Limbaugh says the Fluke controversy was "orchestrated." Ed Schultz talks with Rep. Terri Sewell, D-AL, and syndicated columnist Connie Schultz about Limbaugh's comments and the GOP's record with female voters (Mar. 13, 2012).
Rush Limbaugh's opponents are starting a radio campaign against him, seizing upon the conservative radio host's attack of the Georgetown law student as a "slut" to make a long-term effort aimed at weakening his business.
Media Matters for America is spending at least $100,000 for two advertisements that will run in eight cities where Limbaugh may be vulnerable, the Associated Press' David Bauder reports.
The ads use Limbaugh's own words about student Sandra Fluke, who told congressional Democrats that contraception should be paid for in health plans provided by private insurers.
Limbaugh, on his radio programs, suggested Fluke wanted to be paid to have sex, which made her a "slut" and a"prostitute." In return for the money, he said Fluke should post videos of herself having sex.
Under sharp criticism, Limbaugh later apologized. But Fluke declined to accept it.
Media Matters claims that 59 companies have specifically asked that their ads be excluded from Limbaugh's show.



You don't have to agree with Rush on everything he says whether it is political or just down right ugly. He offered an apology and she dclined. The declination does not negate the apology. You can not squash free speech. Rush will not go away, his advertisers are still with him. Move on
Whaaa, Whaaa,Whaaaaaa! Time to end the lush limbrain lies and inciting of the moron crazies.
Mom has such a great way with the English language! Her admitted ignorance of Rush does not stop her from making unfounded aspersions on his honesty or his listeners' intelligence or psyche.
Is she really personally attacking Limbaugh listeners or putting us on? Is she really calling him and us names for his calling Fluke a name? Typical mindless hate mocked so ingeniously kinda makes you wonder if she is serious or satirical? Just wonderin'.
This is not squashing free press. Free Press also works the other way around. I as an advertiser am not forced to continue advertising on any medium. It is my choice (and freedom) to decide. If I feel that Mr. Limbaugh is bad for my business because of his vile comments, that's my free choice.
The only person(s) responsible for Rush Limbaugh's radio program losing advertisers is Rush Limbaugh.
Even non-political non-ideological entities can only take so much crap.
Capt. said ignorance of rush. LOL... thats ignorance of ignorance. That's laughable.
AWWwwww Who Gives A Ratts A$$ !!!!! Shut This Goofball DOWN From ALL Airwaves - He AND HIS KIND Are A Detriment To SOCIETY !!!! PERIOD !!!!!!
Max...
Rush Limbaugh did not bother listening to Sandra Fluke's testimony, he assumed she was going to be asking Congress for free contraceptives from the Catholic church, which was nowhere near to the truth... He not only slandered her on the air FOR THREE STRAIGHT DAYS, calling her a 'slut' and a 'prostitute', he openly accused her of asking for free contraceptives so she could have 'care-free sex' for days on end (totally contrary to why she was testifying) and suggested she tape herself having all this great sex and put the videos on the Internet so he and others 'paying for it' could wank themselves off to it!
After he started to get pressure from his advertisers fleeing him in droves, he apologized to her for using 'those two words' to refer to her. He did NOT apologize for mistaking the message of her testimony. He did NOT apologize for maligning her character, only for using 'those two words'... he did NOT apologize for calling her a 'feminazi'... He did NOT apologize for saying she would use her 'free birth control' for unlimited care-free sex. He did NOT apologize for asking her to post porn videos online. He did NOT apologize for saying her parents should be ashamed of her...
After 'apologizing' for using 'those two words' to describe her, he then accused her of being part of a left-wing conspiracy to pull him down, repeating calling her a 'feminazi'... He further accused her of using this whole 'made-up' controversy to destroy him...
He is a delusional, paranoid megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur and invincibility... Rush will only learn that he is not invulnerable, when he faces the NOBODY that he has made of himself...
Hey David, we all have our opinions, and we all believe ours in the only right one. The committee that Fluke unsuccessfully tried to speak to was investigating Obama's misuse of power, part of the reason Fluke was denied. She was also added without the 72 hour notification requirement to speak to a congressional committee.
I heard Fluke was asking for us to pay for her contraceptives through the "Affordable Care Act." because her Jesuit school wouldn't, and she couldn't afford the co-pays through her insurance. Again, we all hear what we want to, I understand!
Your ranting in your last paragraph is supposed to convince us of something, or was it just to make you feel better. It is kinda funny you (MD/MI, forehey, and others) are insulting Rush for his insults!
Again capt you put words into Flukes mouth she never said. And no capt voicing an opinion uses facts when you make up a bunch of lies that were never said by that person is not an opinion it is slander. What people say about Rush is not insulting it is observations on behaviors that person has displayed. Calling someone on their slander and lies is not an insult. Like I said capt you seem to think your brag about being a teacher is taken as fact when reality is your understanding of words and word usage show someone with a below 8th grade education. I don't know of any teachers that display the level of English and math skills that you display because they would never be allowed to teach with the level of skills you have displayed in your posts. Even in Texas, well maybe Mississippi but no where else would you ever have been a teacher.
