NBC: ‘A Firestorm of Outrage from Women After a Crude Tirade from Rush Limbaugh’
Serving as the arm of MSNBC which actually has a significant audience, Thursday’s NBC Nightly News promoted a left-wing effort to impugn and silence Rush Limbaugh. “A firestorm of outrage from women after a crude tirade from Rush Limbaugh and as the battle over birth control takes another turn,” anchor Brian Williams ominously teased his newscast.
Picking up a crusade pushed all day by MSNBC, Williams warned “some may find some of the comments in this next story offensive.” He claimed “there is a growing firestorm over comments made by Rush Limbaugh,” about a woman, Sandra Fluke, who testified in favor of forcing her Catholic college to pay for her contraception, and so “a lot of women are expressing their outrage.”
Reporter Anne Thompson framed her story through a liberal prism: “What began as a debate over religious freedom has devolved into what some call a ‘war on women.’”
Audio: MP3 clip which matches the video excerpt
She recited how “on the Internet and Twitter, there’s a mixture of disbelief and anger. Postings like, 'The GOP is waging a war on women. Let’s fight back,' before she dishonestly maintained “there is a groundswell of anger on Capitol Hill about Limbaugh’s comments,” as if it is some kind of bi-partisan anger. “Seventy-five members of Congress have sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner expressing their outrage. The letter calls for Republican leaders to condemn Limbaugh’s remarks.”
In fact, as CBSNews.com, hardly a holdout of Limbaugh fans, headlined a post: “Democrats urge Boehner to ‘repudiate’ comments by Limbaugh on contraception testimony.” The item began:
A group of Democratic members of Congress are continuing the political war over contraception and the latest move puts House Speaker John Boehner on the spot. Seventy-five lawmakers are urging the Speaker to “repudiate” comments made by conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The Democrats signed a letter to the speaker over comments Limbaugh made on his show on Wednesday...
Limbaugh’s comment which Williams characterized as “offensive”? This is the one and only Limbaugh soundbite NBC played:
So, Ms. Fluke, and the rest of you Femi-Nazis, 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.
Obviously, a bit of humor which escaped the overly-sensitive left-wing/media axis always looking to be offended.
Earlier, from Scott Whitlock, “Chris Matthews: Rush Limbaugh Could Be the Next Don Imus in the Wake of ‘Sluts’ Comment”
For Limbaugh’s reaction on his Thursday show to the attacks on him, see “Left Freaks Out Over My Fluke Remarks.”
And his response to the Democratic letter: “Tell Issa to Condemn Cummings.”
Limbaugh credits a CNSNews.com blog post by Craig Bannister, “Sex-Crazed Co-Eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control, Student Tells Pelosi Hearing Touting Freebie Mandate,” as “the story that started all this.”

From the Thursday, March 1 NBC Nightly News, closed-captioning corrected against the video by the MRC's Brad Wilmouth
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Now, some may find some of the comments in this next story offensive, but then, that’s really part of the point. There is a growing firestorm over comments made by Rush Limbaugh about a young woman caught up in the middle of this fight over birth control in Washington. And tonight, a lot of women are expressing their outrage. We get details on this tonight from NBC’s Anne Thompson.
ANNE THOMPSON: This debate is marked by powerful images. The all-male panel at a congressional hearing on contraception coverage.
SANDRA FLUKE, GEORGETOWN LAW SCHOOL STUDENT: Thank you for calling this hearing on women’s health.
THOMPSON: Sandra Fluke, the 23-year-old Georgetown law student, prohibited from testifying. And now incendiary words from one of the loudest voices in the conservative movement, radio host Rush Limbaugh.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: So, Ms. Fluke, and the rest of you Femi-Nazis, 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.
THOMPSON: In 2012, the personal is political. What began as a debate over religious freedom has devolved into what some call a “war on women.”
SUSAN BROOKS THISTLETHWAITE, CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY: It’s certainly an attack on a lot of levels. Rights that women felt were settled, I think, for nearly a generation have suddenly become contested again.
MONA CHAREN, CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST: No doubt there are better ways or other ways that one might have phrased it, but, then again, he has a huge 20 million listeners, and he didn’t get that way by being milquetoast.
THOMPSON: On the Internet and Twitter, there’s a mixture of disbelief and anger. Postings like, “The GOP is waging a war on women. Let's fight back,” and, “I vote Republican but also realize it's 2012. Bible thumpers need to get with the times.” Tonight, there is a groundswell of anger on Capitol Hill about Limbaugh’s comments. Seventy-five members of Congress have sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner expressing their outrage. The letter calls for Republican leaders to condemn Limbaugh’s remarks. As for Sarah Fluke, Brian, she says she will not be deterred. She will continue to speak out.
Neither ABC’s World News, nor the CBS Evening News, found the leftist attacks on Limbaugh or his remarks newsworthy on Thursday night.

