Guess who is at it again? Well it is Rush Limbaugh! I know I
should not be giving him any of my attention but it is something to me on how
he just keep getting away with statements he makes. How unfair and bias is
that? He makes derogatory statements and still gets a job. I am sure we all can
name someone who made derogatory statements to never be seen or heard from
again. When Rush does it he just get another job and more popularity.
This is a man with a high school education. He has the most
listened to radio talk show. He is nationally broadcast on 600 plus radio
stations. He markets himself as being an educated man who reads books and
articles. I guess this means a lot of people are educated. The only thing I learned
from him is how a high school education can sometimes be all you need. I also
learned a lot of us need to make sure we go to college to achieve a higher
level of education. I wish I had the
gift of gab to be heartless, uncaring and bias to run my mouth off and get paid
for it.
This man has called someone a slut because he disagrees with
how the young lady feels. It seems like everyone has forgotten and forgave him
for the racial statements he made on his own television talk show and on ESPN. He
is part of the problem we have here in America. We have too many people who are
bias, they can say what they want but everyone else should be punished some
kind of way for expressing their views. In the article about Rush making the
bad statements states how he has lost some sponsorship ads. In the same article
there was a sponsor who said they will continue to run their ads on his shows
because his views do not represent them. How hypocritical people are. Rush
would be the first to call for someone to be crucified for making the same if
not similar statements and they should be removed from the air and lose all
sponsorship. It is funny when he does it and portray himself like it not a bad
thing because of 1st amendment rights.
Now I will say we have become a very sensitive society. I also
will agree that some statements are disrespectful. My feeling on this is how he can continuously
get away with making his statements and so many people get fired and pushed to
the side. If others are forced to issue public apologies or forever be silent. So
should Rush! In a separate article, Obama has reached out to the young lady to
let her know he disagrees with Rush statement and how unprofessional of Rush. It
would be nice to see Rush removed from radio completely, no publishing of his
off the wall books and absolutely no interviews. It would be nice to not have
such a rude, egotistical, low educated, loud mouth and shameful person silenced
so people can start thinking for themselves and using their own minds.

I think the reason he gets away with what he does is because it is that specific behavior that created his following. It is a sad thought that that many Americans think he is so fantastic. Others who make brash statements and are held accountable typically do not cater to that kind of audience and so the media outlet that is backing them is forced to take action. With Rush Limbaugh, the media outlet is expecting this behavior and is probably even hoping for it because, unfortunately it seems to drive ratings.
