"Both Republicans and Democrats condemned Limbaugh's remarks"

[edhopper]

Heard this twice on Network TV this morning. Really? Can anybody name a Republican who actually condemned Rush's bile, not just saying it was a "poor choice of words"

Way to whitewash what is really happening in the Repuke party MSM!!

1. George Will says that the Repugniconvicts are afraid of the Limbaughcile ...

2. Yes

I saw that.
But the reference in the news was to politicians.
Sorry I did not make that clear.

3. not meant as a defense of Will (blind squirrel time)

but as a reference as to why the Repugs won't say anything.

Besides, they're readying their defense of "Um ... uh ... the liberals do it too!"

Just look at the references to Bill Maher and Ed Schultz already ...

edited to add ...

of course, how they forget about Todd Kincannon ... calling Nancy Pelosi a c*nt ...

4. he's just some fat dude on the radio

rush limbaugh isnt a politician.. he's a shock jock. He speaks as much for the republican party as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright speaks for the democrats. This is just more straw-man garbage that both parties are guilty of using.

Shock jocks say shocking things to get ratings. Even acknowledging his ludicrous statements makes a mockery of the office of the president. What's next debates on WWF vs Stone Cold Steve Austin, because of something he said on Smackdown RAW?

If you're going to argue someone .. argue with Rick Santorum.. the guy's an idiot who thinks he's running for pope, and is a REAL republican candidate, not a guy going for ratings (which I'm sure Rush is getting)

5. If you have paid attention to how the politicians

kowtow to him. He DOES often speak for the Repuke Party.

7. I see some are starting to.

He said this today. After the News programs I posted about.
I was commenting more about how the MSM could not be straight about the initial reaction to Rush.
