52. My local station email
Sat Mar 3, 2012, 01:30 PM
Mar 2012

I wrote to my local radio station: "I'm not a ditto-head, but I do listen to Rush Limbaugh here, and his recent comments on that Georgetown student have been over-the-top vile. He's called her a slut and a whore, misrepresented what she was saying, demanded video of her having sex (ewww) and then continued to attack her character even more. All this from a 4 time married, illegal Viagra and Vicodin user. If he is unable to self-censor, maybe some suggestions from management would help. Anyone else saying vile and repulsive things like that could and should expect some blow back. "

They replied: "Thanks for the note.we appreciate the feedback.

KTRH is committed to providing its listeners with access to a broad range of opinion and commentary without condoning or agreeing with the opinions, comments or attempts at humor expressed by on-air talent.

The contraception debate is one that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue. We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him, to express those opinions.

I replied" Well, that's nice, but I was speaking about Rush's personal attack on a college student, not the "contraception debate".

LOL!
