"A group of female military veterans issued a statement on Monday calling for Limbaugh's show to be pulled from the airwaves of the American Forces Network. AFN is a government-run media service that provides television and radio programming to American service members overseas."

Yawn! If these women do not like Rush,all they have to do is to not listen to him.I do that with country music and rap.It is a very simple concept.If these women believe in censorship of the airwaves,than I suggest that they move to a country where the government determines what you can listen to.Also,I am a six year Veteran and even though Rush can be obnoxious at times,I still don't believe in censorship.JUST TURN HIM OFF!DUH!

By the way even Progressive Prophet Jr Bill Maher thinks the fury over Limbaugh is a joke...

Hate to defend #RushLimbaugh but he apologized, liberals looking bad not accepting. Also hate intimidation by sponsor pullout

Because if you "save the world through peace and tolerance" & "erase the hate" Liberal/Progressives applied your brush of "fairness" & "respect females" equally you would be storming Mr. Maher's castle.

I really hate this pussy pc culture we have now. Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and & Hunter S. Thompson would not be allowed to exist in today's world.

Like Buckeye says, if you don't like Rush don't listen. I think he is a piss boy for the Neo-Con elite and don't waste my time listening to him. The Cowherd and Scott Van Pelt show are better politically.

Gotta agree with buckeye278 on this one.

I've never listened to Rush Limbaugh on the radio, nor do I care to do so. I'm certainly not defending him.

If people don't want to hear him, stop listening. If enough people stop listening, his show will end for low ratings.

The problem can take care of itself...I'm not a big fan of protesting to get a show or program off the air.

Funny that Wilson kicks Levin off of WSPD for saying mean things about Ron Paul and conservatives don't scream censorship. Rush refers to women who take birth control and sluts and prostitutes who should have to film themselves having sex for all to see and the people who want them off the air are anti-free speech fascists.

Does anyone besides Wolfie listen to Mumbles Wilson?

LOL dbw, never heard that knickname before but it really fits.

I'm not bashing Brian's political beliefs but sincerely feel that a radio professional should be able to complete a few sentences without a boatload of "ummm's and Ahhhh's"

Sensor, I don't listen to WSPD and rarely open TT threads about WSPD, so I'm not familiar with the situation you're talking about.

(Not that I'm a diehard Conservative anyhow, but I suppose I lean slightly that way.)

I almost wish I was unfamiliar with this Rush Limbaugh situation, but you can't help being bombarded with the story in all the national outlets.

mom2 then you would be ignorant to being fully informed. I listen to everything in bits and pieces. Most of the highly offending I ignore the most. I do try and keep informed and sadly that includes all. As for mumbles Herr Wilson WSPD Program Minister I never listen to him more than 10 minutes at a time before I'm reaching for the dial in disbelief.

The spring bird migration is occurring now in our area. To be fully informed, listen to the Stokes Field Guide to Eastern Bird Songs.

I'm ignorant because I don't listen to AM talk radio? Um, okay.

As for not reading the WSPD threads on TT, I rarely open them up because those topics tend to turn ugly quickly.

I don't avoid the threads because of the subject matter - I avoid the threads because of the name calling and general immaturity often exhibited by the participants.

They won't drop Rush.

I'm no Rush fan but his show on AFN was one of the most popular in country. I can think of at least 3 Sections who listened to it, whole sections, not people.

And the complaints of those deployed will be louder than anyone stateside, because there's little else to do in their free time, never underestimate the power of the Fobbits on Groundfob Day and every day is Groundfob Day.
