Rush Limbaugh Apologizes for Fluke Comments
In a statement released today on his eponymous website, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh apologized for his choice of words in a monologue about Georgetown Law student and political activist Sandra Fluke, who "testified" at a faux hearing conducted by congressional Democrats regarding the ObamaCare contraception mandate. Limbaugh also reiterated his concern over the contraceptive mandate and the larger erosion of personal responsibility and accountability through federal mandates that social costs for personal expenses onto taxpayers or employers.
You can read the full statement here or below the page break:
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.

but if he had just kept to his providing something in return for the contraceptives analogy and not called her a slut or prostitute, I feel he should never have apologized. That part was a righteous angle on her entitlement state of mind testimony. As it is, Limbaugh has shown he has a lot more class then Bill Maher will ever have.
Yep........

........he had the right direction, but when the word "slut" comes out, anything of substance is completely lost. Shouldn't have said it. But, it's done. Moving on.
What we are witnessing is a complete and overwhelming diversion from Obama's record. It's absolutely amazing. This issue won't last until the election, but it shows us all what will be happening. There will be new "issues" that come up, that have nothing to do with Obama's record, and likely won't be issues at all, just as this contraceptive crap is a made up issue. The Obama campaign team is all smiles, having likely had a big part is directing this play.
More plays to come.

But I don't think this woman should have any special treatment compared to any of his other targets. And it defies every principle of feminism for her to get special treatment. She's not a damsel in distress who needs people to come and save her.

Galvanic,
One of the biggest problems in the USA that you can no longer call a Spade a Spade.
By her own admission, on national television, in a Congressional hearing paid by our tax dollars, Sandra Fluke said that she needed $3,000 worth of contraceptives a year. Every single woman that I have spoken with who uses or has used contraceptives said she is either lying or having sex quite a few times a week!!
Sandra Fluke, if you haven't bothered to do the research, is a professional Left wing activist whose sole purpose of enrolling into Georgetown Law School was to change its health insurance policy of not covering contraceptives!!! This woman owes me, you, Georgetown, the nation and apology. This 30 year old Left wing radical activist, Sandra Fluke, has chained herself to Georgetown demanding that the hearlth insurance policy be changed. She is attempting to force the Roman Catholic Church to go against Her teachings. She is attempting to force me to pay for her sexual life style and Rush is the one that did wrong.
I am upset Rush Limbaugh apologized. It is within his rights to have called her a slut and it is within his rights to apologize for it. but give me a break, the Liberals now smell blood in the water and if you think it will stop there, you are sadly mistaken.
Bill Maher and countless of other prominent Liberal talking heads have said much worse about Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, etc. which was based on nothing, but the fantasy world that the Left lives in and none have ever been asked to apologize by the voices who are crying over what Rush Limbaugh said.
David Letterman insinuated that Sarah Palin's underage child was having sex with a professional baseball player. The Left demanded an apology? nope.
Bill Maher constantly calls Sarah Palin and other Conservative women c*nts, bimbos. The Left demanded an apology?
As always, the Right buckles while the Left keeps digusting people like Bill Maher around.
A great moral win for Liberals. Honestly, I believe it is a reflection of what is coming in Nov. 2012.

Thanks for the article! Nice to see that at least one Catholic university is acting as Roman Catholic!!
Due to my job, I travel to a lot of undergraduate colleges and universities. My travels take me to State schools and private schools of all denominations. I am always very sadden to see that way too many Catholic universities and colleges have pro-gay signs in their departments.
Again, I wish Catholic bishops in the USA started demanding that universities and colleges which claim to be Roman Catholic act as such if not they would lose all support from the Church.
By the way, my favorite one, due to the irony of it, was visiting the office of a physics professor. On the door he had a "Not Hate Zone" pro-gray sticker on his door. When you walked in, his office was full of anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, full of hate slogans, stickers, etc. Such as, "If you believe in God, please tell me where I can find the fairy god mother". or "I am unsure who to be more afraid of, NAMBLA or Catholic priests". These are the ones that I can retype on NB. However, he is reflective of what I find in 70% of the offices of science professors.

