No, I don't listen to Limbaugh, although I have. He's a pompous ass, and a hypocrite. I don't admire either of those character traits.

They may be "free" to carry the show but choose not to because of the lost of revenue by doing to. Why should the radio station be forced to carry anyone?

They aren't being forced. They could still carry any show they want.
The airwaves are public, not private, if they want to proselytize they need to do it in the private, not public domain.

What would the expense be to pay all these "ORATORS"...as I am sure the majority would expect restitution for their valuable time.....say Rush gives an off the hip comment about Slick Willey......now Rush would have to have Mr. Willy himself standing there...all the while Rush would have to have his pen ready...check book in hand....because "BUBBA"....don't talk for nothing...just look at the track record. Thus in the "REAL" world...we all know Mr. BUBBA would not even agree to be on-air with the likes of RUSH.....no this takes Rush's words of critical dialogue right out of his mouth... against the left....simple.

No worries , the internet cannot be silenced and the assholes in the govt KNOW it . Besides talk radio is BIG bidness and when you are talking that kind of revenue there will be one hell of a fight with the business lobby AND the listeners . The listeners are the ones the asswipes in the govt had better worry about . IF they WERE to pull it off I predict riots by PISSED off conservatives . Don't forget , we have all the guns !

I have listened, but don't most of the time. The times I have listened he was a pompous arrogant dick. So I haven't actually listened in awhile now.

Cool ! I am glad to hear it . Do your liberal friends know you a violent , dangerous , gun owner . If they did some would tell you that you are more likely to be hurt if you pull a gun on a burglar . I don't know about you but it has been my experience that is not how it works .
