I don't think it's anyone's intent to get into a liberal vs. conservative political battle on this forum.
Although I can't speak for the OP I would think that the intent of the post was that you should not call a women "****" or "*****" on a nationally syndicated program; even if it is satire.

She deserved to be mocked since she misrepresented herself and offered no coherent argument other than "I want someone else to pay for my contraception". This was a manufactured controversy and Rush stepped in it, crossed the line and has since apologized. I thought once someone apologized everything is supposed to be ok? Guess that is only only when liberals do something wrong. Also, I modified your quote below to highlight the hypocrisy in all of this:
Also, I bet none of you have listened to nor read the entire transcript that started this mess. I agree it was over the line, but satire often is.
Now 20 sponsors have ceased advertising on the Limbaugh show. Let this be a warning to any Republicans or right-wingers who fail to respect women and women's rights!
Hilarious. Thanks for the link. I can't wait for the righties to start crowing at the new advertisers Rush picks up -- porn sites, pawn shops, sleazy work-from-home schemes. LOL. They will see this as a good sign and not as evidence of Rush's further decline. He's always been a bottom feeder.
Summary of funding
The Act's provisions are intended to be funded by a variety of taxes and offsets. Major sources of new revenue include a much-broadened Medicare tax on incomes over $200,000 and $250,000, for individual and joint filers respectively, an annual fee on insurance providers, and a 40% tax on "Cadillac" insurance policies. There are also taxes on pharmaceuticals, high-cost diagnostic equipment, and a 10% federal sales tax on indoor tanning services. Offsets are from intended cost savings such as improved fairness in the Medicare Advantage program relative to traditional Medicare.[33] [end quote]
So increasing taxes on those that already pay taxes is how it's to be funded.
Sponsoring a show where millions of potential customers are called sluts and prostitutes isn`t a good business move.We`re seeing the rational response of the free market not a liberal plot and I suspect that soon Rush won`t have any sponsors other than gold and gun dealers.
Half of which get their money back in returns. Those evil "rich people" pay more in terms of actual dollars. You know, REAL money. Not some silly percentage crap.
That is a non comprehensive insurance policy all around. But it is also pretty cheap. BC is low on the list of things that should be covered in a medical insurance policy but this one is pretty bare bones anyway. This is cheap insurance though compared to most policies so you get what you pay for.
Say that when you or someone you love needs hormonal therapy for any one of a number of gynecological conditions...you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll feel that "b.c." needs to be higher on the list.
