Seriously: How Do We Get Rid of Limbaugh?
The "man" is evil beyond words - making fun of a person with Parkinson's disease? As if his normal lying and boundless spew of venom and lies weren't enough?

I'd much rather that my kid see Janet Jackson's breast than to hear that opiate-gobbling thug call feminists "Nazis". Is there any way to get him off the air, either by legal or economic action? Any thoughts?

1. Outside of him having "an accident"
I doubt it.

3. Do what Al Franken did and challenge him to a fistfight
Out and out donnybrook, with the gloves off.

Rush, you still there? Rush?

4. Keep building progressive radio
Based on positive thinking and new ideas, a direct contrast to people like Rush.

5. not to worry...
He'll do himself in one of these days soon. He's come so close to it many times. And just like the republican politicos he glorifies, he'll be going the way of the dinosaur. Passe'.

7. Easy. Stop listening.

Shows that have a bad ratings book don't get picked up. It's that simple.

I swear, from the number of comments I see on DU alone about what the writer heard on his show, his Arbitron ratings might come mostly from progressives!

8. Why would we want to get rid of him He's a joke
Drug problems, weight problems, multiple marital problems. He typifies the GOP. Keep him around.

The freepers and bushbots feed his revenues and his multi millionaire home. He's suckering them in hook, line, and sinker. He knows suckers when he sees them.

23. precisely. He does more good than bad
he is a walking, farting hypocrite, with a bunch of lunatic listeners. Once they realize how bad he is, they leave his station. Until then, he serves to energize the good guys.

11. First I Have A Perpetual Motion Machine to Build
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

31. I love that song...thanks for posting the lyrics.
I'm going to save them and print them out, for times when I feel like giving up.

12. Believe it or not, right now he's probably helping us.
I'm almost positive that it's not just liberals and Democrats who develop, suffer from, manage and deal with progressive illnesses.
Many of these things are genetic and apparently pay NO ATTENTION to ideology or politics.

This being so, Rump Leakage (gods, I love that! Thanks, whoever came up with that! :loveya:) is merrily pissing off not only the liberals and Democrats, but probably much of his own crowd who are dealing with these very painful issues.
That, and his bazillion dollar mansion is made entirely of glass...many of his listeners know about his problems, but have kind of ignored or just shut them off...but this will be too much.
He's hitting them where THEY hurt.

He's an asshole...but even assholes have their functions.

15. But it hasn't gotten rid of Coultergeist
Sure, she's not welcome in any legitimate format but Maher will still put her on in a minute and so will the cable gasbags.

What happens with these outrageous blowhards is that their more moderate seeming allies will soooorta kiiiinda distance themselves from them, while sooorta kiiinda agreeing with them. "Oh well you know what old Rush said was a little over the top. But he's got a point you know." :grr:

I think Coulter succeeded in detracting from the credibility of the Jersey Girls. Not with anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together, but the Bushbots bought it. And those same shit-for-brains will parrot what Rush said on CSPAN in the morning. Wait for it...

17. Not being sarcastic, but how much have we heard from the Coultergeist
lately?
Her book doesn't seem to be doing so hot...it appeared for about a week at my local Costco...
I've barely seen her mentioned even in passing for over a month.
She may have hurt the Jersey Girls...but I think it was a Pyrrhic victory.

21. They'll have her on in a second as soon as she says something stupid
Not the legitimate outlets, mind you. But Tuckie, O'Lielly, and Sean would never turn her down. Matter of fact, I did see her on Tucker's show a few weeks ago. Probably whining about the Jersey Girls. Wait! Didn't she stomp off a set fairly recently? I'm trying to remember what it was....

22. Someone should send him a dozen Krispy Kremes per day.
I'm sure his fatass would gobble them down in half an hour. Give it some time, then they'll clog his arteries so badly that he'll drop dead from a heart attack.

25. The Fairness Doctrine.
It isn't any coincidence that he rose with Reagan when Reagan lifted the Fairness Doctrine by executive order. He's desperate because he fears that.

26. Light is the best disinfectant.
Rush is only helping our cause with his brand of bigotry. Swat him away as you would an annoying fly. Put your precious energy into getting the vote out. After we finish celebrating on November 8th, I'll send you a fly swatter.

Don't allow that filth into your life at all.

That's how they kill the monsters in the movies....unfortunately we go to jail if we do it in real life.

29. I bow to no one in my utter contempt
for Limbaugh but, no thanks to Limbaugh & Bushco, we STILL have free speech in this country, and even a piece of unspeakable filth like Limbaugh is allowed to say what he wants. Sooner or later Limbaugh will overreach and hang himself. In the meantime don't patronize his sponsors and don't listen to his vile show. I have no doubts there are plenty of freepers out there who say Keith Olbermann is "evil beyond words". It works both ways.

30. Hit his weakness. Send in an operative ...
to set up an unlimited supply of Oxycontin to him.

He'll either get busted again or OD.

32. If Limbaugh gets much more obese,
you won't have to worry about getting rid of him. His heart will give out and do it for us.

he speaks the more people realize how empty his positions are.
