Thread: KPUA cancels Rush Limbaugh radio show in Hilo

We have always encouraged spirited discussion about national and local issues on KPUA and from time to time those discussions may be deemed by some to be objectionable. We are strong believers in the first amendment and have recognized Mr. Limbaugh's right to express opinions that often times differ from our own, but it has never been our goal to allow our station to be used for personal attacks and intolerance. The most recent incident has crossed a line of decency and a standard that we expect of programming on KPUA whether it is locally produced or a syndicated program like the Rush Limbaugh show.

Pretty much says it all.

Article is here.

Oh man. He really pissed people off this time I guess.

I guess they're going to replace him with a Left wing commentator. Oh, wait...there aren't any.

He's getting old. Literally.

The question is whether other radio stations will follow suit.

Maybe calling someone a slut and saying you want to see pornos of them might have just crossed the line. Just maybe.

Honestly, I am surprised it's gone this far.

Me too. I guess even Rush can out do himself.

I'm surprised, but happy. Can't stand the guy and I hope more follow.
