Rush Limbaugh continuing to apologize to Sandra and the public for his choice of words, is doing nothing but showing the coward that he really is. I’m not sticking up for the guy but he really didn’t do anything wrong, think about it. All he did was spoke his mind toward Sandra’s speech in Congress about contraception and birth control. If he didn’t say anything about it, somebody else would have. She made the speech public, and like I said before, she’s going to have to expect a negative reaction about it. Rush did not start the controversy, she did. She’s the one who started this debate and the first to bring it up to begin with. All Rush did was respond to it. She’s the one who should be getting all the backlash and not Rush. All Rush did was getting paid to do what he’s supposed to do.

Money talks, though… Whether he had a right to say it or not, if people don’t like it and threaten to boycott his advertisers, they can make things change… The masses may not have the money to pay lobbyists, but if enough of them stick together, they can change some things…
What he said was wrong. It was a blatant personal attack. She was speaking on health care reforms and it had nothing to do with her personal life.
I thought you were against all this negative stuff and personal attacks?
It doesn’t matter if you find what he said offensive or not, he still had every right to say it. People don’t understand that’s what these radio talk show guys do. They’re supposed to talk shit and get a reaction out of people. I’m not defending him. Just being realistic, which most people don’t know what being real is anymore.

Remember, anybody that comes here just to attack me, the comment will be removed, and if you keep it up, you won’t be allowed to post at all.

I’ll assume that a lot of you don’t even listen to talk show radio. Ever listen to Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, etc. The list goes on? Try listening to them, they can be much worse than Rush. Add Howard Stern to the list too.

I listen to Limbaugh and Hannity on a daily basis. Hannity is usually a lot more respectful than Rush. Rush like to mock the opposition. He’s more of an entertainer than an actual political analyst these days.
His job is to offer opinions, not personal attacks.You don’t like it when you are personally attacked, do you? So why would you support someone doing the same to others?
You obviously don’t listen to talk show radio at all. You think Hannity is respectful? Here is Hannity himself, defending Rush Limbaugh and continuing to attack Sandra Fluke. There you go, so you’re wrong on that one. Check out this article and listen to the audio on the video:

Hannity respectful? HA!!! Get real…
All these radio talk show guys: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Alex Jones, etc. Their job is to not only give out opinions, their job is to debate about politics. Some of their debates can get respectful and some of them can get real heated & offensive. All of them had their share of personal attacks at other people and being on the offensive.
On top of all this, I don’t find what Rush said offensive. I believe he was just joking around and he even said it himself during his apology statement, he was trying to be humorous. I don’t have to agree that it’s offensive or a personal attack. I don’t have to agree with everyone else or the media. I don’t take what Rush said that personally.
