Wondering if someone like greg or e , has access to this show up in the great white north fundamentalist boonies ? miso-mythomaniac mysogynists They’re Making Me Defend Rush Limbaugh outsidethebeltway.com Bill Maher’s comments about this campaign: “I got crap from both the left and the right this week because — OK, let me address the left first, because I found this more disheartening,” Maher said. “They were very mad at me because I tweeted that people like Rush Limbaugh — who I absolutely disagree with, I’ve never said a good word about him, I did a whole monologue about what an asshole he was only a week ago — but I said I don’t like it that people are made to disappear when they say something or people try to make them disappear when they say something you don’t like. That’s America. Sometimes you’re made to feel uncomfortable, OK?” “Can we put this in perspective?” Maher said. “No one died.

But you know what? I would rather put up with Rush Limbaugh and live in a country where we all do have freedom of speech. And the people who I’ve heard say, when they put pressure on his sponsors, the system is working. No it’s not. That’s the system being manipulated. I lived through that 10 years ago.”
