Political Update: Rush Limbaugh's Lame Apology

Mar 03, 2012 23:33

Rush Limbaugh has posted what he calls an "apology" on his website for his vile, callous, and uncivilized remarks about Sandra Fluke, Georgetown University Law Student who testified to Congress about a friend's problems getting insurance for contraceptives for a hormonal problem.

People say Limbaugh crossed a line, but he crossed that line years ago, and his listeners have become inured to hearing hate talk directed at gays, lesbians, blacks, women, democrats, and the president. That's what disgusts me the most, the irreparable harm he's done to American politics over the years ( ... )

Exactly, exactly - this is what misogyny looks like.

It's clear that Ditto-Heads, whether they call themselves Republicans or Independents or Libertarians, want corporations to have human rights, but not women. I totally get it now.

But the main thing Rush forgot is that many men also like women, and want their mothers/daughters/wives/sisters to have the same freedoms they have. These Voldemort-like misogynists do not understand most men anymore than they understand women ( ... )

Limbaugh has always been foul, and it's always been disturbing that anyone would give him five minutes of air time and attention--but this has been stunning in the depths he's reached.

This debacle has been helpful, though, in exposing the Republican platform. It's puzzling that the GOP has so lost contact with anything remotely resembling politics and economics--and anything rational....The party seems consumed with the idea of disciplining women: anyone who speaks for the Republicans comes across as a sexually frustated old man looking to find some way of wreaking revenge on young women for being beyond their reach or abilities.

Limbaugh's limp, flaccid apology only underscores it: he certainly couldn't manage to be as passionate and forceful about his allegedly regret as he was enthusiastic about his sexual fantasies about Fluke, including his wish to watch her in a sex tape.

He's pervert, period. And the poster boy for misogyny.

Limp & flaccid are the operative words here for Viagra Boy. I note that it's fine for his pills to be paid for by the gummint, but not women's birth control pills ( ... )

Santorum's just gone off again, about Female Single Parent Families Ruining Everything--somehow, unspecified, the government has to stop female-headed, single parent families....Them wimmin needs menfolks. Santorum failed to explain how the government (ie, he) would supply the XYs.

Hello, Republicans? Hello? *knock, knock* Is this on?

Alternative energy? Rebuilding infrastructure? Controlling outsourcing? International relations? National security?

Any of those ring a bell? No? Okay--let's get back to beating up on women by denying them rights; apparently that's the winning strategy and the most important issue in the campaign.

I've been out of town all day, so I've missed Santorum's latest woman-hating rant. Unbelievable! He is clearly out of the loop with Rush's problems and loss of advertisers or he would realize this strategy is made of FAIL. Someone needs to explain it to him in terms a small boy can understand because Super Tuesday is looming ( ... )
