If the suit is groundless it will be tossed. Otherwise, bring it on!

Judging from the tenor of the comments here, few of us are really worried about this having any real impact. But it’s quite telling that these groups would do this.

It must comfort you to no end to know they’re on your side of the political fence, and stamping out freedom of speech to your benefit, eh?

Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin’

You can put a suit on a “________”, but he’s still a/an “________”. Lefties never change.

stevevvs: you obviously don’t remember how Limbaugh was against the Republican position on immigration, on the Gang of 14, on the huge GOP-supported steel and ag subsidies, on the Medicare drug program expansion. Or on Harriet Myers.

Fact is, Rush isn’t a member of the GOP. He’s a conservative.

You obviously don’t remember that until McCain picked Palin he was not on board with the GOP presidential ticket.

IOW you don’t listen to him.

As for Savage: if you want to spend a couple hours daily listening to a severely-disturbed man, filled with hatred and resentment and rampant social insecurities, you go right ahead.

Savage is “right” about many things he speaks of, but he is an unbearable downer in an America that has historically succeeded through its optimism.

Savage often mutters about Limbaugh playing golf with “elite” and for owning a private jet.

Can we call this what it is, which is envy, pure and simple? Is envy (aka coveting thy neighbor’s goods) a conservative principle?

Savage mocks Limbaugh for lacking a formal education. Is “credentialism” a valid debating technique? All the works on Reasoning I’ve encountered call it a basic fallacy.

Finally, Savage believes in and uses products based on homeopathy, a crackpot pseudo-science if there ever were one.

If Savage lacks the ablity to distinguish bogus nostrums from real science and medicine, his logic and reasoning are automatically suspect.

Where’s that idiot Irishman omu, who says he is “amused” when conservatives claim liberals attempt to stifle their free speech??

More and more he strikes me as just as obtuse, just as clueless and just as arrogant as the Swiss edelweiss.

So much for sticking to the issues to win. Instead lets just shut down all opposing views. If this law suit even goes to court, any media outlet better watch out…

I can only hope a sane judge terminates this silly lawsuit before it sees the light of day.

At least one of the radio station’s hosts (Hugh Hewitt) is a lawyer.

Someone called in to Rush worried about the Fairness Doctrine not long ago. He sounds like he’s loaded for bear and has been anticipating this for a long time. I can’t wait.

The only conservative talker I know of is Michael Savage. The rest are GOP operatives, in my opinion. There isn’t any honest out of the Limbaugh/Hannity.Boortz/Lepricon wing. Just RNC talking points.

I should also note that it was the change that was the most telling… Obama changed “bulldog” to “pig”. That’s pretty personal in my book.

Well, as one person particularly fond of the pig/lipstick analogy myself, I have to say that I think the congressman was calling her “record” a pig; not calling Sarah a pig.

Ok I could be totally wrong, but that’s not the first impression I got. Since Sarah referred to herself personally with the imagery of a bulldog with lipstick, I took Obama’s attack as a personal attack on that imagery. You know, in an apples-to-apples sort of comparison.
