Limbaugh To Convene A ‘Female Summit’ To Figure Out Why Women Hate Him
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/02/25/limbaugh-women/

Women don’t really like Rush Limbaugh. On Feb. 23, Public Policy Polling released findings showing that only 37 percent of women hold a favorable opinion of the hate radio host, compared to 56 percent of men.

As Jill Zimon notes, Limbaugh brought up this poll yesterday on his radio show, noting that it was one of the largest gender gaps Public Policy Polling has seen on any issue it has polled in the past year. His solution? To convene a summit of women to find out why they dislike him

(snip)

I own the men, and what must I do now to own women? And who better to ask than women? Including some of those who may agree that that I’m unfavorable. So stand by for that.

(end snip)

Heh, heh, bwahahahahahahahaha!

Rash, I think you would have to give some love in order to get it back. And I have not heard any love for women from you. Ever.

5. Two more words: sexual harrassment
And the fact he made a point of equating sexual harrassment with "dating rituals."

Women do not have to be a "feminazi" to recognize the insult in that.

7. Women don't have to do much more than be three
dimensional beings to be called feminazis by Rush. He obviously has a problem with us,I think it's called fear.

4. Because women, as a group, have better judgment than men, as a group.

At least in this case.

Edit: Capitalization. Duh.

6. Most women I know aren't all that fond of cockroaches, slugs and rodents.
But it's a mystery...to Lush.

28. Please don't insult cockroaches, slugs and rodents.
They have an valuable function in the circle of life. Lumpy has no value of any kind from I can tell.

11. Notes from this woman......
Saying he wants to "own" women is your first clue. Didn't women as chattal go out in the 19th century?

Here's some of my reasons:

1) You're a big, fat, loudmouthed, opinionated slob
2) You're ignorant
3) You're a racist/sexist/homophobic asshole
4) Looking at you makes me want to barf

36. You know what? His looks have little to do with it
Let's face it: I'm weird. I think John Goodman is nice looking, for instance. Plus, he's funny as hell, which helps. While I will admit enjoying looking at Hugh Jackman, my favorite actors are Dennis Farina and Paul Giamatti. Not drop-dead handsome, but wow, would they be fun to talk with!

It's not even Rush Limbaugh's looks or girth that's the big turnoff for me. It's his ideas. It's his opinions. It's the fact that he has so little respect for women. If he was a kind person, or thought about something or someone else besides himself or what he's told to pimp by the RNC blastfax he probably gets daily, it might be interesting to talk with him. For the most part, though, right-wing media personalities have shown repeatedly that there is nothing else for them but hate, hate, hate. Their view of the world is nonexistent.

Good luck on that "women's summit", Rush.

12. So, "owning" people is Limbaugh's goal?
That would explain his racist, sexist and pedophilic tendencies.

Someone needs to intervene. And fast. The man is a menace to law-abiding society.

18. Because he was talking about his beautiful naked body on the radio while their children listened?
Not that I listen, but driving across MT can be a real pain if you are trying to find a music station! I caught Rush ranting against Hillary intermingled with his prideful expose about his nakedness and how wonderfully beautiful he is nude.

At the car wash down the road the guy asked why I wanted to go thru with the window open. I said, "A Puke made me puke." :rofl:

19. I dispute that 56% of men hold a favorable opinion of him
I know he is wildly popular amongst that 23% of fanatics that still think Bush* was a towering intellect but I can't see another 33% having much more than disdain for him.

20. one reason, he was neutral about choice, even pro-choice when
he was the voice of "old style" republicans, and he all of sudden switched to adamantly defending and promoting the forced pregnancy side once it became apparent that it was to his benefit to so so.

About FemNazi, way back during the Kerry campaign, the rush zombies were out in force at Kerry's one and only campaign stop in the Seattle/Tacoma area. I was enjoying giving them some guff, when one of them asked me how our side had the audacity to compare the boosh administration to Nazi's and that word was so heinous, that it was totally off limits. So I asked her how she felt about Rush's use of the word FemNazi. All I got was a total blank stare, talk about cognitive dissonance. Rush zombies are like that.

22. There was the rumor that Rush is a Junkie Pedophile
However, I think women dislike him because he's a clearly an evil piece of expensive colonics shit. Nothing really that complicated. Should I email him and save him his angst? Or let him sweat it out in his evil piece of shit way? (Ewwwww-- Rush sweat, disgusting thought)

24. I'm shocked that the percentage of women who hold a favorable opinion of Rush is that high.
Frankly, it makes me concerned for my sex. But yeah, Rash - here's a tip: you might want to forget about that feminazi thing, as well as the women's lib is for ugly women who can't get dates comments. Gods, why would women who dislike that scumbucket even give him the time of day?

32. really 56% of men is not very solid ownership
I bet Jay Leno has an 80% favorable rating and so do people like Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite. And they probably have much lower "very unfavorable" ratings. Rush's gender gap is not much different than the Republican party's gender gap.

30. This thread itself shows the difference:
Strong, calm, assertive voices stating the truth and NO BULLIES coming along to chip away and one up and nyanyanya to make themselves feel BIG.

WE ARE UNIFIED.

Rush is pathetic and needs to UNDERMINE people in order to have a following.

33. "Sexual harassment will not be tolerated in this workplace - it will be graded."
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 03:05 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
--- From a sign on Rush's desk, circa 1992.

Maybe that might have something to do with it.

Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 02:38 PM by LaPera
"crusade" of women callers a few years ago, offering bullshit & flattering them, talking down to them as if that's what women want, but he couldn't keep it up for long, lost interest and it just faded because he wasn't really serious and Limbaugh really despises woman, it is very obvious.....As a man I was fucking offended by this clueless clowns attempt, it was insulting!

Limbaugh inside truly hates women.

Limbaugh sees women like some 1940's republican dumb fucking man would, as an object to be owned, not bright enough to be taken seriously and if they know what's good for them they better know their place.

Limbaugh can't hide that fact, no matter how much he pretends and tries to disguise it....This is truly one disgusting pig-man!
