LIMBAUGH LOSES RADIO AND TV SPONSORS AND STILL DOESN''T GET WHY

Rush Limbaugh 'apologized', "sincerely" today though most commentators would not have considered what he had to say as any believable apology since he never touched or commented on the real issues that have bothered those angry at him.  Limbaugh has somehow set himself up within the Republican party as someone to be feared.  Some have called him the leader of the party.  Indeed, he was extremely influential in the 90s in getting Republicans into the Legislature but it does not seem as though he has been helpful relative to choosing a candidate for the presidency.  Al Franken wrote a wonderful book, well worth reading at the time though it may seem outdated today....perhaps not.  I read it a few years ago.

Actually, near 20 years ago, someone wrote a book with what Rush said on the left hand page and what the truth was, cited sources, on the right hand page.  He is full of untruths, full of insults many of which would probably fulfill the requirements for a slander suit if people wished to pursue.  E. J. Dionne pointed out that many men, fathers of daughters, found his attack on Sandra Fluke unacceptable, imagining what they would feel like if it were their daughters being spoken of like that to his 12 million listeners. Dionne talked about the G.O.P. 
missing the primary issue.  The fact that the Republicans put so much faith (or is it fear) in Limbaugh has allowed them to totally drop the ball on what the electorate wants from them.

Here we are, in 2012, with our leaders trying to get pledges of chastity, fidelity,, and virginity rather than working on getting middle class people back to work so they can feed their families and educate the next generation who need skills and training. Hopefully Rush Limbaugh has finally ceased to serve his evil purpose.  He messed with a much larger, and more energetic group who comes attached with parents who will support them to not tolerate this country being brought down as far as Rush Limbaugh brought it for millions.
