Limbaugh comments overshadow GOP contest (http://news.yahoo.com/limbaugh-comments-overshadow-gop-contest-220205487.html)

By KASIE HUNT and STEVE PEOPLES | Associated Press – 28 mins ago

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Intensifying debate over conservative social values — and Republican icon Rush Limbaugh — overshadowed the nation's economic concerns Sunday as the Republican presidential campaign hurtled toward Super Tuesday contests that could re-shape the nomination battle and shift the direction of the Grand Old Party.

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum distanced themselves from Limbaugh, who boasts a huge conservative following and recently apologized for calling a Georgetown University law student a "slut" and a "prostitute" on his nationally syndicated radio program. The woman testified at a congressional hearing in favor of an Obama administration mandate that employee health plans include free contraceptive coverage. While religious institutions are exempt, their affiliates, such as hospitals and universities, were at first included in the requirement. Under harsh criticism from conservatives, President Barack Obama later said the affiliates could opt out, but insurers must pay for the coverage.

The GOP framed the issue as one of religious liberty. But Obama's chief political strategist suggested the Limbaugh's reaction — and Republicans slow repudiation of his comments — would benefit Democrats in the general election this fall.

"I think what Rush Limbaugh said about that young woman was not only vile and degrading to her, but to women across the country," David Axelrod said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday morning.

While the contraception debate raged on national television, Newt Gingrich predicted a strong performance Tuesday would resurrect his fading candidacy. Romney and Santorum spent Sunday racing across Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Ohio, four of the ten states to host elections on Super Tuesday, the biggest single voting day of the 2012 cycle.

Romney picked up endorsements from two influential Republican lawmakers: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, widely regarded as one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate.

Campaigning in Alaska, Ron Paul conceded he's a long shot.

In Oklahoma City on Sunday, Santorum was greeted by protesters who shouted slogans like "Get your hate out of my state." As Santorum supporters chanted "We pick Rick," the candidate himself was barely audible.

Earlier, he dodged the Limbaugh controversy. "That's not my business," he said when asked Sunday about Limbaugh's apology.

Romney has avoided the issue in recent days as well, saying only that Limbaugh's comments about the college student were "not the language I would have used, but I'm focusing on the issues that I think are significant in the country today, and that's why I'm here talking about jobs in Ohio."Gingrich told CNN's "State of the Union" that he's glad the conservative commentator issued the apology on Saturday and that it's time to move beyond the controversy. He said it's "silly" to suggest that Limbaugh speaks for the GOP.

Republican observers suggest that any continued focus on social issues could hurt the party.

GOP strategist Phil Musser said the contraception debate "has been distracting and has sucked up too much political oxygen."

Limbaugh attacked an article that Obama quoted in the Harvard Business Review. It just made him look bad.

Well, if you're ****ing so much the contraception you have to buy to keep up with your habits puts a financial strain on you, and you aren't a slut, then what are you?

And another beef I have with this whole issue is why isn't the man buying condoms anymore? Back in my single days if I would go on a date where I had a reasonable chance of getting laid, I always made sure I had condoms before meeting her. Is that not what goes on anymore?

[Rohirrim]

Isn't Limbaugh the guy who was caught at the airport, coming back from Dominica with a bag full of Oxycontin and Viagra? Ha!

Thanks for proving the right's stupidity.could it be...gasp...that she likes to have sex alot with...gasp...the same person?by your definition she is a slut?you dipshets are losing women votes faster than oxycotin boy downs muffins.

Mr. Boehner comes out and says, Rush's language was inappropriate. Using a salad fork for your entree, that's inappropriate. Not this stuff. I mean, and Rick Santorum says well, what he says was absurd, but an entertainer is allowed to be absurd. No. It is the responsibility of conservatives to police the right in its excesses, just as the liberals unfailingly fail to police the excesses in their own side. And it was depressing, because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. They want to bomb Iran, but they're afraid of Rush Limbaugh. -- George Willhttp://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/george-will-mocks-depressing-gop-response-to-rush?ref=fpb

Boy, isn't that the truth. They say Limbaugh isn't the voice of their party and yet he was the keynote speaker at their last shindig. And now they're coming out with that old, "Well, I don't know who Rush Limbaugh is..." defense.

