You could not be more wrong about Limbaugh's fans. They wouldn't put up with that for one second. And please provide examples of things Rush has said that are worse than making a "joke" out of statutory rape of Willow Palin (It was the 14 year old on the trip to NY with Sarah -- not Bristol -- the 18 Yr old). I'll be waiting for evidence of your serious allegation.
If this uproar on the part of Dittoheads were to occur they would actually need to disagree with Rush. Something that isn't possible. That's why they're called Dittoheads.
An example? You mean besides years of race-baiting that would put Imus's comment to shame? Like when he got booted as a sports commentator for ESPN because he tried to racialize The NFL? Well ok. There was this joke he did about Chelsea Clinton back when she was 12 about being "The White House Pet Dog." Never even said so much as "my bad. I went too far." In fact, he still denies he ever said it to this day when confronted by it. The more racist the comments he makes, the more his fans love him.
QVM:
You've apparently never listened to his show. Dittohead means you agree with MANY of his POINTS regarding political POLICY. I can be a dittohead on one issue and NOT a dittohead on another. At any rate, no one who calls into his show calls themselves a "Dittohead". That's something your prescious media latched onto in a lame attempt to belittle Limbaugh. If you think Rush is a race baiter, you are insane. But I can say your side clearly plays the RACE CARD...and they do it ad nauseum -- ad infinitem!
The comment he made on MNFB (if I recall correctly) was that something like most blacks are better athletes or some such. I tend to agree. That's not a "racist" comment -- that's an observation based on years of watching sports.
You obviously never listen to his show. I've never heard anyone -- for one, I've never heard HIM belittle any politicians KIDS -- but if they did, no one would "applaud" him for that and you're insane if you think they would. Now, kids who are adult offspring of politicians who make political comments in the public eye ARE fair game.
And this is a problem -- why?
Because Bristol has willingly put herself in the public eye where as Willow is still a minor and has not.
QVM:
Again -- it was WILLOW who was in NY not Bristol. The joke wasn't pointed at Bristol -- however, he later tried to come back and do a "save" by SAYING he was referring to Bristol.
Lame. Nobody -- except you and maybe two others -- is fooled.
No, he tried to make a joke of it -- and again -- not funny. In fact, it made it worse. Heartfelt? Please.
You didn't even bother watching it did you? He was clearly sorry.
QVM: I watched it. He made a complete mockery of it. He was not the least bit sorry. He tried to worm his way out of it and tried to "joke" his way out of it.
It's not working. At least not with me.
So, in your mind, as long as the ratings are good then anything Letterman wants to say should be fair game? Man, that's some really solid moral convictions you have there...
Moral convictions and ratings mean nothing compared to The First Amendment. Which is what both Letterman and Rush use everyday. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
