The deceitful, spineless, cowardly Republicans

Personally, I don't think there can ever be too many posts on Limbaugh and his destructive politics.

Republicans attempt to deceive the people with their defense of Limbaugh. He depicts absurdity by being absurd, they say.

I say, bullshit!

Limbaugh cannot be criticized by Republicans because he is too valuable to their Party. He is their Goebels. He is their propagandist extraordinaire. Three hours per day, not counting replays, this ogre is spewing his lies and discord amongst his simple-minded followers. He takes calls from folks that tell him how "blessed" and "honored" they are to speak to such a great person.

Limbaugh believes he is exempt from any scrutiny because his Party will defend him, no matter what he says. And he says a lot of racist, homophobic, misogynistic, hateful comments on his program. Who else in America can call a young student a "slut" and still be on the air?

Republicans are now circling the wagons. They aim to defend this despicable piece of shit. They will make up all sorts of absurd excuses but they will not criticize Rush to any substantial degree. They are cowards. FOX News and their mouthpieces, such as Bill O'Reilly, are already taking the side of Rush Limbaugh. They are very uncomfortable with the fact that Rush Limbaugh has exposed them all to national scrutiny. Now, their only option is to lie and to deceive. And they are very good at it. We should not let this story die.

2. The most pathetic excuse I have heard so far is that he is just a comedian..

and we should get over it.

I suspect his "comedy" has more impact (negative impact) on our political process that any other person in this country. He is dangerous and needs to be ostracized from the GOP.

5. The honor of sexist, racist, homophobic comedian goes to Andrew Dice Clay who is not funny.

Even Donald Trump could not stand him. Limbaugh is the intellectual equivalent of Clay's comedy. The reason Clay cannot find work is that he is no way funny not that he is persecuted. The only reason Limbaugh finds work is that in some manner rascist, sexist, homophobic, and political demogaugry works for his commercial sponsors.

It appears even the GOP does not want to publicly air the level of vile Limbaugh represents. Now that irony is funny.

not 3 damned hours on national radio to spew his hatred.

You are right - he is dangerous.

The day he dies, I will throw a party.

Who spews garbage that your typical Reich Winger believes and wants to say but will not say in public because they don't have the courage to do so.

the Republican presidential candidates and Lufta O'Liely? Is this a case for corporate "personhood" or Repuklican subhumanism?

This is what extremists do when they face critisizm.

Instead of defusing it, they make it louder and more brash.

Works for their die hards no matter how dispicable tthe actions are, but they love the thought to "sticking" to the liberal, they'll spite their own nose.

No wonder he thinks he can get away with anything.
