How many liberals disagree with Chrissie Hynde allowing Rush Limbaugh to use "My City Was Gone" on his radio?

show? My understanding is that she initially objected but relented upon agreement that royalties would go to PETA and the fact that her grandma liked Rush might have played a factor.

I know a lot of conservatives (I live and grew up in the Bible belt) that I regard as misguided and essentially wrong about a lot of things, but people of good will, living in a confusing world, that are at least trying to honestly come to grips with it.) The problem I have with Rush is that he more or less screams, bully and dishonest, in everything he does. First, I will try to intimidate you and if that doesn't work, I will try to lie. Rush, is entitled to his 1st amendment rights just like anyone else. But since he isn't contributing anything useful to debates, and is positively golldern toxic it to it, I think we should shun him. Treat him like he is a moral leper and try to avoid the spreading of the contagion.

Ok, back to Chrissie Hynde, I think Rush Limbaugh is shun worthy. And people who are interested in serious political debate shouldn't give him anything other what is legally obligated (which is the right to speak his mind).

Allowing him to work out some sort of bargain where he donates to PETA tends to mainstream him.

Update:

Ok, the other thing that really irritates me, is the fact that ever since Reagan, conservatives have claimed the mantle of "rebel", if Rush Limbaugh really wants to preach conservatism, at least let him find a conservative rock'n'roller out there that really agrees with him. or introduce himself with classical music. I'm sure the Founders loved classical music.

    I guess if I was an artist I would feel uncomfortable if someone was using my song to promote a cause or position I didn't agree with, but at the same time, a part of me would be flattered that they liked it and it meant something to them, even if they were twisting its interpretation and its meaning as I originally intended it.

    I would think that Chrissie Hynde would understandably have some mixed feelings about it, but it seems like a reasonable agreement, that she is making clear that she doesn't agree with him, but nonetheless will let him use her song. I remember I saw an interview with Tom Petty once, he tries to stay out of politics for the most part, but he was very upset that George W. Bush in 2000 was using "Won't Back Down" as a campaign song, as he was supporting Al Gore, and threatened to sue the Bush campaign, who, in turn, backed down, ironic as that is. But he said in this interview, which took place a few years later, that he probably wouldn't have gone to that length to threaten to sue anymore, saying that as uncomfortable as he was with it being used to promote positions he disagreed with, he still thought that they had a right to do so.

    because of the fact it fairly is truthfully the opposite. Google "Clinton Blames Limbaugh for Oklahoma city Bombing" Then do the quest with Limbaugh blames Clinton for Oklahoma city Bombing. wager what, it fairly is Limbaugh that condemns Clinton for stated terrorist assaults. yet I concur, severe conservative radio courses which includes Limbaugh besides as information courses focused on an identical objective audience does convince others to lean too distant the "suited wing" scale. we would desire to constantly bear in ideas, even in the experience that your on the left, suited, or interior the midsection, there is somebody listening or looking at that's no longer solid of their ideas and could view what they have witnessed or found out to apply in an extreme occasion such because of the fact the ok bombing, the Abortion hospital bombings, Olympic bombings, or perhaps serial killers will make it a political assertion which includes Manson, The Zodiac killer, and Son of Sam. Combining non secular and political subject concerns to do psychotic retaliations. I do sense that the media has a accountability while it is composed of the commentators own perspectives and the present sensationalism they use to attraction to visitors. at that element era, conservative and liberal radio replace right into a huge controversy and truthfully replace into stirring up plenty discontent interior the inhabitants as an entire. Goldie - you're a hypocrit, what you stated is additionally reversed as on your assertion. you're nevertheless of the mentallity of "Do as I say, no longer as I do."

    I'm thinking Ms.Hynde appreciates the irony of Rush sending money to PETA.

    I've been shunning Limbaugh for years now, he seems to be thriving without my support. The most appalling thing is that he has followers at all, the great mass of the self-retarded.
