Limbaugh = not running for any office
See the difference?
The people who DO run for office should have no problem condemning him, then.
Imagine this. Rush makes his "Slut" Comments about Sandra Fluke.
Romney immediately condemns him in the strongest possible terms while underlying that his position that this is an issue of religous freedom for the Catholic Church. This language has no place in American discourse.
Romney looks like an immediate leader.
But somewhere in his CEO mind, he figured that he would be alienating a part of his customer base.
And that's the problem with Romney. Like most bullies, he was always happy to beat up on the weak, he was never willing to take any risks.
Silencing critics? Yes the Left does that a lot, Stalin, Hitler, Mao did it, all your Founding Father silenced their critics
It's not a matter of "silencing critics", it's a matter of saying certain discourse is unacceptable.
There was a valid policy argument here. Should the government be able to require employers to provide health coverage that goes against their rel igious beliefs. That discussion might well have been worth having.
Limbaugh made it about his misogyny, because by calling Fluke a slut, you call every woman who tries to control when she has a baby a slut. Sorry, this issue was litigated 50 years ago.
Go fuck yourself and your "acceptable discourse" and if you don't like go fuck yourself some more
Fucking Nazi Scumbag
Rush has a radio show, that's it. He broadcasts his ideas in what used to be a Free Country. If you don't like what he has to say don't listen
And go fuck yourself
Well, theres an intelligent and enlightened response
Clueless as well.
No one is advocating Limbaugh be silenced.
And the issue isnt Limbaugh, rather, its the simplistic, partisan, and inane rhetoric that comes from the rightwing media complex blogs, message boards, cable programs, AM radio that becomes incorporated into the official platform and agenda of the GOP.
The rightwing media complex may be successful in keeping the base fired up, but its also succeeding in turning off the very independent and democratic voters the Republican Party needs to win.
