Rush Limbaugh finally apologizes..too late?

http://radio.woai.com/cc-common/news...ml?feed=104668

"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir."

~~Well duh. I think he had no real intentions of ever apologizing but he was losing advertisers and I'm sure he did get some pressure from some of the GOP although they would never say it publicly to do so.
George Will and Peggy Noonan and Eric Cantor all said this morning that Rush's comments were totally uncalled for and rude and crude. Peggy said what many already know...the GOP is unwilling or scared to call our Rush.
Kudos for all of them on doing so.

bullshit

Only after the nationwide revulsion did the Repugs, scared shitless and balless by RL, say he screwed up.

Where were they in the first hour after his hateful spew about the girl?

They're craven, gutless bandwagoners.

the guy is loadin up on lard again. gonna snap that lap band.

He has listeners at about 15M/week

Limbaugh's Audience Size? It's Largely Up in the Air

Limbaugh is widely acknowledged to be the most popular talk-radio host, as evidenced by the record $400 million, eight-year contract he signed with his syndicator last July.

His three-hour daily program is carried on more than 600 domestic stations,

80 percent of his audience identified themselves as "conservative."

( aka, the deeply sincere "family values" crowd. :lol )

Limbaugh typically attracts about 14.25 million listeners weekly

Limbaugh's weekly audience eclipses all other nationally syndicated personalities, including conservatives Sean Hannity (13.25 million), Michael Savage (8.25 million) and Laura Ingraham (5.5 million),

If his advertisers don't want to reach 20 million/day people who are above the average median then that is their loss. When the smoke settles, they'll be back, like McD's and Kobe.

They'll be back because Rush got on his knees and begged them not to leave by apologizing.

As I said in the other thread on this, he is trying to stanch the revenue loss by this fake apology, but there is still some question whether or not Georgetown Law is going to let it go. Before the apology, they were putting together a complaint to file. I don't know the law well enough to know if the apology stops that or not. But it would be kinda nice to see Rush have to actually pay the consequences of his drug addicted, misogynistic tirades.

Rush signed a 400 million contract in 08. I doubt he gives a shit about the five co. who pulled their advertisement. I think it has more to do with bringing more money to the dems.

What did Rush say to where they would have a case against him?

I hear all this talk, but no quotes in context.

I agree. it wasn't really an apology. He effectively said his choice of words was poor.

At least three of his sponsors told Rush he can go fuck himself with his apology.

That's their problem. Seven, out of how many?

People love to hate on Rush but he is great at what he does. He is selling a message to people and he does it well. I really don't think he supports a lot of the crap he claims to support. I think most of it is a part of his talk show host character.
Besides, this is America. No one is making you listen to Rush Limbaugh on the radio. If you don't want to listen to his shit, don't listen.

I used to listen to Rush some years back. He does get a bit excessive in his attacks at times. Still, at the same time, I have no sympathy for Ms. Fluke. She is a Feminist activist, and seeks out opportunity for her agenda, like Rush does. They are just on opposite sides.

True to form again.

In a strict definition, it is an apology. I will stand corrected on that. However, there was nothing heartfelt about it, and no forgiveness asked. It wasn't what most people actually expect an apology to be.

Right, that's because Rush is an asshole.

That's why the sponsors told him to fuck himself.

I don't have any sympathy for the bitch because she's acting like a victim. And the media is acting like Rush Limbaugh raped her or something. America is becoming a country that is full of cry babies and pussies.

If this woman doesn't want to get pregnant, why doesn't she make her man wear a rubber or tell him not to explode inside her? I mean seriously, this bitch is acting like birth control pills are magic pills or something.

You want Uncle Sam to give out free abortions and free birth control pills. She wants free birth control pills and free abortions. I did the math.

If you are so passionate about these liberal causes, why not step up and foot the bill?

On several occasions, I have challenged those who want to use tax payer dollars, to instead, start a charity for the cause they believe in. Ask for donations. They can then set the rules and have something to be proud of.

Regular people and celebs will not do that. They would rather bitch and whine about the issue and throw stones at anyone that oppose.

This whole controversy is a joke. This just shows you how much of a joke Obama's presidency has been and how pathetic American society is.


Our economy is still shitty, Israel wants to bomb Iran, and we're in debt up to our eyeballs and people want to bitch about free abortions and free birth control pills. It's pathetic.

Yes, too many people are pathetic in this world today.

