Rush uses obscene language. Where is the FCC?

[maxrandb]

Was listening to a little of Pig-boy while I sat in traffic today. He was talking about some divorce of a transexual that was refusing to acknowledge that she was a man.

Anyway, he said "When you are a woman who wants to be a man, you have an add-a-dictomy". Not only an extremely old and not very funny joke, but isn't saying a sex change operation from a woman to a man is an "add-a-dick-to-me" about the same kind of stuff that Howard Stern does?

What will we tell the children. Wonder if some freeper's three year old heard Rush talking about dicks??

1. No Rush shouldn't be fined.

I think the FCC needs to get out of the "decency" business. Let Rush talk about she-males all day long I could care less. If you don't like what is on the radio, change the channel. I say, completly remove FCC decency restrictions from all form of media. The government has no right to tell us what is "decent".

3. Well...

...let's please avoid giving the legal fictions otherwise known as corporations the right to decide "decency" as well, because they'll have us watching reality TV and game shows and cheap tawdry muckracking rumor mongering "news" programs...

oh, wait...never mind...

[ThePandaBear]

7. I don't like corporations deciding decenecy also

It really sucks that stores like Wal Mart think they know what is "good" for me to buy. It's bad enough that about 10 stores have closed sinse the Wal Mart by my house opened 5 years ago.

[Rationality]

8. I agree with that

Shutting Stearn or Rush up for saying something "indecent" is nothing more than an attack on the 1st Amendment.

[maxrandb]

11. I agree

But, unfortunately, the wing-nuts are the ones that keep saying we are in a "culture war". They are the ones that want to peer into your bedroom, make sure you don't watch porn, make sure you don't read certain books, make you recite the pledge to country and God. I have know problem with pledging to my country, but who's God am I pledging too.

I hate to be childish, but THEY STARTED THIS! They will not be sastified until every news program, every sitcom, every drama, every movie, every church, and every radio program somehow extols the virtue of their right wing agenda.

I'm sick of this pimple assed pompous dick-head giving over 500 hours of free advertising to the Republican Party.

2. Oink if you love Rush

saw this bumper sticker years ago, but I still laugh over it.

[CO Liberal]

6. You Mean Like This One???

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. No, but I LIKE your version!

Mine was just a bumper sticker with words!

[Alerter_]

4. no different than Stern or Imus

Frankly I think they're all crap.

[Blue-Jay]

5. Did he chuckle like HE was the first one to say it?

Yesterday, he took credit for being the first person to call John Kerry "Lurch". I've seen that peppered all over the internet for years, but suddenly it's HIS idea. What a dumbass.

9. Go to a Rush fan website with audios or transcripts....

And find the exact phraseology he used and the time he used it.

Then file a complaint with the FCC. You can do it yourself. Best that you do it as an aggrieved party who heard it.

Then write to Clear Channel, and demand that they hold ALL their hosts accountable, and that Rush be removed from their stations due to their zero-tolerance policy.

Sometimes, you have to call their bluff.

(Oh, and write to Howard Stern' staff, and let him get people riled up, too.)

[Ilsa]

10. And Flush calls himself a role model for kids.

No really, that's what my dad said he heard him say. Sure, if you want your kids to be money-laundering, drug-addicted, potty-mouthed, stupid hypocritical hatemongers.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

13. he does this frequently

he can say 'dick' left and right and powell does nothing

file a complaint with the fcc-demand that the selective enforcement of the rules stop!

don't know if this is rush talking about the transexual thing or something else-interestingly, it's one of the few he doesn't post a transcript of...
