2. Limbaugh is "a symptom" of underlying racism. Some elements of the teabagger
movement are "white supremacists" and "neo-nazis" who have found a temporary home with the teabaggers.

The anti-government movement would do themselves "a great service" if it would filter these people out of their ranks.

However, there must be some HIGH LEVEL support for "racism" since Limbaugh has a job and even is on the Armed Forces Networks. :(

4. If it wasn't him, it would be someone else
The sheeple need a herder, someone to tell them what to do and think. Better to have an idiot like Limbaugh than someone intelligent. I guess we should be thankful they are willing to listen to the idiot. It has been documented that his listeners are much more ignorant of current events than the common man. Imagine what they could do if they had a REAL leader!

6. If it wasn't Limbaugh, it would be somebody else
There have always been demagogues in this country (see Father Coughlin). The problem is that Limbaugh has a platform. If Reagan hadn't repealed the Fairness Doctrine, we wouldn't have Limbaugh and others of his ilk. But Reagan, or at least somebody in his circle, knew what he was doing when they repealed the Fairness Doctrine.

You want to get rid of Limbaugh, then pressure Obama and the Congress to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. Of course we all know that's not going to happen.

9. He sits in his cocoon all day long like the scorpion he is and spews
his hate filled violence to the world. And what I can not for the life of me understand, why any person that calls themself a Christian would listen to the filth he spews. What in the world is Christian about him. He opposes all the good things in this country.

15. Only if...
He ends up convincing all his stupid followers to exit the planet with him, because with Limbaugh gone, there's still a whole lot of stupid and evil out there. At least they have a label now ('Dittoheads').

19. I wouldn't feel bad in the least if he developed a case of permanent laryngitis.
Either that, or if he just decided out of the blue to retire and never speak out in public again.

23. It would be a start
but he is just the tip of a very big iceberg. Honestly, I'd like to see Glenn Beck or Dick Cheney go before Limbaugh.

31. There are millions of Limbaughs.
Which is why we don't live in a very nice world sometimes. Why we had to fight for civil rights. Why there are wars.
