The only people trying to pretend he was serious, are you puffed-up faux-outraged leftist twisters and spinners who don't dare acknowledge what you know he meant.


They fall for it every day.




(Hint: Rush doesn't care what you say about
him as long as you keep talking about him.)

Face it...you just hate the fact that it was a woman that was pilloried. If it was a conservative white male taking the heat, you'd be in a euphoric high paralleled only by the high you felt when hippies were spitting on Viet Nam vets.

False outrage wrapped in a birth control bubble foil pack. That's all this is.

60's Feminist outrage doesn't impress me.

My significant other was "a gasp" when she heard Limbaughs comments about "If you are given free birth control, you should film the sex and post it online to pay us back". And she doesn't even get involved in politics.

He is a stupid blowhard prescription drug addict.

The man said that women should film their sexual encounters and post them online for crying out loud.

Hell even Republicans should be offended by that.

Geez. Some people are so gullible.
she is the one that complained about the cost of the pill, and i posted a link that indicates the pill can be bought for $50 a month, far less than the $3000 per year she is claiming.

besides i have also said that if the pill is being used to treat an illness, then it should be covered by the insurance. if the pill is going to be used just for birth control, the she can buy the pills herself.

Or Limbaugh.

There is no excuse for the things that fat piece of crap said about that young woman. And apparently sponsors are thinking the same thing because so far as I've heard today, at least two have jumped ship.

I don't know if she has any legal recourse, but if she does, I hope she sues his fat ass all the way from here to kingdom come. I'm willing to bet Gloria Allred is positively wringing her hands over this (I have heard that a number of attorneys actually want to get involved).

I hope that young woman's parents are proud of her for having the courage to speak the way she did and I hope she is getting lots of support from family and friends in the wake of that vile a-hole's comments.

No.

No more than anybody is too much upset over the dead lukewarm body of Andrew Breitbart and all the nasty spew coming from the left about him.

Who cares right?

Rush Limbaugh always has said things for shock factor. It's what he DOES.... Has Rush had sex with her? I doubt it. But Oh.. OH-Baaa-mah comes to her rescue to help out with an apology.

They should call him President Opalogist.

Obama calls Sandra Fluke to offer support over Limbaugh comments

Yes, President Opalogist... we get it, "you're sorry".

since she made herself a public figure, she has no recourse.
