So let's look at those two situations.<br /><br />Both of these men used offensive language on the public, free airwaves. And then what happened?<br /><br />WIthin days, Limbaugh had doubled down and defended calling the woman a slut. Schultz was suspended from his program and then came on the air and made a personal apology, in his own voice. He did not mail it in as Limbaugh did.<br /><br />Regarding Maher, again he is a comic, but for me that does give him an excuse to debase another individual. But perhaps the difference here is that to see his show, you have to pay for the privilege, or punishment, depending on your point of view.<br /><br />Perhaps a better example might be David Letterman, who, like Schultz and Limbaugh is also on the public/free airwaves.<br /><br />He wrongly maligned Sarah Palin in his show and then came on the air to apologize personally, much like Schultz.<br /><br />Both Letterman and Schultz publicly acknowledged, in their own voice, on their own shows, that they were wrong.<br /><br />And Limbaugh? I'll let you and other conservatives determine whether his apology matches the level of contrition of either Letterman or Schultz.<br /><br />Lisa, try sticking to the post. When you get angry, or do not like the tone of a post, rather than bring facts and logic to the table, you react and bring in other non related issues.<br /><br />Really, regardless of how much any Dem might get away with, the subject of this post was how Rush Limbaugh was wrong.<br /><br />Are to believe from your comments that you believe it was alright to use that type of language to describe another woman?<br /><br />In all of your comments on other blogs touching on this subject, you've yet to say Limbaugh was wrong.<br /><br />Was he? And if he was, why has the GOP leadership be fairly silent in condemning his language and actions?Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272431500457083818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-51444206356119679882012-03-04T08:16:43.104-05:002012-03-04T08:16:43.104-05:00"Oh and by the way where were you when Ed Sch..."Oh and by the way where were you when Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a slut ? He meant it too that's the difference the left means it and the right does it just to get under your thin skin."<br /><br />Schultz apologized IMMEDIATELY AND WAS OFF THE AIR FOR A WEEK.<br /><br />And no matter your excuses for the foul-mouthed gasbag, the fact is that he is the spirit and soul of the GOP. All the GOP pols kiss his prodigious arse.<br /><br /><br />Bill Maher is not the spirit and soul of the Left. Most people don't even know who he is. No Leftyu politician is afraid of him the way the Right trembles before El Rushbo.<br /><br />Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin? What is this a pity party for the GOP?<br /><br />Those light-weights defeated themselves with their inanities and lack of intelligence.<br /><br />Your foolish attempts at making this a "he did/he did" equivalency will not work, and everyone knows it.<br /><br />You've come here and said EXACTLY what children do when they've been punished for being bratty.<br /><br />"He did it TOO!!!!!"<br /><br />Doesn't work here. <br /><br />There is no Rush Limbaugh equivalent on the Left. <br /><br />The conservatives built and encouraged the monster, now they can live with the destructive force it is wreaking on the GOP.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-60960992116725973082012-03-03T21:59:30.915-05:002012-03-03T21:59:30.915-05:00Oh and by the way where were you when Ed Schultz c...Oh and by the way where were you when Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a slut ?

So in other words it's OK for him to call a woman the c--- word because he's a "comedian".<br />Bill Maher is a spokesperson for the democrats whether it's once a week or once a month.<br />Limbaugh does what he does to stir up the masses and it just goes to show how utterly overly sensitive the left is. I used to think Limbaugh was a sexist until I actually listened to him and got the humor it really is just satire,unlike Maher who just comes off as arrogant and nasty. Anyone who knows who Limbaugh really is knows what he does on the air is just for the purpose of getting the left in a tizzy. His political views are what he truly believes but the other stuff is not who he really is ,but Maher used to be funny now he's just another holier than thou liberal who thinks he knows best.<br /><br /><br /> Who cares who's doing it? The thing about the left is you have comedians and actors getting free air time to call people anything they want but because it's "what they do" you get a free pass. <br />And it just so happened the president called this girl in the Green Room of MSNBC just before her interview there.<br />A 30 year old needs a phone call to tell how "proud her parents must be" from the president? Are you kidding me?<br />.<br />Oh and speaking of private citizens remember how the entire media went after Joe the Plumber for asking a question of the president? Even his taxes were investigated. Who do you think ordered that?<br />And then everyone was out to get him to prove he wasn't a plumber? That was what did in Nazi Germany using the media to attack people.<br />Plus they did it to attack Sarah Plain too and now they are making a movie about her and how they made one about Bush Death of a President. Are you crazy? The left is 10x worse that anything Rush says because he really does it to get back at what the left does all the time.And besides he didn't call that girl a slut ,he did make reference to it but he didn't outright call her one,unlike how SNL treated and distorted Palin and not to mention how the media oozed over every interview Obama gave and even Matt Lauer had to help Obama with his Muslim Faith response. After Obama said "My Muslim Faith" Matt Lauer said "You mean your Christian Faith". <br />Meanwhile Charles Gibson looking down his nose at Palin with a holier than thou attitude.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173702830006208833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-84932553748753305282012-03-03T20:12:27.682-05:002012-03-03T20:12:27.682-05:00Nice try at changing the subject, Lisa.

