63. No. I think that gloating is inappropriate.

Rush is just a sideshow.

He is the champion of small-minded and racist Americans everywhere who really should be flushed down into the septic tank of history and forgotton.

DUers need not gloat.

58. He has a forum to criticize the media...
... that would be his radio show.

ESPN hired him to talk about football.

He's an idiot that doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. (But of course, we all knew this a long time ago.)

To: BUSHdude2000

The DemoRat slime machine is in full operation now. First the constant distruction of President Bush with Iraq, the economy, Enron, 9-11, etc. Then the CIA bull. now Rush is getting the full anal exam.

WAKE UP Republicans and Conservatives!!!!! It is time to go on a full court press or an all out blitz to combat this crap. Wake up GOP and spend some of that stinking money you are sitting on and call a spade a spade. IT IS FRICKING TIME TO START OUTING DEMOCRATS AND THEIR TIES TO CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS,ETC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sick and tired of this BULLCRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to fight fire with fire. You can't be nice with them and try this "new tone" crap with them!!

There is something going on....Bush is in trouble as much as we don't want to think so, people are getting dumped on every cable channel, I'll bet if it was said once it was said 10,000 times per channel "the illegal leak outting a CIA agent came from the White House" you hear that so many times if you aren't looking past the headlines and you are going to start to believe it!

Rush didn't mean his words as the libs took it, but then he are always looking for a reason to make conservatives look like racist, and will just on anything.

People this is coming at us like a rapid machine gun fire! It has to be stopped and fast!

He was fired. Period. Bet ESPN called him and said "considering the current climate, resign or be fired".

Please copy the threads currently ravaging FR, and send them to the Fresno City Council.

It would certainly be interesting to see how they claim they're not a 'hate group', considering some of the things they're saying at this very moment.

Are you saying the rhetorical level of several posts on this thread is any higher?

If we are better, let's do better and leave all this hate rhetoric aside (syphillitic bulbous pus-ass hope he dies and rots in hell etc. etc.) This is indistinguishable from much of the Freep spew.

Well freepers, your golden goose is cooked.

This has more to do with the drug thing than the racist comments. Rush knows it's true, this thing will tear him to shreds. Don't reach for the percocet yet tubby!

and us evil liberals, well you know we'll be dancing around the bonfire, hand in hand, Ted, Hil, Big Dog, Gore, roasting the fat bloated drug infested carcass of Rush Limbaugh

49. Broadcast media doesn't really understand "ratings"
Lots of people watch creepy shows on TV - like when you're flipping the dial and you come across a bunch of people yelling on one of those talk shows. It's somehow mesmerizing. For a few minutes. Like watching a car wreck. Like listening to O'Reilly on FOX yell "SHUT UP!"

But it doesn't mean that people are taking these stations SERIOUSLY. That's the distinction that the broadcast media needs to learn. They hired Rush because he was "controversial" and they heard that Fox had high ratings. That doesn't mean that people LIKE watching that crap. If a house was burning down, you'd stop and watch that too. Doesn't mean you like watching it.

If the Freepers do to Donovan McNabb what they think they did to the Dixie Chicks, he will shortly be named the highest paid, most well known and liked football player in history. I'd like to know how they think McNabb is responsible for the decisions of both Limballs and ESPN. Why should they punish him?

Celebration! I love reading those freepers squirming in discontent.

You know, I wouldn't mind it one bit if the Democrats and liberals start fighting back. It's been a long time coming. For decades, we've been playing defense, and in a gradual state of decline.

What if liberalism suddenly became as fashionable as conservatism was in 1994? Maybe we could have an equal rights ammendment by 2006.

62. I was thinking the same thing; we need to play our offense.
It's become okay in this country to be racist, sexist, warmongering, and homophobic in public. Supposedly, the "majority" of Americans are just that.

I don't believe it for a minute. We've let the media whores ride roughshod over us too ong.

Al Franken needs a daily radio show. For that matter, so does Will Pitt. ESPN should hire John Kleeb in repentance!

This is the beginning--LET THE MEDIA REVOLUTION BEGIN!

64. Funny Comment from Wash Post discussion page
"But seriously - as I emailed to ESPN earlier, if ESPN needs ratings this badly they should go with Girls on Trampolines. Much safer. Afterall, objectification of women is acceptable in football culture - insinuating that black men can't be good quarterbacks (with all the 'black men aren't intelligent enough to command the field' baggage that entails) is not only absurd from a statistical standpoint, it's absurd from a 'student of the game' standpoint."
