So any woman who uses birth control is a slut? Also Schultz was suspended for a week while Rush is in no danger of being suspended. Shame on you WB.
First off, I clearly said previously that Limbaugh's calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" was a dumb comment that allowed the Democrats and liberal media to focus on something other than the real issue (THE REAL ISSUE: Constitutional 1st amendment religious freedom is not forcing Catholic hospitals and universities to provide birth control --against their clearly stated beliefs and doctrine-- to female employees and students. Especially when that service is already provided by public health organizations like Planned Parenthood, and inexpensive private pharmacies like Walmart.)
So Obama's posturing about the rights of women (of which Sandra Fluke is just a hired poster-child) is completely deceptive, and a manufactured diversion from the true issue.
Second, Limbaugh's remark, while annoyingly bombastic and not focused on the real issue, at least has some basis in the actual issue. A woman who is having casual sex, and is so brazen about it that she appears on national television saying that she not only is having sex, but wants the federal government to force her
Catholic university, that
she chose to attend over other non-religious schools, demanding that Catholic university, against its clear opposition to birth control, pay for her birth control... well... that brazen sexuality, and expressed brazen expectation that the Catholic church
fund her sexual exploits... can fairly brand her a "slut".
That's a lot different from the millions of other women who quietly use birth control, and don't put their sexuality on the federal stage in congressional hearings.
So her "slut" label was arguably not insult, but description of the behavior in question.
As opposed to Maher calling Sarah Palin a "cunt", or Schultz calling Laura Ingraham a "slut", simply for being conservative women. And these insults aimed at Ingraham and Palin did not get nearly the same level of exposure in the [liberal] media, despite that they were far more irrelevant and unexplainable.
I doubt most people even know that Maher, at the same time Obama is vocally condemning Limbaugh's remark, is giving 1 million dollars to Obama's campaign, which Obama accepted unapologetically, as he holds Limbaugh to a standard he doesn't hold Maher. The media ought to be reporting that... oh... never.
Schultz was suspended a week, but lost no sponsors, and received virtually no media coverage. In the same situation, liberals are asking for Limbaugh's head on a plate.
Shame on
you.
