Shgould LIES Be Censored, hmmmm.
Elephantman writes: "This is the funny thing. You'd never see Rush Limbaugh complain about censorship. He pays his own way, thank you very much. He's not begging for grants or donations or more budgetary funding. Rush is negotiating his next deal. Are you listening, Garrison Keillor, Terry Gross, Ira Glass and Amy Goodman?"
Limbaugh replies: "Now, we're not through with this because there's still a chance to get this -- this whole thing taken out over on the House side. And I think -- I -- I do not withdraw from the position that I -- that I said yesterday. This is unprecedented for a United States senator to single out a single citizen in a Defense appropriation bill -- a major, major piece of legislation -- a United States senator singles out a single citizen, me, as representing harm, as spreading propaganda, as damaging the morale of the troops. (An aside -- the bill was to get Rush yanked from Arm Forces Radio -- publically funded BTW)
Now that's censorship. That is attempted censorship -- not what happens to other people in the private sector. That may be bad enough, but it's not censorship. This, when a United States senator, reacting to a bunch of numbskulls that are extensions of the Democratic Party, can simply add an amendment based on a single citizen. Why, I mean -- I mean, on the one hand, folks, it's astounding. It's -- it's unbelievable. On -- on the other hand, I'm going -- heh -- "I am really screwing with these people and I love it. Now this is cool.""
