    Rush Limbaugh took a cheap shot he thought he'd get away with . he's done the same thing for years ... Millions listen to Limbaugh every day ... what does the man make a year ? 40 million dollars ? let's see, that's about 3 million a month , after taxes ...

    If he hadn't of started loosing sponsors , do you think he'd have apologised ?

    As long as the Republican Party ties their foul mouth to their fat wallets , and Rush Limbaugh , can anyone ever believe or trust what they say ?

    As long as Rush Limbaugh is the spokesperson for the ' Party of NO ' , the GOP will never have my vote on anything or any candidate Rush supports .

    It's worth noting that not one of the 4 GOP potus candidates have came out against Limbaugh for his trash talk.

    I guess they are a scairt of speaking the truth .

    a man that won't stand up for the truth is a coward . and that's as bad
    a slander as can be given to any man , to be labeled a coward .

    You are a Texican , you know what I'm saying ...JP5 .

    The GOP can get shut of Rush , or loose the election .

    and no , I've not told Oberman or Maher . YET . but if they ever fluk up as bad as Limbaugh did , I will take them to task .

    and that's all I'm gonna say . may have said too much already .

    Maybe you & wolverine can get together and come up with a proper reply , it'd be a great addition to the H & S forum .

    Reward your friends and punish your enemies. That's the leftist way. It works.

    No. I understand liberals very well. Ed Shultz calling a woman a slut gets a pass. An apology from someone that has been on air for 25 years cannot be tolerated. It is the liberal way.

    Not correct.

    Ed Schultz, who made a one time reference to a talk show host as a "talk slut," was suspended for a week without pay.

    Do you think Rush's show will be suspended for a week for his vicious unjustified attack of this woman, baselessly claiming she had sex all the time and was a "slut" and a "prostitute"?

    Do you agree he should get at least the same punishment as Schultz for his "talk slut" comment?

    Do you think liberals could ever accept an apology? Doubt it.

    Besides, I don't think anyone should be silenced for f'ing up, including Shultz.

    Do you think that Obama's super pac will not accept the million dollars from Maher?

    I don't think Shultz should have been punished for his stupidity, or did you miss that? Don't you think an apology is enough or do you think people should be silenced if the f'k up?

    I do not believe Schultz got a "pass" from anyone, including himself.

    But you are sure giving your hero with a dirty mouth a pass. and the fact that he has been spewing hatred, prejudices and mysoginy for 25 years certainly don't excuse his unconscionable words, his hateful attitude, and his ridiculous, fake apologies so full of arrogance.

    I hope he is just digging a deeper hole for himself. And the fact that just today, two stations have cancelled his program in their market is a good beginning!

    Typical liberal response. A mistake of speech after 25 years on air becomes 25 years of hate speech. Of course you could not accept the apology. Your own hate would not allow it.

    Of course you would be ecstatic about silencing speech you do not agree with. That is the liberal way.

    LOL! He thinks there were only 2 words that insulted her and not the rest of the vicious diatribe and telling her he wanted to see videos? The man has a screw loose somewhere.

    "A mistake of speech after 25 years on air"? LOL! That's the same kind of stuff he's been saying for 25 years - he just got more carried away this time because he thought he - like some of the banks - is "too big to fail".

    If he ever gives an honest apology, it might be accepted, but the "apology" he's offered so far just digs him in deeper IMO. "Two words"? Lmfao!

    Like I said, your own hate dictates not being able accepting any apology from Rush.

    What's with all the insults about his weight? Isn't that almost as bad as what he did?

    I'm still waiting for Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher to apologize to the women that they publicly disgraced. How long do you think it will be?

    You should boycott their shows and don't buy anything from their sponsors.

    See how this works? :D

    I'm far left and I think Maher is an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), if that makes you feel any better. I like his guests, but Maher (*)(*)(*)(*)ing sucks.

    so you think it is somehow immoral to attempt to influence the public political debate by any method other than blathering on message boards?

    Since the left has failed at putting out opposition radio, failed at instituting the Fairness Doctrine, all they have left is to try to silence opposition using any means possible. If you have not noticed it, the right is not trying to do this en mass like the left is. Trying to silence opposition is different than trying to influence debate.

    Hi, I'm not from the U.S. so I'm not as fully clued up as some of you. What was it that the left has done to try to silence him on the actual issue? (as opposed to merely the insults used, I mean)