I can admit that I'm a negative pessimistic prick but I don't just sit around and hold my hand out hoping that the federal government or someone helps me. I work a shitty job that I hate because that's what people do. They do shit that they may not necessarily like in order to survive and give themselves the basic needs of humanity which are food, shelter, and clothing. Nowadays, it's like people don't even want to work for that. They want that shit free.

Shit like abortion and birth control pills aren't necessary to a person's life. You could make the argument that abortion is necessary if the mother's life is at risk. Abortion is baby killing but I wouldn't stop a woman from getting an abortion if it was to save her life or look down on her for doing so.

lol free abortions

"people don't even want to work for that."

You're one, stupid, ignorant fuckoff

There's still something like 4+ job demanders for every job offered. And that with Ms who are not evens job demanders/"unemployed" because they've quit looking.

Something like 6M jobs lost since the Banksters Great Depression began.

People are losing the homes, going homeless, etc because they can't even find shit jobs.

Lots of middle class unemployed have found shittily paid jobs (your level) and are badly underemployed/overqualified.

So take your St Ronnie Welfare-Queens-in-Cadillac lie and shove it up your ass.

You're honestly going to tell me that America hasn't become an entitlement society?

I don't have a problem with the people that want to work. My problem is with the people that want to be taken care of by Uncle Sam from cradle to grave.

You give yourself away using the 1%'s pejorative term "entitlement".

The 1%, the UCA, the super-wealthy are the ones who think, know!, they are entitled to unlimited, predatory, destructive Randian greed.

GFY

The government would spend less money on an abortion than it would an unplanned child mothered by a crack head who is gonna want to collect welfare on her kid. That's why these stupid bible thumpers complaining about the government spending money on contraception and abortion is hilarious. It's a drop in the bucket.

Paying for birth control is far cheaper than the alternative option of paying for her illegitimate children you fucking loon.

rush crying today, too. i'm sorry i'm sorry, please stop pulling sponsor money!

who's the actual whore now?

LOL @ Rush calling his words stepping to the level of the left. :rollin

I don't give a shit. I shouldn't have to be paying for the birth control pills that are going to dumbass couples. They want them so bad, why don't they buy them?

:lol Jacob prolly pays nothing in taxes given that during his xanax rant he mentioned how pathetic his income is.

:lol bitching about where the 5 bucks you pay in taxes goes

I paid about 1000 dollars last year in income taxes, fuck ass.

Free abortions!

Limbaugh: ‘I acted too much like the leftists’

Rush Limbaugh on Monday insisted that his apology for calling a Georgetown University law student a “slut” was “heartfelt,” adding that liberals were to blame for the whole incident.

In a statement on his website over the weekend, the conservative radio host said he “sincerely” apologized to Sandra Fluke, who had testified before Congress about the need for contraception coverage at colleges and universities, even if they are owned by religious institutions.

“I don’t expect — and I know you don’t either — morality, intellectual honesty from the left,” Limbaugh told his listeners on Monday. “They’ve demonstrated over and over a willingness to say or do anything to advance their agenda. It’s what they do. It’s what we fight against here every day.”

“But this is the mistake I made: In fighting them on this issue last week, I became like them. Against my own instincts, against my own knowledge, against everything I know to be right and wrong, I descended to their level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke. That was my error.”

He continued: “I feel very badly about that. I’ve always tried to maintain a very high degree if integrity and independence on this program. Nevertheless, those two words were inappropriate. They were uncalled for. They distracted from the point that I was actually trying to make. And I again sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for using those two words to describe her. I do not think she is either of those two words. I did not think last week that she is either of those two words. The apology to her over the weekend was sincere.”

Following a commercial break, Limbaugh returned to attacking liberals for his smear of Fluke.

“I used satire, I used absurdity to illustrate the absurd,” he said. “This story at the Cybercast News Service which characterized a portion of her testimony as sounding like — based on her own financial figures — that she was engaging in sexual activity so often that she couldn’t afford it. I focused on that because it was simple, trying to persuade people, change people’s minds.”

“I acted too much like the leftists who despise me. … It’s what we know and have come to expect from them, but it’s way beneath me.”

As of Monday, at least nine companies had suspended their radio advertisements on Limbaugh’s program.

There millions of Repugs, conservatives, bubbas, red-staters who will believe the ultimate bullshit above. The librul debbil made him do it.

