A few years ago, OxyRush's recent spew wouldn't have caused much todo

[MannyGoldstein]

Remember when OxyRush called Chelsea Clinton the White House Dog? Or called Feminists "Feminazis"? No sturm und drang back then.

It is encouraging sign that folks are finally realize that we have a voice to fight back against scum.

1. He tossed the "feminazi" term around through this, too.

I don't think he ever stopped using it.

What he said about Chelsea was deplorable, no doubt.

But this went way beyond that, even.

[virgogal]

2. I find the Chelsea Clinton comment worse than his current stupidity.

3. occupy

i think occupy woke up a lot of people to fight back.imo

4. Wasn't

that in the early 1990s? That was nearly two decades ago, a lot more than a few years.

Don't you think the Internet has changed the equation?

It's absolutely wrong to state that people wouldn't have been equally outraged.

In fact, Rush has said things in more recent times that sparked outrage, resulting in people demanding that AFN drop his program.

11. A few years ago, when Scooter Libby was convicted

a popular Boston right-wing screaming head blamed Valerie Plame, called her a slut who'd betrayed her country. I was outraged, but hardly a yawn from the other locals. I think the same comment today would raise holy Hell.

The winds have shifted. Heck, even Chuckie Schumer is morphing from hedge-fund functionary to protector of the 99%, and Obama kept his signing of last year's Bush-Obama "free" trade agreements out of the public eye.

5. maybe humankind in general is just getting tired of his schtick/hatred

[Hollywood Hills]

6. Planned Parenthood & Susan G. Komen....

....woke up a lot of sleeping people too. Fast results when the nation was united on the internet, etc.

7. Just in the last few weeks he's made several fat jokes about our First Lady

calling her "Michelle, my Butt", "the First Linebacker", and saying the President's limousine weighs 8 tons already without Michelle in it. He's made many comments about black people and the President. He's tried to ridicule the disabled like Michael Fox and people who died of drugs like Jerry Garcia. The list is long.

With Limbaugh it's been a steady series of outrages on an ongoing basis, spanning decades. I think we've just reached our limit.

[Booster]

8. Him ridiculing Michae Fox was the worst thing I've ever seen anyone do. He's pathetic and an

asshole. Michael J. Fox nor Ms. Fluke have ever done anything to him.

9. What amazes me is that a man who is so obviously obese

has the nerve to criticize anyone else's weight.

I mean, doesn't this guy know how to use a mirror?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

10. Or the nerve to criticize those who do drugs

calling Jerry Garcia nothing but a dead doper when news of his death was reported.

[Kalidurga]

12. Well I have been busy signing petitions...

I don't know if I would have done that a couple of years ago. I have just finally gotten sick of all the hate spewing out of the right, when I used to just tune it out. Maybe there is just too much to tune out though.


This petition could use some help.
