emjay BS: Rush Limbaugh is aired to US troops (90* d) RE: BS: Rush Limbaugh is aired to US troops 04 Jun 04

I write this as I am listening to Al Franken's Air America, but I don't propose the US Government provide it or Rush Limbaugh to those in Iraq. For a taste of home how about Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion? Or how about music without commentary?
Yes, I suppose taking Rush away might be censorship, but god knows there has got to be some way of countering his lies. His name calling, his harsh and cruel ranting, his meanness are all so far from mainstream, but he is not the only one. I have heard that Dr. Laura, James Dobson, others are also on Armed Forces Radio, while a daily two minutes of Jim Hightower's commentary is the only voice for the other side. I would suggest the problem is a lot bigger than possibly censoring Limbaugh.
Does anyone remember Axis Sally or Tokyo Rose? Or Joseph McCarthy?