Can someone explain to me how that bitch is a hero? What was heroic about going to Washington D.C. and bitching about not getting birth control pills and abortions for free?
Why didn't she bitch to her man or parents about this and get them to pay for it?
And why should a college pay for their students medical shit? When I went to college, I was responsible for that shit myself.

She did so much better in college than you did.

Anything else, shit taker?

"how that bitch is a hero"

straw woman. Your words, not mine.

She's not a hero, but it does take more balls than most people, esp dickless right-wingers, to want to go before Congress.

She didn't ask to be slandered by Limpdick, for like 4 days now. Her fame was totally created by Limpdick, not herself.

The One Percenters love the culture wars - what an excellent distraction from the class war.

Student-paid health insurance plan.

Quote:

---

For all students, good health is essential to achieving educational goals. Because maintaining good health requires access to health care when you need it, Georgetown University requires the students described below to have health insurance.

•Most students who are charged Georgetown University tuition and registered in resident thesis research or registered for nine or more credit hours in a GU degree program (eight or more credit hours if a law or graduate student) are eligible and required to enroll in the most comprehensive student injury and sickness plan offered through the University, unless their other insurance coverage meets specific University requirements.

A charge for this Premier Plan is placed on eligible students' accounts, per their registration status referenced above, once per Academic Year.

---

Students are required to pay for the university program unless their own insurance through either their parents, spouse, job... meets certain requirements set by the university.

This guy has been the leading conservative voice of the last three decades. A demagogue that directs political will is not my preference.

Rush's big ally: The army
A government-funded radio station beams Limbaugh to service members around the globe

One of Rush's biggest enablers has so far escaped attention: the Armed Forces Network. For years, Limbaugh's show has been beamed around the globe to service members, military support staff and families. Other attempts have been made to remove him from that network and have failed.

In his more customized attacks on Fluke, it's easy to overlook the fact that Limbaugh has a two-decade long track record of classifying women as inferior goods. This is the man who coined the term "Feminazi," who once stated that "feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream." In Rush World, most women are either babes, sluts or whores. They're cunning and manipulative or whiny and weak. There's not much middle ground.

So the question becomes: does Limbaugh's brand of misogyny really have a place on government-funded airwaves? Particularly when it's beamed to a military where some 30% of American servicewomen are sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers at some point in their deployment? Does he foster a view of women and their role in society that allows our servicewomen to be seen by fellow soldiers as comrades and equals?

Chapter 4: Flag Lots

Rush has been married four times, I doubt he respects women for the most part but for him to apologize for calling the women a slut is a start. I do believe him to a point when he blames liberals for his comment. Politics is a dirty business as you all know and Rush is on a big stage trying to keep up. Time will tell if Rush has learned his lesson here.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

The left is full of hypocrites.

I agree, Rush's mistake was thinking he could be as nasty as the left.

Did he say anything about Limbaugh's comments?

Oh, the horror! That POOR WOMAN! Just because she is a professional insurance rights advocate was no reason for Rush to pick on her...

It must really hurt that Rush had to grovel so publicly.

calling her a slut and a pro was neither accurate nor professional

Although it does seem to be turning out that she really was an insurance advocacy provocateur professional and not just some innocent law student as she was represented to congress. I thought that was interesting.

Oh please...nobody said she had to buy the basic student health plan offered by Georgetown. If she wanted a health plan that paid for contraception they are easily acquired. You just pay a higher premium...the bigger the benefits, the higher the premium...you do understand how that works, I presume?

might not be able to get a better policy.......with her being a whore and what not!

Planted by whom? Looks to me like she planted herself at Georgetown law.

If she did so for reasons pure political advocacy, as speculated by Mytheos Holt based on Jammie Wearin Fool's reporting, what's wrong with that?

And will someone please explain to me how the fuck this bitches contraception was $1000 a year?

Hell you can get an IUD implanted for $500 that lasts 5 years, rubbers are $1 apiece, the pill is as low as $4 a month...why do you guys just swallow that shit without question?

Sure, but it's a free country. Sandra Fluke can protest that if she wants, even demand that gender reassignment be covered. That doesn't make her a slut or a prostitute in any way.

As an educated consumer of insurance for my company I know that the cost of insurance rises or falls depending on the level of insurance coverage, specific items you do or don't cover, deductibles, maximum out of pocket, etc. that you choose.

What part of this are you not understanding?

though as pointed out, having medication covered by an insurance plan one pays for is hardly free
