You don't like those naughty words, do you. On that subject, what would you think of someone who said that people will vote for Obama because he is "light skinned" and only speaks in a negro dialect when he wants to. Would that offend you?

Oh joy! Another racist joins us :roll:

NOthing is more disgusting than calling someone a racist when there is no solid evidence supporting such a claim

Lots of things are more disgusting than a questionable charge of racism.

Racism itself for one. Racists who attempt to pretend that there is no racism for another. People taking the lives of innocents for a third.

I have hundreds of others if they are needed to make a rather obvious point.

This board has a few people who scream "racist" in a pathetic effort to silence those they don't agree with.

Its a common tactic among those with weak reasoning skills or those who substitute emotobabbling with logic

and racism is often found in the minds of those who are the first to scream that term at others
 
They are both offensive at times. Obama with his attacks on Republicans and general arrogance, and Rush with his attacks on liberals and his general arrogance.

Attacks on republicans? You mean like when you points out that they basically obstruct any chance of a functioning government at every turn?
 
You cannot pigeon hole the question with bull**** voting options. Not only is Rush more offensive, he is also far more "hackish".

I disagree

Rush has absolutely no impact on anything that matters to me

Obama wants to triple my taxes, put leftwingers on the courts, and drive business out of America

Rush is a pimple, Obama is AIDS

more of your usual talking points which are irrelevant to the post you preceded them with.

Yawn-more irrelevance

If you don't listen to Rush he has no impact on you

Obamaturd's screw ups permeate this nation

That is senseless in the extreme.

When are you going to actually engage in debate?
 
Obviously, the OP.
And its a very disgusting "argument".
No vote of course.
Mr Obama is our President.
Rush is simply a base, low-life entertainer, at the same level as pro-wrestling.
This should be in the basement.
And to the post above..
I see no point in debating with a fool, particularly one so disrespectful of our President..
Turtle Dude ...grow up !

To be more fair, the poll question related to Rush should have been specific, for example, "Rush's comments toward Fluke's testimony" instead of the ambiguous "Rush using a naughty word."

This is not a serious question. Asking if people disagree with a non-specific "bad word" by Rush (which could include a spectrum of degree that can go from mildly offensive to so extremely offensive it's sexist, racist, bigoted, etc) or very clearly outlined acts by Obama.

Examples of "Obama nastiness" are given, and if the purpose is to compare, at least one example (to Obama's 2 should be given) of Rush's nastiness should also be given.

Using current events as the content for comparison would make Rush's comments toward Fluke relevant and appropriate for the poll.

Duh. The poll was never intended to incite logical debate based on unbiased factual reality. It was meant to incite discord and ill-will. Further drive the populous apart in order to unravel the fabric of American unity. subliminally, I think too many people wearing flag pins on their lapels really hate our nation deep down inside.

I am reminded of the Star Wars scene when the Emperor was pleading with Luke Skywalker to come over to the dark side and experience the other "force." Some people feed off of angering other people.

Sometimes, it can be fun so I'm not gonna judge. LOL!

Obama weakens our nation, encourages class warfare, lies about the wealthy and generally is one sorry assed president. Rush is an entertainer. If I don't turn him on he has absolutely no relevance to my life nor costs me any money, liberty or freedom

But Obama is going to raise your taxes so it is all worthwhile. Like you, I have a one track mind.:2razz:
 
Rush Limbaugh has now apologized for his language in describing Ms. Fluke, a college student and puppet used by the DNC in the fight to force religious organizations to buy abortion pills. But I want to know what you think is more offensive.

A. Rush Limbaugh using a naughty word to describe a 30 year old woman who wants to force Christians to buy her birth control so that she can have as much consequence-free sex in between classes as she wants

B. Barack Obama giving churches, hospitals, orphanages, and schools the unconstitutional choice of either covering their employees' abortion and birth control pills (contrary to their religious beliefs) or shutting their doors

or C. Barack Obama forcing employers to cover abortion pills against their religious convictions while simultaneously cutting health benefits for the military

I'm not sure but I think you could make this more biased but it would be tough. Let's be clear what's really going on. First, Rush did more than say a naughty word. He's not a little boy who dropped a book on his foot. He attacked a young woman using language that no man should use at any woman. He also suggested that she post sex tapes to the Internet. He did this solely because he disagreed with her. He has every right to disagree and say she wrong all day long, but his behavior was unacceptable. On a side note, I think he has done a great service to this woman and those that agree with her. His terrible behavior has drawn more attention to this issue than her testimony alone would have. He has also helped make this election about women's rights and that will be a disaster for the republicans, but that's another topic.

Now for the insurance issue. Employers are required to cover birth control, not abortions. Employer provided insurance is a form of salary. An empoloyer is not allowed to determine how you spend your salary. Additionally, birth control is a decision between a woman and her doctor. I certainly don't an employer involved in my medical decisions. Not that this matters really, but people seem to not know or forget that birth control is sometimes perscribed for reasons other than preventing pregnancy. What happens in that instance? Does the woman have to go to her employer and tell them her medical issues so she can get medicine she needs? Even further out on the tangent - should insurance only cover Viagra for married men whose wives are of child bearing age?
 
Look, I don't care for Limbaugh. He is an entertainer and I've never taken him seriously. He was wrong to say what he said. I am just as offended at men call women "bitches" and "whores/hoes". I'd like to see the nation equally upset over street language that denigrates women.

It's not a while thing or a black thing or rich thing or a poor thing. It's insecure men using language in an attempt to oppress women. It's insecure men using oppresses language in attempts to sound cool.

Now thy war on women has become politicized. There is a massive effort by the GOP and its minions to control women, to put them back in the kitchen, to determine how women will control their bodies. It's amazing. I freaking sick of hearing it.

You do...but only to an extent.....internet and all that......I hope I am correct when I say that "your kind" in in a minority.....
"naughty words" ??
Define this term....
And remember that its only your opinion...
IMO, I'd like to see Limbaugh replace on the airwaves by the editor of "Screw"......can't be any worse....
 
Rush limbaugh's fat mouth makes me regret contraceptives were not government provided at the time he was born.

Agree, 100% !...lol
And we have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go....
What bothers me is not so much RL, but all his supporters....I was one once, 20 plus years ago.....

We got it, your conservative and you hate Obama...color me surprised.
 
Whatever Rush is, he is no threat to my freedoms, and the radio does have an off switch.
Obama is a threat to my freedoms, and taxes are not voluntary, therefor Obama is more offensive!
 
So friday, you use equate two different usages of the word offensive. Please write a rational poll.
