    thats weird you say that because i was listening to the poisonous gas ball rush limbaugh on my way to the store to get a candy bar and i thought to myself, its amazing that this guy hasn't had an "accident" yet.

    Your idealogy is 180 degrees from Limbaugh. So should we outlaw opinion that differs from yours'?

    Sucks that your radio only gets one station though.

    i get a laugh out of listening to him, but no we should not outlaw anything anyone has to say. Criticism of current and old administrations to me is what we should be doing if criticism is warranted. I think rush should be allowed to say whatever he wants, as should anyone.

    I get ESPN radio too, but living in Central Louisiana and not having satellite radio its either or, and its a boring sports day.

    No way. Yanks up 7 and a half and the Red Sox have their tail between their legs. It's a glorious sports day.

    Seeing as how noone has introduced legislation to reinstate the fairness doctrine I think it is more accurate to say it was never alive, or undead. Whatever is funnier.

    A more accurate title would be "Are fears about the revival of the Fairness Doctrine unfounded?"

    The United States has appointed more Czars in 8 months than Russia had in 400 years. Whats next, a Politburo?
