    C'mon, are you even paying attention here? It's the DCCC. That's the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

    Explain how the DCCC is going to control the airwaves?
    Explain how they have less of a right to their opinion than Rush does?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Asking people who disagree with Rush Limbaugh to exercise their right to free speech is controlling the airwaves?

    That's a novel interpretation. I know you're trying to "stir up" Democrats, but you're not even making an effort here. ;)

    That's not much of an explanation.

    Rush is just an old schooler and is pissed there is a black man in office.
    fuck him.

    and Agent, your responses and view are just as opinionated and one sided as the stuff you linked, so whats the difference?

    I imagine one difference is that Agent is a private citizen, while the stuff he linked is based on quotes taken out of context and then used by our elected officials to attack a fellow private citizen.

    Well, one thing this attack has done is make me give Limbaugh a listen today to see what the fuss is all about. Apparently his show starts at 9am on 1190 KEX (former home station of the Blazers before the move to the Allen-owned KXL).

    and this violates what again?
    and the republicans have never done this?


    I mean, this is all pretty standard political methods of getting things done, done by both sides countless times over and over.

    I've actually never seen a private citizen who simply is expressing his right to free speech the subject of a campaign by a group of partisan congresspeople. I read it as an implicit threat against Limbaugh; why else bring it up? It's just a guy saying he hopes widespread governmental interference into the public sector fails. Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, but I don't think our politicians should use those words in any implicit threat toward a private citizen of the United States.

    If Rush was just some ordinary "private" citizen, then I MAY agree with you; however, Rush is on the air, spewing out negative propaganda to anyone who tunes in and listens. I find him a threat to our country personally and I see no constructive criticism in his "talk", just downright negativity, doom and gloom. To me, he is no better than letting Bin Laden or some other America hater, come over and have a radio show to spew their 'crap'.

    Ultimately it's all how its perceived by the audience on both sides. People hate democrats, people hate Rush. Big deal.

    Of course there is a connection. That hardly proves the ridiculous claim that the DCCC controls who is on the airwaves.

    Especially since what the DCCC has threatened to do is to send a petition signed by citizens to Limbaugh. Pretty much the definition of totalitarianism, I guess.

    Doom and gloom? That's what I've been hearing from Obama about the economy. Since when is disagreeing with the plan of a President who is "negative" by his own words about "sacrifice" a criminal act?

    If you see bin Laden as on par with a guy like Rush Limbaugh, I don't think it's worth continuing this dialogue. Although I will say, both Obama and the Dems have put more words into attacking Limbaugh than they have toward bin Laden in the past week.

    Bush and the GOP never went this far toward the many people who disagreed with them, so I guess you do have a point.

    Really? You hear doom and gloom from Obama? LOL nice. The only thing Obama is talking about is repairing the mess your messiah put us in.

    What is my view? That a democratic committee that raises money for democrats are pretty ridiculous to take Rush Limbaugh's statement totally out of context and use it as a political tool to attack him?

    And he's "pissed" that there's a black man in office...and here we go with the race card. You can't criticize Obama because he's black I guess, typical liberal bullshit. right here folks. welcome to the new america.
