Rush Limbaugh: Beyonce's new song means she 'understands it's worth it to bow down' to men


Rush Limbaugh is giving Beyoncé's new single two thumbs down in the feminism department.
The talk show host, 62, spent part of his show on Wednesday criticizing the pop singer for pulling a "total 180" with her new single "Bow Down/I Been On."

Citing a story in The Telegraph, Limbaugh claimed that, rather than extolling women's independence in her song, Beyoncé is encouraging women to be subservient to their spouses.
"Bow Down," according to Limbaugh, advises women to "put up with it."

2. That's completely unfair! Marital status has nothing to do with women's rights

but an asshole misogynist with nearly a generation of comments bashing females? Yeah, that disqualifies this turd for pretty much the rest of his life.

I only say almost because I don't think anyone is 100% beyond redemption--not even Limbaugh.

You'd think he would have learned the error of his mysoginist ways after the Sandra Fluke fiasco and his employees lost all that precious ad revenue. But nope. He continues to pile it on.

If anything, it's a typical hip-hop song that extols the greatness of the singer.

Beyonce is talking to her female diva competition and telling them to Bow Down to her. She also explicitly says she's no "little wife" in the song, which is done in the Houston (H-Town) hip-hop style of "chopped and screwed." Rush talking about hip-hop is all kinds of wrong.
