Rush: The Movie

This is a transcript of the video someone pieced together of Limbaugh’s diatribe, linked below.  For those trying to float the argument in defense of Lush by bemoaning misogynist libs in the media and demanding they “own up,” I offer the following observation, but first let me state categorically that misogyny in the media in any form, regardless of who said what, where, when and why, is unacceptable.  As for why some is tolerated as “free speech”  and some is not, to explain why the response to Lush’s incident is “different” from the others cited in the article below, I think it can be chalked up to a question of degree.  THERE IS A LIMIT to what the public will tolerate, and Lush is WAY over the top. 

Before getting started on this list of 53 instances of separate, deeply offensive personal insults delivered over a 3-day misogynist rant, I think it’s worth remembering that Sandra Fluke NEVER said anything remotely resembling any of this garbage, which means that on top of misogynist insults, every time he opened his mouth, he was lying too.  Lush never once mentioned the 32-year-old friend who had to lose and ovary, face drastically reduced chances of ever conceiving a child and will be dealing with early menopause symptoms and multiple deteriorating health conditions associated with waning hormone production for the rest of her life.

While reading this, try to imagine these things were being said about you, your mom, your sister, your daughter or your best friend. 

Disclaimer:  The transcriptionist is not responsible for the repetitions.  Lush owns those all by himself, since he’s the one who said the same thing over and over and over again, just in case we missed the point the first dozen or so times.  I’d be doing him a great disservice to edit all that stuff out.  It would tend to diminish the utter glee he took in repeatedly dragging her name through the dirt, and the monumental efforts he was making to decimate her reputation, assassinate her moral character, bury her message, embarrass and humiliate her personally, bully her into submission and tacitly dismiss her.  Therefore, what we have here is VERBATIM, to the best of my ability.
