AOL has bowed out. And the first radio station, in Hawai'i, has dumped Rush.

Our tax dollars shouldn't pay for Limbaugh's hate speech, either. And they do right now. Thousands sign petition to White House to have Panetta remove Rush from Armed Forces Radio, as he compromises the safety and respect of woman in the military. Led by women veterans: http://homepost.kpbs.org/2012/03/tho...-forces-radio/

His non apology "apology" was a freakin joke! This dirbag's gonna call this woman a slut and prostitute on the air, but oh he "never meant it to be a personal attack"! How else do you label that but as a personal attack! Hope she sues his ASS off for slander! Great to see a station dump his ass! His feeble attempt to apologize was only cuz the sponsors were bailing, he looks like the PROSTITUTE now cuz he's only whining now for $! Makes me sick!

Media Matters reports that today Limbaugh was attempting to get his audience to hang in with him, and was not-too-subtly urging them to attack the sponsors who have abandoned him. He was blaming the left for causing him this problem, and saying that they (his former sponsors) are attacking his audience.

Rush is an experienced snake-oil-salesman - huckster. He knows his audience. The GOP is still too scared to come out and condemn him.

Clear Channel completely supports Rush in this.

Edit: 10th and 11th advertisers drop Rush: SEARS announces late today that they will not allow any advertisements to appear on his show (they bought general station advertisments) and today singer Peter Gabriel is having his lawyers send a note to Limbaugh demanding he stop using excerpts from the song "Sledgehammer" on his show. Bonobos, men's outfitters, also drops Rush.

Can't really fault Rush for calling this girl a slut. He was told she was a Georgetown "Hoya" and, as we all know, he's a little hard of hearing.

Use whatever term you like. If "slut" was too harsh, fine.

She got up before the nation, before the Senate, and lamented that her expenses for birth control pills, which are not prescribed to combat any other systemic condition (like ovarian cysts which would be covered), are $3000 per year. As if that cost was unavoidable or that her behavior was inevitable. Like she has no mind of her own or can't control whatever urges she has.

She uses the medicine for the original purpose it was designed - to prevent pregnancy. She's being responsible in the preparedness and forethought exercised. That's no problem at all. We should applaud that aspect of it - all of us who want to see less unplanned pregnancy (and subsequent abortion demand).

BUT - make no mistake - it is her responsibility to cover that cost. Birth control is not free - and neither is sex. If you cannot afford the consequences that may come from sexual behavior, then guess what - you shouldn't be having sex.

We have a nation of spoiled brats. Waaaaaaahhhh, pay for my stuff, waaaaaahhh. Grow up people. If you can't afford a Cadillac, buy a Chevy. If you can't afford a house, rent an apartment. Don't spend your last dime - save until you can afford these things.

There is no Constitutional right to subsidized sexual behavior. There is never a right provided to an individual by anyone but God, and these do not depend on another to pay for.

Person A does not pay for Person B's rights. That transaction would have nothing to do with rights whatsoever - just socialism.

He left Bain early in 1999.. There are more important things to worry about than Rush's comments. Good job Mitt!

Hey OM how much did you pay to fill up your gas tank?

$4.69/gal here

Just think how many contraceptives Fluke's Friends could buy with gas in the $2/gal range

Around $3.80 down here. Not sure how this fits into this thread, though.
Is Mitt running on the $2/gal. gas platform?

Re-Tweet of the day from LOLGOP: "Rush needs to go back to racism, his sponsors were okay with that".