How callous you are Maxster. Do you really believe he was sincere in his apology ? If you do you're the only one. The guy's a slug. That's the nicest thing I can say about him.
Capt - You write that, "I heard Fluke ..." which is a lie since what you then write was not in her testimony. So it seems you did not hear Fluke say anything and also did not bother to read a transcript of her testimony. It is that simple.
capt knows that he has been given the transcript as well as links to the transcript which he then tried to say was different then what he heard on you tube. capt refuses to hear anything other then what Rush tells him, anything else is a liberal lie to cover up that Fluke was a white house plant.
as i have said before, i listen to rush limbaugh frequently for entertainment purposes.
he constantly brings things up that i have heard on MSNBC or fox, and puts it forth as his own ENLIGHTENED thought. i have also heard him LIE about many things, and then act surprised if "called" on it, by a phone caller.
he is ignorant, and he lies.
Lush hasn't suffered enough. He needs suspended period. Schultz was suspended 2 weeks for his "slut" reference because of right-winged pressure and Olbermann was fired. So the middle ground is somewhere between 1 month suspension or to keep firing shots across Lush's bow until Clear Channel's ship is sunk. Lush might be the righties quarterback and they are expecting him to play in this upcoming election but that doesn't let him off the hook. Either take the suspension or get deep-sixed.
Next it's time to take on FOXNews and all of Murdoch's sponsors for their racist bullsh1t!
sure gary, and then what is going to happen..this is what will happen..people will be going after MSNBC, CNN, Fox and the rest. As much as everyone hates Rush, me included..there will be fallout and every past comment made by opinionated commentators is going to be dragged up. There may not be suspensions or a slap on the wrist..who knows. Everyone has their Political agendas and everyone thinks their agenda is gospel. It will come down to freedom of speech, i will bet my next paycheck on that.
You should be institutionalized for your thinking similar to that fat pig, rush who cant keep a wife. Its this kind of thinking that sinks this country into the toilet. You should be on your knees.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/03/22/health-care-reform-action-one-familys-story
Here is the truth that the repug candidates fail to report on.
That is the point there not moving on ..Maxster the point is that free speech is one thing and slander is another the guy just like Imus should go off the air for what he said ...would you take an apology if someone slandered you? The guy is off his rocker he should quit while he's ahead...
imus isn't off the air.
he has a show on fox.
Imus has the morning show on MSNBC and yes when he called a woman a name he was taken off the air for 2 or 3 weeks.
in 2007, imus, who did have a show on MSNBC then, uttered a racial slur against Rutgers women's basket ball team. they fired him, and he went over there to the fox news business network, where he still works to this day.
Sorry I mixed up morning Joe with Imus who was dropped by MSNBC in 2010.
Media Matters anti-Rush? Next you'll be telling me water is wet. How much money did they spend on Bill Maher?
Oh but Eric, the left sees Bill as funny and an entertainer. They don't see rRush as an entertainer only the enemy. Media matters doesn't matter at all.
To bad for you that Mahers isn't saying what he says on free air waves, Mahers says what he says before a paying audience and paid cable networks which is protected by free speech. Rush is saying what he says on the free air waves which is not protected as free speech as the FCC censors the air waves. So your argument is meaningless. Because radio and TV are censored which is why you can't see porn on TV or hear uncensored music or speech on radio.
I don't see the FCC going after him. Figures you defend Maher
http://www.democraticunderground.com/101713520
I love to listen to this one, over and over......He is not going to let that fool get a word in edgewise.......
No, sorry.....how is what Rush said not protected? Did he use a forbidden word? Did he incite panic? No, he called someone a name and did not break an FCC in doing so. It's a double standard no matter how dizzy you get spinning it.
Figures you can't tell the difference between a comment and a 9-hour a day, 3 day rant.
But why should reality intrude on your world now. It never has before.
You folks do realize you can't get Bill Maher off the air by attacking his sponsors because.....he has no sponsors being on HBO and all.......if you don't want to see bill Maher you can't see Bill Maher.....you have to pay for that....
Rush isn't protected because he has public sponsors Maher does not therefore he is "protected" from any controversial fallout.........you want to start a campaign to get Maher off the air go for it I don't know how you'll be doing that though
They have to sit at home and not watch him, everyday.
Should work.
What Max AND Eric fail to understand is that Ms. Fluke is a private citizen, not a public figure. The right is trying to spin it that she's a plant, but nobody's buying that.
If you make a PUBLIC statement, about PUBLIC policy, then don't expect a response even a nasty one? Sorry, it goes with the territory, I don't think she's a plant, I think she's an idiot.
But shes not the one posting lies about someone on a liberal blog so shes smarter then the average tea bagging republican troll and sure looks smarter then you.
You mean "than you", if your going to call someone not smart, at least use correct grammar, otherwise it makes you look stupid.
Right because a grammar mistake is a good way to discredit someone, except it doesn't as even the greatest writers in history made errors in their grammar as did the founding fathers. There is no such thing as a more perfect union as it is either perfect or it isn't, a mistake in grammar, are you saying the founding fathers were stupid because they made an error in grammar. So again stupidity on parade from a troll.
