(Updated)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a full disclaimer: I don’t like Rush Limbaugh. I don’t enjoy his programming, his attitude or his incessant partisanship. That being said I’m not in a huff about his existence behind a microphone or the pleasure others take in it. If anything the man serves more as a reliable PR foil for Democrats than as a leader for Republicans.<\/p>\n

What does really irratate me though is the effort of partisan media flaks trying to remove his show from our Armed Forces Network<\/a>. AFN carries all sorts of programming for troops based not on political affiliations but on the popularity of that programming among the under-served demographic of overseas military personnel. So this petition to get Limbaugh taken away from the troops, despite his popularity among those troops, is pretty low.<\/p>\n

Well, good news. There’s a new petition<\/a> for the White House to keep Limbaugh on AFN. The White House’s guidlines say that if a petition reaches 25,000 votes it will give an official response. The petition to censor Limbaugh is a few days old and at about 22k<\/del> over 25k. The petition to retain the popular programming is brand new and under 1k. I’m sure, though, it can rely on a few more clicks via TAH.<\/p>\n
