As stupid as a lot of what Rush says is, I'm just not a big fan of teaming up to shout people down, get them fired, etc., over saying stupid things.
The best antidote to idiotic speech is to respond to it with
more intelligent, more persuasive speech, or to highlight the idiocy of the speaker by ridiculing him,
satirizing him, or something along those lines.
I'd prefer that we leave Rush right where he is, and mock him viciously when such is called for, rather than move to silence and rhetorically martyr him by drumming him out of the broadcast booth.
Put another way: people I disagree with have a right to be entertained, too.
