Onslaught: ABC Airs Eight Limbaugh Stories in Less Than Five Days

By Scott Whitlock | March 06, 2012 | 13:49

Good Morning America's Dan Harris on Tuesday highlighted liberal hopes to turn Rush Limbaugh's "slut" comments into a "Don Imus moment." The March 6 segment brings the total number of ABC stories on the subject to eight in just four and a half days.

Harris played two nasty clips, one showing Jon Stewart mocking the conservative host as a "terrible person." Harris excitedly related, "This morning, liberal groups are going all out. They're mounting an aggressive online campaign to get Limbaugh's sponsors to pull their ads. They are hoping this is Rush Limbaugh's Don Imus moment."

He then played a clip of Stewart excoriating, "I don't get too worked up about the things Rush Limbaugh says, because he is, and has been for many years, a terrible person."

A snippet of Stephen Colbert followed: "And, remember, he only apologized to keep his advertisers. Proving rush will do anything with his mouth for cash."

Harris ended by admitting, "It is even possible, some experts say, that this controversy could actually help Limbaugh draw a larger audience."

Guest host Elizabeth Vargas had a sour look on her face as she replied, "Really?"

ABC offered two stories on Friday, one on GMA and one on World News. Saturday was the same. Sunday featured an anchor brief on GMA. On Monday, the network produced another two. Tuesday, thus far, saw an additional report.

On Monday, ABC's reporters berated the GOP presidential candidates for "equivocating" and not condemning Limbaugh harshly enough.

A transcript of the March 6 segment, which aired at 7:10am EST, follows:

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

ELIZABETH VARGAS: Let's turn now to Rush Limbaugh. He's on the defensive, even after apologizing for a second time for calling a law student a, quote, "slut and prostitute" on his radio show. But, the attacks on him just keep coming, despite the apologies, ABC's Dan Harris has the latest on the backlash. More advertisers backing out of his show and two stations dropping him.

DAN HARRIS: Yeah. Absolutely. Hi there. Good morning to you. This morning, liberal groups are going all out. They're mounting an aggressive online campaign to get Limbaugh's sponsors to pull their ads. They are hoping this is Rush Limbaugh's Don Imus moment. Overnight, the late night comics had the proverbial field day with Rush Limbaugh's contrition mission.
           
RUSH LIMBAUGH: But the apology was heart felt. The apology was sincere.

JON STEWART: I don't get too worked up about the things Rush Limbaugh says, because he is, and has been for many years, a terrible person.

STEPHEN COLBERT: And, remember, he only apologized to keep his advertisers. Proving rush will do anything with his mouth for cash.

HARRIS: Meanwhile, more sponsors are pulling out. The latest, Allstate and AOL, bringing the total to at least ten. Even the musician Peter Gabriel got in on the act, telling Limbaugh he can no longer use the song Sledgehammer, which was playing in the background last week as Limbaugh mercilessly mocked Sandra Fluke.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.

HARRIS: A 30-year-old law student who testified before Congress in support of forcing insurers to cover birth control costs.

LIMBAUGH: And I, again, sincerely apologize for using those two words to describe her.

HARRIS: Fluke appeared on ABC's The View, Monday morning and I caught up with her backstage. You don't seem displeased by the pressure he's under right now.

SANDRA FLUKE: I don't think it's going be a bad thing for the women of America if we don't hear this type of rhetoric again.

HARRIS: And yet, Limbaugh, himself, doesn't seem so nervous.

LIMBAUGH: Those advertisers that no longer want your business, fine.

HARRIS: As for Sandra Fluke, she's making it pretty clear she's not about to forgive the man who called her a slut, even if he reaches out to her personally.

FLUKE: The attacks he made against me personally on the air were enough personal contact for a lifetime.

HARRIS: As much as it may frustrate some of the left to hear this, Limbaugh probably is not going anywhere any time soon. He's got 15 million listeners on nearly 600 stations, although at least two of them have dropped him. It is even possible, some experts say, that this controversy could actually help Limbaugh draw a larger audience.

