This is just a sideshow. Rush is just a distracting entertainer who gets paid lots of $$$$ for creating a world that listeners want to live in. In that imaginary world our heroes like Rush never retreat. In our real world they do to avoid complete destruction.
Outside of that imaginary world is the real fear, that is the world where Republicans have lost every single confrontation they have tried since winning the House and this current one is not looking good. They seem clueless and now aimless and have no real leader who can rally them to a winning strategy against Obama, assuming they even had one. Things are looking pretty bad right now.
I remember Rush in 1993 and this is not him.
hes either tired, or afraid...hes got the bucks to float his show w/o the sponsors, but realistically, theyd be replaced and his audience would grow if he held his ground...
this is more the meek rush, like when they had his nuts in a vice over the Dr shoppin...
*somebody* got to him with an *offer* that he couldnt refuse...
bomb threats, breibart ...
Limbaugh went beyond merely using the S-word. He said that she should sell sex tapes to pay for birth control.
I think that he was trying to be funny, not being literal, and I don't want to pay for birth control. But aren't we hypocrites if we defend Limbaugh on this issue and attack such "comedians" as Letterman ("slutty flight attendant look") and Maher for making similar preposterous remarks about Palin?
And how about the Playboy article about "hate rape" of conservative women in 2009?
Although all of them have rights under the 1st Amendment, I think Limbaugh handed Obama a gift. And I have a 1st Amendment right to say it wasn't funny, and it supports the false notion that conservatives are vindictive yahoos.
