I've never had a problem with Jay Leno or his Tonight Show before, even when he had Bill O'Reilly on every now and then. But now he's crossed a line.
Next week on prime time television Jay Leno's guest will be, wait for it... Rush Limbaugh!. People like Rush, Coulter, Glenn Beck are too crazy and hateful for mainstream television, especially primetime. People like that should be relegated to Fox News, talk back radio and the internet. They should not be heard by impressionable folks at 10pm.
There are some conservative douchebags who I couldn't care less about being on a primetime talk show - McCain, O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Joe Scarborough. But then there's the next level of conservativism - the hate, racism, just downright mean nastiness and bigotry. THAT is Rush Limbaugh. THAT is Hannity, Beck etc.
I felt disgusted when I saw this on the NBC schedule page. I feel like calling up and sending emails to NBC and saying that they have just lost me as a viewer, though I've never done anything like that before. There's just certain people that should be kept off mainstream airwaves and Rush Limbaugh is one of them.
Sorry for the short diary but I thought you guys should know about this.
