President Obama has a plan to create or save 3 million jobs. But did you
hear what Rush Limbaugh said?

"I hope he fails."


i got an email on my school account containing that. I thought was pretty f*cked up. ANY COMMENTS?

Its not a big deal. Its called freedom of speech. Since when does anyone care what people say about them?


The media is probably just blowing it out of proportion to try to distract us from something else..

I never really get this "freedom of speech" defense. It simply doesn't apply to this discussion. No one's arguing that Rush Limbaugh can't say what he said; they're arguing that he's wrong. Freedom of speech just means you can say what you want; it doesn't mean that you're free from any criticism resulting from your speech.

Its a radio program.. everyone knows that Rush is very opininated and very conservative.. it comes as no surprise to me that he said this. Im not saying its right either.. but he said it and freedom of speech is allowed. I know its offensive to Obama supporters.. so if it is.. dont listen to Rush.
And these people can say what he said was wrong .. but it doesnt change that he said it. People are going to say and do a lot of things that are "wrong." Dont be oh-so sensitive.. he after all didnt say it about you... and if Obama succeeds... you all can just shove it right back into Rush's face.

well you could use the "freedom of speech" defense in defense of the people criticizing rush, too.

Ya...

lol what exactly is your point? the fact that he can say it? we already agreed upon that.
