is she still talking about Scott and Lacy Peterson? (rhetorical)

I haven’t listened to Rush much lately.

Guess I’ll start.

When Rush or anybody else starts talking about foot ball, I turn to a different station immediately.

So! ..you're the source of those emails Rush speaks about! hehe

I’ll color you humorless.

Rush is not for you. Go straight Hannity or any number of other talk hosts who don’t have sense of humor and irony.

Andrew Wilkow is opposite Rush on XM Sirius, and he’s very logical, excellent, and he won’t try to make you laugh. Check it out.

Rush on the NFL Disintegration Scheme...can Rush help save the NFL from itself?

http://mediaequalizer.com/brian-maloney/2014/09/a-rush-to-sports

>>During today’s show, a majority of segments were dedicated to the Democratic Party/media’s push to eliminate the NFL.
One problem, however: the league itself has effectively wimped out, conceding every political correctness issue and isn’t giving him much to fight for. Yet, he moves ahead fearlessly:

Rush signed an 8 year, $400M contract with Premiere, a division of Clear Channel (now known as iHeartMedia)
in August of 2008. Would be interesting what happens come Aug of 2016

>> 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

Rush isn’t on sat. radio and he may be on some radio websites but I think he offers his show for paid members

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

NYT: Striking a deal estimated to be worth $400 million through 2016, the conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh has renewed his contract with Clear Channel Communications and its syndication subsidiary Premiere Radio Networks.

You think 400 million through 2016 is a bad, out-of-date, business plan?

Democrats are wildly desperate.

Just yesterday we had a democrat in Michigan introduce 3 pieces of pro vote fraud legislation. One to allow people to register to vote at a different address than where they live. One to legalize same day registration/voting. And one making it a law for a landlord to provide voter registration forms to new renters.

Besides, the FCC doesn’t have to get Rush off the air when iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel) seems to be doing a bang-up job.

Like flipping 104.7 here in Pittsburgh to country music and dumping Rush on a crappy little AM station.

Not even playing good country music either.

Au contraire. I love Rush’s humor and parodies. I cannot stand Sean Vanity. Everyone is his good friend, even the likes of James Carville.

I am a devout Rush listener I just tire of the NFL. Maybe since I stopped watching it years ago I just don’t care. I guess since I listen every day but am limited by time constraints I just seem to lately always listen when he is talking about this instead of the other stuff.

Liberals oppose freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, the right to keep and bear arms, restrictions on government searches and seizures, restrictions on government taking private property, and limiting the federal government to the enumerated powers. The Founding Fathers would have had words for people like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and their minions, and they would not have been polite words.
