    The drug addict rush only offers a worthless apology and only after losing advertisers and thus...money.
    I doubt this will be the end of this however.

    One of the funniest things I've ever seen from RWers is the way they try to act like they don't support Rush or take him seriously - that it's "only Liberals who take him seriously" every time he makes a big enough (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) of himself to have his sponsors pulling out on him and they're making themselves ridiculous trying to pretend he didn't really do anything. If you want to know who "empowers" him and "takes him seriously" just read this thread and notice that it isn't Liberals who're defending him and calling her the same names that he called her and expanding on his words.

    And yes, I DO take him seriously. He's a hatemonger and sows divisiveness between the American people. He's NOT a "comedian" or an "entertainer" - he's deadly serious about his hatred for Liberals and calling them "the enemy" and they "need to be gotten rid of" and "destroyed". IMO, he's responsible for most of the problems we have in this country today because he finally has us all hating each other and our politicians unable to come together for the least, smallest piece of legislation to benefit the country. He hasn't done it all himself - he started it and set the tone and now we have 1000 "Rush Wannabes" all promoting the same hateful, divisive message. We're well on our way to being "destroyed from within".

    Well, "slut" and "prostitute" and "send me a copy of a video showing you having sex so I can watch it" has only ONE meaning and it's pretty clear what that is.

    Just like Ed Schultz, although, I don't see Miss Fluke needing condoms - either latex or sheepskin. I am about as easy to entertain as anyone but don't see any consrvatives acting like they don't know Rush.

    Apparently Carbonite didn't think Limpball's apology was acceptable:

    “No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”

    Well, not in the real world carbonite. The Faux outrage is a hoot, though. My G-d, Fluke is 30. She is an activist and not a teenager when the Libs were beating up on the Palin girls and calling them names. Looks like Karma comes back to haunt, everytime.

    Anybody who spends $1000 on BC a year is having sex 1000 times a year and is therefore a slut and a prostitute.

    She's a slut and a prostitute because she was bought off by the left to testify, either that or she's just stupid. Take your pick.

    The left is very powerful. But as long as the left doesn't control both chambers of Congress as well as the presidency, it will always be possible to stymie the leftist agenda.

    As far as America is concerned, external and internal forces are grinding away inexorably. What can't be sustained won't be.

    A rough search indicates these:

    Tax Resolution Services [TRS],
    Lifelock,
    Hillsdale College,
    Health/Heart and Body,
    Allstate Insurance,
    AOL,
    and Lear Capital The Precious Metal Leaders

    so, if there were 12 advertisers in all on his programme and I don't know if that's so, he has lost almost half of them.

    It's no wonder he issued his half hearted apology.

    What part about this sentence don't you understand? Rush makes an ass out of anyone who takes him seriously. However, you just want to pretend that he only makes people on the right look like asses, when in fact anyone who takes him seriously, is an ass.

    BTW, I am not a rightwinger nor am I defending rightwingers who take Rush seriously. Rush is not a serious political commentator. He is a polemic and an entertainer and someone not to be taken seriously.

    Your mistake is that you take him too seriously. Given your history of dishonesty by twisting and distorting people's words, I doubt that this is what Rush said, especially without context.

    Even assuming that he has called for the destruction of liberals, he has not done anything about it. Therefore, his threats are not serious and if anything, he empowers the Democratic Party by being so polarizing.

    lol....you are funny. There is no way that Rush Limbaugh is responsible for most of the problems in our country. If anything, attitudes like yours are. Instead of looking and working on solutions to our problems, you look for scapegoats.

    Seriously, that was funny. Thank you for the laugh.

    If he loses all his advertisers do you think he'll get another radio station?

    Part of the transcript from Rush's show the next day:

    RUSH: Oh, yeah, I'm gonna deal with this. I'm gonna deal with it. I think this is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. The left has been thrown into an outright conniption fit! This is "phony soldiers" times ten. Oh, ten times worse than phony soldiers. The reaction that they are having to what I said yesterday about Susan Fluke -- or Sandra Fluke, whatever her name is -- the Georgetown student who went before a congressional committee and said she's having so much sex, she's going broke buying contraceptives and wants us to buy them. I said, "Well, what would you call someone who wants us to pay for her to have sex? What would you call that woman? You'd call 'em a slut, a prostitute or whatever."

    RUSH: Well, what did I say? I said, "If we're paying for this, it makes these women sluts, prostitutes." And what else could it be? If we are buying it.

    That's the picture of me that they have posted on their letter! (laughing) Does that not look like Nosferatu? I look like Klaus Kinski in the movie Nosferatu! Okay, that's that. I'm gonna zoom back out now and get the Dittocam back -- if it'll work -- back at its normal frame. There we go. Three ... two ... one. There we go. Let me read the letter to you. "What does it say about the college co-ed Susan (sic) Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.
    -next paragraph-
    "'What does it say about the college co-ed Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right?"