The truth is, the credit probably belongs to the parents and alumni who called and wrote Father Donohue of Villanova regarding this matter. I saw one grandfather who said he contributes to his granddaughters tuition, but upon seeing this said no more. Many of us threatened to withhold money.
I don't know if the president was aware of this "artist" or not, but it's time to take back our church. Sadly, the GLTB (I really can't keep the initials straight) is still there. Which makes me wonder, they don't allow opposite sexes on the same floor in the doors after hours, so how they can allow a group which obviously promotes out of marriage sex?

Fluke's testimony: "“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school."
It has been presumed that she was referring to a 3-year time period, so that would be $1,000 per year. (Don't ask me if this is a high number, but she's apparently going the prescription versus the condom route. edit: I shouldn't assume the latter.)
Rush may have gotten pressure from sponsors - we'll never know. But if he *had* to issue an apology, he was smart to do this before the Sunday talk shows. The talk shows will, of course, tear him up and down about this, but at least they will also have to mention that he issued an apology.

Additionally, if this Left wing radical activists, Sandra Fluke, who is at Georgetown with the sole purpose to overturn the university's health insurance policy of not covering contraceptives, can't afford $2,000 every three years, she should either not have sex for these three years OR leave Georgetown so she can pay for her sex!

I'm just telling you what she said so you have all the facts when you make a statement about it. (i.e., she never said the $3k/year cost)
I don't care if her contraceptives cost $1 or $1,000, I don't want to pay for it, and her insurer should not be required to pay for it. Repeating my comment from yesterday: I suggest that Rush offer to pay for Fluke's permanent sterilization (her choice, not a government mandate), just in case mooching is hereditary.

Submitted by Jer on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 10:35pm.
I don't know about the overall level of outrage, but he did offer a very lengthy on-air apology, concluding as follows:
"...And then I was watching the Jim Lehrer 'Newshour' - this commentator, the columnist Mark Shields, was talking about how I had made this indefensible joke about the 14-year-old girl, and I thought, 'Oh, boy, now I'm beginning to understand what the problem is here. It's the perception rather than the intent.' It doesn't make any difference what my intent was, it's the perception. And, as they say about jokes, if you have to explain the joke, it's not a very good joke. And I'm certainly - " (audience applause) "- thank you. Well, my responsibility - I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault. That it was misunderstood." (audience applauds) "Thank you. So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the Governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future. Thank you very much." (audience applause)

Well, I am glad he apologize. However, my point is the level of outrage from the Left which was none existant when David Letterman made this horrific, digusting, pathetic, wormish joke. The Left was not outraged by DAvid Letterman's joke, that's my point.
Additionally, HBO just made a move about Sarah Palin which portrays her as a crazed out, wacko. Again, where is the Left's outrage.
go to the DailyKos, DemocraticUnderground, Thinkprogress.org and any other Left wing site, I know you'll defend the Huff&Puff, and you will find bloggers, writers and posters saying much, much, MUCH worse things against Conservative women than anything Limbaugh said about Sandra Fluke.
The point is that the Left knows they can get away with calling Conservative women bimbos, c*nts and much worse and their outrage against Limbaugh in this case is FAKE and a lie. They have hated Limbaugh and they see this as an opening to shut him up.

And how many days did he talk about this? I don't listen every day, but I'm pretty sure it was more than one day. After the first time, he could have backtracked; said that wasn't what it should be about, it should be about who pays.

Submitted by metaphorsbwithu on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 7:45pm.
It's good that Rush apologized.
Normally Rush is one step ahead of his critics and rarely says something without it being a set-up. I'm assuming he thought by using the nasty language of the left to demonstrate the double standard that exists he'd be able to to throw it back in their faces.
He had to know, however, no matter how vile the left's treatment of conservative women and blacks is, that narrative of a double standard would never make its way through the vast liberal media machine and was a sure-fire disaster in the making.
Maybe there will be an opportunity to show that point is valid to an objective audience but don't ever, ever think conservatives will not be punished for one mistake, even though the same behavior permeates the left.
That said, there are dozens of ways to show the absurdity of the "rubbers for scholars" movement and it's unfortunate Rush included the crudest, rudest
and least imaginative argument.