Rush Limbaugh on air: Apology was ‘heartfelt’

Limbaugh also expressed regret for stooping down to the level of Democrats in discussing the issue of contraception coverage.

“In fighting them on this issue last week, I became like them. Against my own instincts, against my own knowledge, against everything I know to be right and wrong, I descended to their level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke. That was my error. I became like them,” he said.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/73619.html

So there you go liberals, are you happy now you got a heartfelt apology ....ROFL! now reach around and pull the panities out of your ass and carry on making mountains out of molehills.

[DenverBrit]

Limbaugh's probably still popping pills. But I bet he's backed away from :

"[T]oo many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

The drug-related criminal charges against Limbaugh were dropped by prosecutors when Limbaugh agreed to pay $30,000 to defray the cost of the investigation and complete an 18-month therapy regimen with his physician. Hilarious!

[Rohirrim]

Are we being fair to Rush?

Don't be stupid, inform yourself on what she was actually talking about, geeeezus!

[DomCasual]

Don't be stupid, inform yourself on what she was actually talking about, geeeezus!

Can someone help me out here? A college girl would be on the pill, right? So, why would all this come up in the first place? Have they broken out different pills now? Is there an "I only have occasional sex" pill; and an "Holy crap, I'm like a rabbit" pill? Why would lots of sex cost a girl more than a little sex?

It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode, where they discontinue the sponge.

A 30-year-old poses as a 23-year-old, chooses a Catholic University to attend at $65,000 per year and can not afford ALL the birth control pills she needs… so she wants the US taxpayers to pay for her rampant sexual activity am I missing something?

Her "rampant sexual activity"? :)

[Fedaykin]

Wow, even after having it explained to you, some of you jokers still don't understand how oral contraceptives work.

Whether a person has sex once a year or 100 times a day, it doesn't change the amount of oral contraceptive that is required.

[W*GS]

George Will actually got it right.

The GOP is deathly afraid of Rush.

****ing pathetic.

The truth (http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-sandra-fluke-limbaughs-apology-doesnt-change-anything-20120305,0,4455709.story)

....The 30-year-old Georgetown law student ....

...Fluke said Limbaugh also had incorrectly portrayed her testimony. Fluke said she advocated for a woman's right to contraceptives as a part of health insurance coverage. She did not argue that the government should pay for contraceptives, but said employers and universities that offer health insurance plans should ensure such coverage is included in those plans...

Yes, everything as usual.
Birth control pills have many medical uses beside birth control. Don't any of you guys on the Right have girl friends or wives so they can explain this issue to you?

[mhgaffney]

Never fear, Rush will talk himself to death, at some point.

That is, IF he doesn't OD, first.

Is Fluke even an employee of GTU?

This what she said

My name is Sandra Fluke, and I’m a third year student at Georgetown Law, a Jesuit school. I’m also a past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice or LSRJ. I’d like to acknowledge my fellow LSRJ members and allies and all of the student activists with us and thank them for being here today.

"Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy.

What type of contraception would cost almost 100 a month and why as a taxpayer should I have to pay for this?

Ok, I'll play.

Why does the taxpayer pay for Georgetown Law Report's health coverage?

[DenverBrit]

How much do those cost without insurance?

[Pony Boy]

Ok, I'll play.

Why does the taxpayer pay for Georgetown Law Report's health coverage?

I have no problem with health coverage but she's the one who said ""Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school".

I don't feel the words contraception and health coverage are interchangeable and that's where the rub is and I don't think we will ever agree on this.

Her statement is factual, it can cost $250 a month without insurance.

But what has that got to do your claim:

why as a taxpayer should I have to pay for this?

If your argument against coverage is one of 'morality,' then you're right, we won't agree.
Religious dogma shouldn't be a part of the discussion.

