Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist

[cwo_ghwebb]

Did you know there is a war on women?



Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened.



Boycotts are reserved for people on the right like Rush Limbaugh, who finally apologized Saturday for calling a 30-year-old Georgetown Law student, Sandra Fluke, a “slut” after she testified before congress about contraception. Limbaugh’s apology was likely extracted to stop the departure of any more advertisers, who were rightly under pressure from liberal groups outraged by the comments.


Let it be shouted from the rooftops that Rush Limbaugh should not have called Ms. Fluke a slut or, as he added later, a “prostitute” who should post her sex tapes. It’s unlikely that his apology will assuage the people on a warpath for his scalp, and after all, why should it? He spent days attacking a woman as a slut and prostitute and refused to relent. Now because he doesn’t want to lose advertisers, he apologizes. What’s in order is something more like groveling—and of course a phone call to Ms. Fluke—if you ask me.



But if Limbaugh’s actions demand a boycott—and they do—then what about the army of swine on the left?

Rush Limbaugh Isn


The hypocricy of the progressives/liberals is astounding.

After all the nasty chit they said about Sarah Palin, they have no room to talk about Rush Limbaugh.

There should be some sort of PSA that says something along the lines of;

"The vast majority of the media, print and on the TV, are biased towards the left. They just are. They just have been. For a long time. It is probably not reasonable to expect them to be otherwise. This includes the editors, reporters and opinion folks, the stories they choose to do and how they are presented. Bias means they will tend to slant facts and figures and reporting and editorials in favor of their personal beliefs. On the other hand, most radio is biased to the right. People in print and TV do not believe they are biased. People in radio tend to at least admit it."

Limbaugh was out of line and, at least, had the good grace and self respect to man up and apologize. If I were him, I would not want excuses being made on my behalf by comparing me to people like Ed and Chris and Keef. I would find that incredibly insulting to be lumped in with people who do not have the dignity or self respect or, frankly, respect for their own audiences, to ever apologize or man up.

Rush ####ed up. Took responsibility. And made it right.

Good man.
