Dear Commons Community,

Once again the voice of American hate, Rush Limbaugh, made headlines by calling Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who was denied the right to speak at a controversial Republican hearing on contraception, a “slut”.  During a panel discussion on MSNBC’s Martin Bashir said he was left speechless on Thursday after hearing  the “idiotic comments” made by Rush Limbaugh.  To quote:

“Limbaugh, who called Fluke a “slut” during his Wednesday radio show, doubled down on his comments on Thursday.

“So, Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis. Here’s the deal. If we’re going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch,” Limbaugh said.

Bashir reread what he called Limbaugh’s ludicrous thoughts and asked his panel to comment. Democratic strategist Krystal Ball called Limbaugh “despicable,” “disgusting,” and a “loathsome individual.” She also defended Fluke and said Limbaugh was trying to shame her.”

WABC AM in New York and the rest of the radio stations that air Rushbaugh’s vitriol should be ashamed for their greed and willingness to do anything to make a buck.
