I've also read a couple of things he has written, and in both instances I thought he had a point.

Personally, I'm not a fan and would rather not listen to him. But I don't think that he is the incarnate of evil and that his followers are mindless lemmings as well.

I don't understand how people can stand to listen to him, but I don't understand how people can do a lot of things which make no sense to me.

I also realize that there are millions of people who can't understand how I can piss away the most of the day on Political Chat when I could be watching reruns of Entertainment Tonight.

To me, Rush is no big deal, and certainly not worthy of my consideration. He's just another loudmouthed blowhard in a world full of loudmouthed blowhards.

Yeah, I once thought he had a point too. That there are too many people living off of our society rather than contributing something useful to it and bad mouthing those who do work. Kind of hard to argue with that........................

Then one day I realized that he is one of them.

I'd have to agree with this. Except there aren't any stupid politicians trying to make legislation at the behest of Howard Stern.

First what both of them said about the ladies is a terrible tasteless attempt at making a point. In a polite society should not be tolerated but in a free society will be voiced from time to time. Fools and clowns have voices too you know!

Yeah, but this is Limbaugh we're talking about. Would he have ever done the same for Maher? Maybe, but I doubt it.

One of the differences between the Right and the Left IMO!

Maher is not exactly in a position to criticize, after all.

[Oerets]

I agree but he did take the unpopular position, against the popular trends to voice this. Last night on his show he stated this was a "Protected under the First Amendment Rights " (Freedom of speech) and should be view as such.

I personally think both Rush and Maher were out of line but in this country it is expected to happen from time to time.

True. Listening to these people argue about these men makes me want to vomit. I can't believe how much time that Fox news has spent on these childish quarrels. I almost threw the remote at my TV when Palin was bitching about the PAC money. She needs a real job for awhile to get her mind right.

The First Amendment protects the right of people like Maher and Limbaugh to say whatever they say; it protects the right of people to criticize both of them; and it protects the right of advertisers to express themselves by withdrawing their money. I've always said that the best way to counter objectionable communication is with more effective communication. Rush clearly got out-communicated in this instance. It appears that Maher might have felt some of the heat from the firestorm over Limbaugh's comments.
