Could prove to be be costly, for once.

I don't think he's too worried about an FCC fine for a TNT caliber cuss word.

You're right, unless it's amplified.

The minimum fine the FCC imposes for a single indecency offense is $7,000, and the maximum is $325,000. But Limbaugh's website says he airs on 590 individual stations nationwide. And you can bet that the Flush Rush Facebook group and #StopRush twitter volunteers, who have taken nearly every advertiser away from Limbaugh's program by simply educating sponsors as to what Rush really rants about, will be making complaints about every last station.

That would add up to a minimum fine of $4,130,000, but a maximum of $191,750,000. That is way too much money for stations who are already losing money airing Limbaugh's show to cough up.

You're right, unless it's amplified.

At which point you'll have to decide what is more important to you:

a) some petty ire towards a buffoon on the radio

b) a government entity shutting down one of the all-time most listened to radio broadcasts over the word "bullshit".

I think even the ACLU would be in the Limbaugh corner on that one.

And the FCC will only nibble at the hand that feeds it, so you won't have to decide.

[badcompany]

Yeah, he's gonna be fined $200 million for saying "Bullsh*t" on the air :lol:

What color is the sky in your world, H4C?

[horses4courses]

He should be waterboarded in Gitmo for treason.

[Clocker]

What color is the sky in your world, H4C?

Purple, the same color as the Kool Aid he drinks.

right beside 0bama?

[Robert Goren]

It is the religious right which is a large part of audience that insists FCC fine broadcasters for things like this. God forgive me, but seeing a conservative a dose of his medicine bring joy to my heart.

[Rookies]

Man oh man, there are dozens of things to go after Windbag about or that completely classless beeatch Coulter, but saying b.s., on the air?

Come on America! :bang:

Go after them? For expressing opinions?

They are preaching to the choir. The only people offended by them are people who listen to them hoping to be offended. :D

[LottaKash]

With all the wickedness and perversion that abounds, in the movies, on the TV, and especially in the "MUSIC", in this nation these days, this has got to be the biggest crock of bullchit of all...

What hard markers the commies are these days...

Oh my lord, he said bull chit, I think I will faint...

Get Real Amerika....

[TJDave]

Shit is what Bulls do, mostly.

[hcap]

I am only hoping the next time he gives a televised commentary, he has a "wardrobe malfunction" ala Janet Jackson and blinds 1/2 of his fawning conservative lemming-like admirers, and is fined accordingly.

We may even lose some fawning fans here :lol: :lol:

[MutuelClerk]

Didn't LeBron just have a wardrobe malfunction?

[hcap]

Didn't LeBron just have a wardrobe malfunction?Yes, but would not be surprised if 1/2 of those same fawning conservative lemming-like gasbag admirers, were just now blinded by LeBron. :lol:

[Tom]

The most popular radio host in America is famous for spreading lies, propaganda, misogyny, and hate over our publicly owned airwaves. But the Federal Communications Commission, which oversees the public interest in broadcasting, has consistently stood by Limbaugh's First Amendment right to say whatever he wants, no matter how many people he harms or offends.

Pot, meet Kettle.
Huffpo as a source?
Wassup wit dat? MAD Magazine late this month? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, so what? As your title says, slip of the tongue.
You have now sunk to 46's level of irrelevance.

[Tom]

b) a government entity shutting down one of the all-time most listened to radio broadcasts over the word "bullshit".

This is how people like H4C think, sad as it is to believe.
HE would be ok with it, I am sure.

Hey, when you got no card to play, this is your strategy.
He and the lemmings on the left cannot ever hope to challenge Rush on facts....this is all they are. Nothings. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not America, the liberals.

Right on.
Nothing worth listening to in Canada?
I never listen to French radio then whine about it. ;) :D

[classhandicapper]

I read the first couple of paragraphs of that blog entry and my first thought was that whoever wrote it is a way bigger problem for American politics than Rush.

[Tom]

New mantra....Enuff of the Huff.
