Limbaugh Doubles Down On Sexist Attack Against Sandra Fluke, Demands She Post Sex Tapes Online

Yesterday, as ThinkProgress noted, conservative shock jock and strident women-basher Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown student who House Republicans wouldn’t let testify at a contraception hearing last week, a “slut” and a prostitute. “She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception,” Limbaugh said.

The remarks drew widespread condemnation, with House Democratic Leader Nancy Polosi (D-CA), demanding that “Republican leaders in the House to condemn these vicious attacks on Ms. Fluke.”

But on his radio show today, Limbaugh showed no remorse and instead reveled in the attention. Referring to Fluke, Limbaugh demanded that women post sex tapes online if they use insurance-covered birth control:

LIMBAUGH: So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch.

1. Limbaugh is one sick and sadistic being, but then again, I'm not telling anyone anything new.

He is disgusting.

[PA Democrat]

2. I can't understand why any company would waste money advertising on Rush's show.

And I can only surmise that based upon Rush's obsession with other people's sex lives that he isn't getting ANY himself.

Hey Rush, we're all having great sex 10 times a day! Eat your heart out pig man.

[Enrique]

3. republicans should be made to answer for this

forget about Rush, he likes the attention, the congressional GOP should be pressured to rebuke these comments, Fluke was a witness appearing at a House hearing.

[jobycom]

4. Sounds like she turned him down. That's usually when men call women such names. nt

[Matariki]

5. Is it okay if I pray that this asshole chokes to death on a fat cigar?

would that be evil?

[PatSeg]

31. Oh, I don't suppose it is "evil",

but personally I would like to see him grow very old, sickly, impotent (though he probably already is that), powerless, alone, and pathetic.

[flakey_foont]

6. if someone from the left said that

Repubs would be on the Senate and House floor demanding that Harry Reid and Pelosi condemn those remarks. But, of course,
no Republican has the cajones to dare criticize Limbaugh. He gets away with far too much.

[Angry Dragon]

7. Why is this guy still on Armed Forces Radio??

Is this the type of person the military wants to talk to the troops??


edit: what to why

[olegramps]

38. What it tells you is what are the sentiments of the vast majority of officers.

Don't even think of trying to defend these assholes. My brother was a high ranking officer and I never met anyone of his fellow officers that weren't right wing fanatics.

[MADem]

52. No. Don't make those kind of unsubstantiated comments.

Blatantly untrue. You shouldn't say such things, they say more about you and/or your brother than they do about anyone else. They are also a direct slap in the face to those of us who served and who are Democrats.

Just because your brother had shitty friends doesn't mean that the rest of us do.

Ask Joe Sestak if he's a wingnut. How about former Senator and Presidential Candidate George McGovern--did he look like a "right wing fanatic" to you--or anyone? How about Bob Kerrey, coming back into the fray with his Medal of Honor and half a leg? Wing nut to you? How about Rick Shinseki who was appointed by Barack Obama to run the VA--he was only the Chief of Staff of the entire Army, on the JCS...is he a wingnut?

Check Congress--you go and total up the number of Democrats who served, and the number of Republicans--then get back to me.

Here's a list to get you started: http://www.awolbush.com/whoserved.html

AFRTVS is geared towards the enlisted personnel, not the officers. It's for people who stand watch, who work shifts, who need something to keep them alert and awake.

It's also populated with what they can get--it's a "bottom line" enterprise. The cheapest stuff is what fills the airwaves, and the wingnuts have an interest in "seeding" so they offer their drek cheap. Some companies (for example, GE, that is married up with NBC) are heavy into the defense contracting game, so they play a "one hand washes the other" situation and will let their shows go at a discount, too.

It's why you're not going to see anything in the way of first-run HBO/Showtime offerings on the TV stations--they cost too much.

[Chipster]

57. Well-said.

[olegramps]

61. No it is bull to not recognise the truth.

[MADem]

66. And your "truth" is to quote a wingnut crazy neocon like Lobe? Please.

You're way too obvious for words.

[olegramps]

60. The fact of the matter is that the majority of officers are Republicans.

They openly preach right with propraganda to the troops. Who in the hell authorizes Rush Limbaugh to be broadcast to the trooops?

[MADem]

65. Your "data" -- such as it is--is EIGHT YEARS OLD, and it is garbage.

Your "source" is a neoconservative ASSWIPE. What, you think no one would notice? Please.

Also, you are violating copyright--four paragraphs and a link to that heap of trash, please.

Go back and edit. I'll wait.

[MADem]

64. No they aren't. Where are you getting this shopworn nonsense?

A good officer--that is to say, one who is sufficiently successful as to make a career of it--does well to STFU about his or her political affiliations. We serve our Commander in Chief, be he (and maybe one day, she) a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent or a Socialist.

Our job is not to endorse politicians, it is to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

When you make ignorant and broad-brushed comments like you have just done, you insult those of us who served. Don't make your brother and his idiot friends the paradigm--they aren't.

AFN broadcasts material that is given to them free or low-cost. They cover a broad spectrum of tastes, because they are trying to give servicemembers a variety of offerings--not just those that "certain people" might like.

The same people who authorize rebroadcasts of "Car Talk" or "NPR Reports" or "A Prarie Home Companion" or "Ed Shultz" are the ones who authorize Limpdick. They're the same ones who put "Hardball" on most TV outlets overseas, too.

[olegramps]

68. I published the facts so live with it.

The situation was so flagrant at the Air Force Academy that Secretary appointed a committee to investigate. They were pushing a extreme right wing agenda in which any cadets who didn't agree were being ostracised. I am a vet and member of VFW and have two close relatives that were also officers.

Just get over the fact that only 9% of officers are Democrats. There was another study that revealed it was a factor in that the high attrition rate for young officers.

[MADem]

69. Those are not "facts." Those are old, skewed opinions from a neocon nutjob.

You have a right to your own views--no matter how rightwing they might be--but you have no right to declare bullshit "facts."

You also might try getting into "this" decade and not try to sell us information that was published during Bush's first term.

Your credibility is not enhanced.

Get over that, if you can.

[newspeak]

39. that's what I want to know

is he still on the taxpayer's dime. His hate women remarks do damage to the brave women serving in our armed forces. I want him off the air if he's still spewing the bullshite to our military.

[MADem]

53. They get him CHEAP, that's why. nt

[Chipster]

58. Limbaugh's Misogny Promotes Military Rape

You're right, newspeak, Limbaugh's misogynistic banter provokes and vindicates rape in the military.

"Women in the military are more likely to be raped by American soldiers than to be killed in combat, according to statistics released by the Pentagon. In 2010, approximately 19,000 sexual assaults are estimated to have occurred in the military, although only 13.5 percent were actually reported. And the problem begins for some service members when they are still cadets: A new DOD report shows nearly a 60 percent increase in reported sexual assaults at schools like West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy in 2011."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/29/military-rape-sexual-assault-department-of-defense_n_1174736.html

Not that it should because of human decency and personal responsibility, but Limbaugh's influential stature to youthful enlistees shouldn't be marginalized, either.

[MADem]

67. If reasonably and maturely and succinctly stated, that argument could probably get the guy

axed from AFRTS. If enough people griped, signed their names to complaining letters, emails, postcards, and didn't get overly dramatic, it might work.

70. White House petition to Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta

Military rape is a huge problem. Limbaugh's misogynist tirades against women undermines military discipline and esprit de corps by influencing young men to view women in the military as sex objects instead of their fellow unit members.

Please sign and share White House petition to take Rush Limbaugh off Armed Forces Radio:

Petitions at The White House

Thanks, MADem, for the DOD link.

[tanyev]

8. Is that what does it for you, Rush?

'Cause there's all kinds of rumors out there about you.

[connecticut yankee]

9. Hey, Rushbo --

How do you feel about insurance-covered Viagra?

Or doesn't even that help you?

[kenfrequed]

10. Our daughters.

Those two words need to echo in our heads like thunder. Our daughters. That is who he is speaking to. That is who he is making this pornographic demand of. Our daughters, our sisters, our granddaughters.

Rush needs to dry up and blow away.

[LadyHawkAZ]

11. ^this!

[SammyWinstonJack]

55. Exactly!

GO FUCK YOURSELF, RUSH!

[calimary]

59. Then you need to see this thread! How to fight back at the local radio level.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002374653

Utterly, utterly righteous! TONS of good ideas that, having worked in local radio myself, I know to be true, correct, AND effective.

[Peregrine Took]

12. She should sue him for slander/defamation. Why isn't she?

Makes me mad when people don't fight back. Is the only thing these toilet slugs understand.

[barbtries]

22. give her a minute

it just happened. don't get pissed off at HER quite yet, get pissed off at the pig who deserves it.

[lunatica]

13. What a pervert

He's got a sick twisted mind that has no bottom to it's disgusting dregs.

[Raven]

14. I think his time is up. What can we do?

[woodsprite]

16. Is there a consolidated list of his sponsors somewhere?

We could start with that. Didn't that work a bit with Glenn Beck?

I was thinking about the Viagra thing, but I'd be afraid he'd actually post a pic of himself with a 4hr Boehn---- boner.

[enough]

32. DU link with list of sponsors and contact information:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002369972

Thanks to trueblue2007 for this list.

[RockaFowler]

15. This is what really irks me about Limpballs

The government isn't paying for it - her insurance is supposed to do that. You know that thing that we pay for each month that we get nothing in return for it. See prescriptions should be covered

[HopeHoops]

17. What the hell? Is he too stupid to find his OWN porn?

[Scuba]

20. Lost, huh?

[barbtries]

23. apparently.

and what the hell is he talking about?

[hifiguy]

25. Looking for a pizza, eh?

Edited to add = Pizza Delivered.