Heard this live in my car, Rush was having fun with this. First, the endless notion that it is "free," especially
with a govt now running perpetual trillion dollar deficits. Second, they priced the contraceptives, and it was no where near the Congress claims for the pill. And a Rush staffer found condoms at a fraction of the pill price on Amazon. How about the 75 House members actually push for a balanced budget before we give out more "free" stuff.......

When Brian Williams speaks for women, it's like Alan Alda coming back from the grave and speaking for them.
Say what? OK, it's like Brian Williams speaking as a woman.
Because what Brian Williams wants you to know is that women, like other demographics under the protection of the Democrat party, are incapable of controlling their animal instincts, and that men bear no responsibility in the decision-making processes of those demographics.
Soooo, Democrat men, like Brian Williams, are relegated the role of reading a teleprompter linked directly to Democrat HQ.

The next great thing Rush said was "the Gov will next probably buy these college girls a car so they have a comfortable back seat to own so they can make good use of birth control". Free birth control is just another welfare gift. This co-ed spends 45 grand to go to school but can't afford the pill?? Walmart has them for 4 bucks

Sarah Palin did not earn the vile insults hurled at her and her children. Ms. Fluke did.
Ms. Fluke openly declared herself incapable of making personal decisions sans government intervention.
This same woman would demand the government stay out of her bedroom, but by damn it better pay for the decisions she makes while she's in there.
What we're going to find, I think, is that this woman decided to go to a Catholic University for the very purpose in which she's now engaged.
I absolutely do not believe women across America are telling their daughters, "When you do decide to have sex, I want you to make it as pleasurable, often, and emotionally meaningless as that woman sitting before Congress".

Sandra FLUKE???? You CAN'T make this crap up!!! She has lived up to her name completely!!! But she is no 'fluke', that's for sure - she is part of the concerted effort to distract people with this phony-ass contraception issue - which the Obama REGIME started, throught their willing accomplices in the MSM.
And what the hell was this little tramp doing at Capital Hill anyway - wasting MORE of our tax dollars and the time and energy of our (mostly) useless Congress people. I don't know why she wasn't laughed out of there - I heard her on the radio, and she was the most pathetic and simpering and queebing little 'slut' I've heard in a long time!!! It's a good thing I'm not in the House of Representatives, because those worms would be firing me and censoring me and banning me every damn day!!! I'd run that little tramp out of there so fast, she'd be asking Congress for free anxiety pills!!!
And the irony of the fact that she is studying to become a lawyer is not lost on me, either. I have been saying - for about the last 40 years - that there should be a moratorium on the number and types of lawyers that can be unleashed upon the public.

The media didn't make Rush, so they can't destroy him - BURN
Submitted by Slyrr on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 12:10am.
Looks like Limbaugh hit a little too close to the mark here. You always know when someone is telling the truth about a liberal - because they get frothing mad.
The Left's entire existence depends on being able to baldly lie about who they are, what they want and how they want to achieve it.
Anyone who blows the whistle on them and puts them under the burning glare of the truth is a 'heretic' who must be destroyed.
Every over month or so, the liberal left think they can use Limbaugh's words to wreck him and his talk show. As closely as they listen to him, they STILL don't listen. They ignore one of the most fundamental truths Limbaugh has ever spoken.
'The media didn't make me, so they can't destroy me.'
Truer words were never spoken - and it infuriates the Left like nothing else can. For all their bluster, they still can't come anywhere close to being able to lay a finger on El Rushbo. Rush didn't build his career on sucking up to lefties and liberals. So he doesn't 'need' them to stay in business.
Let them froth and fume and rage and bluster until they blow out their arteries, give themselves anger strokes and keel over dead. They'll never be able to take out Rush, because he built himself and his career without them.
Rock on, Rush.

I doubt if Rush is trying to secure his show for another 4 hears with Obama.................I'm pretty sure that Rush is just as apprehensive and afraid as any of us are about the Kenyan Kow Krap being able to have 4 more years to complete his 'fundamental transformation of this nation'............although Rush has a LOT more money than we do, in case he thinks he needs to 'make a move'.

