RushLimbaugh.com Removes Offensive Attacks On Sandra Fluke From Transcript Archives
By Amanda Peterson Beadle on Mar 8, 2012 at 11:33 am
For days, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh personally attacked Georgetown Law student and womens health advocate Sandra Fluke, smearing her at least 70 times. Now, hed like to pretend that some of the things he said never actually happened.
The Atlantic Wire points out that his website has scrubbed a few offensive comments. While the slut comments still show up in other rants by Limbaugh, his site has removed his sex tapes comment from March 1. The pages were clearly working a few days ago several sites linked to them, Elspeth Reeve reports.
The pages dont show up on the February 29 and March 1 archives, either, though links to them still exist on other transcripts related to the controversy. Heres the blank archives page for February 29:

(14,177 posts)Most people I know would feel that they have been assualted in some way if someone demanded a sex tape because they are entitled to it due to the fact that the asker/demander somehow deserves it. Those comments weren't even directed at me and I felt violated. I know weird, but it is as if Rush thinks that if you give someone money you are entitled to invade their privacy. In this case it isn't even real money it is imaginary money because no one was asking for public funding, we/they/she are asking for insurance company policies to be more uniform between secular and religious.

(14,177 posts)There is no reason whatsoever to ask anyone to put out a sex tape, unless you intend to view it for pleasure. Well no other reason for that gasbag.

(27,677 posts)Last week, I wanted to make sure I had my talking points straight so I went to the site and saved the transcripts for Wed-Fri. I had no idea that they would be scrubbed. Sorry, Rush, but once it's on the Internets, it's forever!
On the plus side, he's afraid. Very afraid.

I do believe that is what they call in legal parlance an "admission of guilt", if I may be so bold as to put forth that remark about this here new development.
Yes, and I do declare that pigman has gone too far this here time.
So, all that remains now at this here moment in time is to ask anyone that may be so inclined as to answer the question -- how do y'all call the pigs to the trough to get them fattened up afore the slaughter?
