Get Limbaugh banned. So Clearchannel just stated it's new rules.

[cindyw]

They claim to have fired Stern because someone called in and said the n-word and Stern was talking about sex. The Clearchannel guy testifying before the Congressional committee just said that their new rules will entail firing people for a single violation. Well Rush is obsessed with the sex lives of Dems. I've heard him talk about "urine bombs".

Well CC has just given us an opening to get Limbaugh fired. Everyone here needs to call his show with the most convincing right wing crap and then when you get on the air let loose with the n-word or sex talk. He will cut you off, but what can he do is we all flood his show with it? Over and over. Most important thing is that you are a convincing republican to get on the show. Get out your talking points.

We can get Limbaugh banned or at least show the hypocrisy of CC. Let's be honest, thy banned Stern because he dared to let loose a reasonable argument against the president on his show. That is why they did this. They cannot have that kind of message broadcasting on their radio waves.

We can do it! Let's get Limbaugh banned under CC's new rules!

1. You Forget Limbaugh is a Conservative Republican

So the rules don't apply to him.

[RandomKoolzip]

2. Wow.

Watch this post get PLASTERED all over Free Republic.

I don't agree with what you're calling for. It's DIShonest and hypocritical. I'd LOVE to see Limbaugh out on his sorry cyst-riddled ass and out of a job, but don't you think that he's got delay on so he can screen out offensive callers?

Sorry, Stern was a set-up job. The people who set it up are dispicable and I don't want to be at their level. Write Clear Channel or the FCC (same thing!) and protest, if you want to make your voice heard. But posing as a RWer to then say "N*gger..." sorry, that's low.

Plus, you're working on the assumption that there is justice in this country. The last three years of Bush* ahve taught me this is not the case. Do you really think Limbaugh, their beloved mouthpiece, would be banned from the air? He's their Tokyo Rose, their propaganda arm. They'd NEVER fire him, even if it made them look hypocritical.

The moral issue here is tough to work out....

7. Agreed

They have intensive call screening on that show. Why do four out of five liberals they let on the air sound like total nincompoops? Do you think liberals aren't calling in? Nope; it's because their call screeners screen out most liberals who make sense.

I also agree that wanting to get Rush off the air says something about one's commitment to freedom of speech. I don't like much of what Rush says; but he has the right to say it.

8. It's low.. but it works

I'm tired of fighting with honor and losing, screw that. Let's beat them at their own game

If your argument is that if we are to beat the Republicans we must become Republicans with a slightly better agenda, than I have to ask, what's the point?

12. Please, don't insult Tokyo Rose!

She was no Rush Limpballs. Compared to him, she was honest.

Limpballs is really the reincarnation of Lord Haw-Haw, William Joyce. He was the English language radio propagandist for Hitler.

[hippiegranny]

3. i despise stern

and i despise limpballs even more, but this kind of free speech censorship is a dangerous slippery slope we don't want to start careening down. remember how stupid people are acting in their supposed outrage over janet's right tit, this is no different.

i hate right wing radio more than anyone, but this free speech censorship endangers one of our most basic rights.

4. Horribly bad idea.

Particularly now that you have posted it here and made the attack virtually useless.

It would have been far better to complain about something he says himself that is offensive and let it go from there. He has already hung himself with the rope he has, we simply didn't have a gallows to string him up on. Now we might.

[Norquist Nemesis]

5. Thought crossed my mind too

why they don't censor him with the same charge. Limbaugh is one of the most indecent, offensive, and vulgar blowhards on the face of the earth.

[KensPen]

6. I am FOR freedom of speech

and my ability to choose what I can and should listen to and watch,
I would rather fight for it,
than try to benefit from the current witch hunt.

9. They should Censor all Talking Dittoheads on Clear Channel

I listen to Lie-baugh every now and then just to see what he will say next, gee, sorta like why people listened to stern.

They should ban rush for talking hate towards liberals, talkign about clinton's sex life, calling women "femi-nazi's"(to me, that is about as bad as the n word)

I hope this post does spread across the internet. CC is hypocritical, did they bann anyone when they bashed clinton or talked bad about women.....no. But stern hangs up on a caller that was a right winger becuase they like to use the n word and discriminate, and then bashes bush, he gets canned!!!!!!!!!!! all I have to say is WTF Clear Channel, if you bann one get them all!

11. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T AGREE DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD LIMIT FREE SPEECH

Sorry for shouting, but just because you don't agree with what is being said is NO reason to limit free speech.

Free speech allows people to say unpopular things.

[Gringo]

14. There is no such thing as free speech on corporate media

Only messages that are approved by corporate power ever get on.

[maggrwaggr]

16. wrong. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded movie theatre

You shouldn't be able to yell "the ragheads are attacking us" in a scared country.

[cindyw]

13. To everyone freaking out here.

You all miss my point. I think that Stern has had his rights violated. I think this boob inspired hearing in the Congress is wrong. CC has put themselves in a position of creating unfair rules that they have no intention of applying fairly. Sometimes you have to call out a bluff in the cause of free speech. SO spare me the pronouncements on Free speech. I believe that the Limbaugh has a right to what he says. No matter how disgusting.

[Zero Gravitas]

15. Its never going to happen

Limbaugh makes mega-bucks for them. Clear Channel is run by conservative Republicans and its not unknown for Conservative Republican politicians, media blowhards, and business people to complete hypocrites.
