I could agree more with your sentiments if cable were Ala Carte, unfortunately Uncle Joe Mar 2012 #4

I agree that the public airways are different and that what the troops get is different karynnj Mar 2012 #6

Limbaugh didn't donate $1M to Obama. Maher DID. Maybe cut him some slack? n/t godai Mar 2012 #7

And? Libertarian misogynists should be barred from donating to party and president of their Luminous Animal Mar 2012 #9

Maher's donation was a good thing. godai Mar 2012 #11

So what? I'm sure Limbaugh has donated much more to women hating Republicans. democrat_patriot Mar 2012 #10

Yes, Maher rocks. The donation was a GOOD thing. n/t godai Mar 2012 #13

Definitely a big difference: Limbaugh uses public airwaves ProfessionalLeftist Mar 2012 #8

Unless you're a libertarian, he's not your "we" nt Union Scribe Mar 2012 #30

Why does he need to be "as bad as" Limbaugh to be condemned? Union Scribe Mar 2012 #29

Also that Maher punches through to truths like all great comediens. Rush smears and misleads his applegrove Mar 2012 #24

Clarification please. GeorgeGist Mar 2012 #25

Has Maher lied about the statements of a young person like Sandra Fluke? JDPriestly Mar 2012 #27

Maher is a scumbag who lies all the time CrawlingChaos Mar 2012 #31

I support Israel, so maybe that is why Maher does not offend me. JDPriestly Mar 2012 #39

You're not offended by degrading racist stereotypes? CrawlingChaos Mar 2012 #40

The problem with Limbaugh is not that he jokes about women. JDPriestly Mar 2012 #41
