This supportive activity by Village Voice is wrong.

What Rush Limbaugh said was wrong.

What the Church did with pedophelia cover-ups within their ranks was wrong.


Now that we have that cleared up, on to the next thing...

They are not in the same category.
This is modern day slavery, and nobody seems to care! At the very least, advertisers should put pressure on these papers, the public should be outraged.
Craig found a way to stop these ads, the others can too.
Better solution is to legalize prostitution, follow Nevada's lead.

I'm beginning to think Progressive should be spelled Hypocrit.
1) No he didn't and the proof is that he relished it and continued on the next day.
2) I never said he couldn't say anything. He can say what he wants. He also has to deal with consequences if there are any and again the VV stuff happened over a year ago. It was in the news then and Rush is (or was) now.
3) Hypocrit(e)? What are you talking about? I never said that what Rush did was wrong. All I said was it was more recent. Try reading before vomiting your nonsense back at me. What the VV did is obviously much more vile than Rush but I could care less what Rush said which BTW was much more than her just being a shill.

You response is actually pretty pathetic and really has nothing to do with what I actually said.

Pretty damn disgusting if you ask me. I don't think Limbaugh was right in calling Sandra Fluke a **** but a bit of name-calling is nowhere near as bad as this. Yet there's never been a ton of media coverage about Backpage and Village Voice's connection to underage sex trafficking.
We are trying to do something about it. Do you want to help?

Tell Village Voice Media to Stop Child Sex Trafficking on Backpage.com

Village Voice Media is an American privately held corporation, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Thanks for bringing this issue to everyone's attention.


Now, would you please supply the link to sign the petition to get Rush Limbaugh off the air for his foul remarks? Thanks.

So very true. But I am sure some here will not let that get in the way of their selective outrage.

This is thoroughly disgusting and should be stopped immediately. Hopefully the attention will create laws to stop child trafficking.

But don't be silly enough to compare the saleability of a story about Rush vs The Village Voice. Stories about Rush sell. News outlets aren't in business for their health.

This is very interesting. This petition very gently asks the Voice to stop sex trafficking ads. While the poster wants to shut down Rush Limbaugh for mere comments. It kind of draws a bright line under what activity the left considers worse.

Is the Village Voice the defacto leader of the the left in America? ........Nooooooooo!

Does every major Dem candidate just crave to go on the "Village Voice" to get their blessing? .....Noooo!
