South Florida Media Attacks Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/03/2012 5:51:23 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

Looking at a sample of Miami media this morning, and it is easy to see the appalling bias rampant in the local left wing media. I will be conducting a boycott of my own, noting the names of some prominent advertisers and letting them know I don't like the leftist bias at channels 4, 6, 7, and 10.

I rarely pick up the rags Herald and Sentinel....but they're undoubtedly joining in on the lies about Rush.

The response to “boycott Limbaugh” should be “sure, as soon as you(media/leftist) call for the resignation and criminal trial of Eric holder for the murder of Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata and thousands of Mexican citizens THEN we’ll talk about what Rush said”.... I imagine they would back off this real quick.

The nice thing is that Rush doesn’t need to back down. It’s not likely they will take him down, and even if they do, he’s set for life. He doesn’t need them near as much as his millions of listeners want/need him.

“Rush will resonate with Americans huge.”

Bingo. That’s what set the liberals off. Rush said what needed to be said. How dare she ask for free birth control?

Rush is immune to intimidation and that drives the Kenyan lizard’s occupier scum even more crazy.

If this woman was not somewhat attractive, she would never have heard from Obama.

Odd that on "Open Friday", the day after Sheriff Arpaio's presentation, Rush spends the show talking about a Georgetown grad student's testimony and never once mentioned, even in passing, the obama document fraud.

Predictably, the msm is now commenting about Rush's comments about her comments and everyone is indignantly commenting on all this indignant commenting...sigh...we're so easily played.

Heard a similar theory this week by a guest on George Noory’s show, about the “smart meters”.

The guest was strongly opposed to the technology, so he was arguing one side, but he made a chilling point:

The “smart meters” can monitor things happening with your energy use. They are not (contrary to common perception) legally mandated.

Yet almost everyone is getting one.

So most of the population is voluntarily accepting a device which in some way, monitors what happens in the privacy of your home.

His concern was, that by so doing (volunteering to accept this technology) that some time in the future, a Constitutional argument could be made that since the devices which monitor into homes have been installed, with the understanding the monitoring (of sorts) is in the technology - that the 4th Amendment protections about the privacy of one’s home will be rendered moot.

In effect, diluting the right to privacy itself.

Simply because now, when it’s actually possible to simply refuse to allow a “smart meter” to be installed, so many have gone along without saying a word.

I’m not a lawyer, but I had to say it seemed like a credible concern.

Only on Coast to Coast, sometimes one finds the unpolished truth mixed in with the aluminum foil. :D

You wrote: “..they join the White House in distorting Rush’s words and attacking his freedom of speech. None of these “news” organizations reported Bill Maher’s hate speech against Sarah Palin. They didn’t report when the Democrat candidate for governor of California called Meg Whitman a whore...but suddenly they’re VERY interested in Rush. The bias makes me want to vomit. I urge you all to join me in holding the LOCAL MEDIA in your town accountable for their bias, too. This is only going to get worse through election day—the goal is to distort and shut down conservative speech. We cannot let it succeed.”

To help us in our efforts not to let it succeed, we need to have the TIMELINE of these events.

When you see the timeline shown below, you will find that Rush was merely ECHOING the 2-day old comments of others and adding his hilarious “illustrating the absurd by being absurd” commentary to the mix.

Here we go:

Sex-Crazed Co-Eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control, Student Tells Pelosi Hearing Touting Freebie Mandate
http://cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/sex-crazed-co-eds-going-broke-buying-birth-control-student-tells-pelosi-hearing
By Craig Bannister
A Georgetown co-ed told Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s hearing that the women in her law school program are having so much sex that they’re going broke, so you and I should pay for their birth control.

Speaking at a hearing held by Pelosi to tout Pres. Obama’s mandate that virtually every health insurance plan cover the full cost of contraception and abortion-inducing products, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said that it’s too expensive to have sex in law school without mandated insurance coverage.

Apparently, four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet if they have to pay for their own contraception, Fluke’s research shows.

“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception), Fluke reported.

It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.

“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,” Fluke told the hearing.

$3,000 for birth control in three years? That’s a thousand dollars a year of sex – and, she wants us to pay for it.

Yes, us. Where do you think the insurance companies forced to cover this cost get the money to pay for these co-eds to have sex? It comes from the health care insurance premiums you and I pay.

But, back to this woman’s complaint that women are spending $3,000 for birth control during her time in college.

