I think the DOD cannot back down right away, they have to appear tough and all. But I don't think anyone is going to back down this time, and the pressure is on from female vets

The embarrassing thing to me is--that this ignorant and insulting radio show is being broadcast overseas, so many people hear this trash and associate it with Americans. So the whole world gets to hear one of the worst examples of an American, and I am sure he inspires hatred of us. My point is that --one would think--that someone inciting hatred (and ultimately violence) would be a --security risk-- right?

Rush and other hate radio personalities were enabled under Bush administration because their sick agenda used these broadcasts, along with fundamentalist and ignorant personalities, to encourage blind allegiance to the neocon Republican party. Unraveling this abuse of the airwaves is a vital step to a truthful and representative media. This may very well open the door to demand the FCC return the Fairness Doctrine.