I have been listening to Rush for years and can count on one hand the number of times he has apologized. He should NOT have apologized in this situation. Fluke is a slut by her own admission-demanding we pay for her to have sex. She lied about her age, lied about the cost of contraception, lied about the problems some people she heard about had and admitted before all this started that she picked GTown so she could change the way the Catholic University health plan worked. Now this political hack thinks she will be a star and she will among the liberal wingnuts. "Rush even apologized".

i wonder, when was the last time that Bohner, Scott Brown and the other Republicans who have been asking that Rush apologize or saying that what Rush said is wrong have demanded that Bill Maher apologize to Sarah Palin? Michelle Bachman? To Conservative women for the constant insults that they receive from prominent Left wingers?
When will Bohner, Brown and the rest of the stupid, moronic and spinless Republicans demand that Obama demand that the superpac which accepted Bill maher's $1 million dollars return the money to him since he is a mysoginist?
I am angry, very angry at The Republican party for not standing with Rush Limbaugh, for being such pathetic cowards and for demanding from Limbaugh what they have NEVER demanded from Bill Maher, President Obama, etc.

It is for the entire left now to answer the questions that Rush posed.
If Birth control pills, or other forms of medical birth control, condoms, sterilization, abortion, or any combination of them can be foisted upon insurance companies to "cover" (to pay for) and everyone is mandated to purchase insurance, where IS that line for what is and is not "preventative".
My son runs. He runs a lot. I mean a lot. Let's put it this way, he placed fifth in last years 8th grade boys mile with a time of 4:58. You don't run a mile that fast without putting in the miles. This takes shoes, lots of shoes. I am getting a kick (pardon the pun) out of Rush's shoe example because it really DOES affect my family directly. Should, as a matter of "safety", as a matter of "preventative medicine" my family be provided with the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars we spend on his shoes trying to take very good care of his feet and his knees?
Miss Fluke - I say this directly to you. Should YOU pay for my son's "preventative medicine" in specialized, and even multiple kinds of them, running shoes every couple of months?
Or, Ma'am, is it a reality that, LIKE SEX, it is a CHOICE that my son is making to run those miles and it is a CHOICE for us to sacrifice other things we need in this family of five in order to come up with those shoes?
I am disgusted by this display of foolishness on the world stage that DEMOCRATS are foisting upon this nation. Those who have been SCREAMING for years for people, for government, to stay out of their bedroom and the choices made within are now the very same ones trying to make this Presidential campaign about something that really is supposed to be in the bedroom and left alone for each to choose as they will on their own and on their own dime.
I believe this HAS to be a turning point in our nation's history. THIS idiocy has to be the one thing, the one final straw that finally breaks the back of the duplicitous standard of hypocrisy that stands in government and in national media. This is one of the most RIDICULOUS things I have ever seen in my life on that front.
Miss Fluke just went before congress, seeking a redress of grievance. That is her right. It is now time to answer directly to the validity of her grievance. I stand to declare that it has NO MERIT, none, none whatsoever. It is asinine to sit before congress and demand that another pay for mitigation of known risk for chosen behavior that is 100% social and 100% a personal choice that not one person beyond their self can make. Remember folks, non means no. Which means any imposition absent individual permission given is RAPE.
Miss. Fluke, you are, with this stupidity, demanding that all people be forced to pay so that you can have less risk in the choices you make. You ma'am are in effect raping everyone everywhere. Either that, or at least you advocate stealing from everyone so you can have what you want they way you want it and how you want it - for freeeeeeeeeee.
Rush may have to be politically correct here, but I don;t have to be. You area demon, an agent of evil. You are a traitor to those who founded this nation on INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. You have EVERY right to access birth control so long as YOU pay for it or someone offers you charity to do so. you have NO RIGHT to employ big brother bully government to steal from another to pay for what you want. You are, indeed, just a common thief.

Here is a list I found at a Left wing site. The Left is getting traction on this and I have been reading on Left wing blogs...they are not stopping. They do not believe his apology and hate him more for it. I don't understand why Rush Limbaugh, for the first time since I have listened to his show, did as the Left demanded.
Anyway, get in contact with these companies. Let those who have pulled their sponsorship know that you will not do business with them and those who have not, let them know if they pull, you will not do business with them.