VARGAS: Really?

HARRIS: Yes.

VARGAS: Okay, Dan, thanks so much.

Rush is saving this country.

Here is Rush, echoing Joan Walsh: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201203060004

She wrote "whats wrong with White People?" Rush says "Whats wrong with White Women?"

Oh rush, sexist AND racist. And taking a cue from a liberal. Classic!

Anyways, a few things.

David Letterman apologized, and I believe he got his Palin daughters mixed up.

Ed Schultz apologized, and was suspended. Frankly, I think he should be fired because his show sucks.

And Bill Maher shouldnt have used those terms about Palin. Period.

Yet, heres the difference between left wing and right wing smears: Righties have to lie about lefties views to smear them. Lefties use the truth.

Maher reacts to things Palin actually says and does. Limbaugh had to misrepresent Fluke, still misrepresents fluke, and doesnt really apologize for anything except his word choice.

He blasted her parents. He suggested she should go into pornography. He went on and on for three days. Rush was trying to get attention, and he got plenty of it. He does this on purpose. And now you guys complain when he gets news coverage?

Stop, please, sides....hurt....can't....catch......breath.....  And, yes, I will insist on calling you Shirley.

You expose yourself to ridicule and expose your true feelings about women with the "Maher reacts to things Palin actually says and does".  So, it's OK when Maher does it, right?  And, no, Rush did not misrepresent Fluke.

Schultz "apologized"?   His "apology" was carefully crafted by someone far above his intellectual pay grade, so that doesn't count.  And, you couldn't quite bring yourself to say that Maher should have apologized and fallen on his sword.  The T-word and C-word are far worse derogatory terms than slut or prostitute.  

To re-elect Obama would be like the Titanic backing up and hitting the iceberg again.

Who watches Bill Maher? You have to pay a subscription fee to watch him. He's not on the Mainstream. Why bother with him?

Palin's statements have been deemed Politifacts Lie of the Year (Death Panels). What did Bill Maher get wrong?

Dude, Everyone has acknowledged that Rush was wrong on the facts. She wasnt asking for taxpayers to fund her sexcapades. Even Georgetown's President says Rush was way off base. So does Fox News Bret Baier's panel. You're not winning this one.

I think Maher should apologize for using that language. It's not funny.

And what does it matter? You'll say his doesn't count either.

Death panels have already informally begun. If you know a person on medicare, you have to watch their care very carefully. We were told to stop my mother from receiving antibiotics in February of 2010 because she was ill and had no quality of life.

She lived until April 2011, going out to dinner and coming to family events until the end. The government doesn't want to pay for the care of the elderly.

And yes, Healthcare is very expensive, and Grandmas that are 100 years old and getting brand new hearts so they can live an extra six months is a bit of a waste, when there are young children who could benefit more from it. But Old Tea Partiers are "entitled" to free healthcare because they worked all thier lives. There are no easy answers here.

Submitted by UpNorth on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 1:50am.

slink away, you've got me, Braindamage.  So, Politifact saying that someone is wrong on something, which in and of itself is laughable, makes it OK for Maher to call her a t**t and c**t?  Wow, you're really reaching to justify what the left does. lefty.

And, no, I won't comment on what Maher does, or says, about Rush.  But, you're the one who brought this up, so I'll comment all I want to and about you.  You're wrong, your side is wrong, your side and you are hypocrites. 

I could care less what the President of Georgetown says, I could care less what Politifact says, and I could care less what you say.  So, Dude, you're wrong, not "everyone" has said Rush was wrong.  And, by the way, look up what Ms. Fluck, or Fluke said about heterosexist insurance companies and the vile way they don't fund transgender reassignment surgeries.  She's a professional lobbyist, not an innocent victim.  If she can't take the heat, maybe she SHOULD stay in the bedroom.  So, to quote  you, you're not winning this one.

