While that broad brush of yours dries, consider this. I am an American Liberal. There are two topics that I am very passionate about and I defend them to the hilt: speech and civil rights.Socialists/Progressives do not believe in or support Free Speech. I've been saying that for years. Good to see some are finally listening. No Socialist/Communist Nation on Earth has ever supported and protected Free Speech. So why would America's Socialists be any different?
Rush enjoys free speech. He has enjoyed it to the point of great profit, fame and personal aggrandizement.
However, not all speech is civil speech. And what Rush has done is crossing the line between protected speech and civil speech. You have no constitutional protection for "fighting words". And that's just what Rush used.
Please stop equating boorish behavior with the constitution of the United States. In this country, you cannot shout "FIRE!" in a crowded theater, you cannot openly instigate a fight with a public or private citizen and you certainly should not get away with boorish, churlish, childish language broadcast to millions and call it constitutionally protected speech.