80 percent of Limbaugh’s listeners identified themselves as "conservative," compared to 35 percent of the total U.S. population. About three-quarters of his listeners are NRA supporters, compared to 40 percent of all Americans. The same proportion identify themselves as Tea Partiers and Christian Conservatives. Why do they listen to Limbaugh? In one survey, 37 percent said they tune in for opinion, but another 28 percent say they enjoy the blend of news, opinion, and entertainment. Among Republicans, 13 percent say they tune in to Limbaugh "regularly." There’s one more interesting number to keep in mind, and after the events of [last] week, it will hardly come as a surprise: According to a 2009 survey, only 28 percent of Limbaugh’s audience is female—a smaller proportion than any other news source included in the questionnaire.http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-study/101319/who-earth-listens-rush-limbaugh-anyway

whatever, don't kid yourself homey, she's not taking the pill to regulate her period. I love it that peeps are justifying this by saying it's not for contraception.

I don't know of any women who are celibate and take the pill. All of the gals that I have known who have taken the pill are married or in a relationship or are just flat out promiscuous

How many nuns are on the pill again?

Again, double standards by the lefty libtards.

Again, this is just another way for BO to divide the people. He calls this gal up, oh-so-sorry for her little feelings being all hurt by da big-bad Limbaugh, yet he doesn't say crap about the blatant mysogynous hatred the left has for conservative women.

I don't know why people continue to equate Limbaugh and Maher. Rush was the keynote speaker at the last CPAC convention. That is all the heavy weights of the GOP coming together, calling their troops to action, laying out the battle plan against Obama, and they gave Rush numerous standing ovations. When is the last time Bill Maher did anything similar at any Dem function?

Answer: Never.

Among TV and radio talkers and entertainers, there is none who commands anything like the deference that Limbaugh commands from Republicans: not Rachel Maddow, not Jon Stewart, not Michael Moore, not Keith Olbermann at his zenith. Democratic politicians may wish for favorable comment from their talkers, but they are not terrified of negative comment from them in the way that Republican politicians live in fear of a negative word from Limbaugh.http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/05/opinion/frum-rush-limbaugh-fairness/index.html


[W]hen his excesses aren’t front-and-center and thus impossible to deny, too many conservatives — including not just finger-in-the-wind politicians, but some of the country’s most sagacious conservative intellectuals — are weirdly reluctant to acknowledge that there are any valid critiques of him at all.http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/05/conservatisms-limbaugh-problem/

Why not throw Viagra into the mix on health care coverage if a man's dick is not functioning properly and he can't get an erection, isn't that a medical problem? What if he is unable to unable to fertilize his wife without the aid of viagra, shouldn't his insurance cover the cost. If you cover the cost of birth control so a woman can enjoy the pleasure of sex then why not viagra for a man?

Interesting how the Right has twisted this to the point where they now think that Ms. Fluke is the perpetrator and Rush is the victim. It's a bizarre mindset to witness in action.

[UltimateHoboW/Shotgun]

http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/06/conservative-groups-slam-abcs-gcb-as-sex-filled-attack-on-christians/


The new ABC series “GCB” was marred by controversy from the start. The series was originally titled “Good Christian Bitches,” then watered down to “Good Christian Belles,” and then totally sanitized to “GCB.”

Now the show, which is characterized as “Desperate Housewives” goes to Texas, is being ridiculed by Christian and conservative groups as “a sex-filled attack on Christians, conservatives and Texans.”

Based on the novel “Good Christian Bitches,” the series revolves around Amanda, a former Dallasite who moves back home with her children after her husband dies in a car crash (while engaging in oral sex, mind you) and finds that her former Bible quoting, big-haired, wealthy friends are less than welcoming.

Dan Gainor of the Culture and Media Institute told RadarOnline that the show is filled to the brim with offensive stereotypes: “Trying to find one bad point to discuss in the foul and hateful ‘GCB’ is like trying to find one individual liberal in Hollywood. You can’t. There are too many,” he said.

One plot line in particular that features a closeted gay man married to a beautiful, Botoxed housewife is especially offensive, Gainor said.

“The gay plotline is just one more way that the ‘writers’ who scripted this garbage can attack those they hate — and that seems like a long list,” he said. “Next time they should try less bile and something better than a ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ level script.”

James Hirsen, a Christian commentator, wrote on Newsmax that “the show is mottled with characters that are shallow, vain, and hypocritical while claiming to be true believers,” he wrote. “When one of the show’s moms questions the propriety of a certain cheerleading outfit, Chenoweth’s character informs her that ‘cleavage helps your cross hang straight.’”