It infuriates me how the Left degrades women, insults them, spits upon them merely because they are not Conservatives. Women are called bimbos, c*nt and no one says anything.
Stupid Right wingers, Republicans feel a little heat from the Left because Rush Limbaugh rightly called a woman what she said she was during a Congressional hearing and they run like fools, bend over and hold their ankles while the Left has its way with the Right.
The Left is VERY well organized on this. Go to a few Left wing sites and this is all over the place. They are calling like crazy these companies. quite a few of them admitting that they have never done business with these companies, but will claim that they did or were about to until they realized they sponsored Rush Limbaugh.

But when we believe something about someone based on their behavior or what they admit in public, we do not beat around the bush, we say it as we see it. No political correctness.
There is a time and place where the word slut can be used on a woman and Sandra Fluke is either prostituting herself to Left win causes, a slut of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, President Obama or she is having so much sex it makes her what?
Sandra Fluke, a Left wing radical activists, who sole purpose of enrolling into Georgetown's Law school is to force the university to go against its Catholic morals and have them cover contraceptives, said she needs $3,000 worth of free contraceptives. What does that make her?
Motherbelt, we lose Rush Limbaugh and the Right wing in America will be set back for decades.
I am a father, if my daughter is acting like a slut, I would tell her to her face. If she starts acting like a slut and everyone finds out, if friends tell me and say it public, it is my daughters fault not the fault of those who called her a slut.
Sandra Fluke is either a political slut, selling herself to the Left wing politicians or she is a sexual slut...and something tell me that from her testimony, it may be both. Now, I would have NEVER found out about her sexual behavior if she didn't give a PUBLIC testimony infront of Congress using my money. Thus, I blame Sandra Fluke, not Rush Limbaugh. I just can't see your point or Galvanic's.

While I respect the opinion many posters here who have said that Rush Limbaugh should have been more judicious with his selection of verbiage; should apologize for what he did say; and who are glad that he did so; I personally see this whole mess as just another example of certain conservatives screaming about the double standard in use; who then join in with all the caterwauling from the lefties.

Fluke came to Georgetown University interested in contraceptive coverage: She researched the Jesuit college’s health plans for students before enrolling, and found that birth control was not included. “I decided I was absolutely not willing to compromise the quality of my education in exchange for my health care,” says Fluke, who has spent the past three years lobbying the administration to change its policy on the issue. The issue got the university president’s office last spring, where Georgetown declined to change its policy.

There are professional Left wing activist who attempt to get into more Conservative institutions to do everything with in their power to make them much more Liberal. Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it is true.
Sandra Fluke has chained herself to doors, gates, etc at Georgetown demanding that the health insurance policy be changed.

She has stated that, when asked why she didn't go to another school if she didn't approve of the contraceptive policy at Georgetown, she should be able to attend the best school she can. She's the poster child for the entitlement mentality. I don't agree with Rush's choice of words. But this young lady is no babe in the woods.

She lied or at the very least mis-represented herself to Congress. The left doesn't care about her, in the same way they didn't care about Cindy Sheehan, they are using this to try to silence a voice from the right. Perhaps if they used the same standards on themselves I would feel differently, but considering what they say about women regularly on the left, this makes no sense.
I won't let them silence a conservative over this if I can help it.
At worst, Rush made a mistake he's apologized for.

Ulterior motives*
Submitted by cajun2 on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 10:42pm.
Why would this young woman go BEFORE CONGRESS and lie to the American people forever to be recorded in the halls of history?
Why would this woman go before congress and openly admit her promiscuous lifestyle and DEMAND society take responsibility for supporting that lifestyle?
What motive did she feel was important enough to lie to congress and present herself to the public as a SLUT and then show outrage when called a slut?
Who, in congress, knew this woman well enough and is powerful enough to get her a chair to speak at a committee hearing?
Who in congress knew this woman well enough to know, BEFOREHAND, that she was going to misrepresent her identity and her real reason for testifying before that committee?
Who in congress has the ethics lower than a cesspool that would arrange for this outright misrepresentation of an all important issue before the American people?
Who has the power to manipulate the media to coordinate with those who chose this avenue to deflect from the real issues before us?
THESE are the questions Rush was trying to get the American people to ask themselves.

