It's pretty obvious why Rush apologized to her. He is losing money big time. :hilarious:
Quote:A 7th advertiser pulls out of Limbaugh's showhttp://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/arti...d78e9fab27
By TALI ARBEL, AP Business Writer – 1 hour ago
NEW YORK (AP) — A flower company is the seventh advertiser to pull its ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's radio program in reaction to his derogatory comments about a law student who testified about birth control policy.
ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."
The six other advertisers that say they have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.
ProFlowers had said on Twitter that posts it received about Limbaugh's remarks affected its advertising strategy. ProFlowers is an online flower delivery service.
Limbaugh called the 30-year-old Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute" last week after she testified to congressional Democrats in support of national health care policies that would compel employers and other organizations, including her university, to offer group health insurance that covers birth control for women.
He apologized to Fluke on Saturday after being criticized by Republican and Democratic politicians and after several advertisers left the show.
Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks Inc. hosts Limbaugh's program, one of the country's most popular talk radio shows. The company is supporting Limbaugh, whose on-air contract with Premiere runs through 2016.
"The contraception debate is one that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue," Premiere Networks said in a statement emailed Sunday by spokeswoman Rachel Nelson. "We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him, to express those opinions."
Clear Channel Media and Entertainment operates more than 850 radio stations in the U.S., and Premiere says it's the largest radio content provider in the country, syndicating programs to more than 5,000 affiliate stations.
When asked which companies or organizations were the largest advertisers on Limbaugh's show, Nelson said that that information was "proprietary." Nelson declined to say how much revenue the company will lose with the advertiser defections or how much revenue Limbaugh's show brings in.
Clear Channel's parent company was taken private in 2008 by private equity firms Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital.

I watched James Carville, Paul Begalla, and Rahm Emanuel go on TV week after week lying about Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Juanita Brodderick, Kathleen Willey, Gennifer Flowers, and every other woman who was accurately painting a picture of the sleazeball-in-chief.
Clinton laid the groundwork for a lowlife like Barrack Obama to get elected. It is hard to believe that a man who, as an Illinois state senator, voted to legalize the killing of babies who survived botched abortions but that is where we are as a nation. When Obama took office, this country ceded any claim that it had to the moral high ground.

There is no defending this kind of stuff. The scary thing is trying to understand the mind that could condone it. And, it really isn't a complex situation, as you mention, the main stream media has stopped any attempt to expose the hypocracy of the left. Therefore, with no one to hold them accountable, Democrats run roughshod over anyone/anything considered conservative. With the free press shirking their rightful role as unbiased truth givers, and their noble heritage, who remains to criticize the Dems? Fox News and Conservatives. And who do the Dems and the main stream media attack, mock and belittle? Fox News and Conservatives!

In the U.S., we elect 2 senators per state and we have 50 (not 57) states, which means that it takes 41 votes to cut off debate on a bill and block a vote.
Of course when we have presidents like Barack Obama, who have no respect for the Constitution, only the Supreme Court provides any effective check on their power. If Obama gets to name anoter liberal or two to the court, then our federal government will be closer to a dictatorship than a democracy where the will of the majority matters.

Numbers don't lie, as they say. The concept of absolute truth is a difficult one to grasp in the mind of a liberal, I know. But, since we're kind of blending threads here the point you make about voting percentages is one I agree with. My point regarding liberals running over conservative's and conservative principles in "ROUGHSHOD" fashion is this; the liberal is at the helm of the Democratic Party. Main stream media are dominated by liberals, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, I give CNN a 30/70 pro liberal news ratio. With all these avid 'adherents' populating the 24/7 3 hour news loop to give color commentary in support of the liberal cause, the Dems can do no wrong if one accepts their perspective.

When a man lies to his wife, family, and friends about an affair, he is telling sex lies. When a man deliberately lies to a federal judge under oath about anything to deny another citizen justice it is perjury. Clinton did both. Don't confuse the two.

Rush has been caught getting, and it's a known fact that he uses Viagra. I wonder if his insurance pays for that? He has been married four times, with no kids. I wonder if insurance paid for the wives' birth control?

Quote:Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name.http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-1753947.html
Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at the airport after returning from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found the Viagra in his luggage but his name was not on the prescription, said Paul Miller, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Miller said the alleged violation could be a second-degree misdemeanor. The sheriff's office was investigating and will soon turn the case over to the state attorney's office, which had no immediate comment Tuesday.
Under the deal reached last month with prosecutors, Limbaugh was not to be arrested for any infraction for 18 months in exchange for authorities deferring a charge of "doctor shopping." Prosecutors had alleged the conservative talk-show host illegally deceived multiple physicians to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions.

Quote:JULY 5--The bottle of Viagra that U.S. Customs agents seized from Rush Limbaugh last month had been prescribed in the name of a Florida psychologist who has been treating the star in connection with his addiction to pain medication, investigators revealed today.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/c...agra-probe
In announcing that they would not charge Limbaugh in connection with his June 26 possession of the impotence drug, Palm Beach prosecutors reported that the Viagra had been issued by Limbaugh's cardiologist in the name of Steven Strumwasser, a Miami doctor who apparently began treating Limbaugh after the conservative radio host acknowledged his drug problem in late-2003.
While a prosecution memorandum released today (a copy off which you'll find here) identifies Strumwasser as a psychiatrist, Florida's Department of Health lists him as a licensed psychologist. As part of Limbaugh's recent plea deal in a "doctor shopping" probe, he was ordered to continue in a drug rehabilitation program with Strumwasser.
Since the Viagra prescription was written and filled in Dade County, Palm Beach prosecutors have referred their file to Dade County investigators since "any review of mislabeling of the prescription" must occur there.
Following the prosecution's announcement of its decision not to charge Limbaugh, the sheriff's office today released its original report on the incident at Palm Beach International Airport. After returning from the Dominican Republic on a private plane, Limbaugh was stopped by Customs agents after he was spotted "bypassing the inspection area." An agent then approached Limbaugh, the report notes, and informed him that, "he had not been inspected and was not cleared to depart U.S. Customs."
A subsequent search of his luggage turned up the Viagra, which Limbaugh said was given to him by Strumwasser in a bid to protect his "privacy."

Pretty much a double standard that you don't hear all the men opposing, and ranting and raving over, insurances paying for ED pills. Rush called her a "slut" and "prostitute" for using contraception, yet he thinks it's ok for the men to watch porn?

Hoffa was not being satirical but in his case, you claimed that he was not being serious. In Rush's case, he was clearly using satire, and yet you have repeatedly portrayed his comments as being serious. If you are going to point out double standards, you should not exempt yourself.
Google Maher and Palin and then tell me whether you think that Obama's super PAC should have accepted a $1 million donation from Maher after getting on his high horse to condemn Limbaugh.