Submitted by Vandamage2000 on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 11:10am.

I'm not going to defend everything Fluke said in her entire life. I'm focused on her testimony. She was not trying to get free birth control paid by taxpayers so she could have "so much sex." If that is how you interpret it, then you are wrong.

Bill Maher is wrong to use those words, and I do think he should apologize. I don't think its ok.

But I'm not angry about Rush calling Fluke a slut. I'm upset that he, and you, still don't understand her testimony.

But, I do understand her "testimony".

Submitted by UpNorth on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 12:34pm.

First of all, it wasn't testimony, in that the Pelosi Dog and Pony Show can't swear in witnesses, has no power to issue subpoenas, can't find anyone in contempt of Congress and has no power to charge a "witness" with perjury. Other than that, it certainly was "testimony".  And, being the clueless drone you are, that was sarcasm.

As to what she said, the posters here understand perfectly, she wants the government to force a religious institution to, against their beliefs and teachings, finance birth control and abortifacients.   I do believe that Ms. Fluke has also demanded that "heterosexist" insurance companies finance gender reassignment surgeries, but that was just in a paper published at the Georgetown Center for Gender and the Law, or whatever left wing outlet it was.  But, it does point out to anyone with a couple of braincells to rub together what her agenda is, so kindly take notes, braindamage.

tes·ti·mo·ny
   [tes-tuh-moh-nee, or, especially Brit., -muh-nee] Show IPA

noun, plural -nies.
1.
Law . the statement or declaration of a witness under oath or affirmation, usually in court.

2.
evidence in support of a fact or statement; proof.

3.
open declaration or profession, as of faith.

4.
Usually, testimonies. the precepts of God.

5.
the Decalogue as inscribed on the two tables of the law, or the ark in which the tables were kept. Ex. 16:34; 25:16.

Sometimes, words have more than one meaning. Testimony is not just a legal term. Again, I'm not going to dig up everything Fluke has ever said, because thats not the issue. I'm focused on what she said to Pelosi. Just like I could dig up the countless other things Rush said throughout his career, it has nothing to do with this incident.

The same institution that outlaws birth control allows Viagra. Do you think thats consistent? Why outlaw birth control because it could be used for "evil" (even though it has uses for celibate women) while allowing guys with limp dicks to screw whoever they want?

So which definition are you going with?

Submitted by UpNorth on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 5:38pm.

For Ms. Fluke and her "testimony", it would have to be #3, right?  Or #4?  She was, in fact and deed, almost evangelizing for birth control, and she's also evangelized for lopadicktomies.  Because, yet again, Ignorant One, she was not anywhere near #1 or #2.

If, indeed, G'town does cover Viagra, they should lop that off too.  But, I note that you provide no link to back up that assertion.

Haven't you and your side of the aisle been telling anyone who'll listen, that the government has no business in anyone's bedroom?  Now, it seems you want government in everyone's bedroom.

More Damage to truth*

Submitted by cajun2 on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 2:42pm.

Liberals are the haters. They are the ones who relentlessly attacks conservatives and especially conservative women. As long as everyone agrees with liberals then they are "free" to speak out as they please regardless of the vile contemptous nature of their comments.
When conservatives think beyond the irrelevant issues and focus on our rights and the constitution, we invite attacks from those who want "one party", "one world view", " one voice". As humans we will never totally agree on any issue. We have what is known as free will. To force a small group of peoples beliefs on the majority of society, it is known as tyranny.

Conservatives know better than to focus on stupidity of issues like, government subsidized life styles, transgender surgery, but rather focus on the blatant attack on Christianity. If we are to accept the hedonistic self absorbed pleasure seeking society, we are doomed to chaos. But liberals have this inablity to see beyond, I WANT, and see consequences of their entitlement and irresponsible mentality.

The use of 'meat', however, must be judicious. 

Never refer to your 'mate' as 'meat'; never use 'meat' in a 'tame' manner - only in  'meta' 'meat' mode.