Democrat Organized Mock Hearing
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Sun, 03/04/2012 - 11:59am.
My understanding of the Fluke "testimony" was that it wasn't actually before Congress, but just before a bunch of Democrats. According to this CBS website story about Limbaugh's apology: ".......Fluke's testimony before the Democrat-organized mock hearing after being cut from the witness list by Republican leadership at an official hearing.....". It's not accurate to say she testified before Congress, yet that has become another casualty of the truth, and intentionally so.
Here's a story about why the Republicans refused to allow Fluke's testimony before the actual Congressional Committee.

Radical and MB,
but it is not that Rush Limbaugh miscategorized Sandra Fluke. She gave a public testimony, in which she lied. She also described her sexual life and that of her friends. Limbaugh gave it the name that anyone would have given it without a second thought back in the 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s...but then came the 60s and Ms. Fluke's behavior is no longer considered slutty because somehow acting like a slut is not archaic. it is forward thinking, it is brave, it is so cutting edge for a woman to sleep around and Liberals will have your head if you call it what it is, acting like a slut. Instead, it is calling Ms. Fluke's sexual behavior by its name what is wrong and immoral.
We live in such an upside down world. A woman admits in public that she sleeps around and calling her a slut is what is wrong, not the fact that she sleeps around.

You failed to see the correct and ONLY point to Rush's comment. (typical) This NON-WORKING STUDENT came to congress, and said she needs contraceptives so she can screw her boyfriend between exams. She expected me and other taxpayers, (WORKING PEOPLE) to pay for her recreational activity. Until this woman WORKS, she has NO RIGHT to demand that working people pay for her RECREATIONAL activities. Taxpayers don't owe students anything, they are worthless inferiors UNTIL THEY GRADUATE AND GET A JOB!!!!!! I thought Liberals care about WORKING PEOPLE. If liberals did they would not take our money and give it to her, ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT MONEY WOULD NOT GO TO HER EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By taking our money so she could engage in sex, she is a SLUT PROSTITUTE. The Taxpayers are her JOHNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides, can't she ask her parents for the money and leave us out of it? If she could ask congress on TV, what stopped her from asking her parents first? Lastly, people who go to Georgetown are very wealthy, why are the taxpayers subsidizing THEIR WEALTH!?!? I though subsidizing the wealthy was not what liberals do, I thought that was one of the points that the GOOD GUY OWS protestors were against?

Submitted by Liberallies on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 9:56pm.
Motherbelt,
How can you equate Limbaugh to Ed Schultz?
Schultz threw it at Laura Ingraham out of the blue.
Sandra Fluke was talking about sex, her sex life, that of her friends. About sex behind closed doors about having us pay for her sex life choices. She said all this in public and Rush Limbaugh is at fault for calling her what Ms. Fluke insinuated she is in public?
Sandra Fluke made her self a public figure, she made her sex life public and part of the national debate. Limbaugh reacted and categorized her behavior based on her very public Congressional testimony and it is Rush's fault that he called Ms. Fluke behavior what it is?
It is Sandra Fluke's fault that she was called out on her behavior which she made public.
I honestly believe that too often we on the Right, we Conservatives play too nice, are mincing words so we somehow feel we are bigger, better and more moral than the Left. Calling a Spade a Spade is not immoral or wrong especially when the Spade publicly announces she is a Spade.
This is why I love Rush Limbaugh, loved Andrew Breibart both of these could careless about political correctness and called the Left what they are...a bunch of immoral, degenerate radical, intolerant totalitarians who want to shame us into silence while imposing their personal beliefs on the rest of America.

