NOW president returns fire on Limbaugh

By DYLAN BYERS | 5/9/12 10:12 AM EDT

Terry O'Neill, the president of the progressive National Organization for Women (NOW), is returning fire on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who yesterday called her organization a "faux feminist group" and its members "femi-nazis," and launched an anti-NOW Facebook page called "National Organization for Rush Babes."

"I don't think conservative women want to associate themselves with his hate. I don't think they would want to associate themselves with his bullying," O'Neill told me this morning. "I don't think conservative women would want to associate themselves with his vitriolic attacks."

Limbuagh yesterday described National Organization for Rush Babes as an effort to counter NOW's "Enough Rush" campaign, which encourages advertisers to boycott his program. Limbaugh said NOW was wrong to think it speaks for women: "If there was ever a group that speaks for an almost infinitesimal minority of women, it's them," he said. "Rush Babes for America [is] dedicated to the millions of conservative women who know what they believe in: family, American Values, and not being told by faux feminist groups how to think."

But O'Neill said that conservative women, while they may agree with Limbaugh on matters of policy, would not support his "bullying," citing his recent attacks on Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, who he referred to as a "slut" and a "prostitute."

"I think there are extraordinarily few people who agree with what he said about Sandra Fluke," she said. "I don't think women want to watch Sandra Fluke having sex in a video tape for the sexual gratification of men."

>>I don’t think conservative women want to associate themselves with his hate<<

As usual, libs comment on Rush while never having listened to even a minute of his show. One thing Rush does NOT have is “hate.” The worst you’ll get is (appropriate) disdain.

And for the bullying now nags to accuse Rush of bullying is the ultimate in irony (and projection).

True.

She "feels", which is why she's a liberal. Because if she thought...anything at all...she might wonder why liberals don't mind being associated with Bill Maher's hate, Barack Obama's bullying or Debbie Mayonnaise-Hair Schultz's vitriolic attacks. And she might not like the answer.

Whatever plausible integrity NOW had, is long, long gone.

The fact that they were absolutely silent during the Clinton rape/Lewinsky scandal blew whatever credibility they had, completely and irrevocably away.

Any woman with the time and need to associate with NOW should get a life and shake the garbage out of her head.

"I think there are extraordinarily few people who agree with what he said about Sandra Fluke," she said. "I don't think women want to watch Sandra Fluke having sex in a video tape for the sexual gratification of men."

NOW is intentionally missing the intended humor, but they are right in the narrow wording they chose - no woman (or man) wants to see Fluke ever again, especially not unclothed. They're also right that Limbaugh was totally unfair to question the morals of a woman who spends thousands of dollars a year on birth control. While at the wholesale condom prices a woman that active should be sensible enough to seek, her claim equates to nearly a hundred encounters per day, it's possible that she's financially reckless and spending that much on as few as ten sessions daily. She's a parasite, but if her local WalMart is getting the money, she's not a prostitute.

“Free speech for me and not for thee?” That’s what they’re saying.

She was quoted as saying, “I don’t think...” The trouble is, conservative women do.

“Hate”? Don’t these NAGS have any new words to use? That on is kind of tired out. NAGS HATE Rush, HATE conservatives, HATE Republicans, HATE Americans, HATE marriage, HATE babies, HATE, HATE, HATE. Nothing but HATE.
