Demand that Rush Limbaugh be taken off the Armed Forces Radio Network, IMMEDIATELY.
Who is demanding? Democratic Underground.
Is that like Zarquawi asking for David Patrius' firing?
Democrats - “Stuck on Stupid.”
I was serving overseas (Ramstein AB, Germany) back in 1994-5 when we got Rush on AFRTS in the first place. The fight to get him was just that, a fight, as DoD didn’t want to cross the Clinton administration, which was dead set against Rush. They raised such a stink about how Rush would “brain-wash” us. Now, for years we had (on radio) PBS’s “All Things (Liberal) Considered”, Meet the Press, This Week, ABCCBSNBCPBS and CNN News as well. But only Rush would brainwash us.
The republicans had just wrestled control of Congress from the Dems, and AFRTS got Rush. But only his first hour. Even in defeat, the Clinton’s tried to poison the well.
I do think it matters a whole lot less due to the internet. A Rush 24/7 subscriber can pick up all his broadcasts worldwide, and most overseas bases, even in Iraq/Afghanistan, have TCP/IP drops you can connect to. No one in uniform minds if you listen to Rush, in fact, they’d probably listen with you.
Rush had a program to get free 24/7 subscriptions out to GIs world wide. We should ensure all our troops know about this and get help signing up.
