Thanks. I hate that this loudmouth swine is being paraded out into the mainstream as if his oinking were worthy of an audience. It's just disgusting.

6. Flame me if you want
but as long as Limbaugh doesn't talk politics I don't have a problem with him being on the show, of course I know much more about the NFL then he does but I know more then half the ESPN anaylysts about the Sport.

7. the problem is
I'd have just much an issue if they had Al Franken on there. Or Paul Begaala.

It's just inappropriate.

That said, the petition is unnecessary. From what I've read, the reviews of Rush are not very good at all. He's getting trounced regularly by the jocks.

I see either him quitting or them firing him very very soon.

8. I don't have a problem with Al Franken on there
Edited on Wed Sep-24-03 04:19 AM by VermontDem2004
as long as he talks about sports, I watch Countdown for sports, not politics and if I wanted to watch politics I would turn to C-span or something but if I turned to C-span, I don't want to see sports. But so far Limbaugh hasn't talked about politics. But yes he is getting trounced whenever he throws his red flag which is a Rush Challenge. Why the fuck does he get his own desk?

10. Don't you find it ironic
that the Limbaugh who is so cruel and indifferent towards minorities landed a job related to a sport which is comprised of about 75% of those he ridicules?

13. I never listened to his show
Edited on Wed Sep-24-03 08:55 AM by VermontDem2004
but since being on Sunday NFL Countdown he hasn't really ridiculed minorities. But as long as he doesn't talk politics, I have no problem with him on Sunday NFL Countdown, of course he gets smoked by the former athletes whenever he throws his "Rush Challenge". I think it is funny watching him losing debates, but alot of the people on ESPN don't really know how to breakdown a game. Some are really good such as Salisbury.

12. Signed.
What really needs to happen is for this petition to get forwarded to all the sponsors. Contrary to general belief, sponsors hate controversy.
