Regarding Rush - the customers of his sponsors have spoken loud and clear, and the advertisers have reacted by dumping him. Next, he will have his pants sued off. I hope he is requested to post a photo of that on the internet. BARF
IMHO


That's funny, but I'm sure the Democrat Party is asking Ms. Allred to shut up already.

To use the law that the noxious Ms. Allred is proposing would mean having to prove that the subject in question is a virginal girl who's being maligned.

Do you think 30 year old law student/reproductive rights activist Ms. Fluke is up to that kind of scrutiny?

This is the law that Ms. Allred is citing:

836.04 Defamation.—Whoever speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. History.—s. 1, ch. 3460, 1883; RS 2419; GS 3260; RGS 5091; CGL 7193; s. 990, ch. 71-136.

To show cause for action the state would be in the unenviable position of having to show that Ms. Fluke had been chaste in order to show the falsehood. Chastity is a pretty hard standard to demonstrate when measuring the meaning of that word. The word has only one meaning, so it would be difficult to rule in any way but one, if in fact Ms. Fluke isn’t chaste.

This could have the bonus effect of showing the world in a very public manner that Limbaugh had been right all along if the court is forced to conclude that Ms. Fluke was, in fact, not chaste. Couple that with the difficulty in showing malice on Limbaugh’s part, and this could prove to be something great for Limbaugh and a nightmare for Ms. Fluke.

This wouldn’t be the first time Allred caused a client more harm than good.
But, all Ms. Allred want's is her moment in front of the cameras for her media splash.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to post this. I was waiting for the appropriate time.

Have you watched this ? WARNING....not nice language at all...before he gets sued these will have to be handled

And all of this is validated on video for the most part

Guest 03-10-2012 07:47 PM

And this is how the left handles it when on attack...damn the law...we are entitled (used that word on purpose)

"A group calling itself "The Women of the 99 Percent" is making robocalls across the United States in an attempt to link Republican members of the House of Representatives to "the war on women led by Rush Limbaugh".

The automated calls are illegal because they do not state who they are from (there is no known group called The Women of the 99 Percent) or provide a callback number, as required under the US Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991."

Thanks Bucco; I figured since Jan brought it up, she would know what she was talking about in her earlier post.

A young lady voluntarily offers to provide information to an investigating commitee regarding womens health issues. She relates how a friend needed to use a medication to treat her health problems. It just happens to be a pharmaceutical that is also used in contraceptives....

Now we have a man with his own national radio show who goes on the air and calls her a prostitute and a slut. Use of a contraceptive DOES NOT equal multiple sexual partners. It does not equal being a prostitute nor a slut....

.... (W)here is your outrage about paying for Viagra perscriptions? Since the only use for Viagra is to promote sex, how can you possibly condone reimbursement for it?

My granddaughter has been on so-called "birth control pills" since the age of 12, most assuredly not for birth control but to prevent her from having to be hospitalized screaming in pain accompanied by tremendous loss of blood for a week each month. Yes, this is a pharmaceutical that is also used for contraception, and I support its being reimbursed for her and countless others. I do not support any coverage for Viagra since there is zero medical need for such a drug and am appalled at the hypocrisy of those who (for whatever their reasons) give tacit support to the latter by not condemning it while making crude, insulting, and inappropriate comments about those who (for whatever their reasons) need the former.

The free market will take care of Rush Limpbaugh. No sponsors equals no Rush. Aren't republicans big fans of the free market?

Guest 03-14-2012 11:17 AM

Twinkle - actually, I believe there IS a use for Viagara that is more along the lines of 'medically necessary' - has to do with treating blood pressure. It was during the human trials of seledifil citrate (the generic name) to see whether or not the blood pressure effects were what was desired that the patients started reporting the very curious side effect.

I'd be willing to bet that this time next year Rush's show still the number 1 talk show in the nation. Rush's huge audience will fuel his staying power, and advertisers will still want his audience.

:agree: Not a huge fan of his delivery on the radio, but I read his news letter from cover to cover when I'm in the mood to look reality square in the face. He is absolutely right on 99% of the time. I guess that is what makes those who hate him so much, hate him so much!

The Washington Post in a rare instance of journalism has published a story that reports the truth about the "boycott" or Rush Limbaugh's program to have been a bust.

Rush was never really hurt by any of it, and the beat goes on for The Rush Limbaugh Show; still the most popular talk radio show in the nation.

Liberals.........on the count of three, you may all say...........Dohhh!!

He has a core of dittoheads who are unable, or unwilling to think for themselves and who hang on his every word. They are a very small minority of the voting public, but enough to keep his ratings relatively high. The few million that he seems to influence are like-minded radicals, who really would vote for the people and causes he endorses in any case. He influences no one who would not otherwise be inclined to buy into his radical right wing rhetoric, and therefore swing absolutely no weight in the political arena. JMHO.

You can keep kidding yourself if you like. The Democrat Establishment, Media Matters and it's patron Barack Obama knows differently.

Guest 03-29-2012 10:31 PM

We conservatives are much smarter than liberals. We listened to the conservative news media liberals call right wing. And we are bombarded by the lefty loony dingbat liberals almost 24 hours a day.

We hear both sides of the story. The dingbats only listen to one side. That's the reason they're called dingbats.

I cannot disagree with a thing you've said.

On an added note; Limbaugh's ratings since the "Fluke thing" have risen 10% to 60% depending on the station.

Limbaugh's advertisers are getting a big bang for their advertising buck.

I wish somebody would have taken my bet, but even the libs aren't crazy.

if you would listen you would hear all kinds of people calling in who were once liberals but have changed their opinions after thoughtfully considering the points of view expressed on the program. similarly, many have been
"hannitized" by the sean hannity show, too! :) we are not dittoheads, and i think perfectly well for myself, thank you very much!

Quite right. When I first heard the Limbaugh show in '92, I listened because Bill Clinton had just stabbed us union members in the back by his lying about stopping NAFTA during his campaign, and then doing the opposite when he was elected. Someone told me Limbaugh was talking about it, and so I tuned in.

I was pretty quickly taken with his sense of humor, and then realized that I agreed with most things he spoke about. I was a bit surprised. I kept thinking, as I was listening, "yeah that's right; that's the way I feel about it".

It didn't take too many days and weeks to realize that Rush's opinions jived with my own. Except for his views on private unions, we agreed on most things.

(P.S. Dittoheads doesn't mean what most people think. People use to call up all the time prefacing their comment with praise for Rush's show. One day a caller just said "dittos" to what the previous caller said, and it caught on. Now if you talk to or about Rush and say "dittos", it just means you like the program.)
