NOW Calls for Clear Channel to Pull the Plug on Limbaugh Statement of NOW President Terry O'Neill
March 2, 2012
Bigoted bully Rush Limbaugh has been rewarded for his hostile, hate-filled speech for far too long. The National Organization for Women calls on Clear Channel Communications to pull the plug on Limbaugh's gilded microphone immediately. In addition, we call on Limbaugh's conservative comrades in the media to fully denounce, with no excuses, his derogatory comments.
Limbaugh's targeting of Sandra Fluke was way out of line, even for him. Limbaugh is free to disagree all he wants with Fluke -- a Georgetown Law student who testified before a congressional committee in support of health care coverage for birth control -- but calling her a 'slut' and a 'prostitute' on air is unacceptable. After sparking outrage, Limbaugh took to the airwaves again yesterday to suggest that if Fluke wants contraception to be fully covered, she should post videos of herself having sex online so Limbaugh and others can watch.
Clearly, Limbaugh is not just having fun here. He is trying to shame a young woman for coming forward, speaking her mind and standing up for women's rights. This is how bullies try to chase all women from the public square.
Isn't the GOP embarrassed by this man by now? Remember, Limbaugh is not some fringe right-winger -- he has been identified time and time again as a lead strategist in the Republican party, not to mention a king-maker and an enforcer. The fact that this man has so much power in one of the two dominant political parties in the United States is shameful.

He’s the issue NOW.
Women in committed relationships share the cost of contraceptives.
Women that sleep around, can’t. And what are women who sleep around with different men generally considered to be?
You folks really don’t have a clue do you.
How did women until this moment in our nation, afford contraceptives before this? I’ll bet that causes a brain-freeze.
Especially a golden microphone
HA! Needed a good laugh today. Those silly NAGs.
Besides SlutFluke made herself a target by putting herself in the public spotlight. If you don’t want criticism, don’t make yourself a target. Fair game.
HA! They’re crying she’s just a little girl. Must be so empowering.
Shouldn’t they be called NOS?
Is this the same NOW that said nary a word about the rapist in Chief Bill Clintoon? Let’s take a look back in history.....

NOW has just helped Rush’s ratings go through the roof.
And has given Rush material for the next year!
Nah, no noticeable arm pit braids.
Admirable try though... :^)
no rush will have a background sound of boing, boing, boing, boing sounds during NOW updates.
(for those in rio linda, boing as in bouncig from mattress to to matreess)
BTW do Fluke updates need a (Boing Boing Alert)?
Entertaining is an understatement. Where was NOW when the women Clinton abused spoke up?
Rush is my man.
Sometimes I wish I was a guy. My gender is usually an embarrassment.
I was just thinking the exact same thing.
I said to my husband, “I think I might be a misogynist!”
Go get the movie....... The Iron Lady
It’ll make you feel good
Well, when it comes to the unborn, NOW certainly knows a lot about pulling the plug.
Re: These people are insane.
This proves to me that Savage was right. Liberalism is a mental disorder
who testified before a congressional committee
It was my understanding that she didn’t testify
before the congressional committee but only
a mock gathering.
bwhahahah, liars.
NOW doesn’t rep women much like Democrats do not rep Americans. They rep the enemies by playing the victim card and the stupid buy into it. The stupid are the best friend of the leftist. The French used this method, the power of the stupid, to great extent during their Revolution. It’s like that skit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
“And sooo, if she weighs the same as a duck, then she’s made of wood. And therefore...”
“A WITCH!”
Just complete illogic. C = A = Z. Like my brother says: “The leftist is like a zombie walking into walls with no purpose or direction and it only need be nudged to go where one wants”
Some one should pull the plug on NOW. Those Feminazis are revolting and she STFU.