The unofficial boycott of businesses that sponsor Rush Limbaugh's daily 3 hour misogynist, cynical, intolerant, rant is clearly working! Today's show had less than half the number of advertisers it had just 48 hours ago.

Maher donated a million bucks to obamas Super PAC all the while spewing hate.

Maher doesn't sway anybody. Jon Stewart sways people. Rush sways people. Maher is a devil's advocate....literally. :)

PERSONAL responsibility. Which means HER responsibility. Not the school or the govt.

So how do I take PERSONAL responsibility for corporate welfare? Social Security? Unemployment?

I am not retired. I have a job. I don't get executive subsidies or perks? The whole personal responsibility is null and void in the context of the larger argument.

There is hypocrisy on both sides of this issue because there is a lack of clarity.

35 Hateful And Stupid Rush Limbaugh Quotes That Should Anger Everyone (http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/03/08/35-hateful-and-stupid-rush-limbaugh-quotes/)

Here are 35 sexist, racist, hateful, and stupid quotes uttered by the merchant of hate and de facto leader of the GOP himself, Rush Limbaugh.

I think Rush has the PERSONAL right to say whatever he wants. The "free market" supported his assault on PC communication (which I personally abhor) and now the free market has changed their minds.

Rush is nostalgia and we would not be less for not having him. I would not be surprised if some of his friends in the RNC blame him for some of the RNC failings and he's being served.

Rush Limbaugh embodies conservative values. He hates women, the environment, immigrants, minorities, the poor, homosexuals, and anyone who dares to stand up to him. Republicans have been listening to Rush Limbaugh for far too long. So long, in fact, that they have been swindled by a draft dodging, pill popping, college drop out who has been married four times, into doing everything he tells them to do. If a Republican even so much as dares to cross him, Limbaugh takes them to the woodshed until they backtrack. He takes to the airwaves every day and spreads vicious lies, hate, and misinformation to create new followers. His propaganda has damaged America’s soul and is tearing it apart day after day. If Rush has his way, there won’t be an America left for anyone, and that’s why he must be yanked off the air. So that hateful, sexist, racist, and stupid remarks such as these disappear from the American landscape. Limbaugh tries to hide the seriousness of his remarks by calling it comedy, but Rush isn’t a comedian. He’s a punchline.

Radio-Info.com reported on Friday that 98 advertisers have told Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates Rush Limbaugh's radio show, that they want to avoid advertising on Limbaugh's show and other programs with content "deemed to be offensive or controversial":

The list includes carmakers (Ford, GM, Toyota), insurance companies (Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm) and restaurants (McDonald's, Subway).
The advertisers were reportedly included in a Premiere memo circulated to radio station traffic managers and obtained by Radio-Info.com, laying out the growing reach of the advertiser exodus, which has now ensnared other controversial radio hosts:

They've specifically asked that you schedule their commercials in dayparts or programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity). Those are defined as environments likely to stir negative sentiment from a very small percentage of the listening public.
Advertisers have dropped their ads from Limbaugh's show in the wake of his misogynistic attacks on Sandra Fluke. The online feed at WABC, Limbaugh's flagship station, has increasingly turned to free public service announcements during Limbaugh's show. http://mediamatters.org/blog/201203100003

Rush Limbaugh can't seem to escape the media firestorm following his Sandra Fluke controversy, which I believe is now in its 12th day and doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon.

I wonder if this is going to be his downfall, his schtick might have run out.

Rush Limbaugh (https://www.facebook.com/RushLimbaugh) actually had the audacity to blame President Barack Obama (https://www.facebook.com/barackobama) for the sexist comments Limbaugh made. And Limbaugh's proof that he's not sexist is that he's judged the Miss America Organization (https://www.facebook.com/MissAmericaOrganization) Pageant. Please, try not to laugh at the stupidity.

Rush Limbaugh is an ass. I doubt many people would argue that premise. Rush Limbaugh has been an ass for at least as long as there's been a public figure named 'Rush Limbaugh.'
