Limbaugh went on to say that Fluke's testimony was part of a "Democrat plot" to "create a new welfare program and, at the same time, try to cast Republicans in an election year as anti-female."
Quote:
Yesterday, Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute."
Quote:
Limbaugh said: "So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."
Um......why in the name of Yoda would anyone need to hatch a plot to cast Republicans as anti-female?

Rush says a lot of really ridiculous shit, but calling her a slut, along with his other comments, is way over the line. The GOP seems completely unashamed of being openly hostile to women.

right, republicans aren't anti-woman, which is why they need to use slurs for them....

at one point I used to think this guy just liked hearing the sound of his own voice... but unless the sound of his own cognitive dissonance gives him a woody then I'm going to have to revise that to: he's training to be bulimic by vomiting forth his own bile and has deafened himself to the sound of it.

Rush Limbaugh sets my brain on fire. He is scum and it amazes me that anyone can stand listening to him. His remarks were false, rude, misogynistic, totally uncalled for and a lot of other really unkind things.

From his comments, and some of the comments online I've read, Ms. Fluke saying that birth control could cost a woman $3,000 over her law school years turned into that she has to have sex 3 times a day and wants taxpayers to pay for it. WTF??? Rush et al are saying this as if Ms. Fluke actually said it during her testimony.

I can't wait until I start reading this on Facebook, the misquoting of what Ms. Fluke actually said, I mean. I swear, half of the people on FB have no access to Google or Snopes. There is NO fact checking done at all for some of them who post ignorant crap. And I know some of them will start swearing that prostitutes want taxpayers to pay for their livelihoods and birth control.

That's where I actually heard about this today. Some loser calling her an ignorance whore and claiming that it's all about love for the Constitution.

He's certainly gone over the edge once again. I find it frustrating to understand what the actual FCC laws are, how bad someone has to get before they are penalized. It is such a fine line between free speech and hate speech sometimes.

I find it interesting that Fox News has been urging the Supreme Court to reverse the rulings on indecency and stop "policing the airwaves". (First Amendment case since 2007, last heard in January, FCC vs Fox). Shit, if Fox doesn't like it..

But that all seems to be around talk of sexual organs, so who knows.

CNN covered this yesterday and noted that there is a major backlash among some women's groups, and that Limbaugh may very well have hurt the Republican Party's female support (what little of it is left) this fall with his stupidity.

Oh, and of course in the video snippet I saw, he also called Fluke a "feminazi". It just never gets old, does it?

Taking the high road, Sandra Fluke:

Sandra Fluke on Limbaugh: I was stunned, then outraged | The Raw Story

Quote:
“I guess my reaction is the reaction a lot of women have when they’ve been called these names,” Fluke said during an appearance on MSNBC. “Initially you’re stunned but then, very quickly, you’re outraged because this is historically the kind of language that is used to silence women, especially when women who stand up and say that these are their reproductive health care needs and this is what they need.”

“What’s been amazing to me today is the outpouring of support,” she continued. “Everyone from members of Congress to Georgetown faculty to so many women who’ve contacted me, and I think it’s clear from what they’ve said that they’re not going to be silenced by this.”
Quote:
Seventy-eight members of Congress have called on House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to repudiate Limbaugh’s comments. In a letter (PDF), the legislators said Republicans had a “special obligation” to repudiate the comments because Fluke was previously denied the opportunity to testify on the panel about contraception by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA).

I keep thinking over the years, he cannot shock me anymore...I won't let him shock me anymore...but with all the build up over the past few weeks and feeling actually threatened by a faction of old white men talking politics, I was already on edge, and this sent me right over.

I actually felt ill reading what he was saying about this woman (and thus to me as a female who *gasps* has had sex not just to procreate).

Fuck him...fuck him and all his Viagara popping hypocrites.

Good news is...one advertiser down:

It's too bad Anonymous can shut this asshole down.

I think he did this because he was becoming more and more irrelevant and people are hearing less about him in the news so what's the best way to counter that?

Well for a bully like Rush, it's smack down some woman. Why does that not surprise me.

I don't know what Republican "strategist" decided a culture war on women's rights was a good idea, but we can only hope this really makes independent women recognize their political enemy.

At this point, I can't understand why any woman continues to be a member of the GOP, any more than I can conceive how greed can make rich gays support the agenda of their sworn cultural enemies.

He conviently overlooks the fact that Fluke asked to be heard exactly because the original Congressional hearing heard from ZERO people who actually had a uterus!

Congressional Birth Control Hearing Involves Exactly Zero People Who Have a Uterus



I don't give a fuck what religion they are or what monkey suit they're wearing. They do NOT have the right to dictate any woman's reproductive choices unless they can figure out a way to (1) Menstruate every month for, oh, let's say 30 years; (2) Become pregnant and endure the hormonal tsunami that entails; (3) actually pass a 7 or 8-pound human being through their birth canal. THEN maybe we can talk!

You know, I had managed to never have been assaulted with that pig's voice for many blissful years....until now. I feel dirty for having even bothered to listen to him.

The line of failed logic he uses is pathetic. Using that failed logic, people should just not commit crimes. We are wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars on security, police, and military. If people would just not break the law, we wouldn't need all that bullshit stuff.

That is however the conservative expectation for women (and seemingly only women), abstinence: just don't do it. If a woman has sex she's a slut. If a man rapes a woman, then it's her fault for tempting him. Men can't handle their urges you see, so they can't be blamed.

Sandra Fluke Receives Call From Obama After Rush Limbaugh 'Slut' Comments

I love that he called her to check on her, especially that he told her to tell her parents they should be proud of her. Can you imagine any of the asshole GOP candidates doing this? Santorum would call her parents and offer his condolences for having a sinful slut of a daughter who is going to hell.

The fact that Limbaugh attacked her is bad enough, but to also say her parents should be ashamed of her is really low.

And from the response by Limbaugh:

Quote:
Limbaugh also reacted to President Obama's call to Fluke. Obama told Fluke that her parents should be "proud" of her. Limbaugh had a different message for them. "I'd be embarrassed," he said. "I'd disconnect the phone. I'd go into hiding.
Rush Limbaugh To Sandra Fluke: 'Did You Ever Think About Maybe Backing Off The Amount Of Sex That You Have?' (AUDIO)

Limbaugh is doing more to rush moderates away from the Republicans than all the candidates put together right now. I say, let him go on. Lets hear some more hate spewing from that arrogant, smug hate-machine.