Submitted by Rush Fan on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 11:51pm.
definitely don't agree with you that Rush is no better than Ed Schultz. You must not be a regular listener of Rush.
Just as in his use of "Magic Negro" in referring to Obama, which, as you know, was originated by liberal Los Angeles Times columnist David Ehrenstein, Rush, as he said in his apology, "illustrated the absurd with absurdity". If you were a regular listener to Rush you would know that his illustrations are often exaggerated. The Leftist media go crazy when they hear one of Rush's over-the-top examples, such as I Hope Obama Fails. Rush loves to tweak the Leftist media.
However, I do agree with you that Rush should not have used the words "slut" and "prostitute" to describe
Flake,I mean Fluke, who in my opinion is a Feminazi flake. Rush finally came to the same conclusion; hence the apology.~False conflation
Submitted by Wrathful Brunette on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 10:00pm.
First of all, I think every word Fluke said about birth control was a lie. I'd be willing to bet she doesn't spend that much on birth control, and I'd also bet money that she doesn't need it quite as badly as she made out. She doesn't strike me as the warm and fuzzy type, if you catch my drift.
Secondly, the woman came to national prominence through complaining that she can't afford to have as much sex as she wants, without the risk of making a baby she doesn't want. Her purpose in doing so was to get the government to interfere with Georgetown's insurance policy, in order to increase government control, period. This is a liberal trial balloon, to see just how far they can go in browbeating private institutions. So, she deliberately sexualized herself, under false pretenses, in order to fulfill an underhanded and nefarious purpose.

She may not be whoring her body -frankly, I doubt she'd find many men interested- but she certainly whored her soul when she long ago sold out to the progressive feminist doctrine. She whored herself in front of Congress. Okay, not the real Congress, but she prostituted herself to Nancy Pelosi to illicit the exact reaction by the media.

Fluke, Flake, Fraud--Or All Three?
Submitted by berlet98 on Sun, 03/04/2012 - 3:42am.
Fluke, Flake, Fraud--or All Three?
No stranger to controversy, conservative talk radio commentator Rush Limbaugh stirred up a wasp’s nest last week when he concluded Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke had to be a slut and a prostitute.
More specifically, he said, “What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex–what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.” Limbaugh added, ”She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.”
On Saturday, without retracting the reasons for his rant, Limbaugh apologized to Ms. Fluke on his website for his “insulting word choices.”
He needn’t have.
The derogatory term “slut” refers to a sexually-promiscuous woman, “prostitute” to someone who accepts payment for sex acts. As injudicious and inflammatory as his words were, Limbaugh was correct since, by definition, Sandra Fluke fits the definitions.
Republican Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum characterized Limbaugh as “absurd,” House Speaker Boehner termed his language ”inappropriate,” and President Barack Hussein Obama called Ms. Fluke with some encouraging words.
In what was the most outrageous defense, Jesuit Georgetown University President John DeGioa praised her: “She was respectful, sincere, and spoke with conviction. She provided a model of civil discourse. This expression of conscience was in the tradition of the deepest values we share as a people.”
What Jesuitical BS!
On the other side of the controversy, Bill O’Reilly also criticized Ms. Fluke for wanting taxpayers to pay her for her hyperactive sexual activities, Michelle Malkin called her a radical feminist tool, and Eric Bolling said, “She seems like a plant.”
Rep. Darryl Issa precipitated the Fluke controversy when he refused to allow her to testify at last month’s hearings on religious liberty and the constitutionality of Obama’s mandate that church-related institutions bury their collective consciences by providing free insurance coverage for women seeking sterilization, abortafacient drugs, and contraceptives.
Obama’s “compromise,” shifting the burden of providing “free” birth control to those institutions’ insurance companies, simply meant religious institutions would pay indirectly through increased premiums for what they regard as morally-objectionable procedures.
Issa’s decision that Ms. Fluke was unqualified to testify in a matter involving the Constitution and religious rights was totally valid.
Nevertheless, ignoring constitutional issues, Democrats used Ms. Fluke as a tool to cover Obama’s infringement on religious liberty and promptly provided her with a forum to espouse her point of view.
The next day she appeared on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” where she told Ed Schultz that the outpouring of support ”really has meant a lot to me. And I think to women across America . . . I don’t really see why anyone would not condemn this type of language.”
She said she would testify in the future if asked and, with a blinding sense of altruism, promised, “I think what I’m going to be doing from here on out is just continuing to do what I have been, sharing the stories of the women who contact me and really trying to make sure that their voices are being heard. . . ” (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=15503.)

