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.

Obama is pushing us toward Civil War. Get ready, people. I warned a liberal friend I know that he, as an Obama supporter, was in essence pushing our society toward Civil War and shocked the hell out of him. He backed off his heated defense of Sandra Fluke.

I told him Obama and he, too, by extension, were trying to violate the First Amendment to the Constitution by forcing people to provide contraceptives and abortifacients. He backtracked from the claim that he was only supporting access. I also told him Obama had doubled our national debt? “He did not.” I replied that he’d better take a look at the facts. The discussion ended abruptly.

Why not both? Hannity and Levin are on both radio and Sirius.

Maybe conservatives should demand the DOD silence libs - permanently.

But people like Bill Maher, Ed Shultz, Mike Malloy, and all those other Leftist hate jocks are all okay to spew their hate.

There were rumblings that, in a second term, Obama would be circumventing Congress and the Constitution making more “administrative rules” that could silence radio shows and even edit content of all news shows including the major ones who support him. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Far as I’m concerned, they take Rush off the air, and CW2 is on.

I’m beginning to believe that some are really afraid that they’re about to have their a** handed to them in an election that will finally put the brakes on their “progress.”

Yep, we see the true colors of these companies. I don’t need their crap and wouldn’t miss them one bit.

So much for that whole free speech thing I read about somewhere. Oh, and so much for being tolerant and accepting/celebrating diversity. Guess those things only apply when it is the left forcing us to be "tolerant" of something we don't like. The moment they hear something they don't like... Well, then all that messy freedom and liberty stuff goes out the window and they are revealed as the little fascists they really are.

I’ve been re-reading “Atlas Shrugged.” Looks like the current vermin in the administration are using it for a plan of action. It’s simply astounding; words fail me.

Personally, about the Civil War thing ....I’m ready.

I can’t stand to live among these people anymore. I really can’t. I just don’t want to live out my days dealing with their insanity, day after day. The thought of heading into my autumn years living in a Red vs. Blue society has been depressing me for the last three years. Everyday I think about it and I’m not sure how the hell I keep motivated sometimes.

We already have two societies anyway. Why not just make it official.

And none of that makes a damn bit of difference. All the general public will hear is Rush admitted he was wrong.

And what’s more...NOBODY knows that better than Rush!

So once again, the right to free speech is only for the liberals. What a bunch of losers.

I’m not too concerned with these “Furious Democrat activists”. While they are running around pulling their crap, the people who they are seriously pissing off are getting ready for the day the SHTF. Then there will be no place to run to. No place to hide. AND NO MERCY.

“It will simply drive Rush to sattilite radio.”

And that will be as big a win for the crazy left, as driving Glen BEck off TV was.

NO DISSENT WILL BE TOLERATED BY THE FASCIST LEFT!