He will criticize anybody who says or does anything that is not Conservative no matter which party that person belongs to and that is why no one can truthfully call Rush a political hack as you can 99.9 per cent of the people who speak up for Liberals.
Rush was good friends with both of the Bushes, yet he criticized them when they strayed from Conservatism.
If Romney is our next President and I pray that he is, he would do well to listen to Rush.

The question is WHEN will the rest of the media point out Williams as another Democrat party hack pretending to be a newscaster?
The truth is, Fluke outed herself as a promiscous slut that would have been laughed out of almost any high school in the country. Her remarks promoting slutty behavior are actually quite crude and show what horrible moral values she has.

Are they sure they want to make a big deal out of this? Mr. Limbaugh is taking this issue into the light it belongs. It is not just about offending Christians and their faith. We ALL have to pay for this through higher insurance rates. Again, insurance by and large is to protect you from large financial hits. It is the entire purpose of home, auto, life, and yes health insurance. Not to pay for the everyday little expense we all have to endure. There are many things that affect my health that I pay out of pocket - Toothpaste. Cold medicine. Vitamins. A house that shelters me from the wind. Brocolli. A coat that keeps the cold off my back. Umbrellas that keep the rain off my head. Brake pads for the car. Ear plugs. Chapstick. The list could go on. All things I buy to protect my health and PREVENT even bigger issues. WE should not have to pay for the birth control of others. It ain't that damn expensive.

Let's forget for a moment that no one has a right to demand another provide them with medical care and that medical care is a "right", how in the hell is it "medical care" to take properly-functioning components of the body and make them not work properly? You can call it medical care to get a sterile woman pregnant, but disabling properly working organs IS NOT MEDICAL CARE. Just because something involves manipulating the human body does not make it medical care. If contraceptives are medical care then we ought to pay for tattoos and fake fingernails because they involve a human body too.
I blame Christians for allowing this to get turned into a Christians vs. Women issue. First of all, medical care is not a right PERIOD Second, contraceptives are not medical care PERIOD Here you have two perfectly sound and constitutionally-appropriate arguments against this waste of spending and no one is mentioning that!

You need to study this insurance issue before spewing.
First, I have a hearing loss and neither medicare nor my supplemental insurance will cover. I have to pay full expenses.
Second, my insurance covers maternity care which I do not need since I am post menapausal. But I have to pay for it anyway.
Third, the compassionate Ms Sebillius is issuing mandates for birth control, abortion, and the morning after pill which will cause all of our premiums to necessarily skyrocket. However, I recently learned, that some cancer drugs are being removed from coverage by medicare and supplemental insurance reimbursements.
So, I have to pay for my own hearing aids, oral chemotherapy meds, and rising costs of insurance coverage. But I will be required to pay higher premiums and higher taxes so we can pay, for free, the pleasures of irresponsible young people through birth control and abortion.
Having contributed to government by paying taxes for 55 years, it is simple to see why some of us are angry having to pay for the decadent lifestyles of those who have yet to contribute a damn thing to society.

Shen when has a pregnancy become an adverse medical condition? When did our own children become a threat to our very health? A threat so large, so devastating to society as a whole, that the 'treatments" for it must, by all means necessary, become widely available, at no cost, to any women who is, or just might, "suffer" a pregnancy now or in the immediate future.
Think about what you're saying: a child, especially an unborn child, is a THREAT to the health of a woman! That's INSANE! I highly doubt that many in "the medical community" actually believe that. This may come as a surprise to you, but "medical science" recognizes the need for species propagation, for there's a whole branch of medical science devoted to it. It's called "Obstetrics ," in case you didn't know. We even have a specialized type of "doctor" who deals solely with the medical benefits of pregnancy. They're what's known as "Obstetricians." Obstetricians don't "treat" pregnancy by removing the "threatening" fetus, you know. They do everything within their medical abilities to ensure the "pregnancy" is carried out successfully, and that "health threat," called a child, is actually born.

A specific diagnosis has to be made for a benefit.
Submitted by drsamherman on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 9:15pm.
Yes, oral contraceptives are used in some cases for therapeutic effect other than contraception. However, they also carry significant risks as do all medications. It is the balance of the risk/benefit equation that is central to a physician's choices to recommend a specific therapy to a patient.
Oral contraceptives carry significant risks of thromobosis (clotting), increased breast cancer risk in females with certain forms of that disease and multiple other side-effects such as worsening of certain forms of depression and vaginal bleeding or spotting. The medical benefits outside of contraception do not work in all patients, but only in those which are studied and described in well-conducted clinical research.
To say that all women derive the same set of medical benefits from oral contraception is not only incorrect, but advances ignorance on the subject of risk vs. benefit that is so commonly found in the media. Not all women with acne, pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder or a few selected other diagnoses will benefit from oral contraception. In some cases, the contraception effect itself fails and the other medical benefits do not work either.
Medical science does say that birth control is part of women's health, but you take it dangerously out of context. Oral contraceptives are not some panacea for women's diseases and ALL risks must be balanced against the benefits of any drug.

