Dem Rep: Maher can stay on the air, but Rush can't

Rep. Shelley Berkely, D-Nev., has led a push to get Rush Limbaugh pulled off the air, but she doesnn't believe that Bill Maher needs to face the same pressure because Maher is less important to Democrats.

"There’s a big difference between what is being said by Bill Maher and his humor, although I don’t find that funny, and what Rush Limbaugh does, who pretty much calls the shots in the Republican Party," Berkely, who is running for Senate, said in the Las Vegas Sun. Maher has donated $1 million to President Obama's superPAC.

She maintained that her petition drive calling for Clear Channel to pull Limbaugh's show "has nothing to do with the First Amendment" and everything to do with defending women from demeaning remarks. "I am merely asking Clear Channel to make a business decision to get somebody who uses and abuses the public airwaves off the airwaves," Berkley said. "We need to stand up for ourselves as women around this country."

A United States Congresswoman calling for cancelling the first amendment.

Americans yawn.

The MSM ignores.

These Marxists pervade the democrat party. They have been emboldened by the election of the Kenyan Marxist and now openly flaunt their disrespect for this nation and its laws. Unless they are removed in November there will be no subsequent peaceful chance.

I wish more voters actually paid attention to what their CongressCritters said, but alas, I think most of them don’t have a clue.

If that were my congresscritter I’d be reaching for the Pepto Bismol & Tums and I’d lose fifty pounds by looking at that awful face every time I felt hungry.

Anyway, this woperson advocates raw fascism, pure & simple.

“How, HOW, do these idiots get elected, and keep the office???”

And why are they all ugly as sin AND corrupt?

The biggest difference between Rush Limbaugh and Bill Mahr is that Rush is an entertainer, and Mahr claims to be an entertainer. Personally, I don't see it.

If you use mapquest to get to a street level address, the USPS website will give you the plus-four code.

I actually know how to fight stuff like this. Have a hearing and subpoena the shrillest of those making this claim. Put them in the spotlight and entrap them with perjury. Throw the book at them and grind these examples into paste, legally.

Rinse. Repeat.

We would eventually run out of goofs willing to publicly claim this nonsense, if only our representatives were willing to do their job.

If Rush were calling the shots in the repub party, does anyone really think we'd have Mittens Romney leading in the primaries and most likely our candidate?

I was going to comment on this very thing. If Rush ran the repub party people would surely be more likely to vote for a true conservative!
