Looks like he's starting to feel this sting of losing all those advertisers.
Rush Limbaugh ripped into President Obama on Tuesday for Mr. Obamas comments about the Sandra Fluke slut controversy. He called Obama a hypocrite for criticizing his harsh words about Ms. Fluke, saying the president gives a free pass to similar language from liberals.
Mr. Limbaugh mentioned in particular an incident from Labor Day 2011 when, prior to an Obama address to a rally in Detroit, Teamsters President James Hoffa said of the tea party, Lets take these sons of bitches out.
Obama only chuckled at that incident, said Limbaugh.
<...>
At the press conference, Obama also said he did not know whats in Rush Limbaughs heart and so would not comment on the sincerity of the talk-show host/provocateurs apology for his actions.
Limbaugh reacted strongly to this assertion, saying, He doesnt know whats in my heart. Ill bet he knows whats in Jeremiah Wrights heart. He was in Jeremiah Wrights church for 20 years.

I think this demand is what has made women so angry.

(82,849 posts)By the way, can we establish a little context for Rev. Wright? The Toady Show fell all over itself trying to explain Ann Romney's comment about not considering herself wealthy earlier this week. Does anyone know what the context was for Rev. Wright saying "God damn America"? Yes? No?
He was talking about slavery, and the shameful fact that it was once a legal and acceptable practice in the United States to buy and sell human beings. Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to agree with Rev. Wright that slavery was a despicable and, yes, damnable practice.
Anyone with an opposing viewpoint anent slavery is welcome to blow it out his or her ass.

3.5 years later people are probably like 'WHO?'
