You think this current fake firestorm over rush is huge, my god, and you would be on the front lines.

In your interest for the truth you conveniently left off a few facts.

Imagine that?

It was pure hyperbole. This is Rush's job, just as it is Mahr's job to inflame, skirt the line, and piss off their respective opponents politically. Now if it is ass kissing you want to address, then might I suggest that you pull the log from your own eye before you talk of the splinter in ours....

Well I rarely tune into Maher. He's a comedian however. I would take everything he says as an attempt at comedy. A massive grain of salt. Limbaugh is not. He's neither funny or informative. He claims he's a source of truth. He's a mean spirited horse's ass.

It is because of the highly politicized arguments about health care and discrediting any "lefties" from speaking their mind. It was an intimidation tactic. I searched and searched and searched for "righties" with any clout that have scolded Rush, I found a couple groups of right-wing women voters who said his comments were "inappropriate". As others in this thread have pointed out the "lefties" have been criticized for engaging in similar tactics. They are all being nasty and it is a damn shame because it reduces the level of public discourse to "wah, you called me a name" and "wah, your words hurt". Yes, in my previous post I pointed out the social impact of the words, but I did not claim to feel that way myself. it is a way to avoid discussion on the issues because no one has any idea if they are truly right or wrong and they cannot effectively back-up their game.

But this isnt the first time he has stuck his foot in his mouth. Actually after trying to listen to his show a few times I found he does it at least once a day and sometimes more. This is one case in a million, so why target this one?

Over 8% unemployment for the longest sustained time in the history of this country since the great depression. 19% underemployment (stimulus jobs), $4+ trillion dollars in new debt in less than 3 years, home foreclosures continuing unabated by any Obama plan, gasoline heading toward $5 a gallon driving up prices of all consumer goods, food prices hitting the stratosphere and GDP growth below 2% which means we're losing ground. Democrats won't gain seats after that stellar record? They lost 63 seats in the House and 6 in the Senate in 2010 and gasoline was only $2.80 a gallon, 2012 is shaping up for a repeat of 2010.

To quote the Clinton campaign "It's the economy stupids". That my friend transcends all demographics.

Republicans have had 3 years to make the economy work. They failed.

note. I say 3 because the senate list its anti filibuster majority before 2010

he crosses that line when he pledges $1 million to Obama, and has a show where he considers himself a political commentator. That round table he holds is not a skit.

The attempt to hide behind the comedy thing is laughable.

Wow, you don't find Rush funny or informative...Thanks for the news flash that a hard left progressive liberal doesn't like a conservative talk show host....Couldn't have seen that one...whew. :roll:

Look, when I have heard Rush's show, he has parody's, Jokes, skits....mixed in with his commentary....Are you the arbiter of comedy?

He claims he's a source of truth.

With his tongue firmly in his cheek....He also says that he defeats libs with half his brain tied behind his back...You don't think he cuts his brain out do you?

Oh, BTW, Guess who else says he is a source of truth on the radio? Thom Hartmann....Ever heard of him? Look it up.

He's a mean spirited horse's ass.

Limbaugh does not do satire. He is not a comedian. He is a bitter man who lives to spew insults and hatred towards those he disagrees with. And because that is legal in the US he has to be allowed to do that. But sponsors also have the right not to support such a bitter person who spews insults at people he disagrees with.

Maher is a comedian, a biased commedian who makes inappropriate comments/is a potty mouth. He is left wing, foul mouthed, opinionated, he insults people in a sarcastic way and he sometimes might go to far.

That however is nothing like what Limbaugh does.

It is because of the timing. Presidential election coming up, HUGE changes or attempted changes in healthcare and backlashes coming from both sides. (I hate saying "both sides" because there are more than 2). The "lefties" are pushing the healthcare reform while "righties" are also pushing for their own changes on the state level with all the personhood and ultrasound bills (there are a lot). All these changes go to core of the reasons our government was set up like it is and why we are provided rights through the Constitution. It addresses religion, free speech, the 10th, 14th etc. amendments and everybody is freaking out. Everyone has a favorite right to stick up for (even if they don't verbalize it) and the coming changes can affect everybody.

What issues are important to you? Right now I would say jobs, the infrastructure of the country, education and situations like we have in Detroit -- a whole city almost gone --poof-, there are towns that are disappearing in a similar manner, we're still in Afghanistan and instead of talking about these issues we're arguing about calling people names, my uterus and people's right to wear a friggin cross around their neck while they're at work. I am a fierce supporter of the First amendment and privacy issues, but lets put it on the back burner for a minute.

OMG OMG OMG! The gay couple next door got artificially inseminated, had some genetic testing done, found out the fetus had a serious health problem that would cause it to die within weeks of being born, had an abortion and had a Wiccan ceremony to mourn! Not to mention they don't pick up the dog poo when they go for a walk!

Really? Really? Let's talk about that instead of foreclosures, unemployment, transportation (why don't we have bullet trains) and the military efforts. It is because the gay couple with all issues I mentioned above gets peoples FEELINGS involved and the second set of problems requires independent THOUGHT.

Sorry, I didn't mean to go off on you nathan, that was a generalized rant. Please excuse me while I go pick up some doggie doo before my neighbors report me.

Because, if we have to pay for a woman to have sex, we should get the video. This is entirely different from saying someone has already made a video. Again, I find it humorous. I like satire. If you are the type to not understand satire, you are free to be properly offended.

If we were being forced to pay for condoms for men, I would assume he would say the same thing. However, in that case I would be much less likely to watch the resulting evidence. I can't speak for Rush or you.
