Rush and 41

Posted: Mar 8, 2012

Glad the exodus continues, but when I saw the number it reminded me that we were warned here by someone that a media matters scandal was coming anyday . . . seems like that warning was at least 41 days ago. The silence is deafening. Media Matters such a powerful force for truth, happy to be on the same side. tick tick tick

There appears to be another side to the story.

Read all sides. Get all the facts (from more than just 1 or 2 media outlets).

Oh yea... - you must be kiddin.

that's another side alright. Too funny! Thanks for sharing Rush's "unbiased" spin.

The sponsors are begging to come back? - ROFLMAO.

Do you not recognize a pathological liar when one comes up and practically knocks you up side the head with statements that absolutely defy logic? Get a grip.

ROFLMAO - Maybe you hit your head - rolling all over the floor

Rush has gotten so many sponsors over this, they cannot get through all the requests. So much for the lib boycott that was to crush him like a bug....backfired big time ;)

Oh please. I could care less whether he comes or goes. - In fact

I hope he sticks around at least until November. Speaking of backfires, no one has done more to help the Obama camp than Rush. As far as the boycott is concerned, Rome wasn't built in a day and, as one poster pointed out a few days ago, patience is our strong suit. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I think the chip, chip, chipping away one-sponsor at a time approach can be even more effective than his immediate ouster. That way, the story keeps rearing its ugly head every week or two, reminding us all of the the onoing GOP efforts to screw women. Regardless of which side this coin lands on, he has managed to galvanize a brand new women's movement, so the political damage is already a done deal.

How about all of these? - Took me 3 min to find em.

with advancing women’s reproductive rights issues and the part he played in Sandra Fluke’s securing a plum speaker’s spot during Obama’s stump stop in Denver. I recall how Michael Bennet D-CO won his purple-state senate seat in a tight 2010 contest against GOP challenger Ken Buck. It was the women’s vote that put him over the top in that race, since Buck was one of those vocal opponents to abortion rights for rape and incest victims, a stance that may ha ...

"If you listened to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, you got a better appreciation of Obama’s core than by reading the president’s friends and sophisticated interpreters, for whom he was either a moderate or a puzzle yet to be fully worked out. "Rush, et al., doubted that Obama could have emerged from the left-wing milieu of Hyde Park, become in short order the most liberal U.S. senator, run to Hillary Clinton’s left in the 2008 primaries and yet have been a misunderstoo ...

Mr. Limbaugh should be very pleased with himself. He is an original and chooses to use his own words and not parrot anyone else. I've noticed on this board that a lot of the left wing radicals opt to use his words and phrases, such as drive bys or drive thrus, hit and runs, etc., etc. I wish I could remember them all. It is really giving me a chuckle. Thank you, libs, for the kicks and giggles. I'm sure Rush is pleased to know you are listening. :-) ...

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” an ...

Sarah Palin called out Rahm Emanuel because 6 months ago he used the word "retarded" to describe some people (democrats, by the way). He was wrong to use that dated term. When that made the news recently, he apologized and rightfully so. He publicly apologized to Tim Shriver, head of the Special Olympics, and a number of disability groups. Good. He shouldn't have used that language and he most definitely should have apologized. But what about Rush? He used the term repeatedly in talking ab ...

The Hobby Lobby case will come down to how Kennedy feels on the day the vote is taken. No more, no less.

There are 16 forms of BC left, in addition to holding an aspirin between your knees. He didn't say that last part, I did. ...

to his knees. (probably needs help getting up.) I seem to remember him saying he would never apologize. The apology was inadequate though and I hope he continues to be hounded. He apologized for inappropriate wording and said it was not personal. He said things about this woman for 3 days -- including asking for sex tapes, saying her parents should be ashamed of her and saying she could barely walk due to over-sexing, and he apologizes for 2 words. Hopefu ...

Taken from a segment on Countdown on Wednesday. Laurence O'Donnell speaking about MSNBC and Keith Olbermann's involvment in the free health clinics that are being set up all over the country. The comparison between Keith Olbermann's personal contribution and Rush Limbaugh's over so generous contribution of a product he didn't even pay for should say it all. I guess the $400 million dollar man can't afford to give something personally . . . . O ...

By David Edwards and Daniel TencerMonday, January 18th, 2010 -- 10:54 am Ann Coulter is jealous of the attention Rush Limbaugh has been getting since making his comment about the Obama administration wanting to exploit the Haitian tragedy to "burnish" his credentials with the black community. So she's making a conscious effort to out-controversy the controversial radio host, and on Fox News on Sunday, she didn't make much effort to keep that a secret. "Stop asking about Rush's ...

I can't believe Rush can't find anything better to complain about than an awareness campaign regarding over 200 kidnapped girls. It was a South African activist who started this campaign (although the misinformed are claiming Michelle Obama started it) and these days, Twitter campaigns have played a leading role in spreading information in a world where people seem to have technology-induced ADD. Not to mention the fact that the President caught flack for sending assistance to Nigeria ...

She was ridiculed for months. Fast forward to Michelle - what a great service she is doing for our country and for the world. Sickening hypocrite Democrats. ...

Here's Kirsten Powers' recent article. I don't always agree with her, but she makes some valid points. OK, I'll admit it, I'm college educated, but I had to look up the word 'misogynist.' It's not a word I would use often. It means 'one who hates women or or characterized by a hated of women.' http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/04/rush-limbaugh-s-apology-liberal-men-need-to-follow-suit.html Rush Limbau ...

Rush on the Hurricane Isaac: Once we publicize that we have sent 500 bags of money -- well, whatever number of bags, bags filled with money to shore up the levees, what will happen? The poor of New Orleans will storm the levees and steal the bags, thereby putting themselves at risk for the eventual flooding that will happen once they remove the bags of money. And that way the Republicans can get rid of even more Democrats in Louisiana and shore up the state for themselves. How about those two i ...

Rush Limbaugh is confused. He just can't understand why the Republican Party has so much trouble with blacks, Hispanics and women. Here's how he put it on his nationally syndicated radio show, channeling the way that a lot of conservatives are feeling after looking at the demographic breakdown of Election 2012: We have achieved, brilliant, highly accomplished African-Americans, blacks, Hispanics, you name it, throughout the Republican Party. They serve in office. Many of them ar ...

If this wer true, don't you think he would be embarrassed to admit that Rush has so much power? (Obviously more than he does). This is hysterical. Rush issued an invitation to sit down with him (since he is so all-powerful) and discuss the country's problems with him.
