“ My dream is that Rush gets forced off the air and Savage takes his place. ”

“ The author of the news brief is probably not as intelligent as Rush Limbaugh as evidenced by his failure to note that R.B. inorder to make a point, he allowed for the possibility that Paterson has the authority to name a replacement to fill Massa's vacant seat. The author is furthermore deemed stupid by falling into a trap that RB frequently uses to enrage liberals and thus gain notoriety for himself that translates into increased attention and money. He's laughing all the way to the bank and we (millions upon millions of regular Americans) cheer him on all the way. By the way, one of RB's longest serving and closest associates on the show is a black man and only someone trying to take a cheap pot-shot would assume that RB would insult his colleague by employing some crass racist comment. I wish to G-d there was a Rush Limbaugh on the airwaves in Eretz Yisroel. ”

“ Wow... I couldn't agree more. Put him on with Joe Scarborough and Chris Wallace and we might actually start to see some honesty return to the political debate. ”

“ Get off his case. Listen to what he said in context. Stop with this racist nonsense. Rush is not racist - period! ”

“ So you accept his frequent lies, and that he exists not to inform people or provide news, but to say ANYTHING to get more listeners and make more money? I get that he is pro-Israel, but he lies so often and never apologizes when caught. He is not respectable or intelligent. He is an uneducated man who was the protege of "Morton Downy Jr." (and took his place when he retired). MD Jr. was a repulsive vulgar man who used the same kind of tactics to fool stupid people into listening to him. His TV show would frequently feature fist fights and include members of the KKK, etc... ANYTHING for shock value. Limbaugh has 100% followed in his footsteps in perfecting "infotainment". Truth is not required (to his credit, Rush does not claim to be a journalist or adhere to any journalistic standards of truth). All that matters is that the words keep people listening. 2 days ago, Rush Limbaugh vowed to make a “national story” out of Massa’s claims that Dems orchestrated his downfall for voting no on health care reform. It was nearly his whole day's story! He didn't care if it was true. He could say the right words and make the ignorant masses keep listening... sad that Jews fall for it. ”

“ It would be nice if people thought before they commented.

1. Rush Limbaugh has his own line of ties.

2.A Congressman is not a Senator. A Senator represents the population of an entire State while a Congressman represents the population of a District. There is no comparison between the two when it comes to special elections or replacements. It might make sense for a Govenor, who represents the population of the entire State to appoint a successor to a Senator. That doesn't mean that it makes sense that he do so for a Congressman since the Govenor does not havethe sole interests of that District in mind.

3. While it is true that the article states that Rush doesn't know the rules for succession and the transcript clearly shows that he didn't agree with the caller in that regard, that's not the point. The point is that he used a slur that we would all be screaming about if he used an analogous one about Jews. I'm about as conservative as they come, yet, I can't dismiss this issue just because Rush was the one who said it. If this was a story about Al Franken saying the exact same words, we would be falling over each other in our attempts to lambaste him.

Wake up people,

A little intelligence, please. ”

“ I would love to see Rush tear Scarborough and Wallace apart. However, Rush is no a true conservative. He still believes that loser Bush is wonderful.

Savage should debate these guys. He'd pulverize them in a minute. ”
