Oh, and yes, I think Rush stepped in it. Both feet. And tracked it into his mansion. Thought that soon as I heard the comment.

I agree 100%.

But, there is a price to pay whether or not it is monetary. What he said about her on broadcast radio is what I think is dead wrong. That is not civil discourse over issues. Who in their right mind doesn't think it was hostile, boorish and pathetic.

Americans have different opinions on birth control, its cost and who should bare that cost. That's America, love it or hate it. Rush can oppose or support whatever he wants to within fair boundaries. But, if he crosses such a bright line- there will always be some price to pay.

That is my only thought about the matter right now and the only aspect of the issue and debacle I have posted about. Any one who wants to debate the morals and costs of birth control pills is free to do so- good luck influencing or changing any one's mind!

Ok, so I think I have most of the letters figured out in "LGBTQ." But I'm having a hard time figuring out the Q....is it QUEERS! Is "queer" socially acceptable now? What about an "F" for fags?

She and another girl wrote an article that was over 635 pages long. Do you think anyone "read all that" (just like Obamacare) to figure out what it meant?

The left says similar and worse with regularity. I never hear of advertisers fleeing their shows.

David Letterman, Ed Schultz, & others make ugly comments, yet there is suddenly a conscience attack with Limbaugh.
Haven't heard of any advertisers leaving other shows when they make ugly comments.

Limbaugh wrong in apologizing to Sandra Fluke.

I'm not going to get into Limbaugh's brain, because he explained his reasons for apologizing very well today. He basically said that a conservatives must not be dragged down to the level of the left. You know, that old idea that we should fight nice while our enemies fight dirty.

Well, as a right-leaning libertarian, I disagree. The left loves fighting dirty, Bill Maher can call Sarah Palin the c-word and get away with it. Rush Limbaugh himself has been called all kinds of nasty things. Michelle Malkin has been called a gook and a ****, Ann Coulter has been called nasty names, as Chattanooga's commie cartoonist Clay Bennett has drawn black conservative Herman Cain as a confederate general and as a clown.

So to my friends on the right, why are you being nice? If a woman spends $3,000 a year on birth control and demands a Catholic university to pay for it, she is a slut. If Fluke had kept her sexual life private, nobody would be calling her any names. I mean, folks, if you go to a Jewish neighborhood wearing a swastika, you're not going to get a warm welcome.

I'm ok with Fluke having sex, in fact, I'm a bit of a libertine when it comes to sex. but here's the problem:

Liberals in the 1970s: "If it feels good, do it." Progressives in 2012: "If it feels good, pay for me to do it."

Well I'm sorry liberals/progressives, but I don't want to pay for your lifestyle. I don't pay for the sado-masochists who buys a $300 chain vest, I don't pay for the guy who visits the Bunny Ranch, I don't finance nudist colonies, and I don't even pay for the porn I sometimes watch online. See? That's how society should work, you pay or enjoy the free preview of what you like, you don't pay for what you don't like.

Yet now millions of women like Fluke want to screw the entire country. How would progressives feel if they had to pay for my bullets, my guns, my concealed carry permit, and all the things I do as a gun owner? How would women feel if the lap dances I sometimes get where paid by them?

The libertarian solution of course is to fight for Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Association. Georgetown also needs to clean house and get rid of those stupid liberal professors defending Fluke. You're CATHOLIC for God's sake! I doubt your university has a Pro-Choice Club or a Secular Humanist Club, or anything that doesn't fit in with Catholic Values.

So why are you defending Sandra Fluke? If that floozy had gone to Brigham Young University, she would have been expelled months ago! People like Fluke belong in Harvard, Berkeley, MIT, University of Michigan, and the usual places where conservatives are discriminated against while liberals are empowered.

Come on, Georgetown, you can do better than a freak like Fluke! Have pride in your FAITH! Georgetown is a great institution BECAUSE of the Catholic tradition. If you start tolerating Catholic enemies like Fluke, you'll be destroyed from within.

This already happened at Brandeis University (Jewish) which has allowed an invasion by Muslims and self-hating Jews who have attacked Zionism. So beware, Georgetown, you are not invisible.

This isn't an issue of right v. left. Each side cries unequal treatment. It is up to watch side to fix their own problems.

If other s have made similarly offensive comments, they too are equally wrong. If the language and scenario was like Limbaugh's, I would find it absolutely repulsive. But, Limbaugh's situation is compounded by his long history, vehemence and crummy apology.

As to advertisers leaving Limbaugh- that is their prerogative. It is their advertising and their money. If you own stock in any of them, take it up as a stockholder. Or, write them a letter. On top of that, vote against them with your dollars- by not doing business with them.

IMO reason they fled is that they simply feel they cannot afford to be affiliated with or support Limbaugh with their dollars. It is likely just a simple business decision made by Executives and Directors. It may even be more than that. Who knows?

If one pays attention to current events and news, LGBT should come as nothing new, regardless of how they feel about matters. Google also works really well. Beyond that not knowing what LGBT means is likely ignorance.
