Is Rush Limpballs still on military radio?
I've always thought it is insane that the vile and divisive hatred-filled lies that comes out of that asshat's mouth was being piped to the military.

when Obama got elected I thought for sure they would take care of that right away.

Does anyone know if they fixed that yet, or if our military forces are still being brainwashed by the fat neocon liar?

1. As far as I know he is
I haven't listened to that tub of pus in ages, but he used to brag about how the troops love him.

2. If he is, something is terribly wrong
listening to that daily can seriously brainwash you. and the content of the brainwashing in question is not conducive to people who are supposed to be following orders from their commander in chief.

what kind of idiot would allow it to continue?

if they love him so much they can get a computer and listen online. just like they could watch current TV or rachel maddow. we should not be piping Rush Limpbaugh to their brains as part of the system. If it is still happening, it's either pure stupidity, or a sign that the neocons still own the military.

3. I was amazed because of the way he repeatedly trashed the CIC
Amazing how the military would stand for that.

8. Civilians have the right to trash the CIC
that entire freedom of speech thing. Armed forces radio can and should broadcast partisan political commentary - the military is made up of adults and don't needed to be protected or coddled..

4. Just like the RW has to put up with NPR
when I was in the military I had to put up with Limbaugh. Seemed like a fair trade - I sure didn't want political ideology limiting what I was able to see or hear.

Here is the Armed Forces Radio schedule - they do a good job of providing something for everyone.

10. The fact that you think NPR is
some sort of a left wing media source tells us a lot about you.

We are always on the look out for infiltrators from the right on DU. Anyone that thinks what Limbaugh does is an example of freedom of speech..........

11. The RW thinks that NPR is left wing bordering on communist
or have you missed all the RW attempts to defund it. And trust me, when I was on active duty they wanted it off of Armed Forces Radio.

Next time try reading for comprehension.

12. YOU said, you thought it was fair trade.
What a joke. NRP carries water for the right wing and Limbaugh makes insane claims about anyone that doesn't share his extremist agenda. How in the fuck is that a trade? I know exactly where you are coming from. Exactly. You slipped up. You revealed your true sentiments.

13. Once again in simpler words
Edited on Sat Oct-29-11 05:09 AM by hack89
they had to accept something they didn't want. I accepted something I didn't want.

You really don't recall 10-15 years ago how the right tried so hard to defund NPR?

Why the hysterics and personal attacks? Why can't you admit you misunderstood what I said?

15. I know - I am talking about RW perceptions of NPR
they really don't like it - especially 15 years ago when I was on active duty. Every year there were attempts to defund it.

I am not saying their perception was correct - they are RW after all.

6. NPR certainly doesn't "balance" Limbaugh. Does Armed Forces Radio carry "Democracy Now"? n/t
