Rush Tries To Engage Obama Again

If only we could stop opposing Rush, he'd go away. Part of Limbaugh's appeal for his listeners is that his hype and feigned arrogance gets under the skin of people on the left. In Rush, I see a man struggling hard to stay relevant. I also see a talk radio show host.
Think Progress: But the White House’s answer was insufficient for Limbaugh, who is trying to use the issue to mobilize the far right. Writing in the Wall Street Journal today, Limbaugh pens a new question directed at Obama:

Dear President Obama:

I have a straightforward question, which I hope you will answer in a straightforward way: Is it your intention to censor talk radio through a variety of contrivances, such as “local content,” “diversity of ownership,” and “public interest” rules — all of which are designed to appeal to populist sentiments but, as you know, are the death knell of talk radio and the AM band?
