Seems like a double standard to me. If you are a public figure, then it's open season on you to be called anything in the book, but if you are an ordinary citizen getting involved in the public platform , then you cry foul.

:agree:

GREAT IDEA! Why didn't I think of that?!?! Oh that's cuz I don't watch him.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
Returning the favor with advice for you... If you don't like what Rush has to say...STOP LISTENING!!!! :crap2:

WOW...that was EASY!

Never listened to him, never planned to ever listen to him. Just assumed you watch Bill Maher all the time, since you seem to be so well informed about his comments.

Five more advertisers have pulled their ads from Rush's show bringing the total now to 20. At this rate Limbaugh would be lucky to land "Hustler" magazine, Frederick's of Hollywood and the Voyeur's Club for Middle-Aged Corpulent Cads to buy time on his daily sexual star chamber.

Nope, not well informed until the whole Rush thing came up. Don't really listen to Rush either, but most of what I have heard from Rush is right on! I DO NOT CONDONE his recent comments tho.
Let sponsors pull their ads, that may bring other sponsors to the table. Pretty sure Rush could afford to go it alone also. It's not always easy or popular to stand for what you think is right.

Right so Sandra Fluke only needed contraceptives at Georgetown Law during her third year of law school? She just waited to fall in love until the 2012 Election loomed?

And, then... Rush Limbaugh just had to make a fool of himself by rushing into the fray??

Actually the Democrats had someone else to speak for the Congressional committee on this topic. It was a guy named Barry Lynn who the Democrats presented as a witness to help make their case for the imposing of unconstitutional mandates that the Church must provide contraceptives to it's university students. He was vetted and cleared to testify.

The Democrats then changed the program and insisted that the unvetted Sandra Fluke testify as they wanted to put a women's face on the issue and this 30 year old political women's right activist, who has also fought to have employers pay for trans-gender surgery for it's employees, testify.

The Republicans, per Rep. Issa, refused this last minute addition of the unvetted Ms. Fluke and in response Nancy Pelosi conducted a news conference set up to look like a Congressional hearing to present Ms. Fluke in her call for "free contraceptives for everyone" at the Roman Catholic Church's expense.

Sandra Fluke, this 30-year-old birth control activist then gives unverified and inexpert testimony about how Georgetown's long-standing and public policy has hurt her unnamed friends.

The Democrats used Sandra Fluke to create a controversy, while Sandra Fluke used them to advance her agenda, which is to force a religious institution to abandon their principles in order to meet hers.

This is all a ploy to resurrect for public consumption that oldie but goodie "The Republicans hate women" mantra. This is supposed to turn around polls indicating that Obama has lost ground among women voters.

I don't know what polls you've been reading. The latest ones I've seen say republicans have lost 18 points of support from suburban women in the last few weeks. The drop could be the result of the state-madated vaginal probe laws as well as Rush's tirade.

Sandra Fluke was exercising her first amendment right to speak when she testified. It doesn't matter what her motives or background may be. Rush Limbaugh also has the same first amendment right to speak, which he has been exercising for the past 20 years, but he's not allowed to make slanderous comments.

There are polls besides the ones with slanted questions issued by left wing media to falsely give the impression of an Obama rebound greater than it is.

Actually though, Obama's rebound, no matter how much, among women voters bolsters my argument that this contraceptives debate was begun for this very purpose.

(You really really love to keep writing about "vaginal probes", don't you. What ever happened to the proper and long used correct medical designation "sonogram". I guess it doesn't sound "evil" enough.)

The crazy thing is that these extremists want you to believe that God is guiding them in this hate.

What extremists are you talking about who have said they are on a mission from God?

I'd like to read that.

This entire "contraceptive" media/Liberal driven off topic message, is nothing more than to distract from the failure of Obamacare and to take the financial mess that Obama has delivered, and the inability to deal with it out of the public eye. Hence, NO BUDGET for over 1000 days and counting.

The last, was voted down in flames by the Democrat controlled Senate, and therefore, will not be dealt with because it shows the agenda.

Here's the link to those polls I mentioned:

Who are the ones that brought up this entire " contraceptive" issue? The state legislature in MS that tried to pass a personhood amendment; Gov Bob McDonald R-VA who wrote the state-madated vaginal-probe law now being passed by the state legislature; Rep candidate Rick Santorum, who said states have the right to ban contraception; Rush Limbaugh, who called a young woman a slut and prostitute because she was exercising her first amendment right to testify before congress, etc etc.

President Obama must be a political genius if he got republicans to take this bait, because women are deserting the GOP in droves.

Guest 03-06-2012 01:09 PM

Make that 23 advertisers that have dropped Rush Limbaugh.

There so much wrong with your post beginning with you calling Nancy Pelosi's press conference as "testifying before Congress". The 30 year old "women's activist" was speaking to the media. It's was not a Congressional hearing.

The "personhood" law is a separate debate of when does life begin. You want to get into that again? The use of a sonogram is a medical tool, and it's not always necessary to illustrate the progression of the separate and distinct life within the woman. A simple ultrasound is usually sufficient. The use of the term "trans-vaginal is being use by liberal abortion rights activists, like you, to inflame the situation by transforming the sonogram into a form of "forced rape".

Saying Rick Santorum want's to "ban contraception" is a lie propagated by his enemies.

As Ronald Reagan would have said "There she goes again"

Rick Santorum is only defending the First Amendment Rights of the Church, and nothing more.

Rush has apologized for his poor choice of words in his comments. Of course that's not good enough for the rabid leftists who see this as another chance to silence the most effective voice in the conservative media in 20 years. I won't defend him again to you, as it's pointless.

It was a committee hearing that MS Fluke testified at, not a press conference, after she was not allowed to testify by Rep Darrell Issa, R-CA.

I believe a sonogram is performed on the outside of a woman's body, as opposed to a trans-vaginal probe. This is what Gov Bob McDonald's law proposes. Call it what it is. I thought republicans, and especially tea-partiers, were against government intrusion. This is government intrusion in the worst way. Where is a woman's right to privacy guaranteed by the constitution? Gov McDonald suggested he would like to be considered for VP. The only VP he is going to be remembered for is the vaginal probe.

I heard Rick Santorum say that "states have a right to deny contraception" or words to that effect. Will post the link.

As you said, Rush apologized for his poor choice of words: "slut" "protitute". What words does he wish he had said: "harlot" "street-walker"? He went on about this for three days. This was not a slip of the tongue remark. Anybody that has a daughter, granddaughter, sister, wife, mother should be outraged.