It's not like he's telling them to stop having sex.. just that we, as taxpayers, shouldn't have to fund it for them. I don't see the problem. Did she really think she could go on the public stage and discuss this, sorry.. DEMAND this.. and no one would say anything?

Is this "Fluke" for real? For congress to allow this spoiled brat to waste their time to listen to her complaints about not having enough money to fund her birth control pill is simply unreal. What will be next? Will college kids be asking for help from the government for them to buy drinks at the bar? Fund their IPhones, IPads monthly bill, pay for transportantion so they can get enjoy the lifestyle they think "they deserve" because they cannot afford it? If the Fluke wants to avoid getting pregnant, then keep your legs closed girlfriend. Is that simple and is free!

These "women" want other people to pay for their contraception so that they can have sex. How is that not considered a form of prostitution, hmm? It is, in essence, exchanging money for sexual services. At least ACTUAL prostitutes have the decency to deliver the goods to the individual who's paying them. These girls want others to pay to support their libidinous lifestyles, and they simultaneously want the right to call us intolerant misogynists when we protest and disgusting voyeurs when we request that we get our fair share of that government cheese by filming them in the act.
Ladies, I'm a woman, too. I don't care if you take the pill or not. If your insurance doesn't cover it, GET NEW INSURANCE. You aren't forced to use a specific insurance plan. Or, GASP, here's an idea.
BUY. IT. FOR. YOUR. SELF.
Cut back on the Starbucks lattes and designer muffins for a week and you can afford a month's supply of the pill. So shut up, pull on your big girl panties, and don't bother me with your foolish decision to screw like rabbits. I've got more important things to care about than the frequency with which you spread your legs.

I find YOU offensive which explains why I don't watch any news program with you on it. As far as "this young woman who finds herself caught in the middle of the fight over birth control," well, boo hoo for her. Actions have consequences and unbridled sex is no exception. If she wants to screw every male at Georgetown, good for her, but I'm not in favor of paying for her birth control. Let her proud parents be responsible for that. They obviously raised her to be free to explore her sexuality. Fine. Let them pay for it if she can't. Don't push her immorality on the tax payers of America. My insurance premiums are high enough without having to foot her bills, too. Yes, there IS outrage among women over what Rush said, but some of us are outraged in favor of what he said. He just has a better outlet to get it out there. Most of us must settle from venting to the dog.
Waiting for the lib outrage over misogynist Bill Maher...

Yesterday's Doofus = today's liar and con artist?
March 02, 2012
Yesterday I nominated Georgetown'law student' Sandra Fluke as our Doofus Of The Day #576. Turns out she resembles a Doofus rather less than she does a two-faced political hack, lobbyist, deceiver and liar. Jammie Wearing Fools reports:
For me the interesting part of the story is the ever-evolving "coed". I put that in quotes because in the beginning she was described as a Georgetown law student. It was then revealed that prior to attending Georgetown she was an active women's right advocate. In one of her first interviews she is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown's insurance policy prior to committing to attend, and seeing that it didn't cover contraceptive services, she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy. During this time, she was described as a 23-year-old coed. Magically, at the same time Congress is debating the forced coverage of contraception, she appears and is even brought to Capitol Hill to testify. This morning, in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show, it was revealed that she is 30 years old, NOT the 23 that had been reported all along.
In other words, folks, you are being played. She has been an activist all along and the Dems were just waiting for the appropriate time to play her.
While she is described as a "third year law student" they always fail to mention that she is also the past president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice ( http://lsrj.org/ ).

Needless to say, the media are in a feeding frenzy over Ms. Fluke's remarks, and how Rush Limbaugh called her a 'slut', and all the rest of the brouhaha that surrounds this incident. However, none of the mainstream media outlets I follow have yet revealed the truth about her . . . they still continue to refer to her as a 'third-year law student'. Guess who's following the 'party line' about this? It's proof once again (as if further proof were needed!) that you can no longer trust the mainstream media to report fairly or accurately about anything to do with politics. They're peddling an agenda, not the news .
