A much more mild form than anything ever heard on cable I might add.

Can we drag Don Imus into this? All hell broke loose when he refered to a college basketball team as 'nappy headed ho's' and found out that people wouldn't accept that kind of language from an old white guy. He wan't trying to be offensive (ok with him it comes naturally), he was trying to talk coollike a brutha. And then MSNBC got all shocked: What? Imus is offensive? We better DO something!

What kind of mouth does anyone think he would have if he were on cable?

Amazing..... if this was Chelsey Clinton there would be outrage at anyone who commented.

Palin paraded her family out there and therefore they caught the attention of the media don't get it twisted!

No its not

And I see the title of the thread, lets pretend now that no thread ever brings in other people or things related to the same issue as the title of the thread

Can you tell me though, Why is the left not calling for the boycott of
David Letterman
Ed Schultz
Montell Williams
Also just because Bill Maher is on hbo does not mean you all have to condone his comments on women by watching his shows

If you all are so upset over women being insulted on national airwaves

Or heck why arent you all calling for Obama to pull ads on Dailykos that states

I Hope President Obama Will Denounce This Site and Pull All His Ads | The Right Sphere

I mean the rhetoric is to extreme and needs to be toned done, right?

Every person running in politics brings out the family photos, but most opposition politics don't make nation wide claims that the last baby of the mother is actually the child of a daughter. Democrats are animals at best on a good day.

Fluke made the choice to parade herself in front of congress.

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

Also I remember Obama getting upset with a magazine that did a piece on his wife.

Basically, I don't care what Limpbutt called anyone. It's his advertisers who are dropping him, just like they dropped Imus, and a few others for going over the line. My prediction is that Rushbo will be just fine. He bounced back from the arrest for trying to buy Oxy with fake prescriptions, didn't he? 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.

Guess, some of you would like to see him hung for "Freedom of Speech"
Only if he continued to attack private people who cannot fight back! My probelm is no matter how wrong that he is the weak knee republicans will not stand up to him and denounce anything that he says

Only the left has the license to publically degrade women. Rush played right into their web of hypocrisy.
