Rush Limbaugh: Apologize

Rush Limbaugh: Apologize

Target:
Rush Limbaugh
Sponsored by: 
On the very day that Americans of all backgrounds were coming together to celebrate President Obama's inauguration and begin the hard work of rebuilding our nation, Rush Limbaugh proved once and for all that rather than the patriot he claims to be, he is nothing but a cynical windbag.

Before inaugural ceremonies had finished, Limbaugh made his wishes for the new administration clear with four words: "I hope he fails."

Rush, we've had enough of you and your whining. By wishing that Obama will fail, you are wishing that America will fail. You are saying that you would rather see more people suffer, more families lose health insurance, and more people lose their homes to the failed economic policies of your own political party.

So if you don't want to be part of the solution, fine. But you owe the American people an apology, and once you say you're sorry, you should go home and move out of the way for the rest of us who are committed to helping President Obama and America succeed.

To Rush Limbaugh:

We are deeply disturbed by your broadcast wish to see President Obama fail in his new job as commander-in-chief and leader of the United States of America.

By wishing that Obama will fail, you are wishing that America will fail. You are saying that you would rather see more people suffer, more families lose health insurance, more children live in poverty, and more people lose their homes to the failed economic policies of your own political party.

We believe you owe the American people an apology.

The Double Standard Player strikes yet. Using the media format to vent his and the GOP's point of views to promote an agenda filled with fear, and hate is the standard from the Propaganda" playbook. Inciting his drones to do his bidding on a daily basis these Ditto Heads storm the Walls of Democracy and trample those who would get in the way. Freedom of speech means Rush's words and his agenda, anything else wouldn't be acceptable. Yet he's allowed to speak his piece and those he supports due to the very same thing he's trampling on every day, Freedom of Speech. Clear Channel the Media Company continues to support, and promotes Rush's type of broadcasting. One reason is that Clear channel believes what spews out of Rush's mouth because it makes Clear Channel MONEY! Two Clear Channel's sponsors belive in Rush's P.O.V. and that makes C.C lots of MONEY. Rush is nothing more than a money making propaganda machine, nothing more, nothing less. What can be done? 1) Boycott sponsors of his show 2) Boycott sponsors of the Media Outlet that promotes his show. T.V., Radio, Book Publishers, ect. Speak to Clear Channel and other Rush sponsors and promoters in a language they'll understand, MONEY. Once the profit margin starts to go down then these companies will start to listen. If they don't the next thing they'll be hearing especially in todays economy will be the sound of the doors of their business being shut behind them and locked.

Rush Limbaugh - American Traitor! I want Obama to fail = I want this country to fail = I want anyone who is not a big, fat, rich jerk like myself to fail = I want the poor and middle class to fail.

If it weren't for fearmongering and hate, you wouldn't have anything to say. It is painfully clear that you not only lack good taste, but even the most rudimentary sense of honour. What has gone so fundamentally wrong in your life that you feel no sense of shame over the sheer filth that pours out of your mouth day in and day out? If you were capable of even caring...about anything...then you would apologize for your coarse rantings and retire at once.

Amazing how the Pig Man still is on THE PUBLIC AIR WAVES, after all the garbage he has spewed. Meanwhile responsible and INTELLIGENT talk shows like Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Neil Rogers, etc., are stuck on handfuls of stations. SCREW Crap Channel for continuing to air this trash propaganda for the Nazi Reich Wing!!! BOYCOTT oxyRU$Hitler's sponsors!!!!!!! http://Lu666Cifer.blogspot.com

You, are devisive and demonic in thought patterns. You don't care about America, just your own egotistical self. But, you will not succeed, just as you did not succeed in trying to stop President Obama's election. Just because you have 20 million listeners does not make you able to control anything that President Obama wishes to do. If your listeners are anything like you, the majority of Americans have spoken, through the ballot, that we do not care about you or your listeners.

