Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist
The Daily Beast ^ | March 4, 2012 | Kirsten Powers

Posted on 03/04/2012 8:43:37 PM PST by SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny

Kirsten Powers may be the last honest liberal/progressive/democrat left in America:

"Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened." -- Kirsten Powers

Have Republicans ever organized boycotts of Dems like Dems did of Glenn Beck and Rush?

They successfully took out Beck getting FNC to cave, so now time for bigger fish Rush.

The Tea party protests were an anomaly. We wont see Republicans organize like that again short Dems retake congress and Obama wins re-election,

In 2009 they went after Letterman to the point where he apologized multiple times and even gave a few minutes long speech on his show. They went after Dan Rather to the point that he was fired. They went after the Wonkette website. There have been successful boycotts/campaigns against6 various liberal/left media figures.

The bigger irony for me is that Powers’ piece is on the Daily Beast and the page that it’s on prominently features one Andrew Sullivan who is arguably the most misogynist and anti-woman commentator out there.

Fun fact is that Powers is from Fairbanks, Alaska

Rush got off message wasting time talking about this nobody Dem operative.

Focus has to be Obama.

Rush and all of us reminded again there are different rules for our side.

“Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts.”

Oh, you silly conservative.

Don’t you understand by now that selected, politically-correct Democrats are no longer bound by the rules that restrain mere mortal men?

Sexism is OK if you are one of these people.

Don’t believe me? Just ask ANYONE in a CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/NPR/MSNBC/WashPost/NyTimes Newsroom!!!

Rush has 20,000,000 listeners daily so there will be replacement advertisers. Rush’s audience is about to skyrocket so marketers better start negotiating while the price is good.

That face, that neck, the shape of that head. Wash off the makeup, give it a military style Boot Camp haircut, a camouflage fatigue shirt, and what have you?

Doesn’t look all that fem to me.

Kirsten Powers may be the last honest liberal/progressive/democrat left in America:

She's dishonest, though, in calling Rush a misogynist because he opposes a political position advocated by a relatively small number of women. That's like calling someone a meat-hater who doesn't like the corporate philosophy of Burger Queen.

Also, if we all start promoting replacements for the foolish advertisers who are dropping Rush, that seems fair. I have been telling people to look at

In order to be a misogynist don’t you have to be a man? I guess that eliminates most liberals.
