Ridge takes aim at Limbaugh 
CNN Political Ticker – Sun May 24, 6:36 am EDT


(CNN) — Pennsylvania Republican Tom Ridge is taking direct aim at Rush Limbaugh, telling CNN's John King the conservative talk radio host can be "shrill" and uses language in a way "that offend very many."

"Rush Limbaugh has an audience of 20 million people. A lot of people listen daily to him and live by every word. But words mean things and how you use words is very important," Ridge, the former Homeland Security Secretary under President Bush, said during an interview airing Sunday on CNN's State of The Union.

"It does get the base all fired up and he's got a strong following," Ridge continued. "But personally, if he would listen to me and I doubt if he would, the notion is express yourself but let's respect others opinions and let's not be divisive."

The comments come in the wake of a war of words between Limbaugh and Colin Powell, during which the former secretary of state suggested the GOP's future was in peril if it went in the direction of the popular radio talker. Limbaugh quickly hit back, proclaiming Powell is part of the "stale, the old, the worn-out GOP that never won anything."

I love it. Divide and conquer! This house, the GOP is divided against itself, and cannot stand.

Ridge will get spanked by Limbaugh, and he'll end up either apologizing, or being cast out into the wilderness with Megan McCain, and other moderate Republicans,

In the end, the once bright star of Reagan's "conservative movement" (which stressed hope and the vitality of America, rather than this sad ass, feces-flinging that the party is engaging in currently) has gone nova, blowing off it's outer layer of support and belief. Now, it's fuel expended, the tiny core of the GOP will collapse in upon itself. All that will be left is a dark, dense (really dense, in the mental meaning of the word) core made up of extremist members and hate speech mongering radio hosts...and all they care about is the energy given off by them in the form of ratings and catch phrases... Any new candidates for the GOP, with fresh new, energetic ideas, who stray too close to them will be torn apart by their tidal forces of rhetoric and dogma...

Thus we see the death of the Republican party...

This will continue to marginalize RL and soon he will be back to only the most ditto of dittoheads listening which may well precipitate a loss for Clear Channel for his time slot.

Why are all of you liberals so obsessed with what Rush Limbaugh says on his daily radio show ? You don't even listen to it. I think that he is on nearly 700 stations now. That will probably not change in the near future. Let it go..You would all feel a little better if you had a liberal on the radio that was 1/10 as popular.. You do have tax payer supported PBS to listen to though. enjoy..

       Did Tom Ridge go on CNN to talk about Limbaugh, or was the question asked while he was being interviewed for something else?

After all, every recent story has been criticisms of him by your own, including this story.

We're just laughing at the sideshow.

      Imagine, RML, that every time one of our local left-leaning rational posters said something, it was demanded that they answer for the posts of one of our left-leaning completely irrational posters.  Regardless of topic.  Regardless of whether the consistently smart and rational poster even read, or knew of, the comment from the consistently rabid poster. 

     I'm a wee bit grumpy this morning, RML, so let me know if you can visualize the tables being turned in a smaller venue, before I try moving on with this.
