STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Staten Island's female elected officials from both sides of the aisle are demanding that conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh "apologize to all women" for calling a Georgetown University Law student a "slut" on his program.

Limbaugh caused a national firestorm when he used the word after Sandra Fluke testified before Congress about the need for contraceptive coverage.

"What does it say about the college coed ... who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex?" Limbaugh said on Wednesday. "It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex."

He went on to suggest that Ms. Fluke distribute sex tapes of herself.

"If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it," he said. "We want you post the videos online so we can all watch."

The remarks brought swift, bi-partisan condemnation in Washington, with President Barack Obama, who called Ms. Fluke personally, and GOP House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), slamming Limbaugh.

The Island's elected women -- state Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn), Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-East Shore/Brooklyn) and City Councilwoman Debi Rose (D-North Shore) -- called Limbaugh's remarks "disgusting" and said they were made all the worse because March is Women's History Month.

"It does not matter if your hero is Eleanor Roosevelt or Margaret Thatcher," said Ms. Savino, "this is about treating women with dignity and respect. If Mr. Limbaugh cannot find it in his conscience to apologize, his fans and advertisers should demand that he does."

I think this kind of thread ought to banned on FR. I’ve seen more of this crap than I want to see anymore.

So what

[biggredd1]

david letterman called sarah palin a slut, bill maher called sarah a slut, jerry brown called someone a whore...

[VRWC For Truth]

Free contraception ... the new turd from the left.

[chris37]

A slut is as a slut does.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Sandra Fluke calls herself a slut on her own Facebook page so what is the big deal about Rush saying it?

[Cheerio]

Where were these self righteous lefties when their very own hero Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a C$%T? Didn't here a peep out of them.

I am with Levin - the Obama run media and all the lefties in politics can go straight to hell with their double standard, hypocrisy, and far left bias on every one of the leftie airwaves and print media. The culture war has heated up to about the boiling point under the "GREAT UNIFIER IN CHEIF"

[doc1019]

Every time politicians take on Rush, they end up on the short end of the stick. When will they ever learn?

[Jack Hydrazine]

When will she be at the next SlutWalk protest?

[Argus]

If Ms Savino has any proof that Eleanor Roosevelt or Margaret Thatcher were in need of $3,000 worth of free contraceptives at any point in their lives, and demanded same, she can produce it. Until then, they have exactly zero in common with the Fluke chick.

[Shadowstrike]

Rush just told the truth, as 100% of the women in my family said.

[dragonblustar]

Rush hit a nerve with the sluts.

Rush Limbaugh in hot water with sponsors after 'slut' remark

http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/02/10562744-rush-limbaugh-in-hot-water-with-sponsors-after-slut-remark

Those companies are letting themselves by blackmailed by the liberal reaction and the media frenzy regarding the remarks from Rush.

So, they're pulling their advertising from Rush's programs.

But, those advertisers also have products they need to sell in order to stay in business or make a profit.

So, why not have all Rush supporters, and as many republicans/conservatives, boycott those companies' products. They want to hurt Limbaugh, let's hurt them.

[Jack Hydrazine]

David Letterman said that Sarah Palin is a slut in his top 10.

[Thorliveshere]

Rush needs not to get himself trapped in this. The left is purposely making the issue about sex (again), when it is about Obamacare and its demands on Churches to provide healthcare to its employees. A Constitutional issue.

And we should not get into this trap ourselves. I don’t care about Fluke and her promiscuity, I care about what started the debate, the act of unconstitutionality.

[Politics4US]

What about all the names Sarah Palin was called?

[EyeGuy]

Because it is a vitally important role in their service to their constituents on Staten Island, to spout their ignorant opinions concerning an arrogantly promiscuous sh!t disturber in DC.

First two days of the week:

Amid sky-high and rising fuel prices Obama’s Energy Secretary admits the administration is working towards even higher gas prices, Obama apologizes to Islamics while our soldiers are being murdered by Islamic terrorist infiltrators in Afghanistan, and Santorum ties Romney in delegate count in Romney’s home state of Michigan, while Romney claims his popular vote plurality there constitutes a “win”.

Last three days of the week:

Rush insults all women, calls women that use contraceptives sluts, calls women who need reproductice medical care prostitutes.
