Im not agreeing with Bill mahers language, but it is not comparable to what Limbaugh
did to Mrs fluke.
Bill maher attacks other bomb throwers like Sarah palin and Michelle Bachmann
both whom say rude things about people if you throw bombs expect to get them thrown back at you
Sandra Fluke was a college student testifying about one of her freinds lost her ovaries
to ovarian cancer because of lack of access to contraception,and Limbaugh totally represented her position and made it about sex then continued to insult her.

So.............just to be clear, it isn't the language that Rush used, it's the occupation of the recipient?
So, if Rush had called Pelosi a **** and Prostitute for bringing this dog and pony show together you would be fine with it?
I'm just so confused because if calling a woman a **** is wrong, (which I believe it is) then I thought that calling a woman the c-word would be wrong as well. But apparently it isn't wrong since these women are "bomb throwers" as you put it. Would you mind naming the far left female bomb throwers that Maher has referred to as c-words and the like? Because the cynic in me thinks that you're being disingenuous and are applying a hypocritical double standard by giving Neo Progs a free pass. I'm sure that I am wrong though. Thanks
I'm sorry my post wasn't clear, it's late, my apologies. I'm personally asking you if you found what Rush called her to be wrong and offensive? Thanks
I'm sorry, didn't I make myself clear when I said that maligning and slandering someones reputation is wrong?
Rush can call Obama a magic negro, he can call him a thug, he can even call him the n word. What he can't do is say that that he is having an extramarital affairs in the White House. That's slander. See the difference. Rush didn't present his criticism of Fluke as an opinion, he presented it as fact.

I could not care less about the legal ramifications, I never mentioned them, you did. I'm merely asking you if you found his words to be offensive.

Words in themselves mean nothing to me.
The intent is what gets to me. Limbaugh's intent was to malign her reputation by spreading false rumors.
