Limbaugh launches 'Rush Babes' campaign

Rush Limbaugh is fighting back against the National Organization for Women, the progressive women's group that has been targeting local advertisers and affiliates in an effort to get the conservative talk show host off the air.

On his program today, Limbaugh announced a new National Organizaion for Rush Babes "dedicated to the millions of conservative women who know what they believe in: family, American Values, and not being told by Faux Feminist Groups how to think."

"Sometime later this month the Femi-Nazis are going to be working with Media Matters for America in kicking off some giant program, some coordinated plan to have me taken off the air, under the premise that women hate this program and that this program is an unfriendly environment for women, that this program laughs at, impugns, makes fun of women," Limbaugh said during today's program. "Of course, the flaw in this is that the National Organization for Women thinking that they speak for women. If there was ever a group that speaks for an almost infinitesimal minority of women, it's them."

NOW announced the launch of the "Enough Rush" campaign on April 19 to protest his attack on Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, with protests planned for at least eight cities, including Washington, D.C., and New York City. Earlier this year, NOW president Terry O'Neill called on Clear Channel to "pull the plug" on Limbaugh's program.

O'Neill was travelling by plane this afternoon and unable to comment, but a spokesperson with NOW said she would provide comment later today. (I will update this post if and when I hear from her).

I'm sure there's some bimbo who'll sign on to watch that pig drop trou as long as they are paid well. That's the conservative way.

During my teens. It was in a dark room at the back of a bookstore located at The Pike in downtown Long Beach (CA). I had to keep putting quarters into the machine for each 60-second excerpt. The floor was covered with newspaper and you didn't want to make eye contact with anyone.

Yeah! Yeah! Rush Babes! Rush Babes! [font size="1"]hubba-hubba!!![font size="2"]

So they're bringing this back?

I think the loss of advertisers is biting his syndicators in the ass and he's trying to do something to prove to them that he's still got it (whatever "it" was and if he ever had "it" in the first place).

Nobody should be outraged about this latest little caper. It isn't worth outrage. What it deserves is ridicule as the desperate act of an insecure fat slob trying to prove to his dumbass listeners that he is still in control.

Revulsion yes, outrage ..meh. Just feeding his ego. I don't fault the models they want to pay their bills just like us. It's not political for them,it's a job.

Now he's on a campaign to show us what an infinitesimal minority of women looks like. I don't know if I could have selected a more knowledgeable specimen from the entirety of humanity to do that. Go for it, you vile human being. We'll check back in a couple of weeks to see how you're doing. My guess: Not well.
