Patch's Poll: Should Rush Limbaugh Be Fired?
The talk radio host's attack on a young woman over birth control has created a firestorm. What do you think?

On Sunday, The Washington Post asked if conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has had his "Imus moment." The backlash continues to grow against Limbaugh in the wake of his attack on Georgetown student Sandra Fluke, who spoke at a Democratic panel in support of insurance coverage for birth-control costs.
On his show, Limbaugh called her a slut and a prostitute and encouraged her to post videos of herself having sex so so we can see what were getting for our money.
Since then, a number of advertisers have dropped Limbaugh's show, he issued a statement saying his choice of words was not the best and that he was attempting to be humorous.
What do you think? Should Limbaugh be fired? Should his advertisers be boycotted? Take our poll and add your thoughts in the comments.

(3,373 posts)in that Rush works for himself. Right? He is EIB. So he'd fire himself?
Anyway, I agree with the sentiment that he should be fired, and I will vote on the poll accordingly, but I don't think that it will happen.
