Rush Limbaugh rips Obama 'hypocrisy' on Sandra Fluke

Rush Limbaugh rips Obama 'hypocrisy' on Sandra Fluke

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/Vox-News/2012/0307/Rush-Limbaugh-rips-Obama-hypocrisy-on-Sandra-Fluke

Rush Limbaugh ripped into President Obama on Tuesday for Mr. Obama’s comments about the Sandra Fluke “slut” controversy. He called Obama a hypocrite for criticizing his harsh words about Ms. Fluke, saying the president gives a free pass to similar language from liberals.

Mr. Limbaugh mentioned in particular an incident from Labor Day 2011 when, prior to an Obama address to a rally in Detroit, Teamsters President James Hoffa said of the tea party, “Let’s take these sons of bitches out.”

Obama only chuckled at that incident, said Limbaugh.

“It just goes to show the rules don’t apply to Democrats.... The double standard is alive and well,” said Limbaugh on his show, according to a transcript posted on his website.

Isn't stupidity being so incredibly moronic as to not realize that "Teabaggers" is a name that the fucking TEABAGGERS gave themselves?



I'll save you some head scratching. Yes, that is the very definition of stupidity.

who virtually has a monopoly on AM radio stations in large swaths of the country where FM reception is non-existent. Give me the name of a liberal national bully who is on AFN.

I'm waiting, but I'll be waiting a long time. Limbaugh, you're taking up space on America's limited broadcast spectrum which is regulated and owned by the American public, and LICENSED to you -- you privileged, entitled bully.

Now it's time to try the old 'two wrongs make a right' theory of passing the buck.

Has he always been this boring and predictable?
