”So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it.

Listen to Limbaugh's rants -- unburdened by the demands of politically correct language -- and the truth emerges. Women are sluts and prostitutes. They hate their own biology.

I appreciated that very much.”
..."He did express his concern for me and wanted to make sure that I was okay, which, I am. I’m okay.”
~ Sandra Fluke, target of Rush Limbaugh, talking about a phone call with Obama in an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC

~ Rush Limbaugh today, quoted on ABC News Politics
“I rise this morning to say to Rush Limbaugh, shame on you. Shame on you for being the hatemonger that you are. Shame on you for being misogynistic.
