REMOVE RUSH LIMBAUGH FROM ARMED FORCES RADIO!
 To quote Ed Schultz: "If you want to follow the Limbaugh and the Becks of the world, and you want to turn your back on firefighters, turn your back on police officers, turn your back on nurses, turn your back on brothers and sisters who have stood in solidarity to fight for the middle class in America? Is that wrapping yourself in the flag?"

It's imperative we get this insidious, demoralizing speech which is UNEQUOVICALLY UNPATRIOTIC removed from American Forces Radio and Television Service (formerly known as Armed Forces Radio). We, the taxpayers, demand that our taxes not fund unpatriotic hate speech any longer.

Please sign and share THIS PETITION to show that you stand with firefighters, police officers, teachers, nurses and other public sector workers -- indeed all hard-working Americans -- who do their jobs well, jobs which contribute to our society on a daily basis, and oppose media personalities with no moral integrity whose goal is to sow seeds of hatred between American citizens via lies and distortion.

IT'S TIME FOR THIS FALSE PATRIOT, WHO REGULARLY INSULTS and/or VERBALLY ATTACKS OTHER AMERICANS -- INCLUDING TROOPS AND NOW FIRST RESPONDERS -- BE REMOVED FROM ARMED FORCES TELEVISION AND RADIO BROADCASTS!

The DUmmies are well on their way to shutting Rush down, with another of their powerful internet petitions. Is Mr. Rection in the house? If so, he may want to visit http://www.change.org/petitions/remove-rush-limbaugh-from-armed-forces-radio

The Petitions never end.
Was that an observation or a threat?

Who's using the name Chris P Bacon? it won't let me use it! :argh:

Oh and another e-mail sent to Rush alerting him. I really wish Rush would mention DU, can you imagine almost 20 million people converging on that site?

Armed Forces Radio and TV isn't there for the taxpayers. It's there for the people that are putting their lives on the line for the taxpayers.  Those in the military should be the only ones to have a say in what is broadcast.

21. They can start their own petition if they disagree...
   
Because it's taxpayer money that funds it, and because by all definitions he specifically engages in hate speech, I want him removed from taxpayer-funded broadcasts. :)

22. Shortsighted at best...
   
1) It is not hate speech by all definitions. Logic fail.

2) Let's say your "internet petition" is successful and you get Rush's program removed for content you find to be naughty. There is a slippery slope there and everything on TV is offensive to someone. Eventually they will get to something you like.

3) Soldiers should have the first, last and final say. If you feel strongly about this issue I encourage you to visit your local recruiter office and try for a post in USAREUR.

23. I understand many at DU and elsewhere disagree with petitions and boycotts...
   
of all kinds. I hear your argument about this specific petition.

I respect your opinion but simply disagree.

As usual, when it comes to Limbaugh, who is essentially the titular head of the Republican Party, such an effort as this won't gain traction. Both liberals and conservatives are against such an action, by and large.

But it's my right to try, and as a taxpayer I feel entitled to speak up about this since I feel he, specifically, is very influential in a very harmful way to our country.

:hi:

29. Your post is the very image of shortsided.
   
Soldiers should have no more say over who they listen to on the radio than where to aim their ordinance.

Limbaugh would probably be best characterized as pure misinformation rather than hate. We civilians will decide every word that goes into the ears of OUR military. The military decides NOTHING without the consent of the civilian government.

In case you weren't up on current events the 13th Amendment is still in place.

I was thinking of having some egg whites and veggies for breakfast. Should I get your "consent" direct for that decision or is there a PO box or something where I can submit my request?

edit: still early

This has toast. Rush is legs!
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Not in a direct reference. Just something like, if you're a moonbat who posts/reads Kos, huffington and puffington, DU or other left wing site. Just a mention. That was it.
