One has to wonder about Rush Limbaugh sometimes. Does he hear what he's saying? How can he think that half of the putrid refuse he spews out of his mouth can be considered valuable information? And how has SOMEONE not shut him down yet? Most of thinking America is aware at this point that Mr. Limbaugh almost never says anything of value, and when his actions or comments do stir up controversy, it's certainly not because the comment has made us think or argue with each other.
The comment was just so outlandish, unthinking and usually racist or vulgar that he falls under immediate attack.
From his "Nappy headed hoes" comment several years ago to his rant about how a highly educated post grad student was a slut and a prostitute just a few short days ago, Rush has demonstrated time and time again a deep rooted and shocking hatred of women. Did mommy not hug you enough? Or have you just been rejected by women of every shape, size and ethnic group so many times that you've just decided to bring them down as much as you can? Personally, I don't care how long it's been since you got laid, ya fat bastard. When you verbally assaulted that woman on live and nationally syndicated radio, you assaulted every woman on birth control in America, including some individuals very close to my heart.
As for the rest of the circus that was once the proud and noble Republican party, they all seem to walk on eggshells around Limbaugh, meekly stating that his actions are "out of line" every time he says something else horrible. Indeed, they're the ones who started this war on women in the first place, wishing to make it so that any place of employment or religious affiliated medical facility can exclude birth control from the coverage of their insurance. To this, Rush said exactly what I'm sure most republicans thought; that taxpayers were handing these women hard earned cash so they could go have sex.
Um... What?
Firstly, insurance is one of those things that, like government, should not be affected by millennia old and obviously outdated religious beliefs. This is a free society, and the church and state should be separated. Secondly, the republicans barred the verbally assaulted woman (Fluk) from speaking at their convention, in front of an all male panel. No, this is not a movie about a corrupt theocratic society. This is the Republican Party.
As for their potential presidential candidates, Mitt Romney has taken a fairly substantial lead. This is probably the best possible outcome, as the three other candidates were arguably worse. Gingrich is a complete slime ball who lacks any form of morals or ethics, Santorum is a crazy hyper-religious basket case who wants to mash church and state together until the damage is irreversible, and Paul never had a chance. No, this is not because the government is afraid of him.
But don't think I'm just trashing on the GOP. Join me next time as I talk extensively about why President Obama needs to grow a pair!
