False equivalency.
And Sarah Palin IS a ****.
Wow.
Imagine if Rush had used that word.
Set aside the FCC implications.....
Liberals heads would be expolding all over the place.

But Rush was able to call her a slut. But people are able to respond. Is that the problem? The response Rush got? I can't help it if the Right wants to ignore those on the left who call out Maher or Ed on their words. (kinda like ignoring the Muslims who condemned 9-11, for the R-right they don't exist).
Rush spews his venon daily for hours without end. Ed has an hour a day. Maher has an hour each week. I'm not a regular viewer/listener to any of them.
im asking a questions to provide your opinion of the situation.so you dont see a difference between a pay for audience and a public audience?Says who? That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Whether someone says it to an audience that pays directly or an audience that pays through sponsors, it's still freedom of speech. Rush only has to make sure he doesn't break any FCC rules. He didn't. The court of public opinion is what we are talking about. The media chose to react to Rush Limbaugh chose not to react to Bill Maher. That's all. Public has nothing to do with it.
You really can't understand this?

paying for viagra is, though.
Yeah. He's an objective commentator who does not express any bias toward one party or another.
Uh huh. Sure.
Keep trying. I'm sure you will come up with something true sooner or later.
" "
and there ya have it. Didn't he give Obama a little pocket change recently? Nice.
the only people that continually call Rush the 'voice' of the right, are those on the left.
Imus was public radio at the time of the nappy headed hoes comment wasnt he? didnt he make the move to private afterwards?so you dont see a difference between a pay for audience and a public audience?
You really can't understand this?
Imus was on a 'pay for' station when he jokingly and extemporaneously quipped the 'nappy headed ho's' thing about the Rutger's women's team. Nobody in their wildest dreams would ever accuse Imus of being a racist, but neither is he a leftwing darling and the outcry was immediate, long lasting, and demanding that the advertisers desert him and the station dump him. It cost Imus his livelihood for a good long while.
So no, it doesn't matter if it is a public affair, a private affair, public media, or 'pay for' media. It doesn't matter whether it is inadvertently caught off the record in a private conversation or spoken in a closed intimate meeting. If somebody on the right or even in the middle says it, it requires immediate and extreme retaliation and punishment.
If somebody on the left says it, no big deal.
Imus was public radio at the time of the nappy headed hoes comment wasnt he? didnt he make the move to private afterwards?
correct me if im wrong.
wait now im confused, he wasnt on a pay service. unless you consider cable TV to truly be a pay service like HBO. He was on broadcasting on CBS radio, and was simulcast on MSNBC.Imus was public radio at the time of the nappy headed hoes comment wasnt he? didnt he make the move to private afterwards?
correct me if im wrong.
You are wrong. He had a show on network television, "Imus in the Morning." He also had a radio show on a station owned by one of the networks.
Dont you just loooove the parsing going on here. Righties are comparing a radio host that gets invited to speak at CPAC, followed by plenty of Cons and considered a leader on the right to a comedian.
Dont you just love that they have to stoop so low to make the comparison? I mean, a comedian is the only person they can make a comparison too? A comedian?
Next theyll be trying to convince people that Rush is a comedian and or he is not a major figure on the right...
And not only that, but TRUE.
What exactly do you think is true there? Rush isnt a political leader. He's a political commentator.
Rush spoke at CPAC in 2009. Google it. Man, you rightwingers have memories that could fit inside a flea.
Just the most powerful man in the GOP, with millions of dittoheads and tens of millions misled with total BS...a catastrophe.

1 million dollars baby! Just because almost no one listens or watches liberal political commentators because they are so angry and not entertaining, doesn't mean they shouldn't be held to the same standard as successful political commentators that people want to listen to for whatever reason. But they never will be because their overall message and ideology is what matters. Even if they slip up and show their true colors ... it quietly gets pushed under the rug. Not here though.
We are not throwing Rush under the Bus. How many Decades have you all been into slandering Him? What doesn't kill him will make him stronger and tougher. He is already the best at what he does. Thanks for making Him Wiser.
