Rush Limbaugh Protest Planned at Lincoln Radio Station
Nebraska Watchdog ^ | 3/7/2012 | Deena Winter

Posted on 03/07/2012 9:14:15 PM PST by stan_sipple

A protest is planned Thursday in front of a Lincoln radio station to call for the removal of talk radio host Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. The conservative talk show host is losing advertisers and being targeted after calling a law school student a “slut” and “prostitute” for advocating for insurance coverage of contraceptives. “Occupy Rush Limbaugh on International Women’s Day” is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday at KLIN, 4343 O St. The protest is being sponsored by Occupy Lincoln, which has a tent camp on the mall in front of the state capitol in Lincoln. Susan Watson, who is active with Occupy Lincoln, said the general assembly endorsed the protest of what she called Limbaugh’s “horrific” comments a week ago. She thinks KLIN should take him off the air. “He might be cancelled before we even get there,” Watson said in an interview. “It’s truly offensive, what he said. It’s offensive that someone would continue to carry a person who carries hate speech. He’s picked a fight with all women.” KLIN Program Director John Bishop said Limbaugh will stay on the air, however. “He apologized for the comments, which were rude and wrong. My philosophy is that the free market has always made programming decisions. Rush is our best, most consistent performing show since I’ve been here. When the free market says he is no longer desired, then we will look to replace him. Is there a line that can be crossed? Yes. But I don’t believe it was crossed here especially considering others who have done as bad or worse with no consequences. If he had not apologized, it would have made the decision more difficult, but I am a free speech, free market guy and that market will have its say. It always does.”

This keeps getting repeated and it's just plain false (it may have begun with an AP story). He called her a slut because she said contraceptives are bankrupting her. He called her a prostitute because she wants others to make payments so she can continue having sex.

“he picked a fight with all women.”

This is the second time today that a woman has said that she speaks for _all_ women, or implied it. The other one was Heather Mallick talking about Paul Gomille. Extremely irritating & annoying.

No, Rush Limbaugh did NOT pick any fight with me. And who started all this, anyway? One can’t really even say that Ms. Fluke started it; it was the folks who decided to be overly harsh on the Catholics, to begin with. They started it. Rush didn’t pick a fight, he just fought back against the tyranny and absurdity.

The very same way the leftist bastards distorted assaults on Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Conscience into “Republicans Hate Women.” They get away with it all the time and nobody calls them to account. Drives us all nuts.

“I think he played for the Winnipeg Jets”

Heh, jets were involved, but not that kind. :-)

Slater was that cranky flight attendant a couple years back who announced to the passengers on a Jet Blue flight that he was quitting over an incident with one of them and then activated the emergency slide to exit the plane just outside the terminal.

“picked a fight with all women...”

Gee, the women in my family don’t think so.

They all agreed with Rush. Sandra Fluke IS a Slut.

Slut, slut, slutty slut slut!

Mr. Ed Theme:

A slut is a slut of course of course

But no one can call one a slut of course

That is of course unless the slut

Is the famous Sandra Fluke

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Go right to the source and ask the slut

If you have to pay her to sit on her but

And she will say, of course you must

Cause she's the famous Sandra Fluke

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Limbaugh yakity yaks away and loses Carbonite

Letting us know what the sluts won't give up

Because they think it's their Civil Right

At least it's not “It's a Small World”.
From what I've read tonight on FR, FReepers hate that song.

LOL

I'll tweak the words tomorrow after I give it some more thought.

Thanks for the review. I hope you can get some sleep now...

Any advertising is good advertising and this will be great advertising...in Lincoln. Lincoln is less than “fly over country”.

Rush is our best, most consistent performing show since I’ve been here.

What more needs to be said. In the era of Satellite Radio, Broadband Access, and Podcasts, radio stations need to hang on to every listener. Rush has generally helped the radio business - broadband access is by fee for 24/7 and he hasn't gone satellite.

Ditching Rush will hurt them much more than Rush, and they all know it.

I sure hope that there is a mammoth counter protest.

At this rally someone ought to ask the hosers why they don’t just turn off their radios or change the dial?

BFD. They could have responded;”Will protesting/removing Rush make you better off than you were 4 years ago?”
