"... people who do nothing but have sex mindlessly day in and day out..." Lawrence O. crushes Rush

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45755883/ns/msnbc_tv-the_last_word/#46423098



Apparently there's some right-wing nutjob named Rush Limpball who has a radio show, and he said people who advocate for birth control (and apparently Democrats in general) are "... people who do nothing but have sex mindlessly day in and day out..." .


Lawrence O'Donnell pokes fun at this bag of gas.

"Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name."

as they heard it how preposterous it was. Surely Rushed doesn't think his listeners have never used birth control. I wonder if that was the final straw for some of them?

Have mindless sex day in and day out that support it too. Then again, that's beside the point.

The discourse of this campaign season has reverted 50 years. Unbelievable.

And Rush was the guy stopped by customs coming back from the Carribean with non-prescribed Viagra.

proverbial pre-teen boy who snickers at bra commercials/ads. Everything is about someone having sex and they don't like it, why? Is it because they aren't getting any or because they are to intimidated to experiment and find/do something fun? It's like the goody two shoes who perceives an infraction and runs to the boss-parent-care taker- who ever is in charge of keeping order. It's the same with gays, all they think about (according to repugs) is sex, with anybody or thing. But, it is really their (repugs) hang up not ours, they need a serious mental health evaluation. Dr Freud would have a field day with them.

they don't want people to have sex for fun.

cause, you know, sex should only be for making babies because humans are animals whose sex drive evolved for that purpose - to reproduce.

Come to think of it - it's like the right wingers are making a selfish gene argument - the one that posits there is no god and evolution explains even their religious beliefs - reproduction is the only goal.

however, we can demonstrate that reproduction is not the only goal for human sex because, if it were, women would only have sex when in estrus and would look like this:



Instead, humans evolved in such a way that they have sex for fun and not just for reproduction. (which is also why human females don't look like other great apes during ovulation.)

At any rate, I know lots of people who wish they could have "sex day in and day out"...mindless or otherwise. Last time I had sex it felt pretty damn good...nothing "mindless" about it!
