He didn't ever bother to listen to what she was talking about. She wasn't advocating BC for sex but for medical reasons. He is a pig and nothing more

Sorry pigs he's one of you even though you don't deserve it

I think he equated viagra with BC pills. And because HE has to use viagra every time he has sex he thinks women have to use a BC pill every time they have sex.

He is also one of those people who equates apologizing with 'losing'. I am really hoping he keeps going further with this one, at some point the FCC will have to step in.

This is the thing that bugs me about the Repubs. they listen to what a Dem says and then just picks out the specific things they can dump on.

The main part of her testimony was about a friend who had cystitis and couldn't get the pills because they cost so much. But Rush just focused on the birth control/sex link because it would be distasteful to the conservatives.

Two examples:
They took a talk from Pres. Obama and cut off the beginning where he stated that McCain made a statement and made it sound like it was the president who was saying it.

Last week Fox propaganda showed a soldier chewing out Bloton for's something and Bloton's reply. The audience actually booed Bolton's reply but Fox edited in clapping from another part of the program.

This lying really pisses me off. They really need to be fined or be made to present true information or be taken off the air. then you wonder why people are so confused about our political system!

The Catholic bishops, Santorum, assorted "personhood" laws and ballot measures around the country, attacking Planned Parenthood, vaginal probes, etc.

This was the latest thing with which to bash Obama, and since she came forward in the pushback against the all-male contraception panel he went to town on her in the nastiest, most personal ways to drive people away from here and whatever she was associated with -- basically an ACORNing on her.

He probably expected a lot of noise from the usual quarters, but didn't anticipate how much the other things have exposed the radicalism and motivated people to push back. So instead of statements from NOW or Media Matters and other thing's he'd just blow off, he has to both double down for his regular audience and make motions such as "apologizing" to not wreck his own gravy train.

By trying to paint Health Care Reform as an attack on religion, they painted themselves as anti-women. It could not have worked out any worse for them. The more it failed, the more they ratcheted up the stupidity... and continue to do so.

As happens anytime they try a gambit, the True Believers in their rank and file will not let it go.

so the boys had at least a clue in, what women are addressing today. hubby knew about this, but it was basically limbaugh calling her a slut and prostitute. hearing all the other things he said, then seeing both stewart and colbert last night, took it another step for hubby.

She opened her show with a very nice segment about Cal Thomas, who had said insulting things about her. Thomas knew he'd crossed the line, and issued a genuine apology, and went on to take Maddow out to lunch, where he was very pleasant to her. She couldn't say enough nice things about his sincerity, and how easy it is to forgive someone who is genuinely contrite.

Then she contrasted that with Limbaugh, who not only re-stated his lies IN his apology, but spent the Monday program explaining that he's not really sorry at all.

The timing couldn't have been better, as Cal Thomas had taken her to lunch just hours earlier.

while cooking tonight. thanks

...a few days ago after reading about his comments. If you were to get your information about this incident solely from the newspapers, you would think that he called her a "slut" and later apologized. You might wonder what's the big deal, given that he apologized, and that worse things are said every day? But if you actually listen to some of the stuff he actually said, he came right out and said "she's having so much sex, she can't afford her birth control pills and she wants us to pay for them!" and stuff like that. In my opinion it goes straight into serious defamation of character, because he kept piling on with this narrative for days. It was truly vile and disgusting and once again, our media is asleep at the wheel. Well, not asleep, actually -- they are protecting one of their own, against a private citizen who has been treated in the most reprehensible way.

when Rush said "she has them lined up around the block".


And I honestly thought I knew what was going on. Just goes to show how wrong you can be.

honestly - anyone who advertizes on his show looks as slimy as he is.

telling his *billions* of listeners that it was obvious their business desicion is based on LW feelings and collaboration rather than actual desire for customers. In his arrogance he still doesn't really 'get it'. He doesn't understand that he crossed a line of decency and I'm very, very glad Fluke did not accept his partial apology. For all the stuff he didn't apologize for, they were still disgusting.
