I can not wait for the contraceptive smack down some idiots are due for. How American politics ever got this scary I'll never know, but we need to clean up our act and fast.
I doubt any more are coming on board any time soon. To do so is to open their business for criticism from customers and shareholders, highly unlikely in this climate. Limbaugh is toxic.
I think it has been clearly shown that if Limbaugh is 'toxic' because of his remarks, then obama is a hypocrite for taking a $1 Million donation from Bill Maher.
The people of the United States aren't QUITE so stupid to not understand when a double standard is being applied.
You liberal idiots make me sick with your partisan BS. So obvious and manipulative. You reek of dishonesty.

As disgusting and vile as he can be (and those on the left have criticized him many times for going too far and insulting to others), let me know when Maher has a nationally syndicated radio show and the left circles their wagons around him like the right has done for Rush. Then a double standard can be talked about.
You can get birth control for FREE from planned parenthood. There was even a program that gave it to women for a $1 a month
So? These women at Georgetown are paying for an insurance coverage they are required to purchase. Why shouldn't that insurance cover contraceptives?
I don't understand what is so hard to understand about the fact that these women only want the insurance coverage they are already paying for to also provide contraceptive coverage.
Besides, not everywhere has a local Planned Parenthood clinic.
And, if Mittens gets in the White House, he's going to get rid of PP altogether anyway. This is what he said:
Quote:
"Of course you get rid of Obamacare, that's the easy one, but there are others," he said. "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that."
So, even those women who have access to a PP clinic may not be able to count on it in the future.
Most of the articles I read quote radio insiders as saying that Rush will survive this and the advertisers will come back after the controvery dies down. If they were sleazy enough to advertise on Rush before, why not be sleazy enough to advertise there again?
Many were on the show as part of a package of advertising on a station, a group of stations or regional network, they didn't pick the show. It is mostly those folks that are asking to be pulled from the show.
Here, your ads go on shows on the News/Talk station (est 400000 listeners), the todays hits station (800000) and the Doug station (750000)
On the News/Talk station the bulk of the listeners are during morning/evening drive times. Both of those have hosts who are more conversational then confronting.
40%. The 50% figure comes from only one poll that oversamples Democrats
Do you bother to look things up before you talk? ONE poll has Obama at 41%. The rest average out to about 50%. A good source to check all the current major polls in a neat little list is realclearpolitics.com. It's linked to about once a day on this board, and I linked to it already on this thread.
Might be a good time to invest in big pharma and insurance companies. Think of all the money they are going to make. Hope big pharma can keep up with the supply because it looks like there is a big demand. And insurance, oh boy,,,definitely some money to be made there! Buy stocks now in makers of birth control and insurance companies!
No kidding, all it takes is for a president to pick something he/she really, really, really likes, and make it a law that all insurance companies must give it away for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No, it hasn't not been shown. It is a false equivalency, as Maher has never had any sponsors at all. He is on HBO, and HBO does not advertise for any entity other than HBO.
This has been brought up everywhere, and it's been beaten to death. The reason Maher is on HBO is because he is controversial and cusses- so do many of the comedians who perform on HBO, and the movies they produce also have cussing in them. As a matter of policy, HBO does not endorse anyone's views who is on their channel, nor do they censor any product they show. Maher's comments are all his own.
Limbaugh, on the other hand, is a free over-the-air broadcast, and his show charges advertisers for ads. What he says reflects on his advertisers.
Any citizen with a pottymouth can contribute as much money as they want to a super-pac; there are no restrictions any of the super-pacs make as to clean living and speech for someone who wants to give them money.
Advertisers, on the other hand, have always been cautious when sponsoring any show that is political. Businessmen want to sell their products, and they can pull their contracts at any time they want. That's the free market and capitalism at work.
No double standard here.
Never was one. If you are subscribing to HBO and don't like Maher, you are free to drop HBO any old time you want. I did, years ago. You are perfectly free to boycott HBO if you wish, but don't come on with this BS... it's a dog that don't hunt.
