Gotta love how this station couldn't jump on the trash fast enuf that bumRush has been spewing about how he 'hopes Obama fails' in his extrordinary and virtually impossible efforts to get this country out of the hell hole left to him by the scum Rush is part and parcel of. Nearly every commercial break has the pig's grunt extolling his pathetic fails mantra. How patriotic..., and yet they still have an audience of devotees?
As much as I dislike their rants and raves, if they get muzzled in anyway it's censorship and that isn't right. Rush had a couple opportunities on television with his talk show and doing Monday Night Football and it didn't fair so well at least with radio he and others can crawl into a hole and everyone can listen to what they have to say if they choose to do so.
Problem is, the rants are also on the oft-running commercials that serve as propaganda hammers during all hours of programming and can't be avoided. I only listen to the nighttime stuff - www.coasttocoastam.com and it's disgusting to hear such hateful garbage from the loser.

Who wants to muzzle Rush anyway? Certainly, not Obama and the Democrats. They're getting a kick out of seeing GOP officials like party chairman Michael Steele and George Rep. Phil Gingrey taking shots at Rush,.... and then hastily apologizing after experiencing the wrath of their Dittohead constituency. The more that Rush and Republican officials clash, the more it shows their party to be dysfunctional. And all the while, it spotlights Rush as being the national face of the GOP, which turns off many moderates and independents.

...And BTW, I'm not into any kind of censorship, and am indeed glad to see the current kookiness of bumRush and the republican lap dogs running back to him with their tails tightly between their legs and lips puckered, aimed straight at his ass. But I would sure like to see some serious counter-point to the right's mega on-air propaganda machine, without leaving it up to Obama to do.
A bit off-topic. But here's a very good Newsweek article showing how the bigger Rush's media presence, the more he hurts the Republican party. Note the comparison of Rush to Jesse Jackson's effect on the Democrats during the '80s.
Rush is to the Republicanism of the 2000s what Jesse Jackson was to the Democratic party in the 1980s. He plays an important role in our coalition, and of course he and his supporters have to be treated with respect. But he cannot be allowed to be the public face of the enterprise—and we have to find ways of assuring the public that he is just one Republican voice among many, and very far from the most important.
