I wish it had been stronger also. Hate to see anyone catering to the Dims in any way.

It treads a fine line, but I think it puts a foot down in the right place. Screw you would not have been diplomatic, however pleasing :)

Most Certainly should have been ! i wonder if he listened to the show before writting the letter it sure is a weak stance for someone who should know that rush was in the right on all accounts !

It should have been a stronger statement.

To say the least. The Clear Channel president does nothing to refute Harry Reid's lies about what Rush actually said. Is he running scarred of Queen Hilary and a new fairness doctrine?

No kidding.

The next question is, is there even any member of the senate willing to read even that, lame, statement into the record?

"I hope you will appreciate that I cannot speak with authority as to whom exactly Mr. Limbaugh's comments were directed, or what was his intent."

?!!!????

Without a doubt.

He states and restates that Rush has a right to say what he said, but Reid never claimed otherwise in his letter. And he halfway concedes the point Reid is actually trying make -- that Rush dissed the troops -- when he begins his statements with "While I may not agree with what the hosts say..."

What a limp noodle. Where is the backbone, people?

On the other hand, I guess I can sympathize somewhat since the Dems are liable to muzzle ClearChannel if they perceive him as being uppity.

I wish it had been stronger too. However, it is quite pleasurable to see “first amendment rights!” shoved back in their faces.

Everytime they criticize the military, what do they say?

“Dissent is patriotic!” Well, they’ve just been told Rush’s dissent from them is his first amendment right, and patriotic.

I agree. He should have SLAMMED that horses ass for even bring that letter to him , especially knowing that it’s all part of a big plan to silence Talk Radio. The Dems have super big balls. They slander the troops on a daily basis.

Perhaps the stronger statement could have been delivered in a follow-up phone call or private letter?

It should have been a stronger statement.

My view is that it was a perfect approach. Had it been stronger, it would have given them something else to fight. Instead the letter made those that were critical of Clear Channel look childish. It accomplished by showing, not telling or yelling.
