Rush To Women: Has Voting Democrat Been Worth "Your Free Birth Control And Your Free Abortions..."

Yep, Hate Radio lives on...

Rush To Women: Has Voting Democrat Been Worth "Your Free Birth Control And Your Free Abortions While You're Waiting Tables?"

Limbaugh: Women "Seek Prosperity Through Politics Rather Than Through The Economy"

Video ››› September 19, 2013 1:54 PM EDT ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF

(Transcript is here but has been wiped of the offensive remarks:

I don't mean to sound -- What, domineering? -- 'cause I'm not. I don't mean to sound intimidating, 'cause I'm not. I don't mean to sound threatening, because I'm not. I don't mean to sound scary, 'cause I'm not. I just have a question for you. I don't mean to sound insulting because I'm not. I don't mean to sound threatening, mean, or any of that, 'cause I'm not. I don't mean to sound chauvinistic. I don't mean to sound above it all. I don't mean to sound condescending. I don't mean to sound arrogant.

I just have question.

Has it been worth it?

Has it been worth it to get all your free birth control and your free abortions while you're waiting tables?

Has it been worth it?

Even if such things existed he wouldn't have much of a point. Free birth control could only be good nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #13

for society, and a long-term money saver to boot. As it is, though, he's talking completely out of his fat fucking ass.

And BTW I'm on the chunky side myself, if anybody wants to reprimand me for size prejudice or something...

He panders to the same crowd as the national enquirer or whatever the lowest of lowbrow scandal mag is out there. He panders to the crowd the Kardishians attract. There's money to be made and a whole industry thrives on finding new ways to exploit it.

That's all it's about. I really don't think Rush should be taken any more seriously than Britney Spears.

like pedophiles, neo Nazis, rapists, i mean why else would he be inciting hatred towards blacks and women all the time on his show.

No. He doesn't pander to a "worse audience" than the one he has, which has made him a multimillionaire.
Not only that, but his audience is international, or rather, found throughout the English speaking world. To be sure he knows all the trigger words and has learned how to use them. That's his business.

I think the USA is becoming less homophobic but still insists with its misogynistic or otherwise Patriarchal ways.

I'm a bit amazed at his new-found power in the R's, because he's never been other than a bottom feeder.

Was getting your maid to mule thousands of opioid pain pills and eating a steady diet of them for years worth losing your hearing, the ability to maintain an erection and your soul in general???

and the one time I considered an abortion, it would have cost me $300 through Planned Parenthood.

That said, yeah, it's been worth it, fighting scumbags like you -- and even the occasional loss wasn't too bad. At least I rest easy on the fruits of my conscience, Rush. Do you?
