I love it when giddy gets all riled up defending Limbaugh. Who, if I recall, claims to not even listen to, right?
Limabaugh and Maher are not equivalents. Limbaugh: Made Honorary member of the Republican Congressional Caucus. Maher: Gave some money to Democrats. Limbaugh: Credited by elected Republicans for their victory in 1994. Maher: Never credited by Democrats for anything. Limbaugh: Had VP Cheney on several times to spout the Bush Administration spin. Maher: Makes fun of VP Biden. Limbaugh: Made an Honorary Texan by decree from Gov. Rick Perry. Maher: Not an Honorary Texan. Limbaugh: Made racist remarks about black quarterbacks. Maher: Likes to bang black chicks. Limbaugh: Stupid enough to get busted for illegal drugs. Maher: Smart enough to not get busted for illegal drugs. Limbaugh: Writes op-eds for the Wall Street Journal about Conservatism. Maher: Appeared on Murder, She Wrote. Limbaugh: Science bad. Maher: Science good. Limbaugh: Has Clarence Thomas officiate at his wedding. Maher: Hangs out with Hef. Limbaugh: Likes to put big, fat cigars in his mouth. Maher: Likes to bang black chicks. Limbaugh: Received a letter from Ronald Reagan that thanked him "for all you're doing to promote Republican and conservative principles ... [and] you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our Country." Maher: Never received a letter from Reagan. Limbaugh: Given awards by just about every Conservative group ever. Maher: Had a show cancelled.
Riled up? You are funny. Just because I won't be cowed by a bunch of weak, slanted arguments doesn't make me riled up. I work in schools; how am I going to listen to Limbaugh? I used to listen to him pretty regularly until about 6-7 years ago. I've only been back in schools since last year. I watch Maher's show every week. I'm tough. :grin:
Limbaugh had a TV show cancelled and also lost a gig on one of the football studio shows over the Donovan McNabb comments and if you knew his story you'd know that he'd been fired many times before. No doubt that Rush is bigger than Bill. How is that important? You want to go hard at him because if he doesn't overstep his bounds (like he did here) he has a significant clout that you don't like. Talk about "not fair." Free speech extends to Rush, to Maher, to you, to me and to the local idiot on talk radio. Everybody needs to chill.