You have chosen to submit to an idea that seeks to undermine our freedoms as guaranteed by the first amendment. Your side clamors on about separation of church and state but are silent when state actually invades the rights of the church.
I became a proflowers customer because of your affiliation with Mr. Limbaugh but no more. Please remove me from you customer list and send no more emails to me.
When word of Rush's advertisers

pulling out, I checked one of them (sleep giant) out to see the feed back. There where a grand total of 4 tweets complaining about Rush. Four! Really? A company let themselves be bullied around by four tweets.
Amazing double standard

When...........
Rush offers valid pertinent conservative commentary that is critical of liberal (progressive) policy
He is just an entertainer........a radio buffoon
Rush goes "over the line" (in my opinion) to expose a political activist for her purposeful "gaming" of a religous institution
He is THE spokesman for the Republican Party
Bill Maher is asked by legitimate media to offer liberal (progressive lol) commentary that is critical of conservative policy
He is expected to be taken seriously as a qualified political/policy commentator
Bill Maher says “Did you hear this – Sarah Palin finally heard what happened in Japan and she’s demanding that
we invade ‘Tsunami,’” Maher said. “I mean she said, ‘These ‘Tsunamians’ will not get away with this.’ Oh speaking of
dumb twats, did you –” Maher isn’t one to avoid crossing those lines and was rewarded with approval from his audience
“I let the cat out the bag on that one, huh folks,” Maher said.
He is just an entertainer.....it was simply a joke made by a comedian.

Rush and Carbonite
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Sun, 03/04/2012 - 3:17pm.
Rush did all sorts of off the cuff, personal, endorsements of Carbonite. I never heard of Carbonite until I heard about the company on Limbaugh's show. My guess is, that Carbonite can't keep up with the number of people and businesses trying to cancel their service.
And I just took a look at Carbonite's Facebook page. Looks like it's up and running just fine.

Submitted by killa37 on Sun, 03/04/2012 - 4:50pm.
I actually listen to lib radio once in a while, just to keep my little peabrain loose and flexible, and I've heard Carbonite ads over there too - I think these guys try and cover their bases.
I can't see Rush suffering too much from this, to tell you the truth. Hell, the guy had his deafness problem, he had his drug problem, he's had Boy Barry telling America NOT to listen to him, and you know the rest................Rush is public enemy #1 to the libs, MSM, and Democrats, as well as a number of Republicans. And he's 'the big voice' with the biggest audience, so whatever happens as a result of this 'slut' comment (which I don't disagree with, as a matter of fact - but it 'sounds bad' - and this IS Rush that we're talking about, so the whole MSM/Dem/REGIME is looking for a reason to expand their uproar) will probably be short-lived and his show will keep moving forward - especailly being that this is the year of the most important election in the history of our country, as far as I'm concerned.
Unfortunatly, we don't seem to have a candidate that has enough 'inspiration' to negate Boy Barry's 'dis-inspiration' - at least for now............we'll have to see how the coming months play out.

I'm ashamed of your company's decision to pull ads from Rush Limbaugh's show. Perhaps I would not have called the woman in question that name, but the thought behind it is mine too. No government has any right to take my money and use it to by condoms so this woman can have sex. She offers me nothing in return for my money and therefore is not entitiled to it. If you can't afford to have protected sex; stop having sex until you become more responsible. It is not her right to have sex at my expense. Why on earth would you let politics make your business decision for you? We who disagree have money too. We won't be spending it at your place.

I am one of many that will be boycotting your service. Grow a spine and remember that it was Rush that got you many of your customers.
Actually, I'm learning a lot from posters on the Carbonite Facebook page. Looks like the CEO is an Obama supporter and a MoveOn.org supporter.

As for the Carbonite Facebook link, every time I have clicked on the link or inserted the link (the same link as yours) in my browser (both Chrome and Firefox) today, including now, it reverts to the Facebook.com Home Page. It's strange that I can't access it.
