Well...not EVERYone's speech

Rush Limbaugh has long been a thorn in the side of liberals, but now, because of him, some Democratic politicians don't even want to join with a local radio station to broadcast hurricane information.
Radio station WIOD, AM 610, has been the official channel for emergency information from Broward County government for the past year. The County Commission, all Democrats, balked at renewing the deal Tuesday, unable to stomach the station also being home to Limbaugh's talk show..
Ken Charles, WIOD's director of AM programming, said Tuesday the station's talk show lineup has no relationship with its news coverage and that the county should focus on the benefits of teaming with the station.
Ritter's concerns were echoed by Commissioners Ken Keechl, a former president of the Dolphins gay Democratic club, and Suzanne Gunzburger, who served on the vote-tallying board that recounted the 2000 presidential election.
:rofl

Wow. Ken Charles is/was an AM program director here as well. Only conservative talk shows on his stations.

Dang, I thought Rash Limbphat was irrelevant these days :confused:
-
Hmm... Has someone violated Limbaugh's right to free speech?
I missed that part.
-
soooo... democrats would rather have people die than to take a chance that they may hear something that is not approved by them? That the other side of the thing is so persuasive that it is too dangerous to be heard?

good for them.

good for who? surely not the people who may die in a hurricane.

I don't know what this is all about, and I suspect I wouldn't care even if I knew. However there was one thing I noticed: Suzanne Gunzburger. Gunzburger ! If there is such a thing as an 'American name' then that one must be it! ;)

Their real problem is Limbaugh's audience is 22 million and growing. Newer polling methods are indicating it may be closer to 40 million. Wheather it's money or eligible voters EARS, this kind of garbage is all about NUMBERS.................
The fact that they tried this at all is a validation to how relevent Limbaugh is on the national political scean and how unable they are to sell their message or refute his message to the same audience and the growing numbers of new listeners.

Says, "His show was first nationally syndicated in August 1988, and as of 2005 (according to Arbitron ratings surveys) its audience was estimated at between 14 and 20 million listeners per week, making it the largest radio talk show audience in the United States."
