Oh, please what a piece of crap article.
Total and absolute BS, coming from someone who claims they like Limbaugh - suuuurrreee (eye roll)
What a jerk! Where is his attack on Bill Maher? What an absolute jerk! He is completely discredited with his selective stance!
disagree with the article. Rush did enough. The dems brought in a ringer.
Dear Jeff,
You may now remove your right foot from your mouth and just as gleefully begin chewing on the left.
Sincerely,
Mesta
BALONEY
Schulz was making an attack on Laura for no reason other than her poltical statement. It was direct and personal and out of the blue.
Rush was using sarcasm in the theater of the absurd to make a rebuttal of logic against abusrd logic .. the language he used was vulgar, for which he has apologized 3 times.
NO GROVELING REQUIRED
BESIDES, THIS IS NOT ABOUT OFFENDING SANDRA FLUCK
it is contrived DNC outrage for the purpose of attacking Rush Limbaugh for his conservative political views and influence.. There is NO APOLOGY statement that would entice the democrats to drop this. NONE.
Yes, Rush did a bit one here, but so what?
The garbage left just keeps piling on to Conservative women, all day long. Every 4-letter name in the book. And what happens? Nothing basically. Maybe Rush too, is fed up with the filthy double standard, supported by the so-called MSM, and gutter slime like Bill Marr who would do well to find another country to live in.
In a way, it is nice to see the insane and anti-American left get a little thrown back at it in the same perspective that they hand it out almost on a daily basis. Time to fight fire with fire if we are to win in November.

Looks like Jeff will have to go sit in the corner today.
Who are YOU to speak for Rush's fans? You are a presumptuous fool!
I find it hard to imagine that this will hurt Rush's huge $$$ business significantly but the libs are plotting on MSNBC to try to make Republicans running for election own Rush, to drive away women voters to Dems.
The election is still 6 months away so it remains to be seen if Dems can somehow make this become an issue to women voters in 6 months. It looks like Republicans in congress are dropping the whole issue, something they are famous for,
Shultz was calling Ingram a slut as in, “you’re a slut”.
Limbaugh was calling Fluke a “slut” as in, “you’ve just described the lifestyle of a slut”.
Big difference. In Rush’s case, it was actually related to the topic being discussed. And anyone that is not married and needs $3,000 in contraceptives in three years could reasonably be called a slut.
Rush apologized for using the word. He didn’t apologize for the message. Shultz had to apologize period, because ALL he was doing was calling a person who he disagreed with a bad name.
Apples and oranges.
Sullen?
Did this guy even listen to what Rush said?
Dear Georgetown women.....why not make the price of admission to the promised land 1 condom?
Problem solved.
“...the liberal radio host Ed Schultz, who in the heat of an on-air moment referred to Laura Ingraham as a “right-wing slut”
Bad as THIS is... it is hardly the worst thing I have heard or read coming from Liberals.
It’s about some time for some fair evaluation, here.
Sandra Fluck is on the map because of Rush Limbaugh.....She should give him 1o% for the rest of her life
I believe that our founding fathers would call Mr. Jacoby a “tory”.
Go away jeff.
“The author of “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big, Fat Idiot” is now a US senator from Minnesota.”
And THAT dear friends, is a blotch on Minnesota; not on Rush. Is Minnesota THAT bereft of honorable, competent intelligence that they were left with only a profane “comedian” to vote for. THAT turdbrain isn’t even funny!
Jacoby acknowledged having "made a mistake" in not including a disclaimer that the material in the column had been recycled, but called the critical reaction of the Globe ombudsman, Jack Thomas, "disgraceful and nonsensical." He told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that he had received an offer from another media outlet. The suspension came two years after the forced resignations of Boston Globe columnists Mike Barnicle and Patricia Smith, who were caught fabricating stories and quotes.
Rush apologized for using the word. He didnt apologize for the message. Shultz had to apologize period, because ALL he was doing was calling a person who he disagreed with a bad name.
Apples and oranges.
I more or less agree with the article. You seem to have missed the fact that Fluke never claimed she was having all that sex. She said she "knew women who were paying $3,000 for birth control". Rush's first mistake was in referring to Fluke as the one "having all that sex".
His second mistake was in being so tasteless. He basically descended to locker-room style humor that was inappropriate. "Red" Ed Schultz' apology referred to the vile manner of his own words.
Rush's third mistake is that he basically handed this entire issue to the left. Their machine went into gear, and every cog played its part. Now a story that should be about what a fraud Fluke is, and people being forced to do something against their religious scruples (and therefore unconstitutional) has become "the right's war against women and contraception". This was an epic fail on Rush's part.
