Rush Limbaugh’s big mouth is getting him kicked off the air in Bloomington. Here’s what the fascism-loving racist said:
Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.Here’s what Bloomington’s WJBC did in response:
The Rush is no longer going to be on the air on WJBC. Radio Bloomington General Manager Red Pitcher announced this afternoon the syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show will air for the last time March 2, 2007. Pitcher tells WJBC's Steve and Beth on The Drive, local programming will replace Rush.Well, it couldn’t have happened to bigger asshole. Bye Rush!
Pitcher believes Limbaugh's popularity is declining because of controversial remarks that are offending even his Republican fans. He pointed to today's show in which Limbaugh compared players in the NFL with gang members. Details of the local programming line-up that will begin on March 5th will be announced in coming weeks.
And hey, WTAX, does this give you any good ideas? I don’t think any of the local radio stations here in Springfield pay for Arbitron or any other formal ratings anymore (I could be wrong about that) but I’ll bet WMAY’s local talkers smoke the syndicated guys in WTAX’s lineup in terms of listenership. I’ll take the mildly annoying (at times) political views of a Pamela Furr or Molsenandlee over a drug-addled wingnut propagandist any time.

Good for WJBC and local programming.
Love the name Red Pitcher, btw.
This just brightened my day!
....just goes to show that sometimes a "Pitcher" can hit a home run!
Good job WJBC!!
Do you think it would have happened if he had a better share?
That man has benefited from people's fears for so long that he no longer knows when he's crossed any line that even people like himself are not to cross - and we don't really even know where that line is.

Yep. He loves fascism and hates all races. You're exactly right. So right, in fact, that next time I feel like giving an issue or a person some critical, objective thought, I'm just going to say, 'Fuck it, Dave will tell me the right way to think about this', and come over here to soak up some more of your ever-ready, mindless hyperbole, ad hominem attacks, blanket generalizations, etc. It's so much easier to form your life's philosophies out of bumper sticker phrases. Thanks, Dave!
Anon,
Yup, no critical thinking going on here. It's all buzz phrases and empty rhetoric. No explanations or analysis. You must come here often.
You also just described rightwing radio by some coincidence. Project much?
