Furious liberals demand FCC silence Limbaugh

Furious Democrat activists are working to silence Rush Limbaugh for good, calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to pull his radio show off the air.

An activist on signon.org is collecting signatures in support of a petition to FCC to, "remove Mr. Limbaugh from the radio as he has violated FCC rules and regulations countless times. The most recent incident being his assault on women and his degradation of Sandra Fluke." The petition is circulating on Facebook and Twitter and on Democrat message boards.

Signon.org is an online service provided by MoveOn.org and has already gathered over 6,000 supporters. The petition organizer, "T. Turner," has promised to print off and send the petition to the FCC on March 7th, and is looking to get over 10,000 signatures.

The petition currently hosts thousands of angry comments - riddled with spelling errors - including people who insist that Limbaugh no longer has the right to free speech.

It will simply drive Rush to sattilite radio.

Prediction: Limbaugh will remain on the air. One year from now, no one will be discussing it. Rush is entitled to his opinions.

Under any normal circumstances the FCC would just laugh this off. Lefties get much more foul mouthed on the air and nobody cares. But today is not normal, and it would be morbidly fascinating to see that august body try to ban Rush.

All this “controversy” is only benefiting Rush. More people will be tuning in and increasing his ratings.

They have got to get the attention off the RAT admin & Congress critters given the misery they have caused. and the MSM will support them all the way. Watch soon for Holder to proclaim an investigation is underway. He needs the attention of his F&F stuff as well.

It’s all about managing the message and the news that gets out.

They’ve pushed to CENSOR Rush for a couple decades now.

A chill wind blows. The same crowd that defended traitors, antisemites, and those calling for Bush’s murder want to silence a conservative talk show host in an election year.

Wonder when they’ll spin the wheel and start gunning for Hannity, Beck, Bennett, et al yet again.

Saul Alinsky shenanigans and nothing but.

They’re desperate to get Rush off the air. He’s interfering with their Marxist takeover.

The Chicago political mob is in charge these days, so I know your comment is sarcasm.

They’ve got to get him off the air before it comes out that she may not even take or need birth control meds herself.

It was a phony “testimony”, it was a press conference from a long time activist. She wasn’t even sworn in to tell the truth!
