When Chelsea Clinton was 12 years old, Rush Limbaugh called her a dog

[proud2BlibKansan]

He didn't get suspended. He only got more popular.

[dkf]

1. McCain made a joke about her dad being Janet Reno.

He doesn't seem to have suffered for it.

[Richardo]

2. ...and your point is?

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Sad I even have to point that out to you

[Richardo]

8. Does it have anything to do with something that happened this century?

Have I missed the latest outrage?

[lebkuchen]

27. Those in the military are wondering how Limbaugh can abuse drugs

and get a 12:00 p.m. slot on AFRTS.

[Ninga]

3. Obviously, Limbaugh's boss couldn't care less....Clear Channel?? n/t

[GCP]

4. And?

What's your point - right wing bastards get to say what they like and get away with it?
We knew that already.

7. Even here on DU, Randi is being criticized

Apparently DUers think it's okay to suspend Randi yet Rush gets a free ride.

And don't forget Rush is supporting Hillary. :)

[Richardo]

10. DUers give Rush a free ride?

You must be on a different internet. One where DU existed in the 1990s

6. Are you suggesting AAR use Limbaugh's values and standards?

[mmonk]

18. No but maybe Bill shouldn't go on his program

while his wife's supporters push until Randi is fired for off the job comments.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. Bill didn't go on LImbaugh's show

but I suspect you knew that.

[mmonk]

26. I didn't.

See my other post. I don't do dishonesty but I do make mistakes.

[Ordr]

9. Why should he have been suspended? It wasn't even remotely against FCC regulations.

[GCP]

12. So calling a 12 year old girl the "White House Dog" is just fine and dandy with you?

Maybe you're on the wrong site.

[Ordr]

13. A shitty comment, yes, but not actionable.

Perhaps you're on the wrong site if you advocate censorship.

[niceypoo]

11. And the point of your thread is?

That Rush Limbaugh is the new measure for Leftie talk?

[Ms. Toad]

14. I certainly hope media I respect

holds itself to a higher standard than Rush Limbaugh and the companies that make money off his hate.

I am absolutely not a supporter of Hillary. I will reluctantly vote for her in November if she eventually becomes the nominee, but that is the extent of my "support" for her.

Nonetheless, I want the conversations to be honest and respectful. Part of what I find most troubling recently about the Clinton campaign is the use of what I consider "gutter" tactics including being extremely disrespectful to Obama. While I have absolutely no problem with Randi Rhodes pointing out the tactics used by Clinton, I do not support name calling and being extremely disrespectful.

I never have subscribed to the reasoning that "everyone else is" as a persuasive argument.

15. Sadder yet is that her father was on his show

just recently.

Her own father, sitting down with the creep
who dissed his little girl.

Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed.
what some folks will do.. to pander to a base..

His own little girl...

[MonkeyFunk]

22. No he wasn't

a substitute host replayed a tape that was recorded on another show.

[stray cat]

16. McCain cracked a joke insulting Chelsea as well around the same time

that should get airplay - an adult politician personally attacking a little girl about her looks.

[RebelOne]

17. Well, I think he should eat his words now.

Look how beautiful she has become.

[CTyankee]

23. I always thought she was beautiful.

I liked her fresh scrubbed face and naturally curly hair. She was a girl in progress, a wonderful thing to see. She reminded me of my own daughters when they were her age. It is beautiful to watch them grow and become competent, lovely young women.

Now I have granddaughters, 12, 10, 7. I love being with them and experiencing their growth. This is what I, as a feminist, have championed for many years.

[mmonk]

19. Why do the Clintons go on rightwing shows including his

while not going on progressive shows when they have open invitations to do so and their followers and operatives silence progressive talk show hosts?

[MonkeyFunk]

24. Bill didn't go on Limbaugh's show

that's a lie.

[mmonk]

25. OK

I thought someone had a screen shot or something. I don't listen to Limbaugh. I hear she is going to call into Stephanie Miller. That's a positive switch. She can't just have McCauliffe do it.

[madmom]

20. I can proudly say I wrote a LTTE about it and what a "classy thing it was" and

it was published. Thank you, no applause, just throw money!:toast:
