Limbaugh: Judging Miss America proves I’m not anti-woman

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/14/limbaugh-judging-miss-america-proves-im-not-anti-woman/



Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh says the fact that he judged the Miss America pageant proves that he’s not sexist as his critics have claimed.

Although he said he “sincerely” apologized to Fluke, Limbaugh has continued to double down on his fight against feminism in the past week by blasting “overeducated” single white women and referring to the National Organization for Women (NOW) as the National Organization of Gals — or NAGs.

“I have affectionately referred to the NOW gang as the NAGs, the National Organization of Gals, for over 15 years,” Limbaugh said on Wednesday. “And the head NOW-gang babe was asked what she thinks about that yesterday on television after 15 years. Outraged! They are outraged!”

“Now, how can I be anti-woman?” he asked. “I even judged the Miss America pageant.”

1. How can I be anti-women? I solicit prostitutes all the time!

And the great bulk of them claimed to be over 18!

On edit: Is Limbaugh so fucking stupid as to not realize that "Organization" begins with an 'O', not an 'A'?

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Yeah, what an idiot!

Trying to be clever makes him look a complete morAn.


National Organization of Gals = NAG

How very clever of him.

2. If you have to *ask* how you can judge a beauty contest and still be

anti-woman, ya dumb gasbag....

I think beauty contests are repulsively sexist, but at the same time, how skeeved out would you feel to be a contestant being ogled by Jabba the Rush? Ewww.

And anyhow, some people say his taste runs more to young Dominican boys.

4. Keep digging, Pigboy,

keep digging. Great googly-moogly!

[Solomon]

17. lol

My sentiments exactly.

[bulloney]

24. Rush has been digging so much since his comments on Fluke, he should be getting the bends by now.

[hifiguy]

26. Either that or he will pop up in China.

[HappyMe]

5. Miss America?

Ugh! Antiquated stupidity. Thanks for playing, Rush. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Do stfu.

[Auggie]

6. Wow, what a pig

[Initech]

7. Wow... talk about someone who doesn't get it!

File this under "you're not helping your case."

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. "I see women purely as objects of my sweaty, greasy lust"

"I've had an entire harem of wives, one at a time. How in the world can that be anti-woman?"

[Erose999]

9. Ahh yes, the Miss America pageant. Or as I like to call it: Donald Trumps' annual search for a new

trophy wife.

[yellowcanine]

10. "Some of my best friends are babes!"

[immoderate]

11. Poe's Law Again! If you didn't know who said it...

... and you saw it on a bumper sticker, you might think, "Satire, sarcasm, someone is being funny."

Poe's Law states that if a quote is radical enough, it is immune to being satirized.

[Ikonoklast]

12. And some of his Bestest Friends In All The World are Black.

Puhleeze.

[Jamaal510]

37. Maybe Herman Cain or J.C. Watts.

[spanone]

13. a pig in shit

[liberal N proud]

14. CLUELESS!

[William Seger]

15. How can I be anti-dog? I've even judged a dog show

I LOVE dogs -- provided they're well-trained and obedient, of course.

[exboyfil]

28. Because dog shows are expoitive just like beauty pageants

My daughters do dog agility.

Just kidding even though my daughters have a great deal to say about what breed standards have done to dogs (bulldogs ability to breath and German Shepherd's hips are two examples).

I am thankful neither of my daughters were interested in beauty pageants or anything that would sexualize them. They are both looking at going into STEM careers. I am sure Rush would view them as uppity b***s.

[LadyHawkAZ]

16. He does know there's a big difference between

being pro-woman and wanting to fuck women, right? Right? <crickets>

What an utter pig.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

19. I bet you judged a few wet T-shirt contests back in the day too, huh Rush?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

21. Doubt it. He seems like the creepy awkward dickwad who was always left out of everything. nt

[WhoIsNumberNone]

31. He probably never got to judge on spring break at Daytona-

-but back when he was playing records and prank calling the electric company before he became the Voice of Conservatism? I could imagine some very toothless honky tonk in Pittsburgh trying to bring some "star power" to their titty night...

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

32. Hmmm, I didn't think of that. He started as a radio DJ after all. nt

[montanto]

20. Mitt understands: "How can I be anti-dog? I put one on my car!"

[EC]

22. He really thinks that leering at females in high heels and swimsuits

means he's not anti-woman. Really?

[treestar]

23. Good grief!

What an out of touch moran.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. Could it be that he understands what he's saying, how it will be received by liberals,

and that he's just trying to get in our faces? This guy's arrogance knows no bounds and he's anything but apologetic.

[LiberalFighter]

27. Would he judge a grandmother pageant?

Or one based on women dressed in hazmat attire?

And without being able to talk to them?

Or a pig with lipstick?

[jillan]

29. "The feminist movement was created to allow ugly women access to the mainstream of society."

“Women were doing quite well in this country before feminism came along”

"Colleges have been chickified. Men aren't showing up in as many numbers as they used to...This is what we have done to boys and men. The feminists / feminazis have been working for years to this end: advance women by diminishing men."


There's plenty more of those quotes, but that's enough for now.

He just loooooves women....

[thucythucy]

30. "How DARE you judge us?!"

--chant of women picketing the Miss America contest.

[Quantess]

33. On FOX, the only friendly venue for him.

FOX still wants to be his friend even if nobody else does.

[tanyev]

34. Plasticized women sashaying down a stage in skimpy swimsuits = wholesome American values

Intelligent women like Sandra Fluke testifying before a congressional committee about policies that will affect their health care = slut, prostitute

Welcome to Rush's world.

[Shankapotomus]

35. Yea, because being paraded before

a sexist pig to be judged like chattel is the height of supporting women.

[underpants]

36. How can I be gay? I like cigars

[eShirl]

38. or "How can I be racist? I even judged a minstrel show."

[lunatica]

39. I tried but can't find the Onion mentioned in there

Because it's The Onion worthy for sure.

[JHB]

40. Breaking: It takes 15 years for MSM to have NOW on to comment about Limbaugh

He's been doing this sort of thing for as long as he's been on the air. If someone makes "his team" look bad, he smears the messenger in order to discredit them (ask a long list of Democratic politicians). When Fluke emerged during the "contraception panel with no women" aftermath, he did it to her. Since she wasn't a public figure few people knew who she was, and she didn't have any real history his minions could look up, so he went personal. And since he's "joked" about this sort of thing for so long, he didn't think twice about launching his slut/prostitute tirade, nor with doubling down with the sex tapes line when there was any pushback on it. After all, who's going to push back? the "NAGs" at NOW? He's been blowing off their outrage for decades. This would blow over in a few days too, he thought, and help feed the red meat to his dittoheads in the process.

The difference this time is that it comes after months of RW direct attacks on women, both individually and on organizations that provide services: Congressional Tea Partiers threatening to default on the national debt in order to attack Planned Parenthood; a host of anti-abortion and anti-contraception bills in the states, the use of Komen For The Cure to attack Planned parenthood (one of the main providers of cancer screening for poor women, which is supposed to be Komen's mission); bills for state-mandated invasive vaginal probes, the wailing about "religious liberty" over the directive that insurers have to pay for contraception too, etc.

That meant a lot fewer people were inclined to dismiss it as radio blather and a "what can you do about it" shrug, and a lot more who wanted to express their anger at what has been happening. And Limbaugh painted a big red target on himself. Add to that the way social media makes campaigns like this easier to start and easier to join, and we get what happened: a reaction unlike anything he's had to deal with before, and an unprecedented sponsor exodus. (well, some of them have merely "suspended" airing ads on his show. If they think it's safe they'll start again once this blows over. Let's keep reminding them, shall we?)

[Ship of Fools]

41. what a maroon.

[Sheepshank]

42. He has absolutely no clue....did you read the rest of the article?

There is so much wrong with that sentiment I don't even know where to start.

“I’m a huge supporter of women!” the radio host declared. “What I’m not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose and feminism has led women astray. I love women. I don’t know where this gets started.”

“I love the women’s movement — especially when walking behind it.”

And there you have it.....he has decided what 'type' of woman is appropriate for his version of decent society. Heaven help all you women who strive for some level of equality and independence because you clearly are led astray.

Gawd, what an ass!
