Al Sharpton Wants the FCC to Take Rush Limbaugh Off the Air (VIDEO)

Appearing on 'The Ed Show' (weekdays, 6PM ET on MSNBC) Al Sharpton called on the FCC to take Rush Limbaugh off the air, citing examples of allegedly racist comments the right-wing radio host has made about President Obama and Congressman Jim Clyburn.

"Rush Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants to say, he does not have the right to do it on the public regulated airwaves," Sharpton told Ed Schultz.

"The FCC has the responsibility to set standards to say the public can not be offended based on their race and their gender in this country and use federally regulated airwaves that (the FCC) gives licenses to."

Although Sharpton plans to meet with the FCC to discuss the matter, his appeal seems to have a very small chance for success. However, his attempt to do so should certainly give polemicists a topic of conversation with which to fill our federally regulated airwaves.
