Westboro releases ‘You Might Be a Slut’ ad for Limbaugh’s show

The Westboro Baptist Church on Friday released two advertisements that they hope to air on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, which is experiencing an exodus of advertisers after he called a Georgetown University law student a “slut” because she spoke in favor of religious institutions providing contraception coverage.

The first spot was a parody of comedian Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck” routine.

“If you wear a dress that is strapless with a brassiere that isn’t, you might be a slut,” an announcer says. “If you are an anchor bimbo for Fox News and your name is Kelly or Julie, you might be a slut.”

I know it's money, and Rush is Rush, but is it possible that he'd shy away from ads from these people? I know people who swear by Limbaugh but are disgusted by Westboro. So, will this alienate his listeners?

getting publicity. Why do we keep reporting on Phelps and his incestuous band of morons? Why does every press release from them end up on DU? We can starve them by not giving them any attention. I suggest we do just that.

“If you are an anchor bimbo for Fox News and your name is Kelly or Julie, you might be a slut.”

One of the first things I've ever agreed with them on. (more about whoring out themselves and their journalism training out for a propaganda machine than anything physical)

But it seems like they are supporting Rush in his "slut" comment. And FOX News is in general agreement with the Big Fat Idiot aren't they? Doesn't make sense.