I just thought it very funny how you calling someone not smart while looking stupid. Maybe you're just dizzy from the spin you put on it? It would be funny if it wasn't sad.
Whom try fact and or logic instead of just names they tend to work better
Now on Rush you can think what ever you want but when you say something on public air waves that anyone can hear and those people don't like what you think, like they really don't like what they think, well expect sponsors attacked.
That's why he should go on Sirius or something because then he can say whatever he wants without having to apologize like Bill Maher.
So I'm glad that there is no anti-Maher let's get him off the air outrage because you can't do it, short of killing Bill Maher, it's just not going to happen. It's not. You can feel however you want about that but any outrage is going to be useless outrage. I myself do not like to hear useless outrage or tragedy fads, once the maximum useful potential of public scrutiny is reached it should just stop.
Right CC, I don't want anyone banned from speaking his opinion but to put a lid on lies and slander like Rush did with Fluke. It is one thing to voice an opinion based on facts but when you make up your own facts to stir up fake outrage over what you made up that has to stop. Just like Karl Rove got put in his place for doctoring a Bill Clinton statement to make it appear Clinton would have done the same as Obama did when in fact he said nothing of the sort, Clinton said in fact that if he would have had to make the decision to take out Bin Laden he hoped he could make the same decision Obama made. That is the kind of garbage that needs to stop and before the FCC was weakened by deregulation no party ever used such blatant dishonesty as what Rove did.
BTW CC being nice to trolls doesn't work nor does giving facts, they will do an end run by avoiding posting anything in reply to you and will post the misinformation on someone elses post that you just gave the facts on.
People who listen to Rush are intolerantly.
Intolerant,
ignorant
bigots.
A
sane,
smart
person
would
turn
him
off.
Mom, and that's te way Rush will go away if people turn him off. He and his show are market driven.
Yeah, unlike Ed who have Union money.
Ed was never caught coming back from a pedophile vacation with illegal prescription drugs and Viagra now was he but ole Rush was. So once again we get a tea bagging republican troll making up things untrue about Ed and the unions to protect a drug addicted child rapist.
Gee, Eric, you threw out the only fact you have. Ed Schultz got a one-time contribution of $200,000, half of which he gave away. That's certainly a lot compared to Limbaugh's advertisers and Limbaugh's 44 million a year.
Lighten up Max & Eric - don't you see Mom and Palm are demonstrating intolerance with their posts!
Both are great examples - Mom of mass name calling (Intolerant, ignorant, bigots) and baseless personal defamatory remarks, - Palm of intolerance by being intolerant!
It's even better when whom and Chris come in to confirm what I am sayin'!
Chirs is such a great example of baseless name calling!
What Rush said was terrible and have never listened to him, just pointing out the hypocrisy. Ed doesn't deny taking the Union money either, but nice try. Apology accepted ;)
And Tokyo Rose enters the discussion. What's the matter, did you think Max and Eric need help from a professional liar?
I call it like I see it.
No Chris, just thought I'd join in. I am sorry about mixing you and whom up. I meant whom is great at name calling. You are just making a great comparison of Rush and Ed's followings, based on the market. Remember, Rush gives his honorariums away too!
Hey, got to earn my Koch bucks for today!
So says the pot who is blacker then black. Now watch capt rewrite cry racism.
You know, Crappy, you consistently confuse me and whom. Taken together with all your other remarks, it could be evidence of early-onset Alzheimers.
What do you think?
Oh, that's right.
Whom - if you are referring to Eric's comments about Ed accepting union money, how is it that a lie? Or in your words "So once again we get a tea bagging republican troll making up things untrue about Ed and the unions." I thought that it was a known fact Ed accepted speaking fees from a union(s), half of which he gave the charity? Now we can debate the merits of Ed doing that all day, but the fact is it true.
Also, has someone who pretends to pride themselves on honesty and integrity I find it funny how many baseless accusations you throw around on a daily basis. Accusing someone of going a "pedophile vacation" and referring to someone as a "child rapist" are pretty serious charges, in fact I find it as offensive as calling someone a "slut." Just curious on what evidence you have to prove those wild accusations against Rush? My guess is none...and that you are simply trying to smear him because you disagree with him.
Whom, you are hypocrisy at it's finest.
Chris - I see you are still up your same old tricks, juvenile name calling and school yard bully tactics to attempt to intimidate and discredit anyone who doesn't agree with you. Names like "Crappy," referring to someone as having Alzheimer's, I also saw where you hoped someone would outlive Capt....wow you seem to be a real class act.
Don't come here and try to preach junior. You want to hear name calling? Go over to fake news my boy and see what goes on over there. If you candy asses make ignorant statements or outright lie then expect to be called on it. If you can't take it then don't let the back door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
Hi John!
I've been to a few con sites. They even sound tame in comparison to the white supremists sites although they do go to the con sites to really vent. The crap I read is probably best not to be posted here. Just read one I saved. Not a chance.
The Vine is a 1 and these others sites are a 10+ on a 1-10 scale. The hate is unbelievable.