As far as the doofus with the username 'Vandamage',  his porn connections might have been more apparent had I used either 'spoiled' or 'rotten' as a preceding adjective for the word 'meat'.     :o)

I think using 'meat' in this context is just sort of a generally snide term used on people who are below you in the pecking order, and it's not really an actual physical definition.............I mean, I'd use it on my teenage girls back in my soccer days sometimes, and - as you know - girls and boys are different - in many ways!!!

But it can also be used as a jive term...........some of the young guys here use it on me. I have a real disdain for 'dude' or 'bro' or 'brother' or any of those terms, so if a young guy says 'what's up, meat', I've gotta laugh.

However...she's at college most of the time, so as long as she's not around...She's pretty definate that I'm her mom and not her friend. Works for me since friends won't tell her what time to come home at night and warn her not to go Fluking around at school.

I like killa's explanation of 'meat"; and it is likely a phrase which is better judged when the verbal inflection is actually heard and the accompanying facial features seen when it is being pronounced.

I remember a Smothers Brothers sketch where one sings, "My old man's a cotton pickin', finger lickin', chicken plucker.  Whatta ya think about that?"

The other one says, "I think you better not make a mistake!"

Meat Market

Submitted by miss911ninja on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 4:12am.

If it doesn't involve meat and potatoes, then the word "meat" always reminds me of the above-mentioned "meat market," slang for a pick-up bar, or "meat head," the term used by Archie Bunker for his son in law Michael.

Then....there's also the meat of the matter.

Ahhhhhh Ms. Lovely Rad............don't worry too much about your daughter and her judgement calls against you - it's just her rebellious youth speaking!!! At some point, she is going to realize that you ARE the 'man'.........whoops!!! the WOMAN.....
and she'll allow you to be yourself. At her age, she might not be ready for that yet.

And that Mom/friend thing?? You're gonna hafta let that thing work it's way out too..............it's more her problem than yours, because you've spent 20 years being her Mom, but that doesn't mean that you can't be friends also. She'll come around - don't stress about it. My younger son was always my 'friend'...........hell, he never even called me 'Dad' until he grew up, but my older son was just the opposite - complete with the defiance and the refusal and everything else. But anymore, he's quite happy that i'm his Dad AND his friend and mentor.

Yeah, this dumb-ass Georgetown bimbo has added a new word to our lexicon - that's for sure. And I think that she's too damn stupid to figure out that it's a derogitory term!!!!

Submitted by NCfairandbalanced on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 2:18pm.

When the story dies, it won't be because it "ran its course". It will be because other advertisers will have picked up the slack, and more people than ever are watching Rush. Of course, they won't report THAT. And they won't be able to report what they are now with the above scenario at play. So the story will "die". Wait and see.

Advertisers

Submitted by txjohn50 on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 2:21pm.

Conservative radio is many times more influential than liberal radio for a reason; more Americans have conservative views. Cable and broadcast news organizations subscribing liberal themes and willing to overlook or ignore or abuse the values of the majority of Americans are running scared. Advertisers support broadcasters for one fundamental reason - to generate income. The companies that abandon Rush will suffer more than he. Consumers will make decisions based in part on which companies support the broadcasters whose views mirror their own. I have absolutely supported certain products and dropped others for political and ethical reasons. If liberals truly want to get into an economic shoving match with conservatives, they should remember that those who work, who produce, who provide, who pay taxes and who save will, in the long run, have much more ammunition with which to fight.

I was listening to 560am WND

Submitted by Liberallies on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 3:44pm.

I was listening to 560am WND in the Chicago market this morning, the Big John and Amy Show. The Amy lady was going off on Rush Limbaugh saying he is a pig, and blah, blah, blah...WND is a Conservative radio station in Chicago. I also listen to Michael Medved on this station.

Amy then played Sandra Fluke saying on The View that Limbaugh said that she had so much sex she had a hard time walking around in the Capitol. After playing this, Amy said that Rush was a pig, disgusting, etc.

