From the opinions espoused by many on this site, it seems it is American Conservatives that want to silence or kill anyone who disagrees with them.

Absolutely true ! Way to call the hate filled , evil and cowardly Left for who they really are.

Be it Cuba, the old Soviet Union, China..... anyewhere the Left is in power, they wish to silence ( unFAIRNESS DOCTRINE ) or murder the voices of dissent and Freedom.

Yup, Rush IS the defacto leader of the Republican party. What he says is how they go. And that's going to work out FANTASTICALLY for the liberals over the next few years. Republicans will have no voice but Rush, there will be no Republican who can rise above Rush's caterwauling to try to actually DO anything, and the left will go about the business of rebuilding the country in our image.

Thanks for helping us out, Rush! You ROCK!

I see you got your marching orders from the Obama campaign. Obama's effort to make Rush the face of the Republican party is pretty obvious, I just wish he'd take a short break from the campaign trail and be President for a couple of years before starting his 2012 campaign.

All I have to say about Rush is that he is loving every minute of the attention Obama and the Dems give him. The best thing that ever happened to G. Gordon Liddy is when Clinton attacked him personally. If Obama's intention is to boost Rush's ratings, I think he will be successful. The problem is that if people actually listen to what Rush says in proper context they will see that he is very smart and quite reasonable. It will be harder to take him out of context and distort his words if people are listening for themselves instead of taking the liberal media reports at face value like you and Chris do.

Limbaugh isn't so much a Republican, but a conservative. That's why the stuffed shirts in the GOP dislike Rush so much. He's not a get-along-go-along sort of guy.

Ayep, just like certain fanatics over in the middle east do.

In all honesty the best way to crush a dangerous attention whore is to laugh them off and dismiss them - otherwise you empower them by providing them handy excuses and justifications for anything they do, shit folks, Castro played on that for YEARS to stay in power, Chavez used it to climb there, and despite raking the GOP over the coals for it, here you are committing the same act of stupidity.

Every time you flame the loudmouth twit, you're just empowering him and feeding that whole persecution complex they use to justify shit so morally reprehensible that no one should support it - and that's a bi-partisan trick cause that bitch Pelosi plays the same game.

So consider yourselfs all bonked in the head with a nerf mallet, cause by now ya should damn well know better.

The best counterattack against twits like this is simply to neither feed their need for attention, compounded by never taking them seriously.

So Michael Steel, the alleged chariman of the GOP, DIDN'T call Rush to apologize to him for rightly calling Rush's speech "ugly" and "incendiary"? Oh, yeah - he DID call Rush to apologize.

See, when the SUPPOSED leaders of your party are calling and apologizing to Rush, when they take their talking points from Rush, when they march in lockstep with what Rush tells them to do, when Rush is the keynote speaker at the CPAC convention, then yes, Rush IS the defacto (and de fatso) leader of the party.

He's your Chosen One, your Messiah. You've said it before, Lapdog - you listen to anything he says. And you no doubt obey your master.

That could also be taken as an example of political pandering to the public. Republicans wouldn't want to piss off Rush's listeners, so...

I mean, both sides do it. A Democrat disagrees with a popular figure on the left, like Jesse Jackson, you can bet they publically capitulate and apologize, no matter what the issue is. If they don't, they come off as racist or sexist.

Anybody recall the days, circa millenium, when all the blowhard liberals were saying Rush was out of business, now that Bush was elected, he would have no audience, no subjexct matter, no relevance, blah blah blah? Somehow they seem to currently think his appeal/pertinence has not diminished - and also, maybe because they are afraid his dominion will greatly expand (the correlary of what they thought in 2000), they seem to think he'll have even greater impact.

The fact that you're this concerned about it tells me that I've struck a nerve, I'm completely right, and you're desperate to deflect and redirect. THAT is what's truly funny. But I've been laughing at you for years, so this is nothing new...

You hang on Rush's every word, and obey his every command. If he told you to suck his cock, you'd eagerly say, "Yes, SIR!" Actually, you'd be on your knees so fast, all that would come out would be "Mmmmmfff MMMMMFFF!"

Face it, you liberals/leftists just can't stand to have ANYBODY criticize Obama. Well that's just TFB, because he 'aint going anywhere.

In a few more weeks/months, as Wall Street continues to disintegrate over Pelosi/Obama's budget and capitalism destruction agenda, then methinks you will see the wisdom in what Rush is saying.

For people that supposedly advocate freedom of speech and personal freedom, you all just can't wait for him to shut up, or be shut up, or die. How nice.

Any anger or disappointment I have with conservatives/republicans is mostly frustration because I want them to be strong. Since I have zero party allegiance I want to have a choice between 2 good candidates/approaches.
Instead, they keep coming up with the same tired, divisive bs. Rush is the past, he represents an attitude that was proven to fail. The people that aren't republicans - the ones that voted for anybody but the reps - look at him and are mystified that he can be taken seriously. He's bad for you guys, and the fact that reps can't even see that further mystifies and alienates the voters you need. I'm disappointed you reps can't come up with something/someone better.

"I see you got your marching orders from the Obama campaign. Obama's effort to make Rush the face of the Republican party is pretty obvious ..."
Really ? Rush's prominence at the repubican CPAC is Obama's doing ? Wow. I had no idea Obama had that much pull in your party. I have to give you credit. I never saw it when you handed the reins over to Obama.


