I have so loathed the man called Rush for many years. But this time I am seething.
Rush Limbaugh is more than a big fat idiot. He is a big fat bully. I wonder how his mother would feel about his recent comments about Sandra Fluke. If women who use contraception are sluts and prostitutes, what does that make the men with whom they are fornicating. The whole “it takes two to tango” adage comes to mind here. Once again, the double standard is alive and kicking.
Since when are hate and disrespect family values? Since when did America decide to send in the troops to wage war on women? I don’t have a daughter but I truly fear for the future of girls today. Women the world over face violence and live in their own private hell. American women live the good life, right? That’s not entirely true. Imagine how much exponentially worse the lives and livelihood of women will be if society continues to disparage us and hammer away at our humanity to lessen us to mere, inconsequential objects. Limbaugh’s words are not glitzy hyperbole for ratings sake. They are dangerous, and he and his cohorts pose a serious threat to women.
Rush Limbaugh’s incendiary attack on Sandra Fluke doesn’t mark the first time he’s lashed out at women. He has had some rich things to say about women, cementing his role as Chief Misogynist.
“Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.“

I am astounded that FOUR women have taken marriage vows with him. Nothing says conservative family values like FOUR marriages. Ahem. It turns out that three of those wives left Rush. Chip, meet Shoulder. I cannot say I am surprised. Who would want to be married to a man who thinks she is a slut and a prostitute and a second class citizen? Though Rush Limbaugh has been married four times, the man is no Casanova or suave charmer. This is what he’s had to say about the ever-so-sacred act of marriage:
“If you want a successful marriage, let your husband do what he wants to do.”
“Marriage is about raising children. That’s the purpose of the institution.” (He has no children. I must say, staying out of the gene pool is the only good thing this creep has ever done.)
Rush Limbaugh continues to spew vitriol for ratings sake, but he doesn’t realize that the manifestation of his words will perpetuate the war on women. His posse might guffaw and wink-wink at each other while puffing out their chests in primal fashion, but the truth is, these people are dolts. Women influence over 80 percent of purchase decisions in this country and are amassing wealth despite the continued lack of fair pay and the glass ceiling. Women are, in short, overcoming. And we talk. Do Republicans really think they can lead this country while latching onto the sexist swagger of Rush Limbaugh? He’s not a talking head who just sets out to aggravate the opposition; he is a bully who will slash the dignity and rights of all women, Republican, Democrat, or Independent.
Women talk. Women influence. Women vote.
Rush Limbaugh’s brain must be up his ass. Hmmm…that could explain a lot about the anal cyst that allowed him to escape serving in Vietnam. The pain in the ass jokes are welcome and plentiful…
Magpie says
No, I won’t click on anal cyst. It’s enough just seeing it there. He’s the worst.
Sarah C. says
Well written! I despise the man. His latest statements just further his stupidity in my mind.
Robert Montgomery says
I couldn’t agree more! Can he really believe the sh.. that comes out of his mouth?
