Can we somehow get Rush Limpbaugh off the air? (work update)
I about quit work today. Just about went past my limit. The mindless idiots who listen to madman Limpbaugh were all worked up over him putting the Reid letter on Ebay for auction and them matching it to give to the troops. I come back from lunch and I have, literally, Rush stuff all over my desk and office. Went to our supervisor and he claims to "not wanting to get involved" and did nothing. I think some sense of office peace/behavior has to be present and this has crossed the line.

Why does this guy remain on air? Why does freakin' Fox News have him on their morning show (I heard the idiots talking about it) It infuriates me that this druggie turns around HIS TERRIBLE COMMENTS to make himself look good.

I would like for Limpbaugh to spend just ONE DAY in the real world to see if he could handle it.

1. "Not wanting to get involved"
Call a lawyer and sue the pants off your boss and your employer!

2. We'd all love to see it happen but....
...equally we love freedom of speech.

Welcome to DU Greenwood :hi:

Sorry to hear that you work in a place full of right-wingers

3. Not as long as he's making someone lots of money
As soon as it becomes economically unfeasible to allow him to continuing spewing hatred and lies, he'll be removed from the air.

8. He's Not
It's most of Clear Channels other venues that are bringing in most of the revenue, not Rush. I mean just in Virginia alone Clear Channel owns 51 stations, and only 1 is talk and 6 are talk/news.

Advertisers buy time slots and Pimple Ass just happens to have one of the prime time slots.

4. Document EVERYTHING!
Time, place, who said what, who witnessed the conversation, what was the outcome.

A journal with a running commentary of the events will carry a lot of weight in the lawsuit that will certainly follow.

5. It'd Require Getting Up Off Our Asses And Doing Something
Not likely.

7. That is what is so frustrating.....
No repercussions. Just open season. Just like the clown(s) on the radio.

9. For Some Reason, Nobody On The Left Is Actually Motivated To DO Anything
I don't know what it is. Learned helplessness perhaps?

6. Why take him off the air?
Just hold him- AND the corporations who broadcast him accountable for all of the lies and personal attacks.

The man's a coward and an erstwhile bully- as are those who hoist him on communities across America.

Exposed or compelled to face facts and those who he belittles on equal footing, he'll run and hide, just like the old nursery rhyme.
