These people should get voted out of Congress. They’re dangerous.

Well, be sure to tune into his latest soap opera. I have tired of all the talking heads expect a few local talk show types.

Our government has just moved one step closer to Communism now that members of Congress are publicly denouncing a private citizen within the chambers of Congress.

Frightening, actually.

Rush is only the excuse they are using - he's the punching bag to silence us all. It's all about shutting down conservative talk radio - they couldn't get their communist 'Fairness Doctrine' through, but they are bound and determined to shut down our voices.

We are too complacent - we tut tut about it - but in the belief that this is still a country of sanity and, individual rights and freedom of speech, we naively think this isn't much more than posturing.

It is MUCH MORE. If we do not make a big noise NOW - FREEP the media - and let them know we know they're lying through their teeth, that it's a thinly disguised tactic to shut up the Conservative voices and demand the media point out the hypocrisy by playing the clips on Murtha, Kerry and Chucky REALLY denigrating our troops = with total silence from the Socialists...

Start screaming, FREEP - who has the media list????

We wont' be just defending Rush - we will be defending our freedom of speech, and if we let them get away with this, all other freedoms will fall like dominoes...We have to do more than sit here and post feel good repartee

I mean the guy was coming across like he was on the government payroll. That's when we parted company.

Will you join him again, now that elected members of the government are slandering him?

And while you are at it you might get someone to teach Harry Reid to read. (No pun intended) He had his mouth running before his head was engaged. I am assuming he was talking about the quotation from Limbaugh that he twisted.

Until he stated sounding like he was broadcasting from the White House basement. I mean the guy was coming across like he was on the government payroll. That's when we parted company.

You must have missed the shows (weeks?) when he dealt with immigration amnesty and the medicare expansion. I think Rush also finds the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) objectionable. He has taken Republicans in Congress to task on countless occasions. I think he finds Bush to be a decent man with sometimes decent instincts. I would not call him anything close to "in the pockets of" Republicans in any public venue.

I think he will support Republicans as the only game in town on some occasions. Who knows? Maybe he's right about that. I have a hard time supporting people who talk a good game while having a history of RINOism. I guess I prefer people in races who actually have core beliefs that I can support.

I think Rush is one of the good guys who, post Reagan, makes conservatism both respectable and fun. I think he is also the best of the best in shedding the light of day on issues that never get a fair hearing in traditional news outlets.

For any Republican Legislator that has the nerve, how about introducing into the Congressional Record the transcript of Rush’s broadcast.

If this were done, it would clear up the Democratic legislator’s distortions of the facts (and hopefully saving them the embarrassment of spewing nonsense, due to their being ill informed, or not wanting to be informed).

If you would like a fresh air sight go to M-F 10-12am. WTIC1080 Jim Vicevich show. Lots of good country/country rock music and good conservative talk and defense of the troops. It is in Connecticut however you could stream.You have been around these parts along time I understand you are tired but check it out.

Remember the names of these oh-so-brave people who are trying to take away whatever rights you may have left, and see that they get voted out of office.

Liberals, Atheists, Agnostics, Homosexuals:

Hell awaits you.

"You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell"

Matthew 23:33

I don't post that lightly.

If some of you read this, sober your mind quickly.

Make no mistake.

Without Christ, you are going to Hell.

We are seeing the Big Lie in action....

What happens when you outlaw dueling.

I bet that whiny SOB Israel would shut up right quick if he knew bald face lying could mean pistols at 20 paces.

Me too !!

Call me crazy - but this pathetic attempt to distract the public is based on such a blatant lie that the dimocrats have completely exposed themselves as congenital liars. And if they will lie about one thing they will lie about everything.

Right now their “pile-on” strategy reveals them as sock-puppets who merely mouth what the ventiloquist speaks. Wonder who the real ventriloquist for all these dimocrats is?

If we do not make a big noise NOW

Its a little late for noise.

Soldiers are fighting the war at abroad, the enemy within operates freely and without fear of reprisal.

Few may realize it yet, but the time for talking with the left is near over.

He finally went to Walter Reed? Rush was there a long time ago. Has he been to Afghanistan yet? I don't know, but I'll tell you this.

I'll bet he hasn't donated anywhere near the money to the troops Rush has.

I challenge you, Rep. Israel, to match Limbaugh's donations over the past few years to the troops.
