Has Rush gone too far?

    And you won't likely see a thread on Schultz or Maher, because unlike you people, we don't foam at the mouth every time talking heads say stuff that bothers us. The point is not that OC'ers start threads discussing misogyny by others...the point is the no one anywhere ever brings it up. There is never any outrage...by anyone. That doesn't strike you as the least bit odd? Don't answer...we already know the answer...you're 100% Limbaugh 24/7. Seek help, Bro. :cool:

    I'll remember your "I don't defend anybody" schtick the next time you quote Bill Maher.
    LOL @ Limbaugh 24/7. Good one Fishy. Tell the fatman Wedgie says hi on open line Friday. Is George Will a Rush 24/7 guy too?

    See fish's quote below:



    You nailed it. If the left really gave a crap about women's rights and misogyny and eliminating vile and offensive rhetoric regarding women, then Bill Maher, Ed the Red Shultz, Keith Olbermann, and Jon Stewart would be greeters at Wal-Mart right now.
    Evidence of this?

    You have the right to say what you want on your radio show.

    Advertisers have just as much right to not want their brands associated with a bigoted asshole.

    Carbonite stock is down about 20% in two days, and is at an all time low. Does the CEO tank his company on principle, or does he crawl back to Rush?

    Tell him yourself. I'll be into my second single malt and giving blackjack lessons at the casino Friday afternoon.

    LegalZoom will come crawling back too. Rush still draws 20 million listeners per day. That trumps political correctness.

    Has Obama called Sarah, Bristol and Willow Palin for the misognistic statements made about them?

    Bill Maher called her a *unt. Dave Letterman joked about Willow (he meant Bristol) being raped at Yankee Stadium. Other celebrities have made comments about S. Palin and have commented Bristol needed to close her legs.

    Do you have a different number or are you saying this because HuffPo says it isn't so?

    No, it's just from everything I've read the 20 million thing is the peak number which was from like 2003 or something. And I just looked and it appears his ratings are down like 30% in the past six months. So even assuming it was at 20 million listeners it currently isn't.

    Also, the dude is straight up an asshole. He defended the LRA. That's inexcusable.

    Lords Resistance Army.

    He defended them because Obama spoke against them and Rush said that it was Obama supporting the Muslims in Africa against Christians (which the LRA claims to be a Christian group. Though they are most definitely not).

    TLDR: Rush defended a group that abducts, rapes, and murders children and forces them into slavery and to murder others (including their parents) because he found it politically expedient.

    I did. He portrayed it as Obama sending troops in to kill Christians in a Muslim country. Maybe you should read it.

    You people are wound so tight. Maybe you should learn to spot a little political satire. But like clockwork you guys go out and howl at the moon.

    Really? Even if it was satire (which it wasn't) it would be disgusting.

    It's the abduction and rape and murder of thousands of children.

    But of course, you'll cry fowl if people think companies should pull advertising.

    The repurcussions are coming. Asshat Maher gave the Obama Super-Pac $1,000,000. He also called Palin words that aren't allowed on the airwaves. He has called her daughter disgusting names. He routinely calls Ann Coulter disparaging names. Where is the outrage for his comments? Where is the media onslaught? Where oh where is thy sting? Two statist congresswomen came out with guns blazing against Limbaugh and they are asked in the link to defend Maher about his million-dollar donation. They offer crickets. Y'all can stop throwing the stones now.
