Limbaugh: "[F]ascists, statists" on the left are interested in "silencing people who disagree with them and the reason for that, folks, is fear. They are afraid of Dick Cheney. They are afraid of me"

        Wow. Rush is delusional. A.) No one is trying to silence either Limbaugh or Cheney. B.) In fact, no one wants to silence Rush or Dick for the obvious reason that neither Rush nor Dick are helping the GOP cause very much. Wouldn't you think Rush might have noticed that? For all the help Rush is giving the Democrats, he may actually be underpaid.

          There is something in the ideology of conservatism that makes them very paranoid. I don't know what it is but it is always on display. Just look at today; Carrie Prejean PC prompts them to conclude that humans will be marrying animals any day now and that Perez Hilton is the type of judge Obama is looking for to replace Souter. Dick Cheney goes on Face the Nation over the weekend and Limbaugh gets 3 hours a day on the radio but the left is trying to silence them? How, by turning down the volumes on their TVs and radios? Limbaugh is not overpaid but he is underperforming, at least if you are a conservative and interested in winning elections.

      No, Rush, we just think it's time that your audience was made aware of the fact that you are a paid liar.

      You have every right to belch your bullsh*t all you want, but we have every right to expose your copious lies. After that, if your addle-brained listeners want to continue believing you, that's their problem.

      Talk about projecting. It wasn't liberals who got that journalist fired for saying bush was hiding in a bunker, and it wasn't liberals who almost destroyed the careers of the dixie chicks and linda ronstadt because they dared to exercise their free speech to speak out against bush. And it wasn't liberals who created a fascist style network that is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the fourth reich.

        Wow. I'd forgotten about the Dixie Chicks. I'm sure Rush was defending them, right?

      Well, let's see.... Cheney's been claiming that there has never been a better time since 9/11 for the terrorists to strike the US again and - since Cheney began this mantra - Limbaugh has declared that he's leaving New York City. Well, I'm on the left and I'm staying put, continuing to work in Lower Manhattan. I think it's Limbaugh who is afraid.

      No, Rush, we don't want to silence you or Darth Cheney (although I, for one, would love to see the latter prosecuted). We love to hear you soot your mouths off, because you are driving people away from the Republican Party faster than anything we could have devised. Keep up the good work!

        I am sure the same thing has happened in response to the venom of my local right wing radio talkers.

      Hey Limbaugh! There's a significant difference between silencing and ignoring. Silencing was what Bush did to his critics from '00-'08. Ignoring is what the left is doing to you, ya whack-job.

      I'm pretty sure the only people afraid of Cheney and Limbaugh are the GOP. Bush is probably a little perturbed at Cheney for throwing him under the bus.
      Rush, you're a constant source of irrational thinking. No one is trying to silence you. The rest of us are not afraid of a mentally deficient hate mongering windbag like yourself.

      I am afraid.....afraid for the person who is constantly exposed to the radioactive waste that comes out of both of their mouths and believes it. These people have to be scared out of their wits and I pray they don't do anything crazy that will hurt themselves or others.

      Anyone here afraid of Ol' Fathead?

      There, I didn't think so.

      We're grateful for you speaking out. Please, talk more. I'd like to see Dick get his own radio show.

      The more you guys blubber, the more elections we win. Please, fill the air with even more lies, maybe we can get 70 Senators. ...Don't ever change.

      I just passed my coffee through my nose!!!

      The only way Rush makes folks quake, is when he walks by and not from fear (except for the GOP). Rush has become so huge, when he moves, he registrars on the Reciter scale!

      Cheney has a hard time breathing and coughs far too much to have a healthy heart.

      Either one of these buffoons could drop dead of a heart attack today and it would surprise no one.

      It would surprise ME that either of these two will be around in 2012. In fact the bulk of the old guard won't be assaulting our ears and intelligence by 2016.

      Not that I wish anyones kidneys would fail or anything like that, but facts are facts.

      Maybe they are so afraid themselves, that they are compelled to project their fear.
