Robert Underhill of "Under the Hill" deaf blogger posted Mike McConnell's photo submitting of Rush Limbaugh, the turned-deaf conservative radio show host on his blog for the DeafRead blog sphere. Real grateful to Robert Underhill for sharing the photo of Rush Limbaugh with cochlear implant device use.
I finally took some time to check out the official site of Rush Limbaugh's radio show to see if Rush Limbaugh provide any accessible means from his website for the *hearing-impaired* web users in mockery manner. Guess what?
Rush Limbaugh only provide the audio files for the members-only. What about other deaf and hard of hearing members being denied to such access without able to understand what Rush babble on his radio show?

The Deaf America must get together to disassociate with Rush Limbaugh in fear of damaging the reputation of deaf people in general.
President Barack Obama is technically our first "deaf" president since he and his administration actively reached out to the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) to be inclusive in the decision-making process what we, deaf people would benefit from the Obama-Biden administration. Obama frequently engage in physical touchings on people resemble much like culturally deaf people.
Rush Limbaugh publicly stated "I would like to see the Obama presidency failed" and urged many Republicans to be obstructionists, not the collective solvers of our many national problems.
How sad of any individuals like Rush Limbaugh urge the GOP people to sabotage the real national needs for long-term solutions to get our country back on feet!
Real embarrassment of someone deaf like Rush Limbaugh give such an image of our own deaf people in that manner! It's time for us, Deaf America to disown
Rush Limbaugh as a deaf person and send the strong message to the American society at large that we, deaf people are all together to build the healthy and stronger America in very long run.
Rush Limbaugh do not represent us, deaf Americans in any manner. Let's give Rush Limbaugh a real taste of Deaf America by calling and emailing the U.S. Congress and the Obama-Biden presidency to slash any Medicaid and government funding on cochlear implant surgery and hearing loss studies.
We really could not afford such things like cochlear implant surgery and continuous and fruitless hearing loss and restoration studies within this current economic climate.
Cochlear implantees and Alexander Graham Association of the Deaf (AGBad) could put the whole blame on Rush Limbaugh for the loss of government money on cochlear implant surgery and training and hearing loss/restoration studies.
Don't you agree? That is a time for the rough and tumble politics to teach Rush Limbaugh a big time! I really don't care about his politics, but find Rush real saddening about loving himself too much. What a human being!
ASLize yours,