NBers, NB, did Limbaugh say this? I listened to Rush's first comments on Sandra Fluke and the following days, not once did I hear Limbaugh say this, but I was in and out of the car.

I want to write a strong worded letter to WND demanding that this Amy lady issue an apology on air to Rush Limbaugh for passing as facts what Sandra Fluke is saying. But before I do so, i want to make sure that Rush didn't say what Sandra Fluke claims he said.

Anyone know? THANKS!

I did hear Rush say something to the effect that Ms. Fluke should be having trouble walking after she'd had so much sex.

I think Ms. Fluke is probably lying about having sex with men in the first place, because she's a militant feminist/GLBT activist/ "women's studies" graduate. It just doesn't fit the picture. But she wasn't lying about what Rush said.

Miss911ninja, Well, if he

Submitted by Liberallies on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 4:10pm.

Miss911ninja,

Well, if he said it, he said it. He has apologized.

The guy, John, on The Big John and Amy Show, did go after Amy asking her if she wanted Bill Maher and other Left wing "comedians" who constantly insult women to resign. He also asked her if she thought they were pigs as she was labeling Limbaugh. She stayed quiet and he said, "...that's what I thought..."

Sandra Fluke is a Left wing radical activist, period. She has even pushed for Federal funding for crazies who want to have a sex change. She went to Georgetown with an agenda. She made her sex life public and now cries when Americans use their freedom of speech to give her sex life a name. Typical Liberal who doesn't want to take responsability for her actions.

And by the way, just so people know, Georgetown does cover, under certain conditions, contraceptives!

What Sandra Fluke and her ilk want is contraceptive coverage so they can have sex without consequences, NOT for medicinal purposes.

Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, Rush Limbaugh stepped into a trap that was set up for the Republican politicians.

We must win back the argument, steer the narrative to where it is suppose to go. Obama and his anti-freedom minions pushing their beliefs down our throats. Forcing religious institutions who are against contraceptives to pay for these.

No Muss No Fuss

Submitted by miss911ninja on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 4:42pm.

I would also add that she and her ilk want the kind of contraception that's "no muss, no fuss." The pill falls into that category, as opposed to contraceptive foam, diaphrams, and condoms. But why all the focus on oral contraceptives? Why isn't she also demanding coverage of Intra Uterine Devices (IUD's) which are implanted so you don't even have to think about them. They're even LESS fuss than the pill, which you have to remember to take every day. So I just don't get it.

Submitted by Sick-n-Tired on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 3:47pm.

In addition to the Istandwithrush.com, I might recommend that furthermore, a petition be started against the companies that have pulled their advertising and the we BOYCOTT them. I have a feeling if these week kneed advertisers got the reciprocated boycott threat from the immense Rush listening audience that they might just change their tunes......

Sick-n-Tired,

Yes, we must start one, but it must have legs and GROW legs!

Erick Erickson from RedState.com has an excellent essay that all of us on the Right MUST read!

Whether we on the Right because of the Pro-Life cause, Free Market, Pro-Family...what ever our main cause is that has on on the Right, we MUST united as the Left unites, pro-abortionists, unions, etc unite well even if the Left wing issue is not their cause.

http://www.redstate.com/erick/2012/03/06/silencing-the-right/

Great article, MUST read.

Thus, how do we unite and have a meaninfugl boycott against the companies that have pulled from Rush Limbaugh, but not from Left wing shows where the host has said much, much worse and never apologized?

as of late I am in the mode of, "great that we post on NB and other Conservative blogs...but we must take action on the Left will run us over!"

I've heard Carbonite on Rush's show, Hannity's, as well as at ADD-riddled Stephanie Miller show, and possibly the Fargo FatAss Ed Shultz too..........and probably others. I'm sure that Carbonite tries to cover all their bases. But if their stock plumeted today, or yesterday, it's because Rush IS the big dog, and they get more business from him than anyone else.
