junior,your half baked rant about sandra fluke is right out of the pages of the neocon playbook.you claim that miss. fluke" is a plant" at georgetown.thats curious,since the the president of georgetown fully supports her speaking up on the matter of womens healthcare issues.for her to be berated by this vitriol spewing low life,limbaugh,is far beyond the pale.
gotta laugh at the right wing loons trying to portray rush as the victim.sponsors,and now, two stations have dropped their association with this classless misogynist.

"Viagara is covered in my health insurance."
Yes, and impotence is an actual, existing medical condition.
Wanting to have sex and have someone else pay for your protection is not.
Should your condom stash get paid for by the insurance companies?

Political shock jock, college drop-out, VietNam avoiding, lying, hypocrite, obese, cigar smoking, unindicted felon, ex(?) drug user one-percenter OxyRush Limbaugh has the temirity to give lectures on morality? (Sorry, to be addicted to prescription drugs in this country means you have comitted a felony - unless you are a one-percenter like OxyRush is.) This guy is a paper tiger, he has no power at all. He makes money by keeping his ratings up by making silly outrageous comments. The joke is on his listeners.
No one is getting paid to have sex, they are getting birth control to not make babies and for other various reasons. This is for college students, unwed women, women who have too many kids, women who have trouble carrying babies, etc. This is blantant sexism. Viagara is covered in my health insurance. So is gastric by-pass surgery, as well as alcohol and drug addiction rehab, as well as surgery or whatever for smokers who have lung cancer. It's too bad so many of our "moral" leaders (i.e. sinners), like OxyRush(??) and the Catholic Church have never read the story about those who cast the first stone.
Mitt Romney and the others, except Ron Paul, had their Sister Souljah moment and failed. There's nothing to be afraid of. Oxyrush has no influence on the outcomes of any elections. He's an empty suit, a paper tager, nothing but a blow-hard.

Actually, what all this shows is that the Left is all to willing to manufacture a fake "crisis" to further their aims.
There is NO effort by Republicans to limit or reduce a womans access to contraceptives.
Sandra Fluke IS NOT an "innocent 23-year-old" student - she is a 30 year old professional woman's rights activist who enrolled at Georgetown SPECIFICALLY to campaign against their health policy - which she had read thoroughly before hand, understood completely, and made her decision to "enroll" based upon the specific exclusion in that policy.
Basically, she is a fraud, and her campaign is as well.

What will be interesting - and very telling - is whether or not this ever gets any coverage in the MSM.
Page 58, anyone?

this time rush has stepped in it with both feet. the more he;s says about the sandra fluke incident.the futher he sinks into the quagmire.
his sponsors ( allstate being the latest one ) are dropping like clay pigeons in a shooting gallery.
rush is a product of his own blatant arrogance.

Rush Limbaugh is not actually ill-informed. He readily admits, when asked, he is "an entertainer." He knows his audience. He knows, full well, what he is saying and why he is saying it. He plays to his audience according to what he knows they love to hear. Hate for particular groups is one of those emotions he likes to invoke from them.
Of course he knew why this woman was going to testify; he is not a principled man, but is certainly a genius. He also finds that "working up" all the "fringe groups" nets him huge amounts of money. Why not go for the jugular if it brings him millions?

After Reagan's 11th commandment that "thou shall now speak ill of another Republican", the unofficial 12th (for Republicans running for office) is "thou shall not cross Rush". The reason is simple. He's on air 15 hours or so per week, and he will pound those who cross him---and pound them in front of the all-important far right "base".
As for the birth control issue, we'd think Rush would know that any EXCESS population explosion in the USA is more likely to produce liberal voters 20 years hence than conservatives. But, hey, who ever cares about the long view?

The real question is who's playing who?

Just one more distraction while the work behind the curtain continues to roll along.

Limbaugh doesn't do what he does just to be "provocative." His agenda is built on pus and bile, ad hominem attacks, race baiting, sexism, anti-worker rights policies, genocidal drum beating and on and on...this obese, drug addled,Foghorn Leghorn's days of hateful, negative opinion manufacturing for the military industrial oligarchy are near the end.
