Rush Limbaugh
I was surprised nobdy had posted his comments after calling a 30 year old Georgetown Law Student a "slut" or "prostitute." I'm not naive enough to think that all Republicans think like Rush Limbaugh does, but wow, its scary to believe that this guy is an influence on Americans |

Re: Rush Limbaugh
Compared to the names Sarah Palin has been called, slut is pretty tame. I guess free speech does not apply to Rush? Just more diversionary tactics from Obama to keep us from looking at his dismal record of failure.

I'm not naive enough to think that all Republicans think like Rush Limbaugh does, but wow, its scary to believe that this guy is an influence on Americans Poor/stupid choice of words - however, quite mild compared to many words used non-stop by the left to describe conservative women. See: Ed Schultz - Laura Ingram Bill Maher - Sarah Palin Joey Behar - Christine O'Donnell Keith Obermann - Michelle Malkin Mike Malloy - Sarah Palin Montel William - Michelle Backman Randi Rhodes - Sarah Palin Louis CK - Sarah Palin And, on and on . . . . . Where was all the media calling "outrage" when the left were issuing all their insults. Mostly, no where to be found. It's scary to believe these people and our biased media have such an influence on America. This whole topic was manufactured to further this President's agenda. Unfortunately, Rush stupidly played into the hoax. Just another example of our President pitting Americans against each other in order to be re-elected. War against the 1%'ers, calling fellow Americans the enemy, saying nothing when his side insults the right as terrorists time and time again, and now manufacturing a war against "women" argument. The tone of the Nation is set by our leader - or in this case the lack thereof. Very destructive Presidency. P.S. Fluke got the attention she sought - and more. She made her choice to attend Georgetown knowing of the insurance situation and also knowing that free birth control can be had all over the United States. Frankly, I paid dearly for insurance during my wife's child bearing years. I should not have to continue paying for others to receive free birth control. It is far time people step up and act responsible and quit forcing others to pay for every freebie sought. Fluke was used by the left to further their redistribution agenda - sadly, it has worked for most Americans simply refuse to see through the fallacy. "Women's Health" argument - laughable, but keep trying.

Re: Rush Limbaugh
I actually would rather they give FREE birth control... That way we don't have to pay for their offspring...
You either pay for :30 seconds of their fun now or 18+ years of the later!

You either pay for :30 seconds of their fun now or 18+ years of the later! The problem is those that rely on FREE anything are generally not responsible enough to use the control properly, if at all. So - we pay both now and in the future. Free birth control is currently given in almost every community. To date - unwanted pregnancies are still abundant. Giving out freebies does not force anyone to be responsible. In fact, the more everyone relies on Government, the less responsible people become and the more dependent they also become - which, is exactly what this administration wants. BIG GOVERNMENT run amok.

That is not how I understand it. |

Re: Rush Limbaugh
So we will "give" Viagra to men or a vasectomy to men or rehab or sex therapy but will not cover birth control for women. i guess that is different. We will treat cancer for smokers or a liver transplant for a lush but of course that is fine.
Millions of women take hormonal birth control for medical reasons other than pregnancy prevention.
Millions of women raped by husbands but dont deserve birth control.
Barefoot and pregnant is what we want. More uncared / unwanted for children.
Sex is not illegal. It is a key part of the human condition apart from religion. Here before religion.
Religion and health care. How asinine and arrogant to mix together.
If men were required to rase the children of women they knocked up there would be no discussion of this issue.

Re: Rush Limbaugh
Obviously its a free country, and Rush has the right to call this successful young woman a "slut." I guess the whole thing bothers me because there is hatred towards this woman just because she was standing up for something she believes in and attempting to be poltically active. I see it as a serious roadblock to a better performing democracy if a woman is called "slut" after she attempts to fight for a reasonable cause.

Re: Rush Limbaugh
I often think about how I want my friends and family to be more politically active and how I want them to actually fight for what they believe in. People like Rush Limbaugh inhibit that IMO.

The Occupy movement was non-partisan... not connected with the Democratic Party or Obama re-election efforts in any way. I'm not sure what "women" argument you are referring to. I do, however, know that the administration has made a concentrated effort to fight for women's rights. Hence, the Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act. President Obama has made some amazing achievements during his time in office considering the opposition and what he took over. I'm sure that I cant convince you to come to the other side, but this will be a fun 8 months. I cant wait until our President is re-elected. He is our only chance to keep this country moving in the right direction |

Now every Tom, Dick and Harry with a keyboard can reinforce that tone with all the forums and comment sections found under new stories. Maybe it was always there but only talked about in "quiet rooms" so the common folk did not get too upset. I will agree, the tone can be destructive indeed. We Are New Mexico!

RE: Rush Limbaugh
Why is it when a person is invited by a Dem to talk before congress they are attention seekers but the those that are invited by the GOP are courageous and experts.
As far as Rush is concerned, well as Republicans like to say, freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences, unless you can convince your listeners the Libs made you say it - HA.

I will agree, the tone can be destructive indeed. ABQ: I challenge you to find quotes given by President Bush (W) that called the opposition party the enemy, etc. Obviously Bush did not represent everyone's point of view (most often not mine as well). However, if political leaders followed his lead of civility, destructive personal rhetoric would have been minimized and perhaps our leaders would have acted like leaders. The problem with this President is although his asks for civil tone - he leads the charge against it.

RE: Rush Limbaugh
I was not talking about Bush and his tone and comments but more about the tone of discourse that has infiltrated our politics. And IMO, that negative began well before Obama or Bush came into office. And that tone has been ramped up in recent years. Politicians constantly hear it from the constitutes and eventually it becomes part of their everyday verbiage.
Few leaders on either side are willing to say enough is enough for fear of having to walk their comments back. We have seen it time and time again. The public does not want civil discourse, they want fire-breathing red meat thrown out at them to satisfy their blood-lust and hatred for the other party.
Those in the media give the public exactly what that want.

I'm sure that I cant convince you to come to the other side, but this will be a fun 8 months. I cant wait until our President is re-elected. He is our only chance to keep this country moving in the right direction The occupy movement was started with a call by Adbusters http:// This publication is partly funded by the Soros-funded Tides Foundation. There is no more left wing than Soros. Obama further the hysteria with his singling out of Americans. Instead of pitting Americans against each other, he should have lead a movement to prosecute those that took advantage of all of us. The Democratic party wants everyone to think that Republicans are waging war against women. That is a joke. As for Obama, considering he has spent our country into bankruptcy with his additional $5 trillion in debt, I would say he has done very little good for any of us. For $5 trillion, or darn near $17,000 for each person in America - much more should have been accomplished. And, check your facts - there was hardly any opposition when Obama took over. He had a filibuster proof Senate and a large majority in the House. Do not try to rewrite history, But, don't worry - Obama's connections (especially those on Wall Street) have benefited greatly with his corruptive politics.