"All I have to say about Rush is that he is loving every minute of the attention Obama and the Dems give him."
Yeah, I personally want Rush to be the face of your party. I WANT his repeated call for Obama to fail to be so stuck to him it's tattooed on his forehead. I think that'd make him really, really popular. I even want him to run for office.


"The best thing that ever happened to G. Gordon Liddy is when Clinton attacked him personally."
Who ? He was ? I guess whatever boost he got from Clinton didn't last.


"If Obama's intention is to boost Rush's ratings, I think he will be successful."
I sure hope so !


"The problem is that if people actually listen to what Rush says in proper context they will see that he is very smart and quite reasonable."
Oh, like this ?

As do I. And that is entirely Obama's intention - to boost Rush's ratings, but put Rush front and center as THE overblown, bloated face of the overblown, bloated GOP. Rush and the conservatives have made it abundantly clear that Rush is the head of the party, not Michael Steele. Obama intends to hold them to that.

What IS the deal with the Fairness Doctrine? I haven't heard a single "liberal" mention it, except for Ed Schultz, who wholeheartedly opposes it. Oh, and I heard Obama mention it once, in the sentence, "I don't think we're going to need that."

So what's with the Conservatives' obsession with the Fairness Doctrine? Is this just another bogeyman their holding up, another strawman to deflect things to, something to scare their children with?

As I understand it, the Fairness Doctrine would demand that stations give equal time to conservative AND liberal viewpoints. Given that the Conservitaves are absolutely sure that there's a strong "liberal media bias" in 99% of the media, wouldn't this be a GOOD THING for them? Isn't this something that the conservatives would want? Something they'd be fighting for? And shouldn't the "liberal media elite" be dead-set against it, instead of - as the conservatives would have you believe - fighting to reinstate it?

I find it an interesting issue - something that no one is even talking about has the right wing scared shitless; apparently fairness is the new terrorism. And something they SHOULD want (a balance in the "liberal media") is what they vehemently oppose.

Odd, that.

You forgot to argue your case that the Fairness Doctrine was about silencing people you disagree with, in reality it was the American Right-wings removal of the fairness doctrine which was about that.

As for the other thing, Nancy Pelosi is analogous to Rush Limbaugh? I thought Rush had nothing to do with the GOP, I'm getting mixed messages here. I think you'll find that this thread is a direct response to several that wanted Keith Olberman dead, one was quite explicit about him and immolation, who I would have thought would be the "American Left" equivalent to Rush "Far-Right" Limbaugh. I don't see why you'd require links to any of these, they're quite prominently displayed on the left hand side of the screen. I assume you've seen them, unless you've been wandering around this site with far-right wing blinders on or something. Hatred and fear tinted goggles?

Oh yes. The problem is, Far right voices of ill-reason, propaganda merchants like "unfair and unbalanced" Fox'News' and Rush Limbaugh would fall foul of it. The problem is, that despite the US media having an overall right leaning slant, rather than left, the American Right has run an inordinately successful propaganda campaign where they've managed to convince most of the US that the media is against them and they're poor set apone victims. Of course, now the US media can't say a bad word against any of the American right without it being deflected by the whine "Liberal media", while any criticism of the Left is enhanced with the equally idiotic "even the liberal media...".

It's a powerful rhetorical tool. One that the Fairness Doctrine would harm, by bringing fairness and balance back to the US media, something the American Right is ideologically opposed too.

Funniest thing I've read all day!

What color ARE fear-tinted goggles, anyway? Orange? Red? YELLOW?

That's pretty much what I suspected. The right-wing nut-jobs want to have their little safe havens in the media, and don't want to share airspace with anything even remotely approaching a voice of reason. Hell, even Colmes got shitcanned off Hannity's show.

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!

Oh, I thought he gassed himself to death.

Wow, two (2) whole outlets for Conservative views...oh my God! Compare that to the Liberal Media Jihad of:
NBC
ABC
CBS
PBS
MSNBC
CNN
Air America
Every major newspaper in America

Those are your major media outlets, and they're all kool-aid liberals top to bottom. I'd like to see Conservative counterparts on ALL of them under Senator Leahy's Fairness Doctrine. If they agree to that, then Hannity & Rush can have a Liberal voice on their shows. Sounds Fair to me.

Actually, most of those have a fairly good right wing slant. A few of them may be slightly less right than the Republican party, but that describes most of the planet, so whatever.

Most of them are right of the Democrats, who are a right of centre party. Saying there's a liberal bias to the media, when there ain't even a liberal biased political party in US mainstream politics, is just plain funny.

Even funnier is when they try to hold Pelosi up as some kinda Democrat parallel to Rush...

See, most Republicans actually like Rush.

NOBODY likes Pelosi.

Seriously, does ANYONE here have anything to say in her defense ?

Jongs? I don't think Air America is still on the air, is it? If it is, it's a *tiny* outlet.

And since when are the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post liberal? Or aren't they "major" enough for ya?

Well, my momma always said that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all.

But what the fuck did she know?

(I kid! I kid!)

Ummmmm... something to say in defense of Nancy Pelosi... dammit, man - that's going to be tough. I guess, if pushed, I'd say that I admire her ability to tell her right hand from her left, sometimes in as little as two tries. That puts her ahead of Bush in the smarts department, right there!
