That is a supremely wild assumption.

not if you're comparing the two quotes.

Imus said something that can be associated as racist, and it had nothing to do with the game.

Rush was commenting on the asinine premise that ALL *not some* insurance should pay for women's contraception. Something a lot of people would disagree with. If it was otherwise, Rush wouldn't have a radio show for nearly 30 years.

who would run to a congressional hearing, asking for someone to pay their birth control is more offending than what rush said.

Rush did go over the line on his comments *knowing how sensitive this world is*.

Rush was talking about the birth control debate. Imus just said some racist shit that had nothing to do with the game. I'm sure there's more people who would listen to what Rush said, and think "Really? This girl really wants us to pay for her birth control?".


And those people are just as ignorant and ill-informed as you are.

Limbaugh attacked that women personally, which is a tactic used to intimidate females from speaking out. On top of that, Fluke's testimony had nothing to do with birth control. Her statement was about someone she knew that needed birth control pills to control ovarian cysts. Having sex had nothing to do with her congressional testimony.

BTW, married women use birth control pills overwhelmingly to prevent having more children.

What a wonderful world it would be if people actually took the time to get all the information before ranting...

My thoughts on what Rush said.

When I heard the statement, the first thing that came into my mind was "the media will run with this one". I would say this, the fact that we have women, who would run to a congressional hearing, asking for someone to pay their birth control is more offending than what rush said.

If only that was what he said. But, it wasn't. Looks like in your Rush to defend Limpbaugh, you just ignored the facts. :(



Rush did go over the line on his comments *knowing how sensitive this world is*.

Really? Of all the things you've ever said, for some reason I think this is the most telling. Seriously. You think that fat addicted fuck went over the line because he should have known how sensitive the world is :smh: :smh: :smh: - - instead of realizing, bro, you don't label innocent people sluts and prostitutes, because you disagree with their opinions. By that S.O.B.'s reasoning, our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, etc., are sluts and prostitutes -- for having opinions different from the opinions of that slimeball. :angry:

Perhaps, neither of you, GET IT :confused:


Rush should have never used the sex tape analogy. That's what made it "offensive".

That comment was not an "analogy"; it was a baseless comment uttered in reckless disregard for the truth. If his ass had not issued that half-hearted apology, it might have bordered on slander.

One, I'm comparing facts. Scandal already addressed that.

Two, everywhere ain't your personal bubble. Just because "a lot of people" agree with Limbaugh and his rabble rousing because it dovetails with their biases won't make him honest. Imus said something offhand and racist and is still on the air making money. Limbaugh said something scripted and sexist and is still on the air, making money.



A lie isn't magically acceptable just because a lot of people agree with it.

After Rush Limbaugh stepped on a landmine with his contraception
comments, the left is trying to finish him off with an advertiser boycott -
an old hit-‘em-where-it hurts tactic that’s been given fresh fuel by the
use of social media.

Rush Limbaugh diagnosed with advanced lung cancer

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh announced on Monday he's been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. He said sharing the news on his show was "one of the most difficult days in recent memory for me," telling listeners he was diagnosed last month and that "there are going to be days that I'm not going to be able to be here" as he undergoes treatment. It was for this reason Limbaugh said he decided to announce the news publicly, even though he explained he didn't "want to burden anybody with it" and considered keeping the diagnosis private. Limbaugh has hosted his radio show nationally for more than three decades, and is an extremely influential voice among conservatives.

I wonder if he knows that cancer treatments and the medicines that treat cancer were developed with the federal government's tax paying dollars.

Rush Limbaugh is under fire for claiming the coronavirus is a 'common cold' being 'weaponized' to bring down Trump

The novel coronavirus has swept across the globe, infecting more than 80,000 people with COVID-19 and taking 2,600 lives. While China remains the center of the outbreak, the epidemic is on the verge of breaking into a full-blown pandemic. As the World Health Organization tells countries to prepare for infections, the popular conservative host Rush Limbaugh on Monday revealed to listeners what he claimed to be the "truth" about the "overhyped" coronavirus.
"It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump," Limbaugh said. "Yeah, I'm dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks."
The Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient then went on a 10-minute diatribe that observers called "reckless," airing debunked conspiracy theories and misinformation about the disease to millions of his listeners.
Limbaugh began his tirade by resurfacing a widely debunked conspiracy theory that the coronavirus is a Chinese biological weapon that leaked from a government lab in the city of Wuhan — a false narrative that was also shared by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
He then speculated about an elaborate scheme by the Chinese government in which it "weaponized" the virus "by virtue of the media," which he accused of overhyping the deadliness of COVID-19.

"It's really being hyped as a deadly Andromeda Strain or Ebola pandemic that, 'Oh, my God, is going to wipe out the nation. It's going to wipe out the population of the world,'" Limbaugh said. "It's exactly how the media deals with these things to create audience, readership, interest, clicks, what have you."
Though Limbaugh was correct in saying the flu has a higher mortality rate than that of the novel coronavirus, he downplayed the threat of the coronavirus.
Public-health officials are concerned about the containment of the virus, for which there is no vaccine. It also remains unclear exactly how the disease is transmitted, though it is thought to be spread mainly from person to person, according to the WHO. COVID-19 has rapidly spread to at least 37 countries with 53 cases in the US, including 36 passengers from a quarantined cruise ship in Japan.

He also accused news organizations of using the death of the whistleblower Li Wenliang, a doctor who raised alarms about the virus in the early days of the outbreak, to instill fear in their audiences and claimed the spread of the virus was a Chinese tactic meant to destroy the American economy.
"It's to scare people into leaving, cashing out of the stock market," Limbaugh said. "So losing a few people here or there is not so bad for the Chinese government." Limbaugh ended the segment stoking Cold War-era fears, falsely accusing the presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who identifies as a democratic socialist, of trying to turn America into a "mirror image" of "Communist China."

At least one conservative pundit responded to Limbaugh's claims with criticism. Charlie Sykes, who founded the conservative site Bulwark, called Limbaugh's diatribe on the coronavirus "stunningly reckless."