John - I couldn't care less what happens on the "fake news" sites you are referring to, I don't post on there nor do I endorse the type of rhetoric you are referring to. If you think it is garbage there, then it is garbage here. Quit pointing fingers, everyone is responsible for their own words - no excuse for name calling and personal attacks (isn't that a rule here anyway.
There is a difference between calling someone on a lie or debating facts and opinions and then using name calling and schoolyard bully tactics in attempt to intimidate and censor someone - which is your specialty. I am just doing what you do, or claim that you do, calling out lies and ignorant statements - I just happen to call out your liberal buddies because people like you won't. You, like most liberals, don't care about civility or integrity - only about your own message.
I'm curious John, would you and the other liberals in here call me out if I referred to Ed Schultz as "child rapist" like Whom called Rush? No need to answer, I already know what it is.
Like I stated above, if you make an ignorant statement then expect to be called on it and that goes for lies. If you people come here and expecting us to buy the BS rhetoric and misinformation you trolls put out day after day then you get what you ask for. And as for Whom, he's entitled to his own opinion just like Oyxrush (and I suspect he may be right). Are you trying to stop his right to free speech?
No, I am not against free speech, but you know that - you are just trying to portray me as something that I am not for your argument. I am against the hypocrisy and censorship that the left loves to preach. Whom is entitled to his opinion - but like you said if you make ignorant statements be prepared for the backlash, which in this case is slander. You seem to like and pick and choose when rules, morality, and rights apply and don't according to your best interest - hypocrisy at it's best.
Hypothetically John, I could refer to you as a "child molester" and that would be considered free speech in your eyes - even with no evidence, proof, etc? Someone I don't think you would see it that way.
You mean the same way teabaggers try and portray the Dems of being anti american, anti gun, socialist and communist? That was my whole point. Slander? Careful, your defense of Oxyrush is bringing out the Drama queen in you. If thats what you consider slander then Rushbo would have to sue half of this country. By they way, what proof did your buddy have when he called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute?
Loose Canon-Censorship is when you are prevented from saying what you choose. It's pretty obvious from the reaction you and others get from us that NO ONE is censoring ANYONE. So, in the spirit you hate, I have to call you a liar.
Additionaly, I have absolutely no intention of being polite to liars and propagandists. Just because you and others spread misinformation in a civil way, doesn't mean you are going to be treated as anything other than what you are. What's bothering you is you aren't getting away with it.
Nor will you.
That's why Rush and Fox don't let liberals on their sites. They don't like getting called on it, either. Perhaps you need a more controlled environment where the truth never gets in. Then you can just listen to the sound of your own voice, and like they do on Limbaugh's site, just say "ditto, ditto, ditto" all day long.
Like most Republicans, the only free speech you like is your own.
John - so you are an anti-american, free-loading, big government communist and I am a racist, anti-woman, bigot, who only cares about the wealthy - wow so it works both ways, lets keep going in circles. However, to justify your own behavior on someone else is absurd (i.e. Fox's blogs are worse, so I should get a free pass to do whatever I want here).
I also can't remember defending Rush's comments, although I'm sure you would like me to. He shouldn't have used that language, but this has simply become the opening the left wanted in an attempt to censor Rush...and if you think I am being a "drama queen" you should scroll through some of the comments here about Fluke getting an attorney, suing Rush, Rush should be banned from radio etc. etc.
Again, Rush should not have used those words, but calling someone a name is an opinion right or wrong..."free speech" as I believe you called it. Claiming that you engaged in a specific act (i.e sex with children like Whom did) is a little more serious in my opinion. But again, you are content to justify your or someone else's behavior with the "he did it first mentality." Rush called Fluke a bad word, so it is OK for someone to call him a pedophile?
In my opinion, you don't care anything about this issue - you don't care that Fluke was called those names, you don't care about civility, morality, etc. You don't care about doing the right thing - you only care about the smear campaign against Rush and those who don't believe what you do. It shows in your posts - in your weak attempt to defend Whom's disgusting posts. They are both wrong John, you can admit it.
The only reason my posts are disgusting to you is they are based on facts and not on some drug addicted child molester. Whats the matter can't handle the truth that the GOP and their supporters are filthy perverts, that isn't the lefts fault it is a sickness caused by power trips the more power a person gets the more perverted he becomes. It is well documented in medical journals as well as in the news how power and perversion go hand in hand.
Chris - I am curious what misinformation I spread - or is it just information that you don't agree with? I'm not trying to get away with anything - I give people ample opportunity to debate and am always respectful to those who command respect. Tell me what you think I am trying to get away with?
Why I called you out Chris, is not that you disagree with me or other conservatives, but the way you go about it. You attempt to justify your behavior by blaming others (Rush, Fox, etc.) with the "they do it to" mentality, which frankly I don't care about - I am talking about this site. You claim to be fighting liars and propagandists - but the majority of your posts are simply name calling and personal attacks with very little, if any, facts. Frankly, all I see you do is follow guys like Capt. making absurd posts and then pretend you are some truth fighter on here.
Say whatever you want, I am not the moderator, can't enforce rules and frankly I don't care all that much - honestly if that is how you want to portray yourself that is your business...but I will call a spade a spade if nobody else will.
