Somebody needs to start a petition to get Rush kicked off of the radio.

Last edited Sat Mar 3, 2012, 07:40 AM - Edit history (1)

We need to do something to get rid of that male chauvinist pig and we need to do it while the sponsors that support his radio program are sensitive about looking like they support misogynists.

I would do it, but I don't know how.
But, somebody here knows how to do it.
And once it is created, we can all sign it and support Sandra Fluke and get rid of the pariah that Rush is from off of the radio.

We need to do this quickly -- this week.
While he is bouncing up and down in his chair full of himself, bashing women daily!!

To get him off of Armed Forces Radio, and then off of radio, completely.

5. Starving him of sponsors

would get rid of him even faster than a petition signed by every member of the sane half of this country. We're doing a pretty good job of that, we just need a bit more effort.

May I suggest that referrering to the brave soul who is the subject of Limpballs' vitriol as "that Fluke woman" is not exactly salutary?

I also want him off of the Armed Forces Radio Network.
NOW!

So, we need to get the attention of Congress too, so those Congressmen and Congresswomen can place more pressure on the Secretary of Defense to get Rush off of being broadcast on that network.

Rush was not broadcast on the AFRN until Rumsfeld put him on there.
Well, Rumsfeld is gone.
So, now we need to implement change in that radio network.

I asked people 3 years ago to help get rid of Rush right after President Obama was sworn into office, but no one seemed to think it was necessary.
It is.

Rush is extremely unpopular amongst the troops now. Especially overseas. His ratings have fallen and he is yesterday's news, much like Bush, Rumsfeld, et al.

Funny that Rush is so unpopular amongst the troops. Just came back from rotation and never heard anyone who didn't agree with him. Although I was mostly in the field I am sure their are a lot of REMF'S who didn't like him. And if you don't know what a REMF is then you either didn't serve or you were one.

... and that is if his show loses money for the stations that carry it.

Concentrate on that.

The recent shooting in Colorado is a direct result of the hate spewed by Limbaugh and I want a renewed effort to have him taken off of the radio that our troops are listening to overseas.

Make no mistake about it, I'm totally serious!!

the reason you don't know how is the fact that the first amendment allows freedom of speech. If you do not like him then do what some do, DO NOT LISTEN! Fairly simple plan dont you think?