“For a lot of students, like me, who are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary,” she complains.

So, they can earn enough money in just one summer to pay for three full years of sex. And, yes, they are full years – since that could translate into having sex nearly three times a day for three years straight, apparently.

At a dollar a condom if she shops at CVS pharmacy’s website, that $3,000 would buy her 3,000 condoms – or, 1,000 a year. (By the way, why does CVS.com list the weight of its condom products in terms of pounds?)

Assuming it’s not a leap year, that’s 1,000 divided by 365 – or having sex 2.74 times a day, every day, for three straight years. And, I thought Georgetown was a Catholic university where women might be prone to shun casual, unmarried sex. At least its health insurance doesn’t cover contraception (that which you subsidize, you get more of, you know).

And, that’s not even considering that there are Planned Parenthood clinics in her neighborhood that give condoms away and sell them at a discount, which could help make her sexual zeal more economical.

Besides, maybe, these female law students could cut back on some other expenses to make room for more birth control in their budgets, instead of making us pick up the tab. With classes and studying and all that sex, who’s got time for cable?

And, let’s not forget about these deadbeat boyfriends (or random hook-ups?) who are having sex 2.74 times a day. If Fluke’s going to ask the government to force anyone to foot the bill for her friends’ birth control, shouldn’t it be these guys?

All of this seems to suggest at least two important conclusions:

If these women want to have sex, we shouldn’t be forced to pay for it, and
If these co-eds really are this guy crazy, I should’ve gone to law school

Hypocrisy on Capitol Hill: Deconstructing a Dishonest Speech About Birth Control
http://biggovernment.com/cjohnson/2012/02/29/hypocrisy-on-capitol-hill-deconstructing-a-dishonest-speech-about-birth-control/
by Charles C. Johnson

As a student at Cornell and treasurer of a a pro-choice organization at the school, Sandra Fluke, helped shut down a pro-life speech on Cornell’s campus by counter protesting. She argued that a pro-life organization at Cornell was about “manipulating [students’] emotions” with misleading statistics about abortion. But when it is her turn to speak on Capitol Hill, the third-year Georgetown Law Student demands she gets her say in a hearing that has nothing to do with birth control.

Fluke, who was awarded a B.S. in Policy Analysis & Management, and a Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies degree from Cornell in 2003, has since become a cause celebre among the political left-wing because she wasn’t allowed to testify in a congressional hearing. The Washington Post has even called her an “expert witness.”

But what is she an expert in? ”I’m an American woman who uses contraceptives,” Fluke said, when asked Thursday by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., about her qualifications to speak at the hearing. Well, there you have it. We are told by congressmen that she speaks for “millions” of women, so let’s have a listen to her testimony before the Democrats on Capitol Hill:

Though Fluke wouldn’t have you know it, most women don’t need birth control. Indeed, if the cost of keeping her ovary was a mere $3,000 a year, why couldn’t her gay friend–assuming she actually exists–take time off of law school to save up for her birth control? Why couldn’t we mandate coverage for women who have the disorder of polycystic ovary syndrome? And if her insurance won’t cover it, why can’t she go and pick up a pack of $9 a month pills from Target? What’s more who said she had to go law school at Georgetown, a Jesuit law school? If birth control were such a serious criteria in one’s life, wouldn’t you choose your law school accordingly? Fluke says that women should refuse to choose between their health and a quality education, but adult life is about making just such choices.

And if this problem is such a real one why don’t we hear from the women themselves, rather than Fluke, about their medical problems? Maybe if Planned Parenthood and other organizations ostensibly dedicated to women’s health weren’t so busy profiting from abortions, they could take some of their nonprofit largesse and give it to women in need.

Ah, but you see, college and law school, like birth control, is a right that comes, if not from our Creator, than from Obama, the creator of our laws.

I have the names from the other thread.

I am starting my mail to each of them and to my family for like action.

I really did not take it as direct name calling since he had made her into a group action, and was way out in the satire area, by the time he got past the early flake, fluke etc. name spoofs.

I am sorry he felt so bad about it, that he had to say he was sorry for doing it.

The total story of her substitution as a witness without “vetting” and all of her activist history as well as her change in age make her totally non-sympathetic to me.

Did he go down to their level as he fears? NO WAY!

I wonder if the other people she talked about have been checked for existence? I bet there are people looking!