Oh wow...Whom, honestly you can't be serious? You have no facts whatsoever, you are clearly just making things up and referencing unnamed "medical journals" and "news" as a source.
So according to these "medical journals" and the "news" the more power a person has, the more perverted they become, so with that reasoning President Barack Obama, the most powerful man in the free world is therefore also the biggest pervert in the world?
I'll tell you what - when you produce evidence of Rush being a child molester I will produce my evidence. Good Luck!
Chris - another point, if you have no intention of being polite to who, in your opinion, are liars and propagandists (i.e making personal attacks, name calling, etc.) then I would assume you have no issue with Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute?"
Sandra Fluke is neither a liar nor a propagandist, nor did she appear on Limbaugh's show, nor did she say anything TO Limbaugh. He attacked her because he is both a liar AND a propagandist.
Can you see the difference?
I would also like to say I view Crappedon America in a completely different light than the other righties on this site. I think what he does is with calculation and purpose.
Nah Chris capt is just a low intelligence person trying to prove he is smarter then everyone. He is just an average troll trying to pretend he is above average.
Junior, no one wanted to sensor your hero. With a psychotic paranoid drug addict like Oxyrush all we have to do is give him enough rope and he'll hang himself, which he did.
And Junior, If you're that sensitive and take mine or someone's criticisms as 'bullying' then find another site. That, or I can pay for your therapy or maybe you can just grow a set.
BOOM!
Chris - the only difference is how you personally view the matter and the people involved. This is all opinion Chris - personally I think Fluke is a fraud and a propagandist as do many including Limbaugh. He has every right to call BS on her testimony, as you have a right to your opinions. If you feel name calling is justified so be it, but don't try to rationalize you doing it and calling someone out for doing the same thing.
Welll get some help for that the yellow pages have lots of shrinks that you could seek treatment from to help you get over your paranoid delusions.
John - I just call your, what in my opinion, is crap when I see it. I personally don't care what you call me or if you tell me to grow a set or what - I wouldn't come in here if I did. Every time you make some classless comment like that you further prove my point...you have nothing to say.
Whom - I'll see you there then buddy...any new "proof" on Rush this morning?
It's amazing how you ignore what I actually say, and just repeat the same reply, again and again.
Endlessly repeating the same comments over and over will not make them true.
At least not here.
I assume it's what worked on you, when you were programmed by your right-wing leaders. They spew the same nonsense over and over, and eventually you believe it.
In all honesty Chris, what point am I missing or how am I ignoring what you are saying? No need for personal attacks, we are adults here.
As apposed to you who were programmed by Ed, who is in the Unions pocket. I mean really, can you trust him to report on anything regarding Unions anymore? He has crossed the line from any real reporting to simply being a mouth piece for Unions. I know Rush is entertainment and his opinion, Ed is the same, but when Ed calls a woman a "slut" we didn't have days of outrage followed my Media Matters throwing money to get him off the air.
Eric - just more hypocrisy and double standards from the left. Then when in doubt make a personal, and unsubstantiated attack - then attempt to provide some absurd justification for why their behavior is acceptable. Comical.
Once again we see another example of the mental disorder that righties keep displaying. They just can't grasp that unlike them liberals do not take Ed's word on anything. Then he goes back to the apples and oranges comparison, Ed said it once Rush repeated his lie for 3 days 9 hours a day. Ed called the woman a right wing slut do to her behaviors on air. Rush not only called Fluke a slut but a prostitute and it wasn't due to Fluke's behavior or even what she said about herself but rather for telling the stories of women she knew and none of what Fluke said had anything to do with sex or sexual behavior. What Rush said was made up in Rush's perverted mind by Rush. What are you dumber than a 5th grader? The only double standard is coming from the people who are defending Rush, if a liberal says slut once means that a conservative can say slut a few hundred times over a 3 day period, that is a double standard.
See, this is what I mean by repeating the same stupid thing over and over. You know it isn't true, but you just keep saying it. And then Canon takes it up and repeats the same misinformation.
ONE MORE TIME. Ed said what he said ONCE. He apologized the next day. He then went on a one-week suspension. THAT'S why you don't have days of outrage.
Are you going to repeat the same misinformation again?
As Loose Canon said, comical.
Whom - I am still waiting on those facts regarding Rush...
Also, where do you draw the line between how many times someone is called a name before you find it offensive? Apparently once is OK with you, but multiple times is not? Is 3 OK, what about 5? Or is really just based open party lines Whom?
Spin away cannon still don't change the fact Ed said slut 1 time and got a week suspension for punishment. Rush on the other hand called a woman who said nothing about her sex life or claimed to use birth control, not only did Rush call her names for 3 days 9 hours a day but made up her entire sex life without knowing a thing about her sex life and he still hasn't gotten any time off as punishment. That is the double standard and hypocrisy of the right in action.
Whom - no spin here, I just asked you for facts regarding your statement...which you seem to be avoiding. I don't agree with Ed, Rush, or anyone else, including people in here, calling names or making personal attacks. This is not a political issue, as many, including yourself are trying to make it.
