This is not a first admendment issue. That only protects people from government independance. No one from the U.S. government has attemped to stop Rush from speaking his mind. He can talk about anything he wants. This is just people that don’t want to do business with him at this time. You are allowed to not do business with someone that you don’t like, as these businesses are doing. This is just the free market at work.

Whatever Obama wants for the country....he needs to be dictator.
He said that in front of a Latino group.

Dissenters w/ Sebelius and Obama....off with your head!

Off with your talk show!

It’s a short step til killing us all in our sleep.

Yes, there is no dissent with the dictator.

His word is God.

Now let us kill the dissenters. Put them in work prison.

And poison all their children.

Kill them all.

Incorrect. Carl Levin wants him off the military band and some doosh democrat Rep has a petition going to get rid of him.

“No one from the U.S. government has attemped to stop Rush from speaking his mind.”

Well it isnt the govt doing it officially. The organizations pushing it are the same ones controlled by BO and the left.

How about the president telling the Republicans during one of their first meetings that they shouldn’t listen to Rush Limbaugh because “that’s not the way we do business here”. How about the president pointing out FOX by name and saying they were not a real news station. I could go on.......

Exactly... Just like the Dixie Chicks pissed off their primary audience, and their sales plummeted. Of course, in this case, Rush managed to piss off the people who DO NOT listen to his show or his advertisers. So the advertisers who left are abandoning some 20 million possible customers a week, for people who don't listen the the advertisements anyway!

[spookie]

you are missing the critical issue. It is liberals wanting to shut down conversative talk radio by threating those who advertise on their show. Without advertisement no radio show will exist.

[Kickass Conservative]

If I can sum up your naivete, it is well, inspiring.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

That’s right. They don’t have to do business with Rush, and I don’t have to do business with them.

Of course, I wonder how involved Media Matters is in all this.
