Why don't you try to make your case with actual quotes. I believe its been clearly demonstrated that Limbaugh's statement equated that:
(1) a woman who wants her insurance company pay for her birth control are whores and "want to be paid to have sex" which makes
(2) them sluts
(3) if they want their birth control covered then they should make Porno's for him to watch.

Now, considering that the majority of women have used or use birth control... more then half the states have this covered by their insurance... he's calling nearly all women sluts and whores.

Now please show us how Bill Maher's comments are applicable to all women.

That's what Fox calls balance. They keep the hate in line with the malace, keep the malace at bay with the misinformation, and keep the misinformation held back with the hate. Or something like that, I'm no expert on their rock paper scissors of balance.

Attacking sarah palin or Michelle Bachmann for being stupid is like attacking any other politician for being stupid.

Well, Bill Maher's comments about Palin (I'm assuming that's what we are talking about) were insulting and out of line as well. I think most people would agree with that. But you seem to be implying that as long as people on both side are spewing stupid comments like these it somehow cancels out.

The point is that it doesn't really matter if the 'badness' of the comments are on the same level. Even if you think Maher's were as bad as or worse than Rush's that in no way excuses what Rush said.

Funny how you only say "stupid" in describing his words. No mention of the C-word which is obviously more vulgar and anti-woman. You seem to be protecting Maher a bit here.



Question: Who is the only candidate who's affiliated PACs knowingly accept money from people who attack women with vulgarities?

What does that say about that candidate's concern about women?

LOL BOA

LOL this is amazing. "What does it say about a candidate when a PAC THAT HE IS LEGALLY FORBIDDEN FROM COORDINATING WITH accepts money from bad person xxxx?"

Only in Boa's version of reality is this a post that you can type out, look at on the computer screen, and say "yeah, good work buddy" about before confidently moving that mouse pointer onto "Submit Reply" and clicking the button.

Ah, the "entitlement mindset." I got to hand it to the conservatives on this one. It's a pretty good pejorative, letting you dismiss anyone who wants anything, even things they are, well, entitled to, as being an ******* with a stuck up complex. It was a pretty good talking point when talking about poor minorities collecting welfare so that they could be dismissed as the sort who never wants to land a job, but applying it to the health care debate is pretty rich.

Women don't get their contraception coverage for free. They work a job. They pay monthly premiums. They are no less "entitled" to health care coverage than I am entitled to fries if I go to a McDonald's drive through and order and pay for a big mac meal. The government isn't paying for their pills, at least no more than the government is paying for my fries. The complaints of people on the right saying these women are demanding free ponies are false. They work, and they pay.

If the GOP has their way, they aren't strictly asking for religious organizations that have never offered contraception coverage to continue to be able to not offer contraception coverage. They want to let any employer cancel coverage that they had been offering for any "moral objection." It's not just about "Well, you should have picked a better job." Some women may have picked a good job they like that covered contraception, and then it's taken away from them. AND, the reduction in coverage doesn't have to be compensated by lower premiums. The employer can cut coverage and POCKET THE SAVINGS (been a while since I got to use that one). LOL those sluts are entitled bitches for complaining about that, amirite?

A candidate publicly stating that none of his supporters should accept anti-women tainted money is legally OK.

And every person who contributes to this PAC after becoming aware that it accepts anti-women money is endorsing that PACs anti-women standards. What does that say about those contributors?

stop trolling the thread.

Anyone who uses condoms is supporting rape because some rapists use condoms? Bad logic.

Who cares?

LOL BOA

It's just satire.

The first lady will be on David Letterman's show on the 19th. He onced talked about Sarah Palin's daughter being impregnated by Andrew Rodriguez. I assume Mrs. Obama would never want her daughters talked about this way. I'm surprised she will be appearing on his show and I hope she condemns Letterman's anti-women remarks.

Speaking of Presidents' daughters, this is all absolutely rich from the party that, last go-around, nominated a guy who said

I'M SURE IT WAS JUST SATIRE!

Calling someone a penis is vulgar but its not anti-men.
Calling someone a c-word is vulgar but not anti-women.

Despite the fact that you can't comprehend the difference between what Limbaugh said and what Maher said... clearly most people can. So no need wasting time on the few incapable of any more nuanced reading then "if someone on the rights sez it, it must be good and if someone from the left says something it must be bad."

No

It must be sad for you, being such a relic... not understanding why Republican women are getting pissed at Republicans left and right. That no matter how you try to frame it, you just can't get people to see that the other side is anti women.

Is it driving you crazy?

problem is no one except dittoheads thinks that Obama and the PACs endorsing him are anti-women. Apparently even republican women are getting outraged by the continual anti-women actions of the GOP.

I do enjoy watching you diligently repeat Fox talking points knowing that everyone thinks you're just being absurd.

Obviously you're not a golf fan.

Also remember how I kept whining about how to many people their understanding of racism doesn't extend beyond a list of words they know they can't say?

This is what happens when they try to apply those rules.

This is just more "satire"...
But if Andrew Rodriguez impregnated the Obama girls...
Once they are old enough to be clear...
The offspring would be Peurto-Rican, yes?
And Santorum would force them to learn English, no?

lol wat

Somewhere previously in this thread, somebody posted a video clip of Don Imus reacting to Rush Limbaugh's latest gaffe. To say that Imus was livid would be an understatement. He could not resist pointing out the disparity and the inequity of how he was treated versus how Limbaugh is being treated. Imus noted how he had personally visited the young women of the Rutgers ladies basketball team personally apologizing to them, in their presence, for the terrible thing he had said. Obviously steaming, Imus went on to accuse Rush of offering an insincere apology that he didn't really mean and asked the rhetorical question: "When is Rush going to 'be a man' and apologize to Sandra Fluke in person to her face?"

It's pretty clear Don Imus is incensed over having been fired from MSNBC and suffering all the humiliation he suffered while Rush Limbaugh gets a free pass. It's always fun watching two oversized egos (like Imus and Limbaugh) blasting away at each other. That's the radio business - one of the few "professions" where college dropouts luck into vast wealth based solely on their ability to run their mouths, yet lack the brains or intellect to control same.

And is echoed in this thread in certain spots.

Imus had the misfortune of working for bad companies with liberal leanings, both the radio and TV broadcasts. Now that he is on Fox Business, he is less likely to be treated badly if there is a next time. Imus should not have been dropped, but only full liberals get a pass usually, and as a moderate, he was screwed by MSM bias.

Also Fluke is a political activist and hence a legitimate target as all political activists of all political leanings are. The basketball players were just basketball players.
