Rush today, continues his attack on Ms. Fluke....

From Think Progress via twitter...

Limbaugh continuing hateful attack on Sandra Fluke today, says she only attended Georgetown to "force them to abandon religious beliefs."


Rush again cites article saying Fluke "was having so much sexual activity she couldn't afford it." Says he shouldn't have "focused on it."

2. Limbaugh is a punk. I think he has bought his share of karma.

In my view suspension is not enough.

He keeps it up, he loses more advertisers. He backs down, he loses his audience. They already were going nuts over his non-apology. In any case, hahahahahaha. He deserves much worse.

I suppose he figures if he is suspended, he'll "go down fighting" so it appears that he didn't give up or give in on his (fake) principles. He has no other strategy left given how far he went out on the limb.

If he actually backs down and really apologizes, he destroys his "credibility" with his core audience.

If he doesn't, well... we're seeing it.

You can be on the pill and NOT BE HAVING ANY SEX AT ALL. It's a preventative pill, it's not like his Viagra where you take one every time you want to have sex.


JEBBUS this guy make me want to hit something.

Rush on the 9 advertisers who dropped him: "They've decided they don't want you or your business anymore."

17. Remember the movie "Major League"

Dennis Haysbert (power hitter) sets off a firecracker in his locker and intones "Have to wake up bat".

That's how I feel about this Limbaugh thing. I've read his baloney (refuse to listen to him) for years, and I've wished unsuccessfully that he'd implode. But this time he's offended so many (sleeping/disinterested/clueless) people that he can't brush this under the rug.

Yay for the bailing advertisers (who never should have sponsored him to begin with - but whatever...). I've written the FCC. Next stop - Congress Critters.
