Sign the petition for the FCC to investigate Limbaugh... and there's one for Bill Maher?!?!?

Here's the link to request the FCC investigate Limbaugh's use of public airwaves:

http://wh.gov/9XY

And there's one for Bill Maher too. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Maher on paid-for cable programming? Not AM/FM radio stations? Do people not really know what the difference is?

The only difference is that you think it's FUNNY when Maher does it.

"We'll trade them a lowly, obscure, liberal nobody for a conservative top dog."

Typical liberal idea of a fair and balanced "compromise".

24. There is a huge difference betwen Rush and Maher

View profile
Yes, Maher has said sexist things. So has Jon Stewart. So has Randi Roads.

Difference is, Maher called out a public person, running for office, noted for her stupidity.

Limbaugh called out a private person and flat out said she was a slut for wanting birth control.

Big differnce.

Joe the plumber was a public person deserving of being pounced on and investigated by the left?

They should have remembered that people on welfare and food stamps who need free contraception and need the government to take care of them do not buy stocks. They don’t even buy many products if they aren’t supplied by the nanny state.

What do you DUers think about old Al?

This is the same Al Sharpton who has a history of making offensive and insensitive statements and yet was still hired by MSNBC.  In 1994, Sharpton was speaking at Kean College and said:

“White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

Sharpton is on tape calling Mayor Dinkins the “n-word,” he has also made comments about Asians and whites. And yet, his broadcasting career is untouched by any of these statements.

Uh Oh! Bill Maher defends Rush

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/03/06/maher-defends-limbaugh-twitter-he-apologized-liberals-looking-bad-not
Quote
Here's something you probably thought you'd never see.

Vulgarian Bill Maher Tuesday actually came out on Twitter in defense of - wait for it! - conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh:

Bill Maher @billmaher

Hate to defend #RushLimbaugh but he apologized, liberals looking bad not accepting. Also hate intimidation by sponsor pullout


So, why do you think he did this?

In the wake of the Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke controversy, Maher's coming under a lot of pressure from conservative groups for his vulgar attacks on women.

Despite his claim Friday that he's different from Limbaugh because he doesn't have any sponsors, he knows this is nonsense.

HBO makes money from subscriptions, and it's far easier for such patrons to directly make their negative opinions known to a company than in a traditional boycott. You call up your cable provider and drop the channel. Simple.

As such, one gets the feeling there may have been a lot of that lately in response to advertisers dropping Rush.

Just as Limbaugh likely started getting pressure from stations and his advisers before his apology Saturday, you can bet Maher has been told by people inside HBO and business managers that he needs to put his finger in this dike before it explodes all over him.

Maher's probably beginning to realize that if Limbaugh continues to lose sponsors and stations, he'll come under even more pressure which could force HBO to dump him.

Take it from someone that watches Maher almost every time he's on television - this man hates Rush Limbaugh. He'd only be defending him to prevent financial loss. Period!

And, if this tweet doesn't stop the bleeding, there might be something more closely resembling a real mea culpa in the days to come.

Stay tuned.
