1. Limbaugh is an entertainer radio talkshow host. Rahm is the President's Chief of Staff.
I would hope rahm is held to a higher standard than entertainers.

4. But more people are exposed to Rush than Rahm and that matters.
Plus, Rush has been described as the de facto head of the Republican Party. So Rush is serious stuff...how many million people hear Rush every day in this country? Rahm's words were said privately (and no, he shouldn't have said it privately but you get my point).

8. Is entertainer synonymous with hatemonger?
He is no entertainer, IMHO.

He is HATE in the purest form.

13. So, Palin will be fine with what Rush said to his millions of listeners?
Nope, no hipocrisy there.

14. Rahm did it in private ... Rush used public airwaves and it was not an impromptu
faux pas ...

So, where's the "standard"? I mean, Dick Cheney told a senator in private, "Go fuck yourself" ... no action ...

John Kerry attempted a joke at Bush43's expense ... constant calls were made for him to apologize ...

Don Imus makes a "nappy headed ho" reference on the air ... despite plenty of attacks on Dems, Imus was constantly considered part of the "liberal media bias", and he was forced out of his job ...

5. In what regard?
After all the fuss about the Presidents Chief of Staff using the term "retarded" Rush used the term numerously in response. Palin had condemned Rahm and called for his dismissal. The world awaits her response to Rush.

6. I hope you weren't seriously expecting her to say anything
Edited on Thu Feb-04-10 04:21 PM by tularetom
Her 15 minutes of fame is just about up and she's flailing about for some way to keep herself in the public eye. Scott Brown has replaced her as the new shiny object among the lunatic fringe and she screwed up big time with all the drama with the tea bag convention and her endorsement of McCain.

She may be a friggin moran but she's smart enough (or her puppet masters are) not to take on the 800 ton gorilla of wing nut Amurka over any issue.
