Is there any line Rush Limbaugh could cross that would get him taken off Armed Forces Radio?

[Bandit]

Apparently he has just declared that no Black could be a success if they were white. That it is only because of their race that people such as Oprah and Obama have made it. That people feel guilty for our racial sins and therefor support them instead of better qualified white people..I have never heard anything more blatantly racist that is broadcast on a daily basis to our troops. How is this allowed? It is one thing to broadcast to America in General but to broadcast to an audience that is basically captive and should be free from politicization. Yet no one says a word..

[Fumesucker]

1. No..

[bluestateguy]

2. If he explicitly, unambiguously and overtly called Obama the N-word on the air

then I think there would be a good 50/50 chance that he would be taken off of Armed Forces radio.

3. As long as he's serving our corporate masters so well, no.

[treestar]

4. And he is putting down the President in time of war, which was such

a terrible thing to do when Chimpy was President!

Limbaugh is such a jerk. Why is he still popular with the Armed Forces? There are plenty of black people in the AF, too.

7. He is responsible to making voters for the Republican Party - that is why he was

selected - payment for the votes, gather new votes, match the brainwashing of soldiers, make they better Blackwater mercenaries when they get it out for those who go that route.

13. The whole time I was in

I never heard Rush Limbaugh. You got to figure most of lower enlisted are young people who find talk radio boring. The only time I heard AF Radio played was working at the Motor Pool in Arif Jan. Modern music was played the whole time.

On edit-I want to add most people had IPods or whatever so they listened to their own kind of music or comedy routines while on the road or in the PCBs.

5. the Republicans are trying to make the military a partisan & fundamentalist Christian

so they can use it the way it's used in the Third World: to win with the bullet what they cannot win with the ballot.

The good news is many troops that are conservative tend to get disabused of it in combat when they see the squalid, poor countries we claimed were a threat.

6. Keith covered this last night

I'll bet the video is posted in the video forum....

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Evidently not. The military higher-ups seem to think he's just fine.

Otherwise they wouldn't allow the endless flow of his crap.

9. If OxyRush wants to be heard by the military so badly ...

... then let him do a remote broadcast from Kandahar for a week or so. See how many times
Pimple-Butt shits his pants if he even boards a plane headed in that direction. :rofl:

14. For someone who used a pimple on his butt to get deferred

over and over again from being in the Armed Services, I tell you why he doesn't go to Iraq or the ME. He is scared shitless. Why do you think the coward got all those deferments, kinda sorta reminds me of another big old coward who did the same thing---- Cheney. And the one who went AWOL and got his rats to delete any and all reference to that, from the NARA on down. Guess???

10. In every society some people reach favored status and are more bulletproof than others

Limbaugh is such a person. He is revered by enough of the DoD power people that he can stay and say any damned thing he likes.

As I said, this is true in almost any society.

11. Cheney is more likely to go to jail, than Limbaugh get fired.

Some people are too big to fail.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. He could call black flag-grade officers affirmative action babies

That might do it.

[Ganja Ninja]

15. It doesn't take an act of congress to take him off the air.

That's why I can't get worked up over this. Obama could solve this with one phone call yet he doesn't.

[LatteLibertine]

16. Rush knows how to work his

fan base, that's for sure. Considering his history his recent comments didn't shock me one bit.

I wouldn't doubt the GoP secretly approve of this. Being as they've lost Hispanic and Black voters their only hope is to seduce/manipulate white voters and depress minority turn out.

[n2doc]

17. If he said that the Israeli's should all go back to Germany and Poland n/t

[Winterblues]

18. He said virtually the exact same thing about Donovan McNab

and ESPN fired his ass in a heartbeat.. Not one Republican will condemn what he said so he keeps saying it.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Could anything be more demoralizing to the troops than his daily verbal assaults?

I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to hear that blasting from the radio every day as a woman of color while the fat-head drones on about "feminazis" and calls Obama a spade and launches his daily attacks on basically anything that dares to question the supremacy of white male privilege.