Rush Limbaugh makes an outrageous sum of money getting ignorant people riled up about a lot of misinformation. He is a drug addict and a disgusting person in every way. He is living proof that large sums of money make a person fat, ugly, corrupt, and willing to whore their lives away in that he will say anything to keep people listening. America...it is time to say goodbye to these types of poisonous people and start working together to save our country. Mr. Limbaugh is not about America, he is about lining his personal pocket at the expense of his ignorant listeners.

Rush Limbaugh is a Windbag, but what’s wrong with the Government here; letting him continue in his own show. His show should be shut down and he should be made to apologise.. A Person like him doesn’t even deserve Free Speech. We Will All Distribute This Page to Big Media and Start Letting those “Useless Talking Heads on TV News” know what’s really worth reporting to the world… He’s an idiot. A useless waste of space on this planet.

What I would like to know who are the sponsors of the Rush Limbaugh Show. Rush Limbaugh is a punitive entertainer. He is total ignorant of economic issues....... I'm going to start a campaign to boycott these companies thats paying him 400 million dollars to showcase how to be ignorant.

We live in probably the most precarious and dangerous time in our nation's history. There is an old saying "Don't go away mad, just go away." I would like to see Mr. Limbaugh take his lying drug-addicted self and his poison somewhere else. Period.

I'm signing this petition to show my support for Rush Limbaugh's 1st Amendment rights. Like him or loathe him, he has a right to say or believe anything he wishes. Bottom line, I want AMERICA to succeed; I want the current socialist machine to fail.

If Limbaugh made that statement all I can say is" Why is he still on the air?" I realize that guys like he make a lot of money catering to less enlightend Americans. He tells them what he thinks they want to hear.

RL is growing rich off of sensationalizing. He is nothing more than a rehabilitating drug addict that seems to be as patriotic as he is law abiding: when it suits him and his agenda, i.e. when convenient.

Americans are tired of this kind of divisive unproductive rhetoric, it's time to move past Rush and funny thing is I used to be a registered Republican, but now we need President Obama to succeed more than ever. Enough is enough.

I think Rush Limbaugh is a blowhard pig. Way back (way, way back) when I was a fist-pounding Republican, I thought he was a blowhard pig. Can't he be arrested for his comments against our president? Can't someone just shut him up?

I am sick of this hateful and distructive force in our country. Rush sells hate in the public square and so undermines the sprit and unity of this country in time of war and economic crisis. He does this for personal profit...This is treasonous. Radio networks make money too and the sponsors/advertisers make it all possible. Sure Rush has a right to speak, but the country does not have to like it and we can communicate this by protesting to stations and program sponsors and advertisers at the national and local level.

I am a Canadian, and I know that most right wing talking heads look down on Canada as a "Commie Pinko Canuckistan". Well, we don't care what they think, and most Canadians are pleased that the new President is a level headed realist that actually cares about America and it's citizens. Fifty years from now, school children will learn about Barack Obama, and Rush Limbaugh will not merit the consideration of even a Google search.

Best you thank our Consitution for its freedom of speech or you would surely be tried for treason. Although, I think what you do is beyond freedom of speech, much more like trying to create a mutany and you know what they do to mutiniers !!!

Ok really? Obama won; get over it already...we finally have a chance to restore change and a better way of life. Bush and McCain followers are being sore losers. We have an opportunity to build a our economy back up; a change built on the pursuit of happiness; not on greed or power; which we had with Bush for the last 8 years; it is time for the corrupt cronies of Bush to go away.

He's against the middle class and America, he only cares about himself. He has little education and a very poor personal code of ethics. From his drug use to his not serving his counrty in Vietnam he's hardly in a position to comment on anything or anybody. Hoping Obama fails is hoping America fails he should be charged with treason.

Regrettably, I owe Rush an apology. I just downloaded the transcript of what he actually said, and realize that he was unjustly taken out of context. Obviously he disagrees with the Obama administration's actions and my views, however I now see what he meant by wanting them to fail. I guess I was to busy drinking my kool-aid. I suggest the rest of you read it as well.
