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:

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?
-
Fluke was a private citizen until she accepted Nancy Pelosi's invitiation to sit her ass down in front of Congress and open her yap.
-
The Koch brothers are private citizens and have been attacked by the left and even Obama himself.
-
Yes
Intertubeweb petitions are sooo trustworthy.
-
They are still bitter about this? :mental:

I do so love the Liberal online petition! Joey Goebbels is going to sign up for it right away.

But he is a white conservative man, he doesn't count as a victim.

This is one on the Whitemosque.gov website. People do look at these petitions, at least a little more than the typical ones.

from the way she testified before congress, it sounds like she opened up alot more than her yap during her college years....
-
Didn't Fluke purposefully choose a Catholic university so she could practice her brand of Marxist activism? She has gotten exactly what she asked for.

I dunno. If their intent was to hurt his ex advertisers, it's a smashing success. It looks like money talks and bullshit boycotts are just that, BS.

Oh! I went to FR and looked for this article, here are charts of Rushs advertisers :lmao:

Liberty owns Pro-Flowers.
And the best comment I read there?
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.

I wonder how much easier it would be for Alinskyite law students to afford their contraception if gas prices were back to pre-0bama prices?

Drudge has the story on his page! :lmao:

What do you DUers think about old Al?
LINK (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/the-left-calls-for-limbaughs-job-but-what-about-maher-schultz-and-sharpton/)
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.â€
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.

Unfortunately, Al's people went back to living in mud huts after civilization began in earnest. They would still be there if it weren't for Europeans.

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
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.

Leftists turning on Bill Maher at Twitter :popcorn:
you are wrong about #RushLimbaugh nopology. If you think it was sincere, you should re-evaluate you observation.
i literally can't say anything more than "f**k you" because you are LITERALLY DEFENDING RUSH LIMBAUGH. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
yo. hey. dude. bro. f**k you.
I didn't know that Rush had called you a slut and a prostitute. It was mighty magnanimous of you to accept his apology.
also holy s**t lol you are dumb as hell
Wouldn't want your buddy Obama to have to return that hefty campaign contribution either, huh? @billmaher Not buying it.
And suddenly my love and respect for @billmaher has dropped... *sadness*
you've got to be f**king kidding?@billmaher
You f**ked up protecting Rush. What kind of Dem are you? A bitch

See, those comments that Bally posted reveal the true you DUmmies. You are all a laughing stock.

The difference between them and us, when Bill made his horrible comments after 9/11? Bill said the left turned on him but people like Rush and Hannity defended Bills right to make those comments.
-
The definition of a conservative ? A liberal who gets mugged. Maybe Maher will be mugged thoroughly enough to see the liberal side as being more detestable than he may have ever realized.
-
:lmao: their stock plummeted?
Rush said today an advertiser was almost begging to be put back on! He mentioned the stock market, so I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it's Carbonite!

Let 'em grovel some more. Let their stock price drop 25% more.

And double their previous rate to advertise. :) That would blow the DUmmies minds if Rush's show made more money from their boycott.
-
I'm not sure it was Carbonite, because I heard a commercial for them today. Rush said he was "being very careful" concerning the begging sponsor.

Whoever it is, then--let 'em grovel some more, and double their ad rates.

We have a lib on my netfriction forum who thinks his lib buddies have El Rushbo on the run financially. They are foaming at the mouth. Pavlovian instincts are being uncovered.

QUESTION: Why did Bill Maher stand up for Rush??
ANSWER: Because he had a million reasons, all ending in Obama's stash...

Why the large donation to the obozo superPAC? Maybe he wants to get one of those cushy jobs a large percentage of obozo's fundraisers received after his "entertainment" career tanks.
