Rush Limbaugh selection in children’s book competition causes a stir

Right, those quotes don't make him sexist or etc.
They most certainly do make him a sexist and a disgusting POS.
The sickening part is that normal GOPs used to speak back to Rush on that garbage.
Now they won't even answer a question for fear of losing in a TEA-primary .
 
I never said the quotes were fake. I said those quotes were of Limbaugh's humor.
Nobody gets to play cafeteria on when Rush is serious or not.
The righties certainly wouldn't allow that for any leftie commentator .

No, they don't, anymore that telling a blond joke makes someone racist.

I think you folks need to pull the sticks out of your asses and loosen up a bit, learn to laugh, have some fun once in a while, have a beer, relax.
 
I never said the quotes were fake. I said those quotes were of Limbaugh's humor. You are accurately quoting satire and then treating that satire as if it's real. You do this simply because you don't share the sense of humor nor agree with them man's political views.

You're so right about that...and I don't normally dig his humor or political views.

But let me add that I listened to Rush for a number of years after his show went syndicated. And eventually, his humor and views were not so funny, nor were his views based on anything more than some radical, self-concocted bull****. I then stopped listening. IOW, I stopped because I finally was hearing what he was actually saying.
 
Meanwhile, Rush represents the solid base of the GOP who eat up his comments as Gospel.
FOX doesn't show Rush's comments because they are an embarrassment, even to FOX .

You either get the humor, or you don't. You apparently don't, so then don't tune in or buy the book. That you don't share that humor doesn't reflect anything on Limbaugh or his character.

One is not a sexist just because you didn't like the joke. Your perception does not determine their reality.

Happens all the time on MSNBC, for example, and it's not something righties are in a position to "allow" or "disallow".

I got Rush in the early 80's and knew exactly where it was going.
Nobody buys your defense.
Especially the righties all over Rush's web-site every day .
 
Not even the same order of magnitude as Rush.
How would you know since you don't watch MSDNC ?

Fluke is a slut, a media whore and should be ashamed of her life.
 
Right, those quotes don't make him sexist or etc. That's his irreverent humor, not sincerely held beliefs. Half the show is satire like The Daily Show (well ok 90% of the Daily Show is satire while Limbaugh actually discusses real news more).

Within hours conservatives on political forums were calling Fluke a slut. Some people in this thread called her a slut. I don't believe that Rush intended those comments or his other racist or sexist comments to be satire and I have seen plenty of evidence that most of his listeners take him at face value. The intent and result: the next young woman who thinks about speaking up about contraceptive availability has to be willing to handle being called a slut by conservatives nationwide.

Nothing wrong with that. Be an adult and pay your own bills. Stop begging for an allowance like a child.

I wasn't aware I had a 'defense' so w/e :roll:

I certainly do watch MSNBC and they're much worse than Limbaugh because they present themselves and their shows as honest, serious, news reporting.

Limbaugh attempts to use humor and satire to make his points.

I watch MSNBC much more than I listen to Limbaugh.

How about you?

Deceitful response. Fluke was advocating for the opinion that contraception should always be included in health coverage, without an exception for religious institutions. She did not mention her own needs in her testimony, she mentioned the needs of other people that she knew about.
 
Not even close. They are very good books. And despite the bull****, Limbaugh isn't the boogeyman you want him to be.

Actually he's a pedophile.

I was quoted out of context.

What to you expect? The right has been lying about Fluke's words since they came out of her mouth.
