Rush Limbaugh, Get Off Welfare!

[Ravi]

I have yet to meet a hard core Liberal small businessowner.
I'm not saying they do not exist, but there are not many that expect to support the Liberal agenda and put their kids through a good school and feed them at the same time!

Hi, my name's Ravi.

Personally I think all this thread proves, again, is that the Left wants to censor the right.

You really suck at broad brush generalizations.

Conservatives have a longgggggggggggggggg history of being the cencorship group. Who wanted to stop Elivis? Hippies? Rock? Protests? Sex in Movies? Porn? Rap? Heavy Metal? Violence in Movies and TV? Internet Porn? Thongs? Baggie clothes?

It's only because you guys are the older people in the country. Culture is invented by youth and when you see something that doesn't registar in your mind of what is acceptable, you want to stop it.

Rush Limbaugh is a man who makes his money off of getting angry about minor issues. Anger sells. People love outlandish characters on the radio. Howard Stern. Opie and Anthony. Radio would be boring if the voices were logical and polite. I was the first one on this messageboard to congratulate Rush on his huge contract. But that doesn't count, cause it doesn't fit your theory.

And what does that have to do with me saying the Left wants to Censor the right? Maybe not all the left, as rarely do all of any group want the same thing, but clearly the guy who started this thread wants to censor Rush.

LOL I love how you say the old don't matter by saying culture is created by youth. Talk about elitist. Franky I think you are about the biggest fool I have ever met.

Grow up kid

Oh god,

A) No where in the first post was there a call to censor rush. Read it again and make an attempt to rebuttle my post.

B) No where in my post did I say the old folks don't matter. You people have all the money and control everything, EXCEPT culture, and you want to control that too.

C) Learn reading comprehension. You added parts to my post (in your head) and then criticized me for having opinions I don't have.

A - Read the title of the thread einstine _ he is calling for Rush to get off the public airwaves, simply because Rush calls for people to get off of welfare.

B - it is a matter of who is reading it. You said Culture is created by the young, which to me is saying old people to not contribute to our culture, or in other words, they don't matter.

C - you are never guilty of this, oh no.

You seem to be developing a habit of title reading, opinion forming, then article reading. It's a really bad habit, and will get your burned many times on this website. So be prepared.

A-Had you have read the article, you would know that telling rush to stop being a hypocrit is different then telling him to stop broadcasting. Reading is your friend. Try it.

B-Please try to debate my statement that youth creates culture. What have older folks added to the 00's? Again, you need to read. I said you old people control everything except culture.

C-Show me where I do this.

 

[Ravi]

Not to mention that the thread title is telling Rush to get off welfare, not the airwaves.

Nadar is asking him to pay rent, basically. Because he is benefiting from a service that is provided by taxpayer money.

 

[AllieBaba]

Not me. It proves once again that conservatives are hypocrites when it comes to sucking off the public teat.

Oh yeah, broadcasting is sucking off the public teat. WHat a joke.

Also, have you ever listened to RUsh? I'd like a reference to him making fun of welfare recipients. He doesn't mess with the people who use the system, he criticizes those who screwed it up in the first place.

Dear Mr. Limbaugh,

The Associated Press reports your new contract with Premiere Radio Networks will enrich you with at least $38 million a year over the next eight years. You are making this money on the public property of the American people for which you pay no rent.

You, Rush Limbaugh, are on welfare.
As you know, the public airwaves belong to the American people. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to be our trustee in managing this property. The people are the landlords and the radio and TV stations and affiliated companies are the tenants.

The problem is that since the Radio Act of 1927 these corporate tenants have been massively more powerful in Washington, DC than the tens of millions of listeners and viewers. The result has been no payment of rent by the stations for the value of their license to broadcast. You and your company are using the public's valuable property for free. This freeloading on the backs of the American people is called corporate welfare.

It is way past due for the super-rich capitalist--Rush Limbaugh from Cape Girardeau, Missouri--to get himself off big time welfare. It is way past due for Rush Limbaugh as the Kingboy of corporatist radio to set a capitalist example for his peers and pay rent to the American people for the very lucrative use of their property.

You need not wait for the broadcast industry-indentured FCC and Congress to do the right thing. You can lead by paying a voluntary rent--determined by a reputable appraisal organization--for the time you use on the hundreds of stations that carry your words each weekday.

Payment of rent for the use of public airwaves owned by the American people is the conservative position. Real conservatives oppose corporate welfare. Real corporatists feed voraciously from hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate welfare gushing out of Washington, DC yearly.

Whose side are you on? Freeloading? Or paying rent for the public property you have been using free for many years?

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely yours,

Ralph Nader

this is perhaps the most ignorant post (letter if really from nader) i have seen.

first, the radio act did not seek to "own" the frequencies for profit, rather, the act was for regulation of the airwaves. major difference. second, using this logic, what about the government employees, are they all living off of welfare?

absurd. if nader really wrote this, he should quietly be put in a safe place with padded walls.

 

[AllieBaba]

Lefties are just experiencing sour grapes because they can't get anyone to listen to their pap.

 

[midcan5]

You have proved yet again you think Americans are witless wonders who need someone like yourself to tell them what to do and think.

People listen to Limbaugh not because they're stupid, but because they're smart. They have stopped listening to leftist drivel because they've figured out that what they hear from the left are lies and theories which hurt America.

So you think propaganda has no effect? read the piece I linked, it notes many lies and distortions. It isn't that people are stupid, it is that people have no time and the slogans tend to create reality. And if so many are functionally illiterate that says lots. And consider how many thought Saddam had something to do with 911? Or so many think it was a conspiracy? Or so many think Barack is Muslim? Need I go on? Could any of these and a thousand more fantasies point just a little stupidity you think?

And while Rush makes millions spewing nonsense, the average American is falling farther behind under right wing voodoo economics.

you run from things that make you uncomfortable....

why can't we all get A's in school, its not fair, those with A's get better jobs and make more money. if you don't want to answer here, you know where.

and do you agree with the OP? or do you admit that the radio act was not about ownership for profit, rather for regulation.

What is the agenda? We know the right wing agenda: Steal from the poor give to rich; Socialism for the rich, dog eat dog capitalism for the poor.

How are the airwaves provided by tax payer money?

 

[AllieBaba]

Rush doesn't spread propaganda. Propaganda is telling outright lies so people will come to hate a certain ideology or group.

The left hates Rush simply because they can't argue with him...because he DOESN'T spread lies. He uses their own words against them, he points out their own hypocrisy and backs it up with evidence.

It makes the lefties sputter and fume, and ultimately, they use propaganda, like you are here, to lie about him to lessen his credibility.

And it STILL doesn't work, because the American people aren't half as stupid as you think they are.

I'm sorry but I have no idea what that is supposed to mean? How did we get to grading? answer where? are starting on the bottle early this very hot Friday?

i wish, i have it off. it is actually on the other board, so my mistake, won't bring it up here again. PM if you want to really know.

so, what about the radio act?

 

[midcan5]

I just noted a bunch of untruths Americans believe? You don't seem among the functionally illiterate but you are gonna haveta prove it! 'Google rush lies,' you must be kidding, tell me you're kidding.


Limbaugh Lies about Iraq, Sadam, Ossama and Al Queda ties
Rush Limbaugh's Lies

And as he lies do you think the poor working person has time or can even check into these things?

 

[AllieBaba]

He provides links at his website, he references materials, he uses sound bytes.
Instead of googling "Rush lies" and getting a bunch of garbage, I'd rather you actually provided a link to a lie he's told.

don't hold your breath, midcan will ignore the truth, just like the radio act true purpose, he will ignore it because it does not fit his socialist agenda.
