NOW Calls for Clear Channel to Pull the Plug on Limbaugh

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.

But Bill Maher’s “dumb bleep” attacks on Sarah Palin are just fine and dandy....

LOL, 27 Senators tried that before and sent a scathing letter to his boss and Rush auctioned the original letter off for millions of dollar$$ that he then donated to some good cause. The RAT Senators were left totally pale faced and embarased by touching the amendment of free speech!!!

Good Lord, just wetting my finger for the moment, I don’t see this Fluke woman impressing the hell outta anyone. My goodness she’s 30 years old, she’s a law student, and she is having so much sex she can’t afford her contraceptives?

And she testifies that her friend could not afford the pills so her ONLY choice was to go without contraceptives.

All this hysteria is hyped up and seriously folks, we are just not that dumb out here in la la land where we carry this country on our backs.

No way is this gonna hurt Rush. And I don’t think they want to.

They just want to make his very amusing comment, and TRUE comment, part of the national hysteria.

Time for Boehner and McConnell to go on Meet the Press and ask why the NOW group waited so long to condemn Maher and ask if Obamer will return Maher’s money since he called Palin a nasty name.

I spect we’ll see them on Meet the Press and all the Sunday shows.

Surely?

Precisely. The disgusting fluke sow is the perfect poster girl for the far left’s crotch-crazed lunatics. I hope that Obama has her over to the White House for tea (or whatever). But, he better bring his own condoms — because we know she can’t afford to keep enough in stock.

Rush is doing the only thing he can do now that the left has sunk so utterly; he is calling a spade a spade. We do not do this as long as there is value in dipolmacy, but beyond reason...well...

It’s a sign that we are at the point of the rock and the hard place.

The following is liberal logic on the Rush Limbaugh controversy. This was taken off Facebook. The name has not been changed to protect the moonbat.

Michelle the liberal:

And there’s a huge difference between disagreeing, presenting views and ideas, and what Rush Limbaugh does. He is all about stirring up hate. Oh, and sometimes sex IS an unexpected catastrophic act. One in every 4 women is raped at some point in her life.

(Me: I think Rush once quoted a college prof who stated that all sex was rape.)

Michelle the Liberal expands on Rape:

And since women never plan for this violent crime to be done to them, being on the pill all the time just in case, is a very good idea.

Michelle the same liberal takes on the Media:

And guys, the mainstream media isn’t liberal. Hasn’t been in at least 30 years. This is because they have to please their advertisers, many of whom are ultra-conservative. Papers are no longer an objective news source, nor is there any trul...y objective TV reporting going on. Mainstream media hasn’t covered up anything about Obama’s mistakes. It’s all you read about. The media has been harder on him than on any other president. It’s swept his successes under the rug, so much so that people think he’s done nothing.

Me: I’ve showered so I can now finish this post.... Fellow posters with IQs above room temp; it hurts my head reading this woman’s posts on my friend’s FB page. I need ice cream with whipped topping! Yeah, that will help....

Mine too. No one does it like Rush. They are all mad because of what he said. He speaks the truth and stands up for himself. He is one of the last true men around. He is a patriot and loves this country and knows we are being sucked dry but all these nonsensical things. Rush is brilliant and there isn’t ONE of the media out there who would ever dare debate him. He would eat their lunch before they even got out the gate. Go Rush!!!!

And here’s the dirty little secret:

Do you think you will be able to find contraceptives for $9.00 a month after ObamaCare mandates coverage?

...Follow the money. I wonder who’s funding this push?

In order to lend dignity to the Sandra “Slut” Fluke affair, NOW will rename its organization to SLUTS-R-US.

Rush would not want to be an illegal apologizer, ie, jump in line in front of so many others we are waiting, waiting, waiting to hear apologies from. He plays them like a fiddle every time.
