Will Rush's latest outburst finally push people to ask for his firing?

[skooooo]

Re: Rush calling Powell's endorsement of Obama purely race-based.

I know, I am probably deluded to think that anything could ever touch Rush. Honestly, though, in this climate, has Rush finally overreached, or will this be just another blip in the media that will be forgotten by tomorrow???

1. Fired?! He's worth millions to his owners.

[dennysp]

2. Nope. He's deeply entrenched, and will be there 'till the fat, cigar-smoking

lady sings.

[oldtime dfl_er]

3. No

He gets the ratings. He preaches to scum and he is scum but he makes money for the sponsors.

[AlCzervik]

4. he's never getting fired, they could find a dead hooker in his trunk and a pool boy

in his pants and they'll renew his contract for even more money.

5. When you consider the type of listener he attracts, it is unlikely that any of THEM would file a

complaint.
The ass-pimple would have to actually violate FCC rules in some way for anything to happen to him.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. No worse than about a million other things he's said.

Remember the "Halfrican?"

With careful surgery they could maybe excise him and save the cyst.

9. Oh I like that. I really really like that vision.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. It will be sweeter when this gasbag gets deflated Nov. 4th

I soooooooooo want to hear him wail and cry.

[skooooo]

8. That's when he'll start inciting violence...

..but in a way that won't get him in trouble.

[tjwash]

10. Rush started off his fucking career by reading off names of gay men who had just died of AIDS...

...while a laughter and applause track followed each name. So he has gone much much lower than what you heard today, and the sarah palin-style "real americans" eat that shit up for breakfast.

He's a despicable human being, and so are his listeners. As long as it is worth his shows sponsors' while, to continue to dump millions into advertising on his show, he isn't going anywhere.

[Fuzz]

11. I hadn't heard that one. Fucking asshole he is.

[tjwash]

14. He made Mikey Savage look tame when he first started off.

He's actually toned it DOWN.

[kentuck]

12. He seems so...so...so....

desperate.

I hope they have his walls padded?

[Warren Stupidity]

13. Mocking Michael Fox's disease didn't get him sacked. Nothing will.

As long as the fat fuck has a few million other fat fucks listening to his retarded bullshit he is immune.

[hfojvt]

15. How is that a fireable offense?

It's not that I am against taking him off the air, but I don't see the reason here. Maybe KeithO will explain.

[lpbk2713]

16. The RW Radio Hatemongers are at the point of desperation. Expect anything.

They know their eight year free pass will expire in January. Just one thing of many they are scared to death of is reenstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. They know they won't have the BushCo Regime or its FCC to back them up. Their days of spewing hate and lies are numbered and they are shaking in their boots. And I love it.

:rofl:

[Dukkha]

17. his $40m contract exempts him from accountability

his very brief gig with the NFL shows how long he'd last in the legitimate media, but Clear Channel is the gestapo of the radio waves and only encourages insanity from their on air "personalities"

[muntrv]

18. Nope. Rush could take a shit in the oval office. Chimpy will just declare

"that's real American shit."

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Isn't he still broadcast to Armed Forces Radio at Taxpayers expense?

Or for free?

To me that is the first thing he should be removed from..

[Roy]

20. I think Rush has significant value for the Democratic party. n/t

Who else can get racist to remove their hoods so we can identify them?
Who else can idiots to show their spots removing their credibility?

I think imitating him embolden folks like Mann Coulter to go so far over the top to push her/him/themselves off the national stage.

Besides. money is what kept the clowns in power, I sincerely believe (hope,pray) that Obama will display how government should be run, and in turn dry up the usual (Corp) money supply for Repubs.

Let him rant, closed minds (that he creates) are easier to spot.

[dorkulon]

21. No, only democrats get in trouble for that sort of thing.

Republicans get raises.

[The Gunslinger]

22. Nope. He gets a pass.

It's been proven over and over again.
