18. BS. There's no equivalence.

Schultz was suspended, and he apologized. Limbaugh has been serving up a continuous stream of misogyny (among other vile things) for years.

And his so-called 'apology' was anything but, as it repeated the same vile slurs and falsehoods about Fluke's testimony for which he should have been apologizing.

Limbaugh is not being "censored." He's not being imprisoned by the government nor prevented by authorities from expressing his views. But the government has no obligation to provide him a public platform for his show via DoD's American Forces Network.

If DoD drops him from AFN, He'll likely be replaced by another conservative talk show host--and he'll still be free to have a show and to express his views to whatever audience wishes to hear him.
