This is just another way to whip people up and make it look like another good reason to do so. I don't really like Rush that much, kind of boring and a follower. I am more of a Savage fan. Don't be fooled by this crap, congress is just looking for reasons to shut down one of the last places people have a voice..talk radio. With all the problems we have in the world, and this is what some leaders spend their time on.? That's Incomprehensibly stupid and pathetic. Congress so wants to shut down talk radio.

Well, there were a bunch of vets, one who had been a platoon leader for two tours in Nam, and went on many LRRP's, and has the PTSD to prove it.
