When prominent Republicans can publicly disagree with him without recanting ten minutes later with their tails between their legs, then I'd agree that Rush does not speak for the GOP as a whole.


That's a pretty broad brush you're using there.


DCB7, can you name a Republican who's taken on Limbaugh publicly?


Why should they? It seems the only ones paying attention to Rush are the liberals.

Its silly if you think about it.   Rush has an opinion that resonates with voters, that doesn't mean politicians should agree or disagree with them.   Clearly Obama won't make a statement on Maher's words, in fact, Carney said the Administration doesn't control what people say - so, they won't be giving that $1 million back....even Schumer said they won't give Maher's money back.   So calling successful women in power a "cunt" is defacto the words of the Obama Administration.   They surely felt that way about Hillary too.

The political left is hell bent on keeping the focus off Obama, the economy and gas prices.   They choose instead to use these phony social issues that women are losing rights, etc.   Their focus on Rush is borderline delusional in comparison to the things pundits on the left say - they need to shut down debate and control the media for their shit to have a chance of getting by the electorate.    Just recently Maher was joking about southerner's celebrating "cracker" day.   How would the media react if Rush said blacks should celebrate "nigger" day?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative)

Those definitions are equally offensive yet only the left will try to make one sound worse than the other.

Bill Maher: "If Irish Americans can manage to celebrate their heritage in just one day then Southerners should be able to do also. That's right, instead of spending the whole year flying the Confederate flag and saying 'the South will rise again,' you get just one day. We'll call it 'St. Cracker's Day.'"

 
Its not surprising that this is the sort of language used by big financial supporters of Obama.

Has Obama really ever taken a stance on the radical nature of Rev Wright or Bill Ayers?   Are these people even close to the mainstream?   Rush is certainly close to the mainstream in his views, he's just a loudmouth about it, and well compensated for it.   Anyone that mocks the idiocy of the left seems to become a target by the media and this administration....similar to dissenters in Syria, Iran or N Korea.

If everyone had to lay their chips on the table the batshit crazy ideology of Obama would far outweigh the ramblings of a nearly mainstream Rush Limbaugh.
