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
 
Rush Limbaugh.
 
Rush Limbaugh.

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?
 
I dont find Rush's words offensive, I find them foolish in that he helped the left change the subject from the fascist power grab that is Obamacare.

As for Obama, he is no more offensive than any other liberal who wants the state to run the economy and trample our liberties.

Yup.

Rush limbaugh's fat mouth makes me regret contraceptives were not government provided at the time he was born.

While I agree that what Rush said was foolish and he should have known the sort of firestorm it would have created, I don't fault him for changing the subject. I fault a media that would rather focus on a minority of angry liberals who already hated Rush instead of focusing on Obama who is telling hospitals and orphanages to cover abortion or shut down, while simultaneously cutting health benefits for the military.

If a church has employees it's not a church but a business. Hospitals, orphanages, and schools are businesses or public services and thus can be regulated as such.

I will believe that religion advocates really advocate the religious convictions of people who don't want to pay for birth control when those advocates also lobby for the decriminalization of marijuana because of Rastafarians and lobby for polyandrous marriage because of fundamentalist Mormons. Besides, a universal health care system would make all these points rather moot.


So Rush is, by far, more offensive.
 
So what did you do when Harry Reid said that?

I thought it was a stupid remark that was offensive, whatever the intention.

His remarks were under a different context, however.

So far, the only thing I can see is you are trying to pin me down to the liberal hypocrite charge.

Do private companies have the right to refuse contraception to their employees? I don't get this country anymore.

Wait a minute, there.

Rush did know the ****storm his comments created. That's why he made them. Because that's what he does - make comments that get him noticed by the media at large to get more listeners. So don't fool yourself.

I think Rush is the media "at large." At least, he's media and he's large.

Here, we'll make it easier for the OP, since it's what he was hoping to get. "Rush is offensive because he's Conservative, and Obama is my Lord and Savior." There. Now have at it.

No one is refusing anyone the right to use contraceptives as they see fit.
 
depending on who's telling the story, Obama is a lotta things. Mostly stupid things like Muslim, socialist, foreigner, amongst a ****load of other stupidity.

But offensive, he is not. In fact, if anything, he's too considering. he should tell the Rush Limbaugh types to go stick it up their ass rather than try to placate and compromise.

Limbaugh is a dickhead. Dickhead's go out of their way to offend people. I think he would be offended to think anyone thought someone was more offensive than him. He might feel he wasn't done his job good enough. Limbaugh is King of offensiveness and is crowned Lord Prick by anyone who has not the time for his garbage.
 
Are they opting to raise the price burden of those who wish to seek them?
No, they are arguing they should carry said burden themselves as they see fit, Private Insurance companies shouldn't have to alter their coverage to meet the whims of the masses.

No, the price burden exists whether I, as your employer, provide coverage for them or not. Lets say I dont offer coverage at all. You would be paying for them out of your own pocket anyway.

Which translates that the religious interests of private organizations is interfering with the healthcare coverage of citizens who work under them?

I'm speaking of insurance companies, not churches. Private insurance companies should not be forced by the government to offer services as they see fit.

No. Them not paying for your contraceptives is not interfering with your ability to get them. An employer is not obligated to provide health benefits in the first place, so it is pretty silly to claim that those who do are interferring.

Rush isn't offensive because he's conservative.

Rush is offensive because he's a dickhead and wants attention.

Wait... in that they are not obligated to provide healthcare in the beginning is an excuse to interfere with it when they do?
 
You know, I get a kick outta those "no new taxes" wingnuts. The hypocracy of it all.

Even the simplest of minds should be able to understand that one's benefit package coupled with one's pay rate go together like beans and rice.

They scream "No new taxes" and then turn around and support the GOP/Corporate ****younauts as they attempt to take away part of the employee benefit package causing more out of pocket expense for the employee while adding to their profit bottomline. Taxes, fees, deductions, call it what you like, at the end of the day all that matters is how much of your money you make it home with.

benefits and pay are two of the same at the end of the day. If they want to restrict benefits, they need to come up with more take home pay for the worker so they can acquire the benefit somewhere else. So far, all I see having to sacrifice anything is the worker. And a big **** you to those who support the employers sticking it to the workers like this. i hope you all go jobless and have neither money OR benefits and that your babies have to put old newspapers over their ass because you can't afford diapers.

Wooohooo!
