direct the FCC to investigate Rush Limbaugh for biased and distorted news and for making intimidating statements
On February 29 and March 1, 2010, Rush Limbaugh broadcast biased and distorted news commentary as well as intimidating statements about an individual, Sandra Fluke.
On the air, he called Fluke a slut and a prostitute in response to Congressional testimony regarding contraception. The next day he aired these intimidating remarks:
"If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch."
In addition, this language, directed at a specific individual, meets the Supreme Court test for obscenity: it appeals to prurient interest, it depicts offensive sexual conduct (peeping Toms) and it lacks serious literary, artistic or political value.
Created: Mar 02, 2012

(6,436 posts)I think people need to be informed that this petition exists. This should get the needed number of signatures EASILY.
I thought of starting a petition stating: "It is hereby resolved, that Rush Limbaugh is, beyond all doubt, an ignorant ass." .. but I thought they might not allow that on their site.
anyway, I signed the FCC investigation petition.