If you have a problem with what Rush said and assuming things about Fluke's sex life, why are you OK with doing the exact same thing to Rush?
Really Rush wasn't caught coming back alone from the Dominican Republic, a well known child sex trade country, with Oxycontin and Viagra that were prescribed to someone other then himself, which is called drug trafficking. Or that Norm Woodruff an openly gay man and Rush had a brief heated affair? Lets see that is the same as what Rush made up about Flukes sex life without anything more then Flukes testimony about the hardships women she know that needed birth control for health issues other then birth control whose insurance tried to drop by using religion as their excuse even though they had been covering the cost until recently. And your not defending Rush, ROFLMAO
Wow, you are a regular Nancy Drew...I asked for FACTS Whom - not your OPINION based on your own second rate detective skills. This may come as shock to you, but unfortunately you can have sexual contact with children almost anywhere - it is on the news almost daily.
I am not defending Rush's comments in regards to Fluke - I am defending him against you, a common liar. When you make up lies and make slanderous comments based on zero evidence you are just as bad as the people you claim to despise - no matter how delusional you become in trying to justify it. Once again you have proven you care nothing about facts - you are nothing but a liar and hypocrite.
Really that is your excuse, a lying tea bagging republican coming onto a liberal blog to spread misinformation and now you are worried about a liberals honesty but you get a free pass? Really you want to make a case based on that. Wow how dishonest can you get. And you are just protecting Rush against people doing what Rush gets paid for doing 9 hours a day unbelievable if you think you are going to get away with that.
Whom - Like I told Chris earlier, feel free to give an example of any lies or misinformation I personally spread - he didn't provide any and I am sure you can't either. I am not sure how I can make this any clearer - I don't support liars and hypocrites - which you are. You keep falsely pushing the idea I am a defending Rush in regards to Fluke, therefore knocking me down to your level of lies and hypocrisy, which I have not and will not do. I am only defending him against your lies and the left's hypocrisy in general.
Amazing how you throw all into one barrel
What barrel is that? The lush limbrain barrel of stupidity, brainwashing lies ?
No one else can fit in a barrel with Limbaugh.
We all admire his girth as well as his wit! He is on during the day, targeting an adult audience. Might explain why some misunderstand him so much!
No, I think his listeners understand his hate-filled rants quite well.
So did Hitler's.
Shhhhhh Chris capts hiding his brown shirt under the sheet.
Gosh whom and Chris, thought you guys had joined the posse to lynch Zimmerman! Did you remember to take your rope and hoods? Make sure to follow the code!
And you would have given a child killer a medal, correct Kapt?
No, he'd be standing in front of him, defending his right to murder children.
Crappy, can you type without taking off the robe? Can you see without taking off the hood? You're the one defending the right of a white man to murder a black child.
Always fighting the good fight, aren't you, Crappedon. Like I told you before, you're a disgrace to your uniform.
And I don't mean the robe and the hood.
Ok, so what he's saying is, that the Democrats MADE HIM say bad things about Sandra? I thought he was a 'right-winger' and "GOD" has everything planned?? Everything is a GIFT, remember, even a child from a horrible RAPE!! Remember?? God has everything planned, and that includes Obama, and everything they are complaining about, including the doctors that are giving safe, sterile abortions... (The Republicans should be happy, because they are the highest with teenage pregnancies... LOL) And I'M A REPUBLICAN!! But I'm tired of their crap. They are all taking some kind of 'crazy' meds or something, because they are all out of touch with reality. I'd leave the party, but if I do, it'll be like giving in to the loonies...
Maybe you and Olympia Snow can start a new party, like "Rational Republicans."
Love it!! I'm in... Wait, let me make a 'Will' first...these guys are NUTS!! LOL
And you guys are funny! Fairy, your logic is hard to follow. If, as you say, your god is in control, he plans everything, even horrible rapes and Obama becoming president! Is your god evil, or just playing with us? Got to admit I love the "Will" pun! Thanks!
I would like the reference showing Republicans have the highest teen pregnancy rates. Just askin'.
At least she has logic capt all we get out of you is spins and lies.
Captain, here it is, and BTW, thank you for your service!!
This is what they said:
The New York Times recently published insightful comparative statistics on RED states and BLUE states and their ranking on divorce, teen birth rates and porn subscriptions. Interestingly enough, the RED states win! States that vote Democratic tend to have lower divorce rates, lower teen pregnancy rates and lower porn subscription rates.
Does this mean Sarah Palin was right when she said the red states are the ‘pro-America’ parts of the country?Mike Stobbe with the Associated Press reports Mississippi now has the nation’s highest teen pregnancy rate, displacing Texas and New Mexico for that lamentable title, according to a new federal report recently released. Mississippi’s rate was more than 60 percent higher than the national average in 2006, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The teen pregnancy rate in Texas and New Mexico was more than 50 percent higher. (See chart below)
Ironic isn’t it?
Those who vote for people to legislate morality cannot maintain those standards in their own lives. And the states preaching ‘family values’ have the highest divorce rate; the Bible belt leads the way! Also the RED states pay very little in taxes while BLUE states pay the highest.

