...WHAT HAPPENS IF A WHOLE BUNCH OF JOHN KERRYS, OR TERRY MCAULIFFES START RUNNING THIS COUNTRY. AND DECIDE CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ARE LEADING TO VIOLENCE?....


It's too late now Rush, you done supported the fascists and now there is little chance of stopping them.

IMO Kerry would have the opposite effect Limbaugh postulates if he was running things.

PS. has Rush switched to another drug?

8. Note to Rush - War in Iraq based on conservative views was pretty violent
Not that you'll ever hear it in the news buried under the latest celebrity puff pieces.

5. I thought it was Clear Channel
Not the FCC deciding to yank Stern.

12. Agreed. I think there will be pork in the trees
soon. Be afraid, Rush-depending on the administration, one man's free speech may just become hate speech.

7. Limbaugh shifting blame away from Bush's FCC to...
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 07:08 PM by Dr Fate
a hypothetical "Kerry government"...

Weird- the drugs must be good, because this was done by CLEAR CHANNEL and the BUSH ADMINISTRATION, not Kerry...

10. No, no...
Even Rush has one unbought bone in his body...and this is evidence of it..."this summer I hear THEY'RE COMING, FORGETTING Ohio.

People , this is not a game. The GOP is threatening the Constitution. It's real. If they win again, there may never be another, even quasi-free election.

Jeb awaits...and they say he is the smart one.

We are not going to play nice this time. We are going to win. And we are going to take any help we can get from whatever quarter it comes. We do not have the luxury of argument. We will set things right later...through democratic discourse. I cannot stomach the alternative...

I will tell you a secret. There are a lot of damn good Americans who are not in our party, who are scared to death. Smart people, who know whats up. And I promise you, it is not the Democrat Party they fear...rather a lack thereof.

Let freedom ring!

11. On a subconscious level, Rush is admitting this...
...he blames a hypothetical Kerry admin, but in his own drugged out way, admits that Clear Channel is using Bush's FCC mandate to censor Stern because he is anti-Bush...

But I dont buy that Rush is now anti-Bush, even on a subconscious level.

It IS interesting that he does FEAR these acts, but still needed to project it on Kerry & McCulliffe.

Oh well, narcotics do strange things to the thought process...

15. Sure, it is couched in Goebbels-speak...
But we all know it isn't us he is afraid of! Like we would ever infringe anyone's first amendment rights! Yeah, right.

Still, a statement by Rush that the first amendment is being threatened should indicate to his listeners that something ain't right somewhere. Rush defending Howard? A flag should have gone up to anyone who heard it. Somethings up.

14. Hitting a little close to home,huh Pigboy?


He is worried that if Stern can get booted for dissing *,he can get booted for dissing the next Prez. It is not right to do to Stern,and as much as it pains me to say,it would not be right to do it to Rush. Pardon me while I :puke:

But I said it and I mean it. It has been about 20 years since I served,but I would still pick up a rifle and fight and die for everyone's,including Rush's,right to speak their mind. I hate every word that comes out of his festering sewer of a mouth,and I know he is too much of a chinckenshit to put himself at risk to save his own mother,but nonetheless.

Calm down Pigboy,if Kerry is the next Prez,he won't try to put you out of business. You see,with a Silver Star,Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts,he knows the REAL cost of the freedom fo speech and every other freedom in the Constitution,unlike the Tin Soldier in the WH you try so hard to prop up.
