Only name, email, and zip code are required to leave a comment. I have a nice Yahoo email account that I use as an online throwdown registration account for just this sort of occasion.

Here's the comment I left

Rush Limbaugh is entitled to his opinion without interference from the Government. If Mr. Obama wants to implement a marxist/socialist/collectivist/leftist agenda, then I agree with Rush, I hope he fails, too.

Rush will just become more popular, more famous, more powerful.

You Nailed it.

The zero tried to do this on the campaign with Hannity (Following Saul Alinsky's rule 13 about making it personal). Now he is going after El Rushbo, talk about stupid. He will now have every single Conservative Radio host gunning for him. Bennet, Hannity, Beck,Levin, Williams, Ingraham, the saying used to be don't tick off people that buy ink by the barrel, what about people that control air time by the hour. People are going to start listening just to hear what they have to say and get converted.

Rush is like the little boy who cried out “The emperor has no clothes.”
Now the crowd wants to hang him for stating the obvious.

One thing that is apparent, the Dihms could dish it out in their hatred of Bush, but can't take it when one of their own gets the same treatment. What losers.

Good for you! It is very important for us to send the message now...before we are under the gun of an election. I watched Olympia Snowe vote against every single republican tax measure ammendment in the Senate Finance Committe yesterday on CSPAN! That woman has got to go!!

What a bunch of phonies. They somehow consider monetary disbursements to foreign abortion providers “freedom of speech”, but when an outspoken radio host roots for their democratic leader to fail in his socialistic agenda, that’s no longer freedom of speech - he needs to be silenced.

I left one nasty comment, but the thing that concerns me, is that the dems will remove my obvious comments of support for Rush and just use my name to make it look like I support them.

Sigh....

Ironic that these hypocrites had no problem declaring George Bush’s policies dead on arrival, failures and moronic. Let’s see some archive footage of these same members of Congress bad mouthing Bush over the last 8 years. Obviously they believe the First Amendment does not apply to private citizens who choose to disagree with the president.

2. “ZOMG RUSH MUST BE STOPPED!!!1`! DON’T LISTEN TO HIM!”
3. Profit...?

Maybe it’s time that we go forward with a petition demanding that Obama produce a valid birth certificate.

Gee, they had no problem with all the Bush haters who wished for his failure. Freedom of Speech is such a pesky thing, ain’t it?

1.O’s a failure, period.
2. I suppose they all also wanted Madoff to “succeed” in his schemings and con’ing.

3. Democrates playing the victim card and looks card. That’s racist and cowardly.

4. They’re all wussies. They want O to succeed at America’s expense.

5. Typical Democrates, they cannot find solutions for their own Messiah, so they have to blame and figure imaginary obstacles.

6. They cannot take criticism and punishment. They can only whine and ask for our billions.

7. all the above

So long as you sign the petition signifying that you are in agreement with them they do not care what comment you leave.

If you signed the petition that makes you, in effect, another obama supporter.

If you sign the petition, you are not supporting Rush. You are supporting obama.

I don’t agree. They wouldn’t dare brag about how many signatures they have when everyone knows (and Rush knows) they are all Rush supporters.

You nailed it. As far as the Democrats are concerned you are just another obama supporter condeming Rush.