I can't PROVE it, and as everything else on the internet, you have to take it with a grain of salt...(and a shot of tequila, followed by a lime...) LOL
Hi Fairy:
Here's another Red-Blue State article:
http://kathetacoma.newsvine.com/_news/2012/03/08/10613975-ayn-rand-worshippers-should-face-facts-blue-states-are-the-providers-red-states-are-the-parasites
Ayn Rand was a DINO (neo-con...heavy on the "con" with her) and cold b!tch.
Thanks Fairy, I will try to research that farther. I disagree with those trying to legislate morality, but it did seem to work with desegregation. I still want the government out of my personal decisions, like abortion.
T/C, I have seen the states chart before, Texas seems to be losing ground lately. Seems we would be better off seceding! Thanks for the link!
Marlene (10) - "Limbaugh's description of Flucke being a slut and a prostitute," has some logic behind it! Whether you agree with him or not, isn't a prostitute one who does it for money? That's what he was saying, why do you disagree?
I think, "Sandra Fluckes public persona," fits with his description, but that is my opinion, you are free to have yours. I do find it hypocritical for you to call Rush names (arrogant misogynist) for his calling Fluke names.
BTW, I understand how you perceive Rush as arrogant, but on what basis do you call him a misogynist? What has he ever said that makes you think he hates women? Just askin'.
Gee, Cappy, and I know this is a sore spot with you, but you seem to have forgotten ALL ABOUT Limbaugh saying the way to pronounce Sharon Bialek's (one of the MANY women who accused Herman Cain of sexual assault) name was Buy a Lick.
Misogynist enough for you?
Or maybe not. You would probably consider it "part of the discussion."
Hey, here's an interesting fact. You say your own wife doesn't like Limbaugh. Guess why.
"repub" states have the highest rate of teen pregnancy, abortions, and porn subscriptions.
arizona, mississippi, new mexico, texas, florida, california, georgia, N.C., arkansas.
I am sure right wing nut is an accurate description of Laura Ingraham, unlike Limbaugh's description of Flucke being a slut and a prostitute..Ingraham has a public persona of being a Leaning far right ...Sandra Fluckes public persona does not apparently fit Limbaugh's description..What else can we expect from this arrogant misogynist...
Ya know, it wasn't so much him calling her a 'slut' as it was that he REFUSED to pay for her birth control, THEN said he would if she would post a video of her having sex on the internet... WTF?? Which way are ya goin' there, pal?? He tries to be this great person and then just takes his foot out and replaces it with his other foot... He's a hypocrite, as always...
Maybe you have to have a lobotomy to be a Republican, and they did it while I lived in Italy for 10 years.... Let me check on that...BRB
ce:
Lush has had 4 "wives". He has no children. How could he not know that birth control is one-pill-a-day? Shooting blanks?
I think there's a lot more to Lush than what he lets on. He would lose his job as the GOP rodeo clown pushing the bull if he "came out" with the truth.
lots of men don't know how their wives take birth control, all they want to know is IF she is taking it or not.
I don't even like Bill Mahar, don't think he is funny and i still think Rush is a disgusting Pig that should just shut the @!$%# up.
Hey cece, why should "all women ... be offended?" Rush was remarking on Fluke's request for us to pay for her birth control. I did like your, "three or four wives snicker snicker," comment!
FSF, you statement, "you have to have a lobotomy to be a Republican, and they did it while I lived in Italy for 10 years," concerns me! You had lobotomies for 10 years, now that's got to hurt! Just like this post, Rush was joking about the video. His show is on during the day because his target audience is adults. Some here need to grow up, or at least think like an adult.
Thanks K/T and DEB for those typically vile liberal comments! Do all liberals enjoy making such vulgar and profane comments? I can understand why you like Bill M, why are you so offended by Rush L? Just askin'.
Why do you assume i am liberal ? Why because i said he is a pig.? I think i said i didn't like B.M. and if The Pig had apologized and then stopped talking about it everyday, I might feel differently about him....How can he say anything about anybody, when he is a drug addict,been married 4 times and is a hate monger..UGH ! Never assume anything Captain.
Rush is making a lot of money and you libs must listen and add to his bank account. The more shock the more listeners. He knows how to make money and has over 14 million listeners and that is what really ticks you guys off. He is a great marketer and that is why he won't lose his advertisers. And the ones he did lose will be back when the heat clears because they love money too. Ed just can't stand the fact that Rush's market share is so much more than his.
@Captain America USMC I can't believe you would admit ti being a listener of this mans' program.
Hey, I'm a good and moral Christian guy who enjoys his humor! Vanessa if you (like my wife) doesn't want to listen, don't. Just let those of us that do, do! Hey, it's all in fun to my way of thinkin'!
