I dont like the pompus windbag...
I also cant stand Bill Maher...
I really dont like the idea of the govt silencing either, which is something people have been calling to do... dont like them dont listen, boycott sponser's if thats your thing.
It really scares me that some people want a federal agency to force him off the air, makes me wonder what will be next.

I haven't seen much (at least specifically due to this situation) about people wanting the government to force him off the air. There have been some calls for the military to take him off the Armed Forces Radio, but that isn't really the same thing as wanting the government to force him off the air in general.

"If Clear Channel won't clean up its airways, then surely it's time for the public to ask the FCC a basic question: Are the stations carrying Limbaugh's show in fact using their licenses "in the public interest?"
Spectrum is a scarce government resource. Radio broadcasters are obligated to act in the public interest and serve their respective communities of license. In keeping with this obligation, individual radio listeners may complain to the FCC that Limbaugh's radio station (and those syndicating his show) are not acting in the public interest or serving their respective communities of license by permitting such dehumanizing speech."

Though you have to laugh out loud at the three people pushing it.

Yep, the three people pushing it are laughable... but the comments on the various pages that carried the story are scary to me... common people saying yes the FCC should for clearchannel off the air unless the get rid of Rush...

Yeah... in much the same way Rush "leads" the Republican party.

The advertisers aren't a long term problem for him. The vast majority only said they were taking a break, not never advertising on his show again.
As said above, it's the local affiliates that are his problem. There are plenty of other free shows (or barter programming as it's called) that generate a lot of revenue. If they think they would be better off with someone less prone to pissing off a good segment of the public with stupidity, he is going to lose a lot of them, which in turn will reduce the amount of revenue he can generate and threaten the barter status of his program.
I highly doubt it will come to that, but I'm usually wrong about what the nation as a whole is thinking....so it's possible. It's not like he will vanish even if it does, he will simply go to a different distribution model and keep spewing his crap. I'm happy that he is around to spew his crap, he says what a lot of people are thinking. The stupid people that is.
