When is "slut" not insulting? Carbonite and the Liberal double standard

A double standard exists in the Liberal realm of pseudo-impartiality, and it is on full display with the recent controversy over Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s comments aimed at Sandra Fluke.

As a result of Limbaugh’s comments, in which he referred to Ms Fluke as a “slut,” several of his advertisers, including Quicken Loans, and most recently ProFlowers, dropped their advertising on the Rush Limbaugh radio show.

Carbonite is an online computer backup service company that Rush Limbaugh has highly touted, reading their ads live on the air.

Outcry over Limbaugh’s comments led him to apologize to Sandra Fluke for calling her a “slut” however Carbonite still withdrew its advertising from Limbaugh's show.

Actually, Rush’s description is still technically correct. I have to apologize for saying she was a sexual slut, but I think you could still rightfully call her a slut based on her own slovenly and lax statements.
Dan Aykroyd made a pretty good living calling Jane Curtin an “ignorant slut”. My goodness, we used to greet each other in the hallways at school saying, “Jane, you ignorant slut!” We thought it was funny. I didn’t hear about any advertisers being threatened if they didn’t pull away from Saturday Night Live. So the hipsters were using the word in the 1970s, and it was cool, but now it’s bad? Sorry, there’s that old double standard again.

Well, for four days Rush combined calling her a "slut" with saying that Fluke 'testified' that was having so much sex that should could barely walk, and similar comments.

Yes, that's just one of the actual things that Limbaugh said. So he was clearly using the term 'slut' to refer to excessive physical sex.

And I don't know why Rush would say that Fluke 'testified' unless he kept slipping up. Fluke wasn't under oath. The Democrats wanted to call her as an expert witness (which is why she was talking about other women, and healthcare programs in general, and not about herself). She wasn't qualified to be a witness. So she merely read a presentation to Democrats and the idiot media covered it as if she were an expert.

But she wasn't under oath and she didn't 'testify' to anything.
