Rude Pundit: Bill Maher and Rush Limbaugh can say whatever the fuck they want.

[kpete]

(and i agree...)

And the Rude Pundit can't write about the flick Game Change because he didn't watch it and who the fuck cares? Woody Harrelson is bald? Julianne Moore does a great Sarah Palin? Jesus, he'd rather dangle his balls over a bear trap than have to relive the 2008 election from the losing side.

No, no, and fuck no. And you know what? Bill Maher and Rush Limbaugh can say whatever the fuck they want. And the people who protest them can say whatever the fuck they want, whether that's through nasty blogging or phone calls to sponsors. That's free speech, sloppy and joyful and hurtful, as it should be.

1. He's fucking right. nt

2. And the public is free to complain about what they hear, call sponsers

and folks putting the ads up, and eventually shows get cancelled because all that really matters is the bottom line. Right Rush - Ho

Maybe you can get a gig on HBO, you don't have to worry about filling commercial spots there

6. And the sponsors have the freedom to not associate their speech with Rush Limbaugh.

3. One last point I'd make

If you want that vile human being off our public airwaves, it's not censorship and doesn't abridge his freedom of speech one iota. He can still say whatever the fuck he wants to say, he just doesn't get to use our airwaves to say it.

5. Excellent point.

4. I thought it was going to be necessary to bookmark this as the date I finally disagreed with TRP

Upon reflection, however, I concur that those two CAN say whatever the fuck they want...but if LimBloat's speech crosses the line into libel, which I believe it does, then he needs to reap what he's sowed.

7. Well, no, it's not free speech, and if he thinks so, he's ignorant about what ELSE rush does
