Remove Rush Limbaugh from American Forces Radio

To: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
We request that Secretary Rumsfeld remove talk radio host Rush Limbaugh from the American Forces Radio and Television Service (formerly known as Armed Forces Radio). Mr. Limbaugh, whose program is broadcast for one hour per day to U.S. troops overseas, has spent the past four weeks condoning and trivializing the abuse, torture, rape and possible murder of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. guards at the Abu Ghraib prison—gross misconduct that you have described as “fundamentally un-American.”

2. Oh, let the crackhead speak. I would like to see AAR on armed forces
radio. I would also like a huge petition for our so-called news journalists to speak the truth always. I would like to see Rush taken down as a right wing loony on the news for the lies he tells. Parse out every lie. Daily. I would like to see Rush on the radio followed by a serious de-bunking immediately after showing what a tool he is. Let them all speak.

3. Better yet--allow Al Franken one hour daily
It will take one hour to reveal all Mush Dimbaugh lies over one hour.

4. Yeah I agree
Instead the American Forces should be listening to ONLY Air America.

8. Why don't we just repeal the first ammendment while we'er at it!!!
Just because you don't like what he has to say... can't imagine many people that do, but come on that is his fundamental first amendment right to say what he wants!!! This sounds like something you would hear in Communist China or Korea... Only let the poeple hear what we want them to hear!!!

10. did anyone think about what the troops want?
if the soldiers want to listen to some radio show, regardless of how backwards it may be, who are we to tell them they can't? atleast let them have some of the comforts they may 'enjoy' while being state-side.

this is ridiculous.