[PA Democrat]

28. **She*** wasn't talking about anyone's sex life in public.

That was your hero, the drug addict Rush Limbauigh.

[Zalatix]

19. There used to be 9 levels in Hell. Then Limbaugh came and dug a tenth floor

and called it the EIB Network office.

[gratuitous]

21. Keep this in mind, folks, for when Rush finally shuffles off his mortal coil

Because I'm pretty sure there will be the schoolmarms admonishing us to "be nice" and "speak no ill of the dead" when Limbaugh dies. The fact of the matter is that Limbaugh makes a whole lot of money to say these things, and he revels in the controversy and ill feelings he stirs up, because it means he makes even more money. His fans cheer him on, and in their own sick way perhaps even love him for it.

Don't look for any fake piety or ersatz mourning from me when death comes for this loathesome parasite, as it does for everyone. I'm not going to get all John Donne, either, because the subtraction of this miserable person from the land of the living will not in any meaningful way diminish humanity.

[barbtries]

24. on the contrary

it may lift it up a notch.

[hifiguy]

26. Addition by subtraction.

Definitely.

[The Doctor.]

27. It'll measure 7.3 on the Richter Scale?

[ibegurpard]

48. agreed

I WILL dance on this fucker's grave.

[WI_DEM]

29. I'll never refer to him as an entertainer. The man is sick

[The Doctor.]

30. Can she sue the bastard?

I would think this rises to the level of slander.

[WilliamPitt]

33. .

[mntleo2]

34. Of COURSE he paid for his illegal Viagra

...while on a trip to the Dominican Republic where it is known it is a place for child prostitutes (who are probably too young to get pregnant or little boys who wouldn't get pregnant), so this must be why he feels he shouldn't pay taxes for birth control. Get real People HE paid for it...

[yardwork]

35. This is how Republicans intimidate women from speaking up for their rights.

How many women are watching this unfold and thinking that they will never, ever testify to Congress about an "embarrassing" issue. How many women are being berated by their husbands and boyfriends who listen to Rush. Who many women hear what Rush says and internalize the message that women have not right to speak up, and any woman who does deserves public scorn.

[Javaman]

36. creepy. nt

[Sparkly]

37. Don't "WE" also pay for men's Viagra? Not to mention Oxycodone?

So I'm sure Rush will be posting videos of himself trying to --- oh perish the thought, I'm about to lose my oatmeal.

[saras]

40. The obvlous but illegal answer - she should post sex tapes of Rush with his 'boys'.

Calling Anonymous...

[annbaxter]

41. Good Sleep Number Beds fax number

their fax number above doesn't answer. Here's a working fax number. Their CEO is a woman -- Shelly Ibach.

[HappyMe]

42. Makes me wonder about this

bonehead's sanity. Years of drug abuse and having his head up his ass.
I hope she sues the hell out of him.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

43. EIB - Excellence In Beating-off

Masturbater Rush publicly announces his desire to masturbate in unison with his listeners. Why else would someone ask for sex tapes?

[backscatter712]

44. Bill Hicks said it best - Rush Limbaugh is a scatmuncher!

WARNING: This clip is not for small children or big babies - Bill Hicks uses some naughty words...

[felix_numinous]

45. The only good thing

is that people like Limbaugh are stupid and sick enough to reveal their utter contempt and lack of empathy to the world. At least more and more people are distancing themselves-- and now just might be the right time to--->get hate radio off the airwaves!!
Enough!

[dfgrehe]

46. Spam deleted by cbayer (MIR Team)

[Left Coast2020]

47. I didn't really say anything really despicable about Britebart...

....passing away. But he was a venomous, discusting snake. But if the fat tub of lard kicks the bucket tomorrow, I would love the opportunity to throw up on his open casket at the funneral.

[Civilization2]

49. Take that fat bag of sht off the air. n/t

[Shankapotomus]

50. Place your bets here

I'm putting my money that Rush triples down on Monday.

[MADem]

51. Oh, my. You first, Rushbo--after all, you're the guy who went to Costa Rica with 30 Viagra,

...and came back with 29!!

Come on, now, Big Boy--show us what YOU'VE got!

Anyone who uses drugs that are covered under health plans (like Viagra) and that impact reproduction (by enabling Sir Limp-o to get himself a stiffie) ought to be required to play by the same, insane, Limp-o rules, now...!

Why does he say these things? Doesn't he see the irony? Did he forget that US Customs made his Viagra public knowledge?

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. "She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception."

That doesn't make any sense.

So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazi here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch.




repugs sure seem to be obessssed with others' sex lives, don't they?


What's the deal, there?

[Chipster]

56. File FCC Complaint for Limbaugh's Solicitation of Pornographic Videos

Limbaugh's solicitation of videos is against FCC rules. You can file a complaint here:

http://bit.ly/ygF4u3

Advertisers come and go, and that it certainly a worth while effort.

But getting Limbaugh's license is a trophy.

63. What if the man is married to somebody else?