Sieg Heil, Captain! It's all in fun!
the first thing that a dictator does to gain and maintain power is to silence all opposing voices
Hitler did it
Stalin did it
Mao Tse-Tung did it
And we all know how those dictatorships turned out
So go ahead and campaign to have some one silenced just remember when you take away the rights of one you take away that right for all
Reagan did GWB did oh yeah thats right you can't seem to grasp those facts. Or did you forget GWB and his purity oaths that had to be taken where ever GWB spoke or how about any T shirts with opposing Messages that weren't GOP approved lead to arrests and expulsions from GOP events. Funny how righties were screaming that Ed should have been fired for calling Ingram a media whore ( a truth based on her willingness to tell lies for money ) 1 time on air but rush to Limpbaughs defense after lying about someone speaking an opposing view then his, Not once but for 3 days 9 hours a day. The only time righties seem to worry about free speech is when it doesn't allow them to slander others.
GWB's people also demanded people's social security numbers so they could check them out, wrote down people's license plate numbers and when they found a John Kerry button in a teenager's wallet, they threw him and his whole family out.
Sick of hearing Rush Limbaugh?
1. change channel.
2. if problem persists, turn radio off.
3. if problem still persists, seek psychiatrist.
If you listen to rush and believe his lies and slanders are telling you the conservative truth then
1) seek professional help your are suffering from delusions and are refusing to see the reality of GOP actions
2) After seeing a shrink as well as taking your daily doses of physic meds that you still believe in Rush's drug induced as the voice of reason ask the shrink to put you into a mental ward before you take action based on a drug addicts that leads you into blowing up day care centers as an act of revenge for liberal attacks on Rush, all made up in the delusional minds of easy to convince people of low intelligence
3) If you look at todays economy and blame liberals and democrats for it instead of seeing that the Economy was deliberately set up to sacrifice the middle class for the born wealthy to gain more wealth by a paranoid self destructive GOP president and a delusional movie actor who suffered from dementia that the GOP elected president and that either one of these mentally ill men were great leaders then that just proves you need professional mental help
4) if none of these work just go off into the woods and become a hermit as you will never be more then a leach on society or worse elect more people who suffer from mental illness
5) That you suffer from mental illness is very clear because you come onto a liberal blog to post attacks on liberals as well as liberal candidates as well as attacks on left leaning media personalities then whine that your delusional thinking isn't accepted or wanted and when liberals put you in your place you whine you are being bullied fact of the matter is it is you who are trying to bully liberals and the whining comes from it not working
6) Symptoms of delusional disorders are a false belief that you are right and everyone around you is wrong no matter what evidence that in fact shows you as being wrong you insist that you are right.
A false belief in ones own greatness or exceptionable life when reality is you are neither great or exceptional, you are just an average Joe scraping by day to day who brags about being both great and exceptional with no way of proving either.
A false belief that everyone in the world is just like you are or they are just jealous that they aren't like you, that is also a sign of an over inflated ego, reality is you the reason you believe this is you seek out others exactly like yourself so everyone around you looks like you, talks like you. thinks like you and shares the same beliefs as you which you then mistake as everyone shares your traits again reality is you avoid people who are different then you and leads you to suffer from paranoia which in turn feeds fear of "others".
8) People like you show signs of mental instability, they tend to become a danger to themselves and others, they buy guns and join para military groups filled with other paranoid conservatives with beliefs that the "others" are coming after them, so they are protecting their way of life from invasion. Which people like Rush got rich from feeding you paranoid delusions.
The problem isn't that we don't like Rush Limbaugh. The problem is you do.
That about sums up the US 42 year economic disaster doesn't it? They keep looking for the solution to the problem and all along they are the problem which they can not solve because it would require admitting its them that is the problem. Or better known as a circular firing squad.
If it's a circular firing squad, WHY CAN'T THE Y HIT ANYTHING?
Bad aiming skills. They keep missing everything.
Translation: You don't think like us and we don't like that.
Limbaugh has no credability what so ever with people who think for themselves or have a degree of intellect. He is a wing nut blow hard that appeals to the weak minded extreme right that needs to be told what to think, evangelicals, tea baggers, racests, and red neck goobers who " got a 8th grade grageeation certifigate ". He gets paid very well for it and if they paid me half of his salery I'd blow crap to these idiots too. Someone's got to do it.
OK XMarine - How do know the IQ of Rush's audience, seems you mindless rant is rather base, don't you think? Someone is appealing to the less intelligent. You might want to consider you sources of information, at lot of folks here don't think Fluke was asking to get her contraception medication "at no cost to herself."
Looking directly at the transcripts, and not listening to any "spin," anyone can see she is demanding financial assistance, starting in the 1st Paragraph (testify on behalf of the women who will benefit from the Affordable Care Act contraceptive coverage regulation). She continues in the 4th -
- demanding financial assistance for her "contraceptive coverage." In the next (5th), she thanks -
- those who will provide it. She they explains the financial burden in the next -
- I could go on, but there are some that will never accept she was asking for someone else to pay for her sexual promiscuity. Like you described those that, "got a 8th grade grageeation certifigate." You probably don't make -"half of his salery." but you certainly - "blow crap to these idiots." Are you talking those of us on this spot?
Thanks God there are those in the media, like Rush, that will stand up and speak for the millions in this country that believe it is wrong to encourage this promiscuity on our collage campuses. There are still some that see the moral degeneration in this country!
BTW - what do you mean XMarine? Did you have some problem in the corps? Just askin'
