Democrats want to silence Rush

http://dccc.org/pages/denounce-rush

Check this site out.  The Democrat party wants the Republicans to denounce Rush Limbaugh for his recent comments about women who want free birth control to "make a sex video."  The vitriol coming from the left over this comment is nothing but amazing.  They are demonizing Rush, on top of calling him a fat drug addict.  Funny.  Kudos to Rush.  If you ever actually listen to him, you can probably realize that Rush uses satire all the time.  Remember SATIRE.  It has been used in political debates at least as far back as the mid-19th century.  I remember reading a short story in high school. published in London, about how to cook and eat humans; Irish humans.  It wasn't a call to slaughter and devour the Irish people.  It was a satirical attack against the British oppression in Northern Ireland.  Rush has based the majority of his show on satire.  Why?  Because it's funny and entertaining.  Besides, when people are offended, it sparks publicity and debate over the real issue.  So lets stop getting distracted by this and talk about the real issues, like public financed abortions and contraceptives being described by Obama as "preventative care."

But I can't let this go by without a simple comparison.  Michael Moore basically accused President George W. Bush as being responsible for the attacks on 9/11.  He insinuated that he didn't care that we were attacked and that he was possibly criminally responsible.  This was not denounced by the Democrats.  Instead, Mr. Moore was given the prized seat at the Kerry acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004...this was the seat next to Kerry's wife.

So, it seems there is a double standard.  Strange.  Oh, wait a minute.  That's right.  There always has been a double standard.  The Democrats can say and do whatever they want without repercussions from the left wing media but should someone on the right make a satirical comment, and he is demonized to the point that the Democratic party distributes a petition to have the Republicans denounce Rush. This is simply an attempt to silence Rush, especially during this election.  They are afraid of Rush.  And they should be.  They should be VERY afraid because his core audience doesn't care what the Republican party does about him.  Therefore, it won't get him off the airwaves and he will continue what he has done for twenty plus years; provide political commentary.  And his commentary has a much larger impact on conservatives in general than on the Republican party itself.

Finally, the comment about him being a "fat drug addicted a**hole" is typical of the liberals misinformation, let alone the nastiness of the liberals in general.  First, Rush is far from being fat.  He lost an incredible amount of weight and looks healthy.  As for the drugs, that is something that he dealt with, in full view of the public.  He is no longer addicted to the pain killers that he took to help with his back pain.  What about Obama?  Rush at least was using drugs prescribed by a doctor.  Obama's cocaine use never involved doctors, but instead involved dangerous street dealers and gang members.  And I know that the liberals will point out that was many years ago.  Well, so was Rush's drug problem.  Maybe not as many years ago as Obama's, but Rush isn't President is he.
