To add to this Rush is broadcasting on publicly owned airwaves during the day when children could be listening. Yes some parents make their children listen to Rush spew bile.
Rush is and has been a pundit for the Republican party for years. It can be argued that he is the most powerful person in the Republican party. He is no longer the comedian he claims to be. He is now a commentator doing opinion broadcasts.
Bill Maher is a comedian that does a show that leans towards politics. His show on HBO is broadcast over cable and other private mediums. You have to pay to watch his show. Parents can filter him out if they don't want their children to see his show. Most people I have heard speak about Maher say in his real life he is an egotistical asshole. I don't watch his show.
The pac money he donated should stay right were it is.
If Rush donated a million dollars to Romney I would say the same thing. Romney doesn't need the money, he already is essentially Rush's boss since Bain owns Clear channel, who owns Premiere Radio Networks, who syndicates Rush's show along with Beck, Hannity, and others. They broadcast on 850 stations across the country. That sounds like a liberul media conspiracy to me. What say you.
Potty mouthed, are you kidding me. Foul mouthed would have made this post sound like it was written by an adult.
