Remember what Limbaugh said about Sandra Fluke?

I do...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh%E2%80%93Sandra_Fluke_controversy

The Rush Limbaugh–Sandra Fluke controversy began on February 29, 2012, when American conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh's broadcast remarks about contraceptive mandates which included statements labeling Georgetown University Law Center student Sandra Fluke as a "slut" and "prostitute". Limbaugh was commenting on Fluke's speech the previous week to House Democrats in support of mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives. Despite disapproval from major political figures, Limbaugh made numerous similar statements over the next two days, which led to the loss of several of his national sponsors and Limbaugh apologizing on his show for some of his comments. Fluke rejected the apology as dubious and inadequate.

Burn in hell, Limbaugh...

Then, after the backlash, tried to walk it back by saying something about Oops, it wasn't "said in Christ's love".

I stopped watching anything she was in after I saw how hateful she was. I think she went on to whine about Conservatives being blackballed in Hollywood.

I won't be pretend I'm not relieved and glad that POS bit the dust. I didn't wish it on him -- but now there is one less hate-mongerer in the world.

Wow, Limbaugh's assholery knew no bounds, even in the time and space continuum. Was he pissed about Scopes?

This is your legacy, this is how you’ll be remembered.


I very seldom say that the world will be a better place without someone, but Rush is exceptional.

He always went for the lowest common denominator. And he usually diminished it.
