A Statement from Kim Komando Regarding Rush Limbaugh
Kim Komando website via email notification ^ | 3/4/2012 | Kim Komando

Posted on 03/07/2012 3:28:21 AM PST by DJ Frisat

On Thursday, March 1, I began receiving a series of complaints from both listeners to The Kim Komando Show and non-listeners, concerning on-air comments made by Rush Limbaugh about Georgetown University Law Student Sandra Fluke and Ms. Fluke's comments.

In this instance, everyone is clearly within his or her Constitutional rights.

It's all part of the First Amendment, but sometimes free speech isn't pretty, in good taste or well chosen.

With all this said, I know that some of the comments directed at me have come from long-time listeners to my program. I appreciate them all.

But many others are not my listeners. Rather, they are individuals who are motivated by commentators, bloggers and others with a particular political agenda. It is therefore clear that there is an on-going attempt to use me and my program as leverage to bring further pressure upon Rush Limbaugh.

I also do not believe that, as a woman, I should be particularly offended at Mr. Limbaugh's comments. If you perceive a situation as tasteless or offensive, your gender, beliefs or other demographics do not intensify your opinion or obligation to comment.

One of the most reasoned and reasonable responses to this controversy that I've seen, from the Digital Goddess, herself...

Kim Komando gets it.

Thank you Freeper police for pointing this out. Since I didn’t notice it last week, I’m glad I got the chance to enjoy this article today, which obviously has spoiled your meal by being re-posted.

Should I post it again? Someone might miss it this time as well.

And maybe it's just a good reason to post her rather appealing picture -



(Obviously much more secure in her "womanness" than Slutdra Fluke.)

Fluke’s true intent was to cement guaranteed 4.0 grades for the remainder of her time at school without even having to ATTEND class – much like Chelsea Klinton. She did that – few conservatives (she thinks) will DARE to criticize her now – after all, Barry HUSSEIN himself called her.

“Maybe someone missed it last week.”

I did. Perhaps we should re-post stuff like this, rather than having 20 posts about Romney winning Ohio.

I missed it last week, but I didn’t miss the front page article in the local paper by some women’s group attempting to get the local radio station to ban his program.

Irony is alive and well. Imagine, a woman’s group exercising its first amendment rights of freedom of speech through a newspaper, itself a graphic example of the same right, all the while attempting to strip Mr Limbaugh of his equal right.

The station refused, but not before categorically stating for the record that we live in a democracy where the majority ruled.

“Obviously much more secure in her “womanness” than Slutdra Fluke.”

Decades ago, in one of my high school classes, the teacher asked who was pro-choice and pro-life. It was amazing, every decent-looking babe was pro-life, and vice-versa. It was so obvious that I made a comment about it to guy next to me and got in trouble for it.

I'm glad this was posted since I didn't see it either.

However, I think we missed a good opportunity to discuss the topic. Instead, we have a dozen posts discussing the value of posting the story again.

IMO - more annoying than a re-post of a story.

This woman looks nothing like any of the IT people where I used to work.

We spent the last thread arguing about negative comments by people who didn’t read her comments. What goes around, comes around.

I missed it last week, too. It is one of the best thoughts on it that I’ve seen from a “personality”.

I didn’t see it, despite the fact that FR is my ‘home page’ on most of my computers and I scan and read articles several times throughout the day.

Since this was emailed to me overnight from Komando.com, I thought it was just-now published.

At any rate, it deserves a reprise, because, apparently, a lot of people missed it and it is one response that should get a lot of ‘airplay’.
