This is the reason that rush is full of it! Appparently you must either listen to him without question or you half azz listen to the truth. She went to Congress representing someone else, never did she even said that she even took BC pills

So are you saying its ok to insult women long as they parade themselves out there?

I never said any such thing, what I said is that Palin put her family in the limelight for them to be scrutinized by the media in order to get votes

Also I remember Obama getting upset with a magazine that did a piece on his wife.
Did they pull his sponsors? Was he on the radio? Or did he just get mad?

He has a big enough fan base that he will survivie this tempest in a teapot.

My replies are for the people who can't seem to see the basic difference in the Mahr (another jerk) and Limbaugh broadcast forums. Mahr is on a subscription service, the other is on a regular broadcast forum. There Jadex, is the difference. Ergo, apples and oranges.

Oh, and BTW, I don't read daily Kos, or watch any political talking heads, well, except for Jon Stewart, and he makes me laugh my butt off.
I am not saying you personally do care, But there is a boycott going on now why would the left do that in the name of treatment of women , while ignoring the comments from the left about women?

For me this isnt about if he survives this, Which I am sure he will, This is about the hypocrisy and the gov wanting to demand a religious group do something that goes against their religion

Would you support the gov mandating that muslims have to do something that goes against their belief? I gotta that wouldnt go over well with the left

I also dont care what forum any of them are on. Its about if you are going to say you are for the treatment of women, That should apply to all.

You dont pay attention to Obama? You know the president that says we need to tone things down yet running an ad on a web site that is saying that?

Guess hypocrisy sets better with you then me

Was she forced to go to Congress? NO
Was she forced to go on Ed Schultz show? No
Was she forced to go on the view? No

She is a political activist. She is doing this on her own free will. She picked Georgetown on purpose just for this.

So by your standards the same rules apply

I thought that she picked Georgetown because it was an excellent law school

So by your standards the same rules apply
She still does not have her own media outlet, not to mention that she has been requested to appear on those venues. If rush would have said maybe once and left it alone instead of harping on it for a whole week and than gave a halfazz apology after his sponsors started leaving there would not have been an issue

Bristol Palin didnt have her own media outlet either yet you bring her into this.

Just because she was asked doesnt mean she has to go, If she was so offended that a man called her that why would she go on a mans show that has called another woman that on the air?

I also find it comical that Ed Schultz's apology was sincere to the left but Rushs isnt.

You all are using this HBO as an excuse. Also just because hes on hbo doesnt mean you all still cant call him out, But instead you all tune in and continue to watch him
A lame one at that. He gets a pass because he is a liberal. Just like he got a pass for saying the President Obama needs to act more "gangsta" because he's black. If a conservative had said that they would be ripping him to shreds.

Double standard, the only kind of standard the left has.

Obama blocked Muslims from doing Obamacare, so you have a very valid point.
There is no reason for recreational sex welfare anyway no matter who said what.
