The big cigar and little “junk” in this Rush Limbaugh portrait made me laugh. I told Taylor Jones that it was a great cartoon, even though there won’t be many newspapers that will print it.

and now it's nine advertisers who have pulled the plug. who would have thought, after all the sheer stupidity and hatred coming out of that persons mouth, that something would finally resonate with advertisers.

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/

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

We do need to take this to it's logical inclusiveness. Fix it so male students cannot get condoms from Georgetown U., or any university health service, any more. If men think they have an STD, well the sluts deserve it for being loose. Too bad, not covered. Any man who wants Viagra must have a digital rectal exam and a cardiac treadmill test. Single men will not be allowed to receive any Viagra or condoms. Married men who get Viagra will have to produce one child per 30-pill prescription. Single men no longer have any parental rights regarding any child born out of wedlock.

Employers are free to determine what health care their employees receive. For example, Sharia Law will be implemented for employees of Muslims, and Christian Sharia for employees of Catholics and Evangelicals. If an employer doesn't "believe" in vaccination, none of their employees children can be covered for vaccinations. Employers can limit the number of children their employees insurance will pay for if they think the world is too overpopulated.

Well, interesting take, Geeker, except Fluke was testifying how a fellow student couldn't afford contraception (which are hormones) not covered by student insurance, that were needed to treat an ovarian cyst, and as a result she lost an ovary and has halved her chances at having children.

And it has nothing at all to do with any "taxpayers" paying for contraception. It has to do with the insured in a group, as they do now at many Catholic institutions, paying for birth control pills for their fellow members in the group.

As virtually every single person who has insurance in America does right now.

Rush Limbaugh was lying about all that. He's an idiot, and a liar. And so are the dittoheads that ignorantly repeat his bullshiat lies about the testimony.
