That IS that. When even Rush Libaugh surrenders to the PC crowd, we are truly, duly doomed as a nation.
Well, if that's the case, then he was apologizing for his choice of "slut" when he should have used the word "whore".
Now I understand it perfectly.
It’s just like Rush has always said, the left has no sense of humor.
Too many sponsors told him they didn’t like his comments.
I worked for many years in the radio advertising business, before I could no longer take it because of how vulture like it is. That being said I have maintained many friends, some of which are in high places. I think many people here myself included and Rush probably himself overestimated his own staying power.
I talked to some of my friends about it yesterday, and they all told me the same thing, that Rush was in significant trouble as of the afternoon yesterday. Advertisers were contacting Premiere Radio Networks in droves telling them that although highly rated they don’t need the trouble and will pull out of the show if he does not apologize by Monday.
My friends who didn’t think he would apologize thought his show would be cancelled by the end of the month. So although I don’t like it I trust them and their opinion immensely so I’m glad Rush did it, so there would be no problems in keeping him on the air.
The problem was the advertisers. Think Progress has organized an AstroTurf attack on him (on Twitter, etc.), and his advertisers are likely being bombarded with calls (the leftists calling could care less about the products, but that’s besides the point).
We need to get better organized to counter this.
Very statesmanlike, IMHO.
However, I wish he’d gone further and endorsed the idea that government should financially support our individual rights. In my case, this would mean the government would give me the money to buy that Barrett 50 I want in order to truly access my 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Rush had nothing to apologize for! I’m disappointed that he caved to whatever pressure he felt he was getting. This woman chose to go tell the world of her sexual activities with the expectation that WE should pay for it. Frankly, I can think of a lot worse things that this lovely “person” should be called! Where the he77 was the outrage over letterman (lower case on purpose) calling Palin a slut, or where was the outrage over lewis ck’s disgusting monolouge ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJlA-bLv1nU The list goes on and on and on and on.... Liberals can kiss my a$$ is Macy’s department store window! Jesus these people make me sick! Saul Alinsky - ROT IN HELL!!!
By the way, Jay Leno knew exactly what he was doing when he had Bristol Palin on his show and put this PIG on the couch next to her. Jay Leno had to know the kind of stuff CK had been saying about Bristol’s mother - yet he had her on the show any way. Shame on Jay Leno!
The nitwits at the FNC (FOX Neocon Channel) mentioned this a second ago and ONLY read the part where Rush apologizes to America’s most famous slut.
*SIGH* FOX. Good for a while......then kerplunk!
The pulling of sponsorships worked . . sorry, but the left beats us at that game. Hypocrites and sluts they are, but they are much better street fighters than us. They have the MSM on their side, they’ve duped enough women, minorities, voters, et al that what we say is prejudiced, while they get a free ride for doing MUCH worse.
That’s the reality of today. Rush gets booted from MNF, the NFL ownership, and now losing sponsors. He said no more than what most people think, but the reality is we have to act on a much higher plane, we have to speak better, act better, in short, continue to demonstrate our superior values in all ways, otherwise we lose the battles and eventually the war.
Don’t blame Rush. Blame the assholes who continue to subscribe, read, view, and advertise in the MSM and vote for liberals because their family did or out of racial guilt or trying to be cool. They are the true idiots which allow the Sandra Flukes to be made national heroes even when any parent would be totally ashamed of her.
I know I certainly would. Yeah, she’s a slut alright. But a flyspeck in the ocean compared to the Slut Media and Slut Voters who will sell their souls for a taxpayer dollar.
Calling a man who rapes a woman a “rapist” is name calling and personally insulting. As well as calling someone who kills someone else in cold blood a “murderer” or someone who steals from someone a “thief”.
Spare the insults, lets be PC.
Rapist = Recreational Sex Addict
Murderer = Uncontrolled Rage Syndrome or Immorally Challenged
Thief = A Liberal or Acting Politician
The 30 year old activist isn’t a slut- she’s just a whore.
The apologias on this thread are both embarrassing and indicative.
No matter how ‘activist’ these guys appear to be, once their advertisers begin dropping them, they fold.
$$$ talks.
The left is winning! :(
Reminds me of Anthony Weiner’s apology.
So Obama can give the finger to people, Jerry Brown can call Meg Whitman a whore, and Bill Maher can call Sarah Palin a twat, and Tracy Morgan can say he masturbates to her, AND NO ONE APOLOGIZES.
Bunch of crap.
word choice - it is possible she is a slutty prostitute, but I digress
In the lamestream media, the story is not the absurdity of Fluke's bogus victim status or the entitlement mentality for which she has just become the poster girl. It's that Rush called a young girl (though older than we were first led to believe) a nasty name to a national audience. That's all the casual observer of news is going to take away from this. It also enabled her to go on TV again and play up her victimhood to the world. Therefore, he has become the bad guy, and it makes our side look like a bunch of judgmental Pharisees.
We have to be smarter than that if we are going to win on this issue of religious freedom. And we have to win this one.