He is their darling, afterall, and GOP pols soil their undies if Rush smells any disloyalty from them.<br /><br />I think it's great that the GOP so willingly associates itself with and embracess a once illegal drug abuser, a guy who lost his job with ESPN for his racist remarks, and who now attacks young women on his radio show, calling them sluts and whores, and who admits that he'd like to watch women who get coverage for contraceptives post videos of themselves having sex on YouTube.<br /><br />This is who the GOP and the GOP politicians admire!<br /><br />I thought the bottom of the cesspool was as low as Rush could go, but the little worm proves to us each day that he can find deeper and deeper slime holes to descend into.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-20175265739069678122012-03-03T16:35:43.706-05:002012-03-03T16:35:43.706-05:00Women only want this poor man for what he can give...Women only want this poor man for what he can give them and he is stupid enough to brag about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-44538989978931433122012-03-03T16:30:38.460-05:002012-03-03T16:30:38.460-05:00All this talk about limiting access to birth contr...All this talk about limiting access to birth control is ridiculous! We are missing a much bigger problem in this discussion. The medication we are talking about does SO MUCH MORE than prevent pregnancy. Do you want your wife, sister, mother, daughter or girlfriend asking their boss for permission to take this medication for the following conditions?<br />What kinds of medical conditions can be helped with birth control pills?<br /><br />Cancer prevention for people with a family history!<br /><br />Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): is a hormonal imbalance which causes irregular menstrual periods, acne, and excess hair growth. Birth control pills work by lowering certain hormone levels to regulate menstrual periods. When hormone levels are decreased to normal, acne and hair growth often improve.<br /><br />Endometriosis: Most girls with endometriosis have cramps or pelvic pain during their menstrual cycle. Birth control pills are often prescribed to treat endometriosis and work by temporarily preventing periods. When hormonal treatment is prescribed continuously, young women will rarely have periods, or not at all. Since periods can cause pain for young women with endometriosis, stopping periods will usually improve cramps and pelvic pain.<br /><br />Lack of periods (“amenorrhea”) from low weight, stress, excessive exercise, or damage to the ovaries from radiation or chemotherapy: With any of these conditions, the hormone “estrogen” is not made in normal amounts by the body. Birth control pills may be prescribed to replace estrogen, which helps to regulate the menstrual cycle. For girls whose menstrual periods are irregular (too few - or not at all), birth control pills can help to regulate the menstrual cycle to every 28 days and provide the body with normal amounts of estrogen. Normal estrogen levels are important for healthy bones.<br /><br />Menstrual Cramps: When over-the-counter medications don't help with severe cramps, birth control pills may be the solution because they prevent ovulation and lighten periods.<br /><br />Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Symptoms of PMS such as mood swings, breast soreness, and bloating, along with acne can occur up to 2 weeks before a young women's period. Birth control pills may be prescribed to stop ovulation and keep hormone levels balanced. Symptoms may improve, particularly when oral contraceptive pills are prescribed continuously.<br /><br />Heavy Menstrual Periods: Birth control pills can reduce the amount and length of menstrual bleeding.<br /><br />Acne: For moderate to severe acne, which over-the-counter and prescription medications haven't cured, birth control pills may be prescribed. The hormones in the Pill can help stop acne from forming. Be patient though, since it takes several months for birth control pills to work.<br /><br />http://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/features/other-reasons-to-take-the-pillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
