I see. Libs only want freedom of speech when it benefits them. Oh the hypocrisy!

[Straw Man]

why dont you do your own research and post the definition here like I requested?

if your so sure...LMFAO

if anyone censors Rush it will be his boss and that is perfectly allowable just like in any other place of business

Media Matters cannot in any way censor him and running an ad is not equivalent to censorship, not even the bizzaro "thought censorshp" that you seem to believe exists

Nice try moron, the whole "thought censorship" only serves to highlight your idiocy. Only a fucking moron would think that that "censoring thoughts" equates to thoughts in your head and not expressed thoughts...LMFAO what a moron....

I can agree with that, Im glad to see youve come to understand the term censor and use it correctly.

The fact is though that media matters(or whoever is running the commercial) is advocating for the censorship of rush limbaugh...

why dont these idiots just not listen to him?

One of the chief functions of government is to restrain evil. Broadcast indecency makes it extremely difficult to protect the general population's mental and physical health against corrupting influences.

Rush is evil?

Rush is evil?   

Some people might define some of his on-air rhetoric as indecent. Even he apologized for the "slut" fiasco.

It's drastically worse than anything rush has said.

LOL Really???

and who gets to decide whats evil?

why doesnt the govt end abortion then and put a stop to gay marriage?

does their reach only apply to private sectors or public sectors? I mean calling other americans enemies, barbarians at the gate and telling ppl to punish them seems pretty evil to me...

[Al Doggity]

That's a matter of interpretation. I've only seen a few Jersey Shore episodes, but don't recall anything I'd define as evil.

I only read Getbig sporadically now, but I remember you posted a bunch of erroneous articles regarding birth control in the wake of the Sandra Fluke scandal. Those erroneous articles all stemmed from Rush's vicious, erroneous on-air attacks. You could say that liberal media lies, but the fact that Rush repeatedly called her a "slut" shows that he was being intentionally malicious.

And Big Ed called Laura Ingrahm a slut as well.   Why no outrage?

plenty of intentionally malicious actions going around, you think abortion isnt intentionally malicious?

again whats the criteria on which the basis of whats evil and whats not?

[Al Doggity]

Well, Ed called Laura a "talk slut". And it didn't carry over for several days. And he wasn't misrepresenting a position of her's out of malice.  And he ended up taking a week of unpaid leave. And he apologized on-air the following day.The two events weren't really comparable.

Abortion is a medical procedure.

[tonymctones]

Abortion is a medical procedure.

your assertion was that its the govt job to protect ppl from evil...

whether its a medical procedure or not isnt important to your assertion. If its evil its the govt job to protect the ppl from it according to you.

symantics really, the main question is whats the criteria for deciding whats evil or not and who decides it?

Media Matters is a joke.  Where were they when Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a slut?  Didn't hear a word about boycotts, etc.  Hacks.

he said it once

there was outrage

he apologized and removed himself from the air for a period of time

Rush went on for 3 days and didn't just call Fluke a slut but lied about her repeatedly and called her much more than a slut

I'm still hoping she decies to sue him

The Slut bag is now a public figure and has no claim at all.  She is a national disgrace and a piece of garbage.

you're the one that brought up the idiotic idea of thought censorship in the first place

all the phony outrage about censorship when all Media Matter is doing is running a few radio ads

Pay attention - radio ad's are not censorship and it is literally impossible for Media Matter to censor Rush.  The only way that could happen is if Rush becomes their employee and then they tell him what he can and cannot say

Media Matters, exercising their right to free speech by objecting to something Rush has said is not censorship

[Straw Man]

she wasn't a public figure until Rush ranted about her for 3 days straight  and I don't believe being a public figure allows someone else to slander you

you're the lawyer so you tell me

Let's pretend you're a public figure in the same way that you believe Fluke is (in other words no one has a clue who you are until I start talking about you)

Let's pretend I have a radio show and I say that you're a child molester, advocate fucking farm animals, had sex with your mother etc.. (all complete lies as far as I know)

I do this for hours a day for 3 days in a row

You're now a "public figure" just like Fluke

Is this somehow not slander ?

Why is it slander when she flat out lied and said she needed 3000 worth of birth control to cover her needs?   The logical assumption that any reasonable person would make was that she was having insane amounts of sex other guys.

I see

you're still  pretending she lied about something and I guess you believe that means Rush can lie about her and then it's not slander

is that correct

is that how the law works?

lol.  Are you serious?  That's it?  Where was the Media Matters campaign to get Shultz off the air?  Where were the boycotts?  Pressure on advertisers?
